“I noted the location strikes a practical chord, close to King's Cross and the Eurostar. Cleanliness seems a priority, and I appreciate the self-check-in-convenient if arrival times are uncertain. It appears to be a straightforward, no-frills base for exploring the city, with the British Museum nearby.”
