4/10 Fair

Not what you see

Does not look like what it does on the pictures. Meant to look boutique-esk. We esstentially had a box room. No water, no service, a bed squished up against the wall and bumping into everything.
Tilly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Poor value for money hotel

Disappointed by quality of room which was in the basement next to the street. Very small considering the price paid.
Antony, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fun family one night stay

Super wonderful staff who were friendly and amiable. A small issue with a non-working code was sorted swiftly and in a very professional manner. If you have a dodgy back or sort joints the mattresses might not do you any favours but the room was perfect for a family of 4 about to go on holiday
Naomi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very uncomfortable bed. I would have paid more for a premier inn just to have an AC and comfortable bed

Dirty

Welcome was friendly, room dirty, bathroom also dirty no toilet paper, bedroom window dangerous frame coming apart! Definitely in need of a good clean and refresh!
Beverley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to Kings Cross. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was small but very clean. It was great for one night but would not be great for a long stay as there was very little storage for clothes- no hangers , plus the mirrors were too high to look into so it was impossible for shaving, makeup, hair etc.
Janet, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Wouldn’t recommend.

The hotel does not look like the picture. It is run down. I was there with my daughter and did not feel safe at all. There was constant movement around the hotel and up the stairs. For a solo traveller needed somewhere to sleep: Probably okay! But for a family? No. The bed sheets weren’t secured on the bed and the mattress was dirty. The location is right near construction so it was not pleasant to walk around. The window opened wide and had no safety barriers. Very unnerving.
Shenel, 1-night trip

A quirky property with lovely hosts. Has a great nights sleep.

10/10 Exceptional

Nossa estadia foi ótima! Ficamos no quarto 47, o quarto era bem espaçoso, o banheiro muito bom com o chuveiro excelente. A localização do hotel é excelente, fica perto da estação de St Pancras, os funcionários são bem educados. Adoramos!

8/10 Very good

Good base right near to kings cross, the guys were really friendly. We found some other residents quite noisy but this is no fault of the hotel. Room had everything needed. Were able to leave bags on check out to pick up later, really helpful.

Buen hotel, es cómodo, se encuentra cerca de la estación de tren para llegar y para salir a conocer más lugares
Nair Alain, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I do not recommend. Mouldy, damp and unclean.

Start to finish, I turned up to the hotel and was asked a for a code I didn't receive and then he release I was a room with a key so didn't need a code. The key to the outside door was not working properly but I was told I just need to give it a few goes, in the end this key was not good enough. Once in the room I dropped of my stuff and had to head out. On my return I couldn't get through the door but another guest came and opened it with a code. Once back into he from I was about to have a proper look at the room. The walls had mould on, the corner and other areas had cobweb, the bin hadn't been emptied, there was a pair of knickers left in the room and the mattress had some plywood under as the frame was broken. I tried to call the hotel to change rooms as there was no one at reception but nobody answered the 3 times I tried. I managed to sleep. When I checked out I reported all this to the receptionist and they said they would look into it. I would not recommend this hotel as the price was the same as a premier inn which is always good quality and around the corner.

Good basic hotel near kings cross

Good stay, they could do with some coat hooks in the room or some hanging space! Had all the basic amenities covered, and were very helpful when required.
Melissa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Practical all you need

Great location! I love the self check in and check out. We could also leave our luggage the next day as we had a late train leaving london. The room was very practical for everything you need and in a great location! Would I stay again - yes!

Disappointed

This was a disappointing hotel as I thought the Roxy chain are high end in other city’s! The bed was only just better than a camp bed, the shower had mould, and I was not making a coffee after looking at the kettle! I stopped at a hotel the other side of the park for the same money and would stop at that one instead!

Will see you again soon

Thank you to all the staff!!! Isaac and I had a wonderful, safe, comfortable stay. You made us feel like family:)
roberta, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were travelling to Brussels from St Pancras Station, needed a place for just one night, coz the train was early in the morning, hotel is just 5 minutes walking distance, very convenient, would recommend for very short stay.
GIGIN BABU ALOO, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Only stayed for 1 night and it was due to its proximity to the Eurostar which was fantastic, the bad points were to some extent not the hotels fault. It was a fairly warm night, high 20’s and couldn’t have the windows open due to the surrounding areas just being so nosy it was almost non stop sirens from the surrounding sreas and just general noise from the outside so had to shut the window to reduce the noise (not completely remove it) having the window shut made the room even hotter as there is zero airflow or anything to cool down the room, there was also loud banging from other guests every time a door was opened/closed and etc. I think if you do say here take some ear plugs and maybe only book for the colder months of the year. The staff were polite and efficient, the location is a short walk from the station, the facility’s were dated and not In the best condition but the real reason I wouldn’t stay again is the complete lack of sleep that was had from the noise and heat.

Sali, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location.

Good location. Check in quick and easy and allowed us to check in early as rooms ready when we dropped bags off. Rooms small but ok as only slept in room. Our only issues were heating on all night which we couldn’t control so very warm and window wouldn’t open properly. Water pressure in shower also poor. Ok for our one night stay.
Carole, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff, service and kindness shown was refreshing. I will be booking again and look forward to the updated rooms, the sister hotel is lovely also.
Kate, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good stay! Room was super tiny, but we were only stopping through for a night, and it was super close to the train station, which is what we were aiming for. Staff made check-in and check-out super simple.
