Showers n bathrooms were always dirty some had no tiles n the drains smelt. The kitchen area is ok someone comes and cleans the dishes left over at the end of theday but they can be there all day. Cockroaches were the worst,dead under my bed and running along da floor and walls. The neighbourhood is quite dodgy very unsavory characters hang out on the street across the road. If u intend on booking this hotel research kings cross first.

Quite dirty, bathrooms not very nice (partially just cold or not working properly), kitchen is not clean as well, but good atmosphere in general, parties on the rooftop every day.

A very outdated hostel which made it have an odd atmosphere. The shared bathrooms were VERY DIRTY and smelt quite gross. the facilites in our room were also outdated, not very clean to the point that i could not see my own reflection in the mirror. good location close to kings cross and potts point and free internet was also good - but they were the only good aspects of this place. if looking for a cheap bed near kings cross this place, while might not be great, will do the job.
