I would not recommend. The room was tiny and not suitable as a hotel room. Bed was pushed against the wall and we had to struggle in and out. The bathroom was tiny. There were no usb outlets, no kettle, no tea- just coffee. We requested iron and it took ages and once it arrived we struggled as it took up half the space . I was shocked given what we paid. Stay at the Y.

Honestly the room and the everyone there were so friendly. Also so apologetic when one of the rooms was not ready for a while. There was a little incident with a man slumped at the lift area but apart from that it was a wonderful hotel. Would stay again

Everything was good overall. Decided to have breakfast there. When I said the toast was burnt, the waiter agreed and I heard him telling someone else, but no one offered me another choice. Seems a shame not to include unlimited coffee in the breakfast price but charge for extra cups.

Excellent site at Kings Cross with several U-lines and train stations. Friendly staff, very clean rooms. But avoid floor 5: small windows & low water pressure

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were amazing but the room is not 5*, more like a 3* hotel. Bathroom is aged and not clean. Many visible discoloration on tile joins and stains on walls of room. If this was a 3* hotel I wouldn't have cared but having stayed in real 5* hotels this hotel is 3* at best but they charge 5* prices. The only advantage of this hotel is it's proximity to underground and kings cross station.

Five star hotel prices for a 2/3 star room. There is no reception area to speak of, service was ok, but not what you would expect for the price, but the overall feeling was vey deflated at the room which was tiny - only as wide as the bed which was beside the wall, so only one side of the bed was useable - not worth GBP400

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.
