The hotel is conveniently located directly across the road from Kings Cross station, making it easy to access two major rail stations. The rooms, though a bit dated, are kept quite clean and offer a tiny but functional bathroom. The service at the reception desk was not the friendliest when I arrived early and wanted to leave my bags. The dining experience provided delicious freshly baked croissants but lacked bacon in the morning. However, the hotel offers wood-fired pizzas for a tasty option.

The hotel is conveniently located across the road from Kings Cross station, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms are suitable for families with kids but might feel a bit cramped for adults. The service at the reception desk was a bit rude when we tried to leave our bags after an early flight. However, the hotel offers a great spot, just steps away from numerous restaurants and close to major rail stations.

The hotel is conveniently located right across from Kings Cross station, making it a central hub for exploring London. The rooms were spacious but had some issues with facilities not working. The service at the reception desk was a bit rude when we wanted to leave our bags upon our early arrival. The dining experience offered delicious freshly baked croissants, but lacked some variety in choices. Overall, the hotel provides a great location but has room for improvement in service and room maintenance.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location was very convenient, being just across from King's Cross station, but there were a few aspects that could be improved. The room had a view of the train station which was interesting but had limited facilities. The service at the reception desk was average. Dining options were satisfactory but could use some enhancements.

The hotel is conveniently located near Kings Cross station with easy access to transportation. The rooms might be a bit tricky to reach with suitcases but offer a view of the train station. The service at the reception desk was disappointing, especially after a tiring flight. The dining experience could be improved with more varied options, but the freshly baked croissants were a nice touch. Overall, the hotel provides a decent stay for the price, but improvements in service are needed.

The hotel is conveniently located near King's Cross Station, making it easy to access transportation. The rooms offer breakfast, fresh sheets, and towels, but the bathrooms are a bit small. The service at the reception desk was lacking friendliness after a long flight. The dining experience could be improved by including bacon and offering a wider selection. Despite these drawbacks, the location is great for exploring the city center with various restaurants nearby.

The hotel is conveniently located directly across from Kings Cross station. The rooms, although situated in the attic space, made it a bit challenging to carry suitcases up, but those located a little further from the station had easier access. However, the rooms were in extremely bad condition. The service at the reception desk was somewhat rude when we asked to leave our bags after an early flight to do some exploring. Overall, the location is close to important train stations, but it's in an unsecure area. The dining experience was good with delicious freshly baked croissants, but it could have included bacon. The facilities were basic, lacking any standout features.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, though a bit dated, were surprisingly clean and well-maintained, but the service at the reception desk left much to be desired. The location was incredibly convenient for exploring the city, being a stone's throw from Kings Cross station, yet the dining options fell short in terms of variety. On the bright side, the freshly baked croissants for breakfast were a pleasant treat.

The service at the reception desk was rude when we wanted to leave our bags after an early flight for exploring.
