Useful location

This hotel is conveniently located by Kings Cross station, and the communal areas are quite stylish. The rooms was comfortable but a little bit tired. Despite being near a very busy part of the city, the noise was minimal.

Great location. Room had everything you needed, it was a basement room so couldn’t open any windows.

It’s a secret!

Always stay here if we can when on a short London trip. So convenient and staff are lovely. Don’t want to publicise it too much otherwise it’ll get too popular 😂

8/10 Very good

Very friendly staff that let us store our baggage before check in. Our room was very tight for a family of four but it was surprising to get air con, so that made up for it. Not the fanciest but adequate for a

Very easy walking distance from St Pancras which is what we wanted when arriving after 10pm. Nice room for what we needed

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely room, everything was spotless, possibly just been refurbished. I had a wet room, towel a bit on the small side but manageable. New kettle, no biscuits 😔 A LOT of stairs!

One night

It’s the perfect stay for St Pancras international!
Josette, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean. Smaller than a hotel pod. Stairs going everywhere. No air con but I did have a window that cranked open. No elevator. Advertised breakfast not at their hotel. It’s at a “sister”hotel. Overall too expensive for the size but it was convenient to king’s crossing transportation.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely caring staff. So handy to St Pancras International.
Brian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel okay for 1 night. Building works across the road affecting our sleep. Bathroom very small. Hotel breakfast is in a different hotel along the road, so we had to adjust our timings to accomodate. This wasn't mentioned on hotel info. Breakfast was good though.

Staff are great, Emma goes above and beyond to help you(even with all the Mad Geordies taking over London for Football)Great location comfy beds. Absolutely no problems. Already looking too book for next trip.

Good stay next to St. Pancras, Kings Crossing

The staff was so helpful and kind. We were exhausted after our long flight and they helped us get baggage downstairs, reserved dinner seats for us, and were over all just great. The accommodations are pretty basic but clean and well located if you need to leave from St. Pancras-literally up two buildings and across the road.
Heather, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Fine for one-night stay and access to train

This was fine for our one-night stay to catch a train to Edinburgh from Kings Cross Station. The room: small, on an upper floor, which made it quieter (but the luggage schlep was not so fun). The bathroom: en-suite, but down some awkwardly placed steps. It was clean, the staff were kind and helpful. Nothing extra special but nothing bad either.

Perfect for Kings X

nicely laid out reception. Spacious room with comfortable bed. Excellent location for Kings X access. Would use again without hesitation.Stayed at several Kings X area hotels and this is one of the better ones.
