I have mobility problems and use a mobility scooter, all the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was lovely and all the staff were very helpful, I would especially like to mention Ida, who was so genuine and kind.

Good hotel.
Decent hotel, a bit pricey I would say but by London standards I guess it’s on the lighter side. Its walking distance (within 30 minutes walk) from West End Theatres and from China Town. Kings Cross is about 15 minutes walk though would recommend taxi if travelling with luggage. Even though it said kids have free breakfast when having with adults at the time of booking, there’s a cut off of 13 years which was not made clear at the time of booking online. So we had to pay £16.50 per day for our 14 year old which I found was too costly and disappointing due to not being made aware. If I knew before, I would not have booked breakfast at all as there are many breakfast places near by which would be cheaper for breakfast. Overall, good hotel, we have stayed here before and likely to stay again.
