The hotel is ideally situated just across the street from Kings Cross tube line, making it convenient for transport links. The rooms were a bit lacking in cleanliness, especially on the upper floors where a few tables were hardly fitted and the bed sheets were not cleaned. Watching the neighborhood fox from the open window added a unique touch to the stay. The service at the reception desk was satisfactory, and the staff offered assistance with tours and tickets. The hotel's location was very close to the underground and railway stations, enhancing its convenience. The dining options catered to various tastes, including delicious crinkle-cut fries. Overall, the facilities were adequate, providing a decent stay. However, the room cleanliness could be improved, and some maintenance issues were noticeable. The value for the price paid was fair considering the proximity to key transportation hubs.
