I love the sleek interior design of this hotel and pristine prompt service. The design reminds me of a fun cool train especially the elevator. The king room is absolutely gorgeous with a fantastic view. The amenities are excellent with high end Italian brand shampoo and soap. Our room service for breakfast was an absolute delight (ham cheese omelette, pancakes and matcha latte). Their location is right cross the major King Cross station (incl the Eurostar arrival station). The hotel also has a great rooftop bar. Definitely will come back to this hotel next time! P.S. I checked out yesterday and also posted the same google review with photos under Christine yesterday :)

Top hotel near King’s Cross

First time staying here. Very warm welcome at check-in. Upgraded to a junior suite. The room was perfect. Spacious, had everything I needed for a comfortable stay and more. Faultless - highly recommended

Loved the vibe of this hotel and how they preserved some of the original architectural details of the building. Really centrally located, close to major transport links. The bar and restaurant areas were very cool.
