The room was great. Spacious still for 4 people. Only stayed for one night.. but it was in walking distance to tube stations.. great area for cafes and bars. The main bonus was it was away from the tourist trail!

We stayed three nights, Upon check in we were informed the wifi was down, and were working on it. During the whole of our stay the WiFi was out of use. Breakfasts we’re very busy with seating overflowing into to bar area, was a little unsafe having to carry hot drinks passing people whilst they waited to be seated. Overall pleasant stay, rooms clean ideal location close to Kings cross.

We had to switch rooms due to lack of cleaned room. Even the replaced rooms were stained and had poor cleanliness. They were also very small rooms, even for central London. I would not stay here again

Excellent stay

Check in was super quick and Thanveer supported a newer member of staff to get us quickly checked in. He was very attentive and advised we had been give a free upgrade on our rooms the top floor. Breakfast had been included. The room was comfortable and spacious. After an hour of being in the room we received a knock at the door. A lovely lady deliver balloons and a bottle of prosecco off with a nice anniversary message. Food for evening meal amd breakfast was lovely, fresh and well prepared. 20 mons nice walk from Kings Cross, but if you have luggage get a taxi.

Air conditioning in bedroom didn't work properly so it was extremely hot at night time. In the gym it was non-existent so it was like working out in a sauna! Premium double room was advertised as sleeping 4 people but it was such a squeeze we were forced to get a second room.
