10/10 Exceptional

All good. Comfortable, clean room.
Sandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Will be back

So convenient, excellent service, great view, very quiet which I was concerned about because of busy location.
Lori, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Rock hard beds with dips in the mattress

Beautiful room with great views but the moment we got into bed it was clear the mattress was way past its best. Unfortunately it was rock hard and a dip in the centre meant we constantly rolled into it. I told staff at the front desk who said someone would email me but they didn’t. The shower gel pump was broken as well

8/10 Very good

Extremely convenient location

Extremely convenient location, right beside King's Cross and St. Pancras Station. The room is small but clean. Service is nice.

Very well located, pleasant rooms, good restaurant for breakfast and dinner
Ariane, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Honestly the room and the everyone there were so friendly. Also so apologetic when one of the rooms was not ready for a while. There was a little incident with a man slumped at the lift area but apart from that it was a wonderful hotel. Would stay again
Perdita, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent site at Kings Cross with several U-lines and train stations. Friendly staff, very clean rooms. But avoid floor 5: small windows & low water pressure
Georg, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Handy to the Eurostar train station.

8/10 Very good

Perfect location for Eurostar

Perfect location for Eurostar, staff very friendly and hotel very clean but small rooms for the price.
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was good overall. Decided to have breakfast there. When I said the toast was burnt, the waiter agreed and I heard him telling someone else, but no one offered me another choice. Seems a shame not to include unlimited coffee in the breakfast price but charge for extra cups.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice room for the night as booked. Location couldn't be better next to King's Cross station for our train the next date. Room was pin quiet and modern retaining some more original characteristics as well.

Across from Kings Cross station. Early check in granted !!! After a 12 hour journey it was a welcome bed . Huge tub.

1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I would not recommend. The room was tiny and not suitable as a hotel room. Bed was pushed against the wall and we had to struggle in and out. The bathroom was tiny. There were no usb outlets, no kettle, no tea- just coffee. We requested iron and it took ages and once it arrived we struggled as it took up half the space . I was shocked given what we paid. Stay at the Y.
Rhema, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were amazing but the room is not 5*, more like a 3* hotel. Bathroom is aged and not clean. Many visible discoloration on tile joins and stains on walls of room. If this was a 3* hotel I wouldn't have cared but having stayed in real 5* hotels this hotel is 3* at best but they charge 5* prices. The only advantage of this hotel is it's proximity to underground and kings cross station.
Jason, 3-night trip

The staff was very friendly and clean property, I would recommend staying here.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is lovely, clean and in a fantastic location. I was surprised how quiet my room was given its proximity to Kings Cross Station. It was so quiet! Best hotel shower I’ve ever experienced. Small (as I was expecting) but perfectly formed room, well designed. I appreciated the little touches like a note reminding me that the clocks were changing overnight and the pantry at the end of the hallway with complimentary little cakes and different teas. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Five star hotel prices for a 2/3 star room. There is no reception area to speak of, service was ok, but not what you would expect for the price, but the overall feeling was vey deflated at the room which was tiny - only as wide as the bed which was beside the wall, so only one side of the bed was useable - not worth GBP400
