    It was difficult for my aging mother with disabilities to climb the stairs to our room, as there was no lift. She did make it up, and the staff was kind about helping us with luggage. But I wasn't expecting to be on the third floor with only stairs!

    Quirky hotel with a nice selection of whisk(e)ys and decent free light breakfast. Room was tiny but exactly what we needed and were expecting.

    Only downside was the boiler which would come on during the night with a humming then tapping noise, I didn't get much sleep, and wake up totally exhausted. We had rooms on different floors, but it was the same on both. The boiler needs fixing immediately.

    What a beautiful hotel. The interior was first class, with lots of extra unique designs. Staff are very helpful and the free tea and coffee in the lounge, an added bonus. .

    The shower and toilet is always a little cramped, but at least the water is always hot. I would not say that there is anything else that I did not like, as this is my usual "go to" hotel when staying in London.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. They now offer free bar snacks! As well as the usual tea and coffee. The balcony that accompanied with this room was also really good. Always good wifi too :)

    Our room was up some very tight/steep stairs. Not an issue if you are mobile, however may be difficult for some. Air conditioning in the room kept resetting to 25 degrees for some reason so was quite warm.

    Nicely decorated hotel. Great location 2 minute walk from Kings Cross Station. Our room had nice little outdoor area. Although we didn't use it, downstairs was a very nice looking bar area with plenty of room to sit.

    Our room was located in the basement, which was unexpected for a rate of 300€ pee night. In addition, because of some works nearby, there was intense noise from early in the morning, even on Saturday morning. That upset our sleep.

    The staff was super friendly 🙏

    Kettle had short wire on it so had to be plugged in on the bedside table. Also a lack of sockets.

    I liked the decor and the quietness even though it is a large hotel.

    Our room (5) was just under the restaurant so lots of steps above. Area was not the best with loads of junkies in the park in front. Breakfast was pretty poor and not very fresh.

    The size of the room was really good and the room was clean and nice.

    Our room was directly underneath the hall way and even though it was sound proofed very well in general, the footsteps (weight of walking) did come through and it could be a little unsettling during the night for some. It was a very pleasant stay nonetheless.

    The hotel is within minutes of walk from King’s Cross station, which was why we chose it in the first place. The atmosphere was cosy and the room was very clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. Tea and coffee was even offered on site when we check in/out. Shame we didn’t have time to sit down and enjoy a cuppa! Next time then ;-)

    Fine but for the freak problem over the lights

    Unfortunate incident when the lights all went out as we were going to bed. The man on reception tried his best to solve the problem and got one light going. Then, after he had gone we found we couldn’t switch that light off and had to sleep with it on as it was getting too late to wait for further efforts to sort the problem out. Mysteriously at some point during the night that light went out of its own accord but as a result I had to get up for my early train in the dark and in the gloom didn’t notice I had left my reading-specs behind so went off to Europe without them. I understand the problem was fixed promptly next morning after I had left.

    Potentially a pleasant stay and a useful base if using Eurostar.

    Location perfect for us and stepping into the hotel was like an oasis of calm away from the busyness and noise outside. Decoration was quirky and our room was spotless and the bed extremely comfortable.

    The only negative was where our room was located, which was in the basement underneath the bar/breakfast area. It was therefore noisy, we could hear people walking above and chairs scraping and not just during the day. It was a walk through so could hear people return in the early hours and the staff started getting ready for breakfast at around 5am! For that reason I wouldn't stay in that twin room again but i'm sure other rooms would be fine.

    We were 2 friends and had twin room. It was large and comfortable with chairs and table too. Beds were comfy and shower etc were good, had everything we needed. Quirky interior which I thought was fab. Ideal location, few mins walk from King's Cross Station.

    There was a cobweb on the bathroom's door.. otherwise the rest of the room was clean. The bed was smaller than anticipated and might be uncomfortable for people who prefer a lot of space when sleeping. Do note that there are no elevators and you might have to carry your bags up and down the stairs.

    The location was great, 5 minutes walking from King's cross station. Many restaurants in the area. The room was cozy and good for a short stay in London. The shower was good. The lighting distribution and control was good.
