“What stands out is its prime location right by Kings Cross; you're essentially across the street. Rooms lean toward the basic side, but the presence of a mini-fridge and kettle is a nice touch for the price. If you snag a room on the higher floors, the water pressure in the shower is surprisingly good.”
