Overall a nice looking hotel but the room was small for 3. We ate in the hotel and had fish and chips what was very expensive and very poor quality. We couldn`t turn the heating off in our room and was extremely hot all night. Windows didn`t open. Breakfast was help yourself and I had eggs and beans. The fried eggs were cold.

Good - although your website at Hoteldirect.co.uk was misleamisleading, the price quoted on the headline page was with breakfast but when we clicked through breakfast was extra.Location of hotel is a bit tricky if you have limited mobility as it is a ling walk fro all stations, however buses are frequent along King`s Cross road. Hotel very clean and staff friendly

Location was excellent. Short walk from King`s Cross and a quiet residential feel to the area. The restaurant/bar food offering is limited and would recommend dining elsewhere.

"Nice Hotel and Great Location"

Stayed here for two nights in July. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. It was quite warm although there was a fan available. The hotel is a ten minute walk from Kings Cross station which means you can easy explore the sights. We also walked into Leicester Square which allowed us time to soak up the sights and explore the British Museum. Overall, a great place to stay.

"No bedding for our sons bed when we arrived"

Poor customer service. When we arrived we there was no bedding for our sons bed, this was a sofa bed. We called down to reception to ask about this and they said they would send room service straight away. (No Apology) when room service eventually arrived, we opened the door and they gave us a handful of bedding and a bottle of water, still no Apology. We made the bed to find out there was a single dovay in a double dovay cover and no pillows.
