Positives: Fantastic location in central london - super close to Kings Cross and St Pancras. We really liked the privacy of the room (which wasn’t loverlooked and looked out over a public park). There was also a little pub 2 mins around the corner that we went to 3 times during our trip - McGlynn’s Free House, and of course there are tonnes of bars and restaurants around Kings Cross.
The staff were all friendly, on hand 24/7 and helpful. We even left our bags in the lobby while we went out after check out and waited for our afternoon train.
Negatives: For the price there were a lot of things that we feel could be improved and a lot of things in the room needed to be fixed.
The bedside lamp in the room didn’t work, there were multiple bulbs missing from ceiling lights, the shower was broken and towel rail leaking rust. Everything seemed to be a little bit worn out and broken. I would have also benefitted from a full length mirror. There was no air con but a fan was provided - although during the heatwave this didn’t provide much comfort as the room was very warm despite leaving blinds shut. There were also no cleaning products in the room (ie toilet bleach etc) which would have been handy, and there was a strong drain smell from the bathroom.
I’d definitely stay again if the place had a bit of TLC and a slight facelift.
