    • It was a short convenient walk from Kings Cross Station. There was a Costa Coffee shop nearby and a Coop as well. Very convenient location! Check in was easy and the person at checkin was very kind! Definitely would consider staying here again!
    • Clean , friendly , central and very reasonable price ..
    • Location was great. Issue with toilet continuously flushing and staff sorted immediately. Friendly hotel staff

    Cons -

    • Strong smell of fresh freshener
    • The stairs are pretty winding and going up or down these stairs with a suitcase is a challenge. There’s no elevator.
    • Need instructions on the shower on how to change temp. Set fire alarm off. But issue was helped by the kind receptionist

    There was always someone at the front desk, which was nice. Next to that the room was clean and since I was at the back of the property, I barely neared any city sounds.

    The stairs are pretty winding and going up or down these stairs with a suitcase is a challenge. There’s no elevator.

    The location was perfect for being close to Kings Cross. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The hotel had lovely decor, very clean and comfortable beds. Rooms were a good size for what we needed it for which was literally for sleeping and showering. The room had a little dressing table, small hanging wardrobe, hairdryer and kettle facilities. You could leave your luggage upon arrival and departure which was useful if you needed to.Air con in the rooms. We slept with the window open and it was so quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

    We didn’t dislike anything the only downside would be that there are a lot of stairs to walk up. We were on the third floor which didn’t affect us and we only had two small cases to carry but you might struggle if you have large, heavy cases. The guy on reception did check that we were ok with the third floor when we checked in and asked if we needed help with carrying luggage though which was lovely but maybe check before booking if you struggle with stairs.

    Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean and comfortable.

    A minor point..needed hooks in bathroom as nowhere to hang towels.

    9MichaelPosted on: 2-20-2026

    Nicely designed hotel, with very comfortable room for short stays and very near St Pancras train station and amenities. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

    8RuthPosted on: 2-20-2026

    Staff were really friendly and helpful. Stayed in February half term and was excellent value for money.

    The bathroom was very clean and modern but did smell musty. It didn’t effect our stay.

    Staff were very friendly, room was comfortable and clean

    The fan outside the room was a little loud, but I slept fine

    6MichaelPosted on: 2-19-2026

    Good decor, great shower!

    Staff on arrival (c. 22:45) seemed quite keen to pack us off to bed and close reception & bar area whicg was a little sad. Room very small, wouldn't have wanted to stay more than a couple of nights.

    8PaulinePosted on: 2-19-2026

    Room facilities were excellent. Small but everything necessary and in good condition. I was only staying over night because of attending a concert in the city which would have made getting to the railway station a little uncertain. The location of The Toby was ideal for getting to Euston early the next morning. I have definitely found a place I shall use again if I need to be in London late evening.

    Helpful staff, free bag storage for both arrival and after leaving. Clean room, with comfy beds. Tea & Coffee in room.

    A little street noise, but not a problem.

    Great location close to King's Cross, very polite employees

    Room was on the ground floor in the backyard, extremely dark, very small. Supposed to be a double room, I was lucky that I was alone. For two persons the room would have been way too small. No chair in the room but a desk, which also made no sense. Some interiors quite worn and dated...

    5AlysonPosted on: 2-18-2026

    Good location

    Not serviced overnight unless requested Hangers in very small open wardrobe not removable leaving difficult to hang clothes

    Location, staff and comms.

    8BowenPosted on: 2-17-2026

    Friendly staff, very convenient location, good value continental breakfast, and although the room was compact, it was ideal for a couple of nights as a solo traveller

    The hotel was in a central location. The room was really comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and professional.
