Overall the stay was fine. However, upon check in I didn't feel very welcomed. Maybe the check in staff had had a rough day? They filled my request of a ground floor room so I didn't have to lug my suitcase up stairs. The room itself was fine however very small. It was hard to open my suitcase. Positive note- the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I had on my travels. One small thing to note for travellers - the step into the hotel itself is reasonably high from the footpath. Especially with a heavy large suitcase.

Friendly and efficient check-in. We had a "small double" room which matched the description. We could get round both sides of the bed. The layout was compact but it had all that was required and comfortable. Close to St Pancras station which was good for us.

Location is excellent from Kings Cross station, however the hotel itself is poor. The toilet donwstairs was filthy, the carpets nit very clean either. The staff was not too friendly and did not give us instructions how to reach the room. Please note that the hotel does not have a lift and had multiple stairs so make sure you ask where about you are located as we have been given very poor instructions. The room was small and bathroom not very clean and smelly. I think for what was given, it was an expensive accomodation and doesn't reflect the rating on Hotels.com

Good location & typical London hotel

We had a family break over a weekend. The hotel was very expensive for what it was, but that’s London i guess. The location is perfect for Kings X station. Literally a few minutes away. Reception were brilliant at check in. Professional, easy and quick. The room was fine. Nothing special, but comfortable. The heating had been left on and it was ridiculously hot, but easy enough to fix. Basic, clean with a TV and a comfy bed. Shower was good as well. We don’t pay the extra for breakfast as prefer to eat out for that sort of price and went to half cup, a few minutes walk away and was very good. I probably wouldn’t stay again at that price, but apart from that - very adequate.

The location was very convenient and the staff were friendly, but there were a few concerns during our stay. First, the heater in the room didn't work at all, so it was cold at night in London in March, when it was a bit chilly. According to the hotel, all the rooms are configured differently, so we were given a room that was completely different from the one we saw when booking on the website. (I needed a WritingDesk to use my laptop for work, but there was none in our room.)

The hotel was close to the station which is why we chose this one. It was clean and accommodating. We were just surprised that there were no elevator and we had to carry our luggage to the second floor on a narrow and winding staircase (although it seems like narrow winding staircases are common in Europe.
