Was a very good stay, the room was big enough for my needs, mainly somewhere to rest before the next trip out, only a few hundred yards from King's Cross so easy access for trains and underground. The facilities in the room were great, full enquire, large screen TV and air conditioning also the complimentary tea and coffee. A lot of different places nearby for food and drink so you won't get bored.

I was in London, my place in the world! However this hotel wasn’t coping with what I expected for, the room was OK but we had a heater problem which made us sleep in London’s winter with the windows open! Imagine how we were suffering the hot from inside. Not coming back to this hotel not even for the price!

Understandably, the initial issue is out of the hotels hands (Covid). I had booked for April 2020 & we went into lockdown which was obviously unavoidable. …
