Lovely hotel near King's Cross Station

Well located hotel to King's Cross station, check in was smooth, luxury double room was very nice, great to see coffee machine in the room. Friendly staff, couldn't ask for any more.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We stayed in room G and arrived early to drop our bags off which was brilliant and they were put in our room. The room was a good size and clean, the double bed was a bit uncomfortable but the sofa bed was a lot better. It was a very warm room and was unable to find any way of turning the heating down, however, as it was late when we got back to the room we didn’t look too much in to it.
Ian, 1-night trip

1-night trip

6/10 Okay

A bit sub par

Not staffed after 5pm but the key codes worked (dodgey key box code entry didn't work at first). The place was not very clean. I guess reasonable value for the area. Kettle in the room was filthy, maybe the previous guest had boiled soup in it.
James, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The only thing that was good and easy was the check in. The room looks absolutely nothing like the pictures. When I got to the room, the window was wide open and was difficult to close. There was a slight smell of mould in the room. The bed linen was dirty and some of the furniture was already broken (the door handles on the wardrobe in the bathroom were missing and the drawers on the desk wouldn't stay closed).
Julia, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Good value Hotel.

Hotel was in a convenient location for our theatre trip which made life easy. The advance check in and accompanying instructions on gaining entry to the hotel outside of reception hours were very helpful, and once we'd manoeuvred around the enormous front door, all went well. The room was a good size with a good supply of tea and coffee, the only slight let down was one of the windows wouldn't close fully which meant the street noise was slightly invasive at times. Overall though it was a positive experience and i would stay there again with no hesitation.
Glyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Close to an early morning cafe at a nearby tropical medicine school, close to two or three second hand bookstores, one gay bookstore, and a few blocks away was a massive well stocked new book store.
Sean, 21-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Exactly as described
David, 1-night trip

Very good and clean for London standards
Sara, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Weekend stay for two

Good location. For london the room was a good size. On top floor which meant we could leave windows open as so hot. Place a little dated but clean. Nice to have fridge & tea marking facilities. Bed base ripped & in poor condition.
Michael, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room was extremely basic, which is fine for me when I'm down in London for work. But it had a terrible smell of drains, which seemed to be coming from the shower. The shower itself was little more than a dribble of water. Not somewhere I'd stay again
Peter, 1-night trip
