The hotel is a bit of a walk from tube stations. Front desk at check in was good but after that little service. For example when asking for water and more coffee, they didn’t send it. No amenities in the room. Won’t be staying again

Beautiful hotel, rubbish beds!

Customer service, cleanliness was good, both are important. But the beds were the most uncomfortable I’ve slept on. Do not recommend just based on how terrible we felt afterwards.

Great two-night stay for business

Very pleasant stay for a couple of nights on business. Staff were friendly and helpful (I managed to check in very early, which I was very grateful for!), the room was well maintained, and the WiFi was great both in the room and in the restaurant/lounge/bar area. I didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment, but the fish and chips was very nice and service was quick. It’s further from Kings Cross station than I expected (about a 15-20 minute walk), but that’s my own fault for not double checking the map! It was an easy taxi ride with my cases. All in all, a very pleasant stay that I’d be happy to recommend.

Room was clean and well appointed. Breakfast variety was wonderful. Location was a convenient home base to explore Islington and Camden, close to train stations for further travel. The staff were friendly and efficient.
