On arrival. There was no one on reception. Waited about 3 minutes and someone came to greet us. We had arrived 1 hour before check in. I asked reception if the room was ready. They said it was and if I wanted to go in early, then they would charge me £10. I declined and asked if I could leave my cases somewhere safe so I could go out and have a walk round. They said I could leave it in the hallway with the other cases lined up. I declined this because they had been left unattended when I arrived. Someone could have easily walked in off the street and taken a case. We decided to wait the hour until we could get into the room. Whilst we were waiting, my husband asked if there was a toilet he could use, they said there wasn’t only the one in our room which we could not get in until 3pm. The bedroom was the smallest double bedroom I have ever stayed in! The double bed was pushed up against the wall and the length of the room was the size of the bed! When opening the door to enter the room, it caught the corner of the bed. Once in the room, there was not enough space for 2 people to stand up and open the case. We had to store the cases under the bed. The bathroom was very small. When using the toilet, your legs were under the hand basin. The only 2 things I would say which are positive is that the bed was comfortable and the small shower was powerful.
The double room which is £200 for the night!
Small bathroom. Could hardly move.
I think this is shocking! I certainly would need more than a cup of coffee for a 5 star rating! What an insult!

The people at the front desk were nice and friendly. The room was clean but small. I wasn't able to sleep well for a few nights due to the noises outside the hotel. The housekeeping service needs to do a better job in providing amenities because a facial towel and a shower floor mat were not given to us after the cleaned our room for the second time during our stay.

Very small room. But it was clean and comfortable. We did hear door slamming in the hallway occasionally. Would suggest a spring loaded door stopper. Room was booked for 2 nights. Our flight from home cancelled due to faulty machinery. We were unable to make connections to UK as originally scheduled. I did pay extra for cancellation insurance. However, they will not honor it up to 2 days before checkin. We were able to contact them thru Expedia to hold room booked for 2nd night. We lost money on first nights room. Wish proof of flight cancellation would be enough to refund 1st night. Nice staff and place to stay at King's Cross. But they need to review their cancellation policy.
