I had to take steps up and down to get to my room, while carrying luggage, very inconvenient
The check in at the Arriva hotel was seamless! The room was basic but had everything we needed, including a hair dryer, towels and a kettle with tea/coffee and cups! There was also a fan in the bedroom and we were facing the back of the building, so it was pretty quiet! There was a working TV with Free View channels!
Stayed 1 night stop by King Cross. Room is small but one night stay which is alright and no complaint, Price is worth for the quality. Convenient location.
Friendly staff at Reception.
Benefit to keep luggage upon check out.

The concierge just seemed really unfriendly and the place wasn't that clean. But it was cheap for a 2 night stay and it was close to the train.
The reception staff were pleasant and friendly. When the television in my room didn't work, I was immediately offered another room. The room was clean and perfectly adequate for my purposes. No breakfast was available, but that didn't matter as there were plenty of eating places nearby.
I stayed for only one night. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Good value for money and within walking distance from Kings Cross.

The Hotel room I was given was basic and was located in the basement next to the Lift. The noise from the Lift disturbed me throughout the night, whenever it was used by others. The bedding was basic white sheets with no coloured throw, shown in the listing photos. The small TV was positioned too high on the wall and did not have a tilt mount, so picture was difficult to see unless you stood up in the small room.
However you get what you pay for and the Hotel still offers good value for its London location. Reception staff were helpful and always available.
I forgot a folder full of printed train tickets and entrance tickets in our rental car that was returned. The man who was working at the front desk helped me reprint all my lost tickets. He was so kind and so helpful! I can’t remember his name but he was from Argentina. He went above and beyond to help me and I really really appreciate his kindness! He deserves a raise and I highly recommend this hotel. The location is great. It was perfect for us.
Clean, tidy, sheets clean, comfy bed, friendly receptionist.
A bit noisy, but manageable, in the night as located next to a busy street.
Would highly recommend
