Acceptable Stay near King's Cross

convenient location clean room street noise no lift
The location is close to King's Cross and Russell Square. The room was clean. I appreciated the proximity to transport links. It made getting around quite easy
The room faced the street and there was noticeable noise. The single glazing did little to block outside sounds. there was no lift so I had to carry my luggage up the stairs. It was quite inconvenient.
