    The only reason I gave a 8/10 was because of the hairdryer experience. We stayed in toom 11. There was no wire backing on the hairdryer my hair got up in it and wrapped around on the inside. My hair had to be cut to get out of it.

    The room key had to be activated thrice before we could enter the room. And that meant I had to run up and down thrice (no lifts) to the top floor. Only then did the night receptionist follow me to get the room key sorted out. The room is very small.

    Prime location. Room is well maintained and clean. Shower is small but good, warm, powerful pressure.

    Air con hadn’t worked which had made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. Went down to speak with a member of staff who was friendly late on. Messed around with some dials to get the air con working which it unfortunately didn’t until the morning. Not sure why it wouldn’t be consistent / able to be on all the time? Fix that and was pretty spot on!

    Really clean and great facilities. Location was excellent. Shower lovely too. Bed really comfortable!

    Sadly no lift and we were on the third floor 47 narrow steep steps, not a hotel for anyone with mobility issues fortunately our luggage was brought up for us. The air conditioner unit was very noisy and kept me awake and you can’t turn it off.

    Very convenient for Kings Cross and St Pancras Station. The rooms were comfortable, clean and the staff very helpful. The breakfast was continental in style but nice and the two Coeliacs in our party were very well catered for. We liked the fact that without prompting they advised what they could eat and were offered gluten free bread which they would toast in the oven if requested. We felt this showed a good knowledge of cross contamination which occurs when using a toaster.

    The room we received was in the basement on the street side. It was beyond noisy. When I say we heard everything, we really did hear everything and not just from outside... you'd think the walls were made of paper. If your a heavy sleeper that doesnt have a problem falling asleep i think your fine, if not id look somewhere else. They could really do with some soundproofing. Our first night we were in the bathroom and because of the noise I'm not quite sure if this happened in our room or someone was playing a prank on their friend but we heard a knock, a door open someone say housekeeping (around 11pm) and whatever door it was closed before we were able to cover up at check if it was ours. It genuinely sounded like ours but bc the bathroom door was closed and the noise were genuinely not sure. I did mention it to staff who were genuinely concerned but I'm not sure what happened there. There is no sign to tell housekeeping not to come in and when housekeeping did come in the next day things were moved that didn't need to be. My toiletries were moved, slippers, etc nothing was taken but prior to housekeeping entering these items were not in the way. The stairs to the basement did not have a handrail. And the window in our bedroom could not be opened due to the view it would give passers by which made our room incredibly dark. The lighting in the room was cool just not enough. When we returned for our luggage the final day the lock code on my suitcase lock had been changed. Again nothing was taken we were able to get it open after 30 minutes of slowly going through every single code but it was just strange. If you know you won't have data upon arrival I would not recommend this hotel, I am familiar with london and actually had a difficult time finding it without data. There was also one night where about 10 men were just outside the hotel with bottles of Alchol and loud music.

    The room was stunning and comfortable. If you expect to feel jetlag or foot pain I would genuinely recommend the vaulted bathroom room. I was able to soak my feet after a really long day or just relax in the tub. Staff was lovely You are able to check bags however they hold them at the desk which I found a bit strange because even though staff is at desk 24/7 they are easily accessible to guests as well since the desk is open unlike a normal hotel. You are able to ask for assistance with luggage. The vaulted room was supposed to come with champagne or wine. Ours did not. We did however receive a welcome gift. Quite honestly it was a strange welcome gift in my opinion, vibes well with the hotel I suppose in that aspect but I'm not entirely sure if it was coincidence as the gift waiting was actually something I work with in my career so not quite sure if they look you up before hand as some hotels do look you up before you stay.

    Breakfast was excellent, and the complimentary tea and coffee in the bar area a definite bonus after a long train journey. Would recommend staying here, the only very slight negative was that as our bedroom was beneath the reception area we could hear walking throughout the night. Not a major problem though.

    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.

    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.

    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 ;-)
