The hotel is a bit of a walk from tube stations. Front desk at check in was good but after that little service. For example when asking for water and more coffee, they didn’t send it. No amenities in the room. Won’t be staying again

Beautiful hotel, rubbish beds!

Customer service, cleanliness was good, both are important. But the beds were the most uncomfortable I’ve slept on. Do not recommend just based on how terrible we felt afterwards.

Great two-night stay for business

Very pleasant stay for a couple of nights on business. Staff were friendly and helpful (I managed to check in very early, which I was very grateful for!), the room was well maintained, and the WiFi was great both in the room and in the restaurant/lounge/bar area. I didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment, but the fish and chips was very nice and service was quick. It’s further from Kings Cross station than I expected (about a 15-20 minute walk), but that’s my own fault for not double checking the map! It was an easy taxi ride with my cases. All in all, a very pleasant stay that I’d be happy to recommend.

The location was good, a bit further out than I expected but still walkable. The staff were friendly and polite and the room was clean. The bad parts, the bed was creaky and loud. The room was really hot and you couldn’t turn the heating down or open a window which made it a little uncomfortable. Overall, my stay was fine as I wasn’t in the room all day and night.

NOT GREAT FOR FAMILIES

The room we were allocated as a family of 3 was quiet cramped once the sofa bed was spread out. The room was very hot despite the AC being at the lowest temp setting. The bath did not drain with the push plug in so had to remove. Both the shower heads were very weak in power and there was evidence of mold in the bath seal. The sink was also cracked
