Great hotel

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is lovely, clean and in a fantastic location. I was surprised how quiet my room was given its proximity to Kings Cross Station. It was so quiet! Best hotel shower I’ve ever experienced. Small (as I was expecting) but perfectly formed room, well designed. I appreciated the little touches like a note reminding me that the clocks were changing overnight and the pantry at the end of the hallway with complimentary little cakes and different teas. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

Excellent London Stay

This was a perfect choice! Great location, in an area with a great vibe. Room was small but beautifully presented, which was no problem. Breakfast choices were excellent and dining options nearby are plentiful. Close to a number of mainline and underground stations, so suitable for all travellers. Highly recommended

Good location

We've tried a few hotels around King's Cross and this is not one we will be going back to. Room very small, very small bathroom. Bed very hard - I had to ask for a spare duvet to sleep on. Staff were nice but basically not worth it.

A little over priced

Unfortunately was allocated an accessible room so the bathroom wasn’t great. Bedroom comfortable if a little small. They tend to lock the doors late so booking in if you’re arriving late does require a bit of window knocking to attract the attention of staff. Generally a comfortable stay but I’d have expected a little more considering the price

The hotel is incredibly convenient located to two major overground stations and the underground network. It’s a very positive as a whole. The only drawback is the doors throughout the hotel are extremely heavy. They bang throughout the night as people travel through corridors and enter rooms. This is sleep disrupting for light sleepers

Highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely room on the top floor of the hotel with a great view of the clock tower at St Pancras station. Characterful, excellent and spacious both in room and bathroom with a lovely large shower….pressure wasn’t powerful but adequate for someone with long hair☺️ Bed was very comfy with lovely squishy pillows. Staff were friendly and helpful. My husband and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again even if we weren’t travelling on Eurostar the next day……which is literally just across the road. One of the best hotels we’ve stayed in in London☺️
