Great stay! Lovely clean room in a great area right across from Kings cross station. The one thing to look out for is that our room was on the top floor and had 4 flights of stairs with no lift, no problem for us but could be an issue for others

Good value next to Kings X

Great location next to Kings X. Clean rooms and well appointed for a couple of nights stay. Communication could have been better. We were given one room in confirmation the day before which was moved to another the day of.

Super convenient location. Apartment was as described. I stayed in apartment 6 on the 3rd floor, note the stairs are narrow and quite steep and there is no lift. Couple of things that would have turned this from good to excellent 1. Install a full length mirror in the room - a must! 2. Frosted glass in the bathroom, even with the blind, it felt quite exposing to have pretty much a full length window in the actual shower. 3. Invest in a decent fan - it wasn't too hot when I stayed, but the room got quite warm and the fan frankly didn't cut it on cooling the room down

I don’t think it looked quite like the pictures but it was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. Slightly smaller than expected but clean and convenient.

The host was very helpful and extended my check out as my daughter was poorly. Beautiful accomodation and close to the centre and train station. It was noisy when I stayed but only as there’s works being carried out next door. Will definitely be staying again.

We liked the room size; shower and bed. The TV in room 6 didn’t get BBC1. The steps to the rooms are very steep and not great if you have lots of luggage. Also the lack of a wardrobe is an issue if you’re staying for a few days.

Very misleading photos.

Good location but overall very small, crazy steps and absolutely no human interaction during the stay by staff. No AC, appropriate linens, paper towels and cooking hot plate. Wouldn't recommend staying in such a small space for this expensive price. No balcony.

False advertising, poor customer service

Booked accommodation Cityspace King's Cross for 24th to 26th May, was advised by email on 22nd that the apartment I had booked would not be available due to overrunning maintenance work, I was offered full refund or an exchange to their sister property in Leicester Square with a 20% discount. As I had a concert (non refundable at short notice) and travel costs (also non refundable at short notice) I accepted the swap in good faith. On arrival to the Leicester Square property, I was able to gain access to the property with access code however despite 3 attempts I was unable to access the room, I contacted the helpline and they remotely operated the door, I was still unable to operate it despite confirming with the helpline that I had the correct code. On entering the room, I was very disappointed to say the least, whereas King's Cross was an apartment this was a single room with everything crammed in. The photos on the website show the room when it was first appointed however I fear that may have been some years ago, marks on walls where furniture had been rubbing, wood trim removed from walls leaving unsightly gaps. The room was grubby to say the least, there was no cover on the ironing board, the bed was crammed into an alcove. I am not sure when the room had last been made up, there was a half empty bag of ice in the freezer, surely this should have been disposed of. I went out to the patio and all I could hear was the sound of air-conditioning units and the smell

Great property in a good location, it uses an app/website to access the building and property which is a bit clunky but seems to be a standard thing.

No hot water in the shower, broken toilet seat. Property states they have baggage hold - we could not access the building until 3 - so we wasted 4 hours sitting in the tube station until we could get in our room. Phone in lobby says to dial 101 with issues - it doesn’t work, you get an error message. The signage for the building is so small - we walked by here 3x before we found it.

The location is absolutely amazing, 2 minutes and you're at KX and only a few minutes walk to Coal Drops Yard, which is well worth a visit. Accommodation was fine, the toilet seat wasnt attached but ok apart from that. The major issue is getting into the building, the vikey app wouldnt work at all we spent close to an hour over the couple of days we stayed trying to get into the building. The lock on the front door just didnt work, we only managed to get in due to others leaving the building. They explained theyd had similar issues (i have no idea how anyone actually got in efficiently). The bar underneath is extremely loud, so be prepared for a lot of noise during the night
