We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in May 2013. We chose this hotel because of our previous satisfactory experiences with Holiday Inns and its location near the major London rail termini. The Kings Cross area is not very nice at all with many drunks about and all sorts of excrement on the footpaths. The hotel was of an... More

Stayed here for one night on business in May 2013. Hotel is not well sited for Underground connections, and is at least a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross station. Room was basic and quite small, but was very clean. Despite overlooking a large Royal Mail distribution depot, my room was well soundproofed and there was no noise either from... More

This hotel was nice, but it was easily a ten minute walk to the tube station. At certain times during the week, and on the weekends, the closer of the two entrances to the tube station were closed so we had to add an extra few minutes just to get there. He English breakfast was added, and it was so... More

Large hotel with good facilities. Not particularly well sited - nearest rail and underground stations is Kings Cross/St. Pancras twenty minutes walk away. Rooms are well sized with the usual two double beds, comfortable, clean and quiet. Has an excellent Indian restaurant. Breakfast buffet is good bur there was quite a queue to get to it.

I was traveling with a group of college students, and we were on a budget. We travel overseas every year, and our travel company is generally able to find us moderately priced hotels that provide reasonable comfort in good location for student travel in a large city. Knowing that London is an expensive locale, we knew there would be challenges.... More

This hotel is quite new, or was at least recently remodeled--presumably in connection with the 2012 Olympics. So the furniture and carpets are quite modern, and in good condition. And the building itself is certainly nicer than some of the other hotels in the neighborhood. The room seems fairly soundproof, though I'm not sure if there are people in the... More

I had an overnight there, the hotel is well located, although wifi is paid, which is not normal for an hotel in 2013. I think management has to re consider that .Bus stop right down the street from hotel. room is ok as per the price we did paid

Excellent price (including continental breakfast) - lovely room, everything we needed to visit the British Museum, and within easy walk of the Kings Cross train station. We booked via Malcolm Saul, Travel Counsellor, which made the whole process very easy!
