There was no tea making facility in the bedroom.i had to walk to the antry area.Meant I could not enjoy morning tea in bed as I had to get dressed. Provide a small kettle and tea bags along with the coffee maker, or make the coffee drinkers walk to the pantry.Even cheap hotels have tea making facilities.Pillows were too soft.

My second visit in a short space of time, and this was definitely the better of the two. While the rooms are generally pretty small they're clean and comfortable and it doesn't take long for this hotel to start to feel like an old friend. The soap dispensers remain maddening though.

Great location, comfy beds, great staff. We strangely were given a disabled room so our shower had no door so water got everywhere in the bathroom. That was a little strange. And there were several emergency cords in every room you had to be careful to avoid. But being at King’s cross it was super convenient and I would stay there again.

I enjoyed staying in the hotel. It is actually right next store to the domestic train station, so it was super convenient. And in front of the hotel and train station is a major area, where people sit and pass through. I most enjoyed just watching Londoners. London is so diverse. Impressive!

The rooms are on the small side (not unusual for big city hotels), but the room was lovely. It's a very short walk to Coal Drop Yards (with all the restaurants and shopping) and being next to a transport hub (St. Pancras/King's Cross) means that you can get almost anywhere quickly via Tube or trains of various sorts. Every staff member we interacted with was lovely -- helpful, courteous and charming. This was a wonderful (and wonderfully convenient) place to stay!

Great hotel if arriving at Kings Cross for a concert in Camden and a 1 night stay. Room was small but fancy. TV didn’t work as a TV which was annoying but did connect to Bluetooth device for some playlist tunes. English breakfast was tremendous in a posh restaurant setting. Apart from TV fault only thing can mark down is terrible Muzak in the bar and restaurant!

Check in perfect. Welcoming. Easy. We arrived early - and there was no issue in getting our room - or if we wanted to leave our luggage. Breakfast was right up there as well - the staff again - super attentive and couldn't do enough for you.

Remains a delight
Remains a firm favourite, perfect location for travelling by train and getting around London. The facilities are great and the staff very friendly and organised, really can’t have any complaints. We stayed the week before Christmas so could ´hear’ the sounds of the neighbourhood and parties a little more than usual if that is a factor for you but I would not trade the location for that.

No hot water on a Sunday morning when I needed to take a shower. Didn’t offer a refund but just a free breakfast. Also got the handicapped room. I would have preferred a regular one or been asked if I wanted a handicap room.

Not ideal for business or couples
The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and very well located next to the train station. However, the room was very small, too small for a couple with low ceilings. Whilst the description stated that it had a business center it did not. There was no room in the bedroom to work, and the lounge was not ideal as they had no proper space or tables. Not a suitable hotel for business people. They did had a coffee machine in the room which I love, but it didn’t work. They did not offer tea, and there was only two small milks so not enough for more than one drink. Strangely even though we were a couple they only had one biscuit seems a strange place to scrimp on. The soaps and shower gels etc were very good with a lovely smell. The bathroom had a fantastic shower. They offer beautiful bathrobes. I would recommend they look at the towels however as there wasn’t one I could use for my hair. The receptionists were young and inexperienced. They offered a basic level of service. Overall, for the price, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, especially for business.
