Very warm and welcoming stafr from front desk to Isla breakfast room and bar. Hotel is superbly located for Kings X and St Pancras, and despite this, the rooms are quiet and peaceful. Beds are huge and very comfortable.
Jon Justin, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Only one teabag and one coffee sachet in the room. Requested additional items from “room service”. These never arrived. Selling certain “products”in the rooms and then asking for a service charge upon check out seems to take priority over actually providing the basics
Nathan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Service at the front desk and door was good. Bed and room is on the smaller size, didn't feel like a true king size bed and more of a small queen. Room was quiet and was overall good, would say it's more of a four star room than a five star room. Found a small food/blood stain on one of the pillows at night, so moved it to the side. For elderly or people with mobility issues, the bed in this room is quite low and the front doors are on the heavier side.
Ramin, 1-night trip
