The hotel is conveniently located near Kings Cross Rail Station, making it easy to access local eateries and transportation. The rooms are comfortable, and the service is attentive; however, the noise from the park opposite the hotel could be bothersome. Dining options are limited to pasta dishes, but the facilities are modern and provide good value for money.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The location was convenient, close to King's Cross station, making it easily accessible. However, there was some noise from the park opposite the hotel in the mornings. The grilled fish at the dining area was delicious, but the facilities could be improved for a better experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, but the shared bathroom situation was a bit inconvenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the lack of air conditioning made the stay less enjoyable during hot days. The location was great for accessing the Kings Cross rail station, but it was noisy in the mornings due to park activities.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was fantastic, just across from a park, making it lively but could get noisy in the mornings due to group activities.

The hotel is conveniently located near King's Cross railway station, making it easy to access. The room I stayed in had a lovely window with a shared bathroom, which was a bit of a downside for me. The handmade pasta served at the dining area was delicious. The facilities were good, but the morning noise from the park opposite the hotel could be bothersome.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with a lovely view from our bedroom for an hour. The room with a shared bathroom was convenient, and the private bathroom option was a bonus. The service was top-notch, particularly the bell staff and tours assistance. The location, although near the train station, was noisy due to groups gathering in the park opposite the hotel. The dining experience, especially the poultry dishes, was satisfactory. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel combines a great location close to top attractions with friendly staff and comfortable rooms. However, the noisy mornings opposite a park were a bit of a downside. The dining experience was satisfactory but could be improved with more variety. The facilities were top-notch.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the lovely window added a nice touch. The air conditioning was a great relief on hot days, but not having a private bath was a downside. The service was impeccable, but I found the pricing slightly on the higher side. The location, though close to Kings Cross station, was a bit noisy in the mornings due to gatherings in the park. The dining experience with delicious marmalade was a highlight. The facilities were well-maintained, but the pricing was a bit high for the value offered.
