4/10 Fair

Beautiful hotel, rubbish beds!

Customer service, cleanliness was good, both are important. But the beds were the most uncomfortable I’ve slept on. Do not recommend just based on how terrible we felt afterwards.

Peter, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was very happy with this property.
Betsy, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel itself was good, friendly staff, nice room and breakfast, the parking situation on the other hand was absolutely awful. I was picking up a rental car from St. Pancras station and asked the front desk if it was okay to park out front while we retrieved our bags from the room. I was told it was okay for the first 20 minutes or so, there was no mention of entering the license plate number in a kiosk. Upon returning home to the US I received notice from the rental car company that they had paid the parking ticket issued for parking at the hotel, cost me $175 with admin fees. We stayed here 3 nights in the same week, with this parking issue and hotel failing to 'find' the clothing items I inadvertently left behind on our first stay I'm pretty sure we won't be staying here again. It all just seems a little shady to me. Shame really as it's a decent hotel.
Eve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great two-night stay for business

Very pleasant stay for a couple of nights on business. Staff were friendly and helpful (I managed to check in very early, which I was very grateful for!), the room was well maintained, and the WiFi was great both in the room and in the restaurant/lounge/bar area. I didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment, but the fish and chips was very nice and service was quick. It’s further from Kings Cross station than I expected (about a 15-20 minute walk), but that’s my own fault for not double checking the map! It was an easy taxi ride with my cases. All in all, a very pleasant stay that I’d be happy to recommend.
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great short break

It was a great base for a couple of days in London for the theatre. Comfy beds, good pillows, nice shower and a good choice, hot and replenished often at breakfast. There was a bit of a queue to get in to breakfast in the morning but nothing too dramatic. The only thing I would say is we only got 3 towels in the room even though there were 4 of us which I thought was a bit odd, I’m sure it would not have been too much trouble if we requested another but we managed with 3 ok.. just maybe request more if needed. The hotel is about 15 mins walk to the nearest tube either Russell Square or King’s Cross so bear in mind if you have little ones that get tired legs.
