We loved the location since it was really close to King's Cross station, making it easy to explore the city. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, ensuring we felt welcomed throughout our stay. The hotel also offered a basic breakfast, which was a nice bonus, and the cleanliness of the bathrooms and communal areas was impressive.

the location is unbeatable as it’s just a short walk to the Kings Cross station, making transportation a breeze. The friendly staff were incredibly helpful, offering us free coffee and storing our bags when our room wasn't ready. The cleanliness of the bathrooms and the amazing showers blew us away; the water pressure was the best we’ve experienced anywhere in Australia.
