Historical building near kings cross

The hotel is a beautiful historical building and got a great room the issue is because is a historical building there is no air Conditioning which for me is a problem they provided a fan and thanks god it Was not super Hot, the personnel was amazing helping but there is no elevator
Anna M, 2-night trip

Central location and safe

Excellent choice for a great location , but ask for a lower floor if you’re not too good with stairs

Marianne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely staff. Options for breakfast both of which were good, location was great.
Kathy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel is trying to price itself to look like it's at the quality end of the market, but it fails to deliver. A stuffy attic room with cheap, lumpy foam rubber filled pillows and no lift doesn't justify the price tag. So - no, it isn't "good enough."

Nice hotel (get the right room!)

Nice hotel, good size room, clean and tidy. Only issue is we had a room on the ground floor close to reception so very noisy particularly on a morning.
Hannah, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As a solo traveller I enjoyed a fabulous stay in one of the hotel’s single rooms. Comfortable, stylish and well equipped, I’d thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
Lucy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a great hotel option. Convenient and lovely. But heads up— there is no elevator. If you have big luggage, thick can be hard. Staff were amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!
Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was nice and clean. Sofa bed was not very comfortable for my children however. We had a room on the top floor which was up 3 flights of stairs, obviously without lifts this was very hard to get to with luggage as the last set of stairs was very steep and tight. Breakfast was a strange experience, firstly we had trouble finding the breakfast room located in the college over the road, secondly it felt like we were back at school and had to be quiet whilst we were eating which was difficult with 2 children and thirdly I don't think it was worth the amount we spent on breakfast to be honest. Location was not too bad although we were expecting it to be a bit closer to Euston.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel in a leafy quiet road

Very nice clean accomodation. Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Room was well appointed and clean. Would have been better if we could have worked out how do cast to the TV, instructions were given but it didn't work. Coffee machine seemed to be a bit temperamental. But small niggles, generally a very decent hotel. Best thing for us was the location, which was quiet, down a wide leafy street opposite a children's park. Lovely, quiet and safe. Ten mins walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras and ten mins from Russell Square and British Museum.
Rachel, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The experience was not great. The WiFi barely worked, cut out nonstop. Do not plan to work if you stay here and need internet. No elevator. Travel light, otherwise - may end up lugging a heavy suitcase up 4 flights or stairs. The 4th floor is quite warm and the fan sounded like a lawn mower.
