The room was super super tiny, no wardrobe or hair dryer. However we kind of figured it out before booking since the size info is listed anyway. Otherwise the room was clean, bed was comfortable and it was very conveniently located. There was coffee/tea available in the room as well as tv. It really was good enough for as for a few nights, we would probably stay here again. Receptionist was nice, easy online check in before arriving saved us some time:) Thank You

Staff were lovely on check in and check out. I liked the Whatsapp messaging to get the wifi password and iron/ironing board delivered to the room all without having to leave the room and go down to reception but the shower was freezing and when they came to the room to look, the chap clearly had no clue what to do as he just ran it as I had done and said he would get the plumber to attend 9am the next morning which by then I was already at client meetings. They had clearly just ran out of hot water because my neighbours shower was running for a good 40 mins..... I wasn't informed prior to the stay that the kitchen was closed and under construction so paid a fortune for breakfast in a brown paperbag which had I known about, I wouldnt have paid

Though the double room I had was small but it was very comfortable and well designed. I found the room like being in the warm cuddle of my mum. I slept very well. My only criticism is that there is no room service or restaurant. And it is a walk to find this. But I would stay there again.

Nice stay

I’ve stayed here before a while ago, however, when checking in, I had to produce a form of ID, I have no idea why and what they did with my ID when I handed it over. I just thought it was a little strange why I had to produce it when I had made the booking through Hotels.com. They made comment on where I lived, clearly checking my address, although I didn’t feel threatened and it was probably just friendly noticing I was from out of town, again was just strange having to hand ID over for proof of identity having never had to do that before. Hotel room was really nice and clean and modern, no issues with anything else.

Compact overnight stay at Kings Cross

After reading other reviews we were a bit concerned about our stay, and also the location. Nothing whatsoever to worry about. Location was fine, felt safe walking back at night. Bit of noise from outside during the night but it's central London so to be expected. Room was clean, comfortable and had all you need for an overnight stay when catching a train. Yes, it's very compact, especially the bathroom, but for location and price, no complaints at all. Staff also really friendly, helpful and welcoming, would definitely go back

Great for a short stay, great location in kingsX

Great for one night. We have a small double room which was small and good for 1 night, my 6ft tall boyfriend struggled with the small room but we only booked 2 days before and there were no bigger rooms available.

This room was the size of shoe box, hot and stuffy. The shower was so small my husband who is 6 foot couldn't get in. The view from the window was a dumpsite with rubbish piled high outside. I'd forgotten my ID to check in even though I had all the emails, and a bank card, the women on reception wasn't listening and kept saying I needed to go home to get my passport, we live 50 miles away.
