Everything was just as it always is very clean very efficient very welcoming which is very important. The reception staff helped me a couple of times for which I was very appreciative. Enjoy the food in the restaurant and a lovely glass of wine with very glad to see you had white Zinfandel from California. I have sent an email about the dreadful experience I had with the minicab driver that you arranged for me I think it was with comfort cabs. You might be worried of letting anybody else go with that company and maybe find a different one. I was really quite afraid in the back of that cab.

Great location

Room was small but had everything we needed just for 1 night. We had a fan which was a godsend as there is no aircon. Breakfast very tasty and plenty of choices. Great location for anyone using Kings Cross and St Pancras International stations.

If you are a single traveller, and/or planning get the chipset room, be aware: the hotel itself looks, and most likely should be nice, breakfast area, lobby are really nice. There are many hotel employees... the top, 7th floor has one and only elevator with cheapest rooms possible. Minimum space for belongings, slim restroom, twin bed, TV, no a/c, but old fashion fan. Poor metal frame window. If you will sleep with open window, this hotel to any direction will have traffic noise! If you would need take breakfast due early morning checkout, better not. I wasn't able to eat it
