People who put bad reviews, really?
You have what you pay for. It’s very very cheap for London so the room is totally ok for this price.
I needed it for some hours sleep before trip from Kings Kross station which is in 7 minutes from hotel
Very pleasant stuff
Clean and good, but not soundproof

It was quite far from the Eurostar station esp having to drag our luggages along uneven pavements. The hotel is more like a guesthouse and does not come with lifts i.e: you will have to carry your suitcases up flights of steps. Rooms were quite small and basic and the reception informed to always keep the bathroom door closed due to a highly sensitive smoke alarm system that is triggered due to hot showers. Once triggered the penalty is GBP100. Breakfast was basic.

Needed a place to stay over due to the train strikes. House of Toby was available and reasonable. Location to St. Pancras is good. The downside is our front facing room had all the road noise and lots of it. Room was small but adequate. Bed comfy, shower superb, tea and coffee facilities fine. Continental breakfast very good indeed. All staff were friendly, helpful and obliging. Recommend for anyone on a budget.

If possible, don't go.
There are probably better hotels around King's Cross that you can compromise on at similar prices. (First of all, it’s hard to call this a hotel.)
It's smelly, dirty, noisy and dark.
If you really need to come, avoid the basement and ask for an assignment. Any request will not be properly accepted anyway. Please note that there is no elevator.

A small hotel run by an Indian, it’s okay, just make do with two nights in London, after all, the price of a serious hotel in London is sky-high,

Only a brief stay, but not a good one. Room had a constant buzzing noise, as if water was heating, but it was constant - never stopped.however the most concerning part of the stay was when water was pouring out from the light fixture above the shower. I reported both to front desk, and was told it was an issue with the shower in the room above and was safe to use. There was absolutely no chance I was testing that theory, there was more water coming out the light than had come out the shower itself. Enough that I left a day early. Sent an email to the hotel post stay explaining my dissatisfaction and my reason for leaving - yet to receive any kind of response. Staff were nice but hotel itself is dangerous, avoid.

Perfect comfortable stay, very clean, lovely reception team who were very helpful. Rooms were lovely, shower was amazing. 5-10 min walk to St Pancras Station. Really nice property and would certainly recommend. No lift, we were on top floor (310) long way to carry luggage -we were offered help so should have accepted it.

Arrived late on Sunday & easy check in. My room was small but had everything you would need. It was clean and comfortable. Toiletries provided. Didn't use food or drink facilities. Must have replaced the carpets on the stairs & communal areas because they looked new and not like the one in photos on previous reviews. Location spot on for train & tube. The only negative is a bit of noise from corridors when occupants of neighbouring rooms were entering & leaving. Amazing value for money
