Our stay was perfect as always (I have stayed here previously and location is great also)staff friendly and helpful, room was spotless and very good price also
The hotel had working air conditioning which was a life saver during the heatwave! Hotel staff was very helpful and available 24/7. Convenient location near train station and bus stops.
August 2026 and the world was on fire🔥 but at least the air-con in this place worked wonders. Such a comfortable night! More than survived, we thrived to melt another day...
Walking distance to Kings Cross station, so you have access to all trains heading around central London. Travelling solo? This is the perfect spot for you. Staff was friendly and helpful. Everything you need (food, massage, entertainment) is in walking distance.
Staff member in reception was great. Very friendly and always happy to help
Room was compact - but clean and comfortable and great location with bars and restaurants close by and short walk to Kings Cross station and Tube! Perfect for city break when you don’t intend on staying in hotel much
The property was air conditioned ! when mine did not work well the staff promptly rectified the situation. Well maintained and great, very great fron end person. Give them a raise as I would stay their again.
Nice welcome on arrival and helped carry bags. Room detailed as 'Superior' double which left a little room for imagination due to it being quite small but was clean, decent bed, air conditioning and was at the back of the hotel so no road noise. Overall, great if you want to be very close to Kings Cross/St Pancras stations as we did. Price was very competitive so would definitely use again due to location and overall hotel standard.
Clean room
Helpful friendly staff
Cooling was good & not responsive to lower cool
No breakfast offered
The shower needs instructions - how to use two different shower heads
Very clean room, good area close to King’s Cross/St Pancras station, reception staff were brilliant.
Room was booked as a small double so I knew what I was expecting but still rather small with the bed pushed against the wall which isn’t ideal for when it is 2 people sharing but grand for 1 or 2 nights!
Only down side was that the luggage storage was just leaving your bags/suitcases in the reception, where I believe it would benefit from a locker system for peace of mind.
Overall would definitely stay again.
We stayed in the hotel for one night as we had a flight to catch the following day. The staff were very friendly and made us feel really welcome and although the room was small it was very clean and very comfortable. The room didn't need to be any bigger for our needs. The hotel was also in a great location very close to Kings Cross station and near some lovely bars and restaurants. My wife and I wiukd definitely stay in this hotel again.
