Front desk staff were excellent. They were extremely helpful. They gave us early check-in, it was a blessing as we were tired after traveling. The hotel does not have a business center which was very inconvenient for the guests. Gena, the front desk staff helped us to check in and print our boarding pass in her own computer. She deserves a raise. Dewika brought our luggage upto our room, which was very kind of her, as we were tired after traveling. The restaurant staff were good. The food was great. We always ate there during our stay. Breakfast was very good snd yummy. Anna, the dining staff was very professional and helpful. The property location is great. Walking distance to King's Cross and Saint Pancras. Close to metro amd bus stops.

All tv stations either were full of static or wouldn't connect. Perhaps some nibblies and drinks in the bar fridge would be appreciated. Mattress was extremely comfortable but airco had a distinctive hum which needs to be adjusted

We paid £334 midweek for what was an average room. The staff on the checkin neither of us could understand unfortunately. The room was basic. No plug socket near a mirror for hair equipment etc. no tea and coffee making facilities, not enough hot water for a hot bath and decoratively dowdy. Generally didn’t represent good value for money. We have stayed in a premier inn room nearby which was better proximity to the station half the price and twice the quality.

Great conveniently located hotel
This hotel is very nice indeed. From the welcome at the front door to the breakfast crews everyone was very attentive. The room was spacious and comfortable. Our only issue was the shower tray wasn’t very deep so ran over onto the bathroom floor easily. Excellent choices for breakfast as long as you are down by 9am after 9am things started running low or running out.

My daughter and I booked a room with a queen size bed and sofa bed. The room was quite small and once the sofa bed was folded out there was very little room to move and you couldnt open the fridge. Also lack of hanging space in the wardrobe was an issue. Probably ok for someone staying for a few days but not for 2 adults staying for a week. We lived out of our suitcases due to very little hanging/drawer space. Breakfast was ok with a good choice but was the same choices every morning. A bit of variety would have been nice. Unfortunately we were allocated a room to the rear of the hotel so were woken at 6 am most mornings with delivery vans reversing and being loaded/unloaded or recycling bottle bins being emptied. There is also building works being carried out next door which would wake us again (although I appreciate that is out of the hotel's control). We have stayed in a few Crowne Plaza hotels and we paid a lot for this hotel but unfortunately this one did disappoint and we wouldn't stay again.
