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

Room wasn’t ready in check in and there was an electrical issue affecting the room which meant none of the plug sockets worked. Over priced for actual facilities. Paying for location.

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☺️

The reception staff were unfriendly and inexperienced, no manager on duty to resolve an issue with the room provided. Requested an upgrade and 2 separate staff gave complete different costs. The room given was effectively a single room and not acceptable as a double.

Charged Three Times for One Night Stay

I paid for my stay (£415 for one night) *in advance* but at 2:15am during the night of my stay my banking app woke me with an alert to say the hotel had charged me £306.50. I barely slept until 6:45am when I went to question it at reception. I was told that the hotel ran an audit process during the night and that had somehow triggered the charge. I was assured that it would be cancelled. Then, at around 11:30am I got another alert on my banking app telling me they had taken a further £356.50. I was on a course at the British Library and had to leave at lunchtime (when I wanted to be speaking to the other delegates) to go back to the hotel to alert them to the fact I now had over SEVEN HUNDRED pounds pending on my back account (including the initial card deposit of £50). I felt that the staff offered no sympathy or contrition. It's now 11:40am on the following day and I still have over £700 pending in my bank account. I'm really worried because I can't afford that to leave my account. It completely ruined my stay and impacted on my ability to enjoy and concentrate during the course I was attending.
