Excellent Location and Thoughtful Touches

table service high quality quiet room room upgrade

I liked the table service breakfast. The quality seemed high. I saw fresh orange juice made using chilled oranges. The room was lovely. It was very quiet even though it is next to the station. The team helped with a late check out and a room upgrade. The price seemed good considering the quality.

The reception staff were not friendly. It took a long time to get an invoice processed.

The hotel is steps away from Kings Cross Station making train travel easy. Plenty of shops and food options are available nearby providing convenience. Navigating throughout the city is simple due to the proximity to the tube.

excellent location quiet room helpful staff

The location is excellent and very convenient for transportation. I appreciated the quietness of my room on a high floor. The hotel provided easy access to King's Cross for my train to Edinburgh. Staff stored my bags and gave useful recommendations.

The housekeeper entered my room unexpectedly. This occurred in the late evening while I was in the bathroom, quite unsettling.

Fantastic Stay Near King's Cross!

perfect location hallway pantry great feature

The location is perfect! I arrived and departed by train. It's so close to the train station and underground. I used the pantry at the end of the hallway. It's a great feature with tea, coffee, fruit, and cakes.

The power points were in awkward spots. It was hard to charge devices.
