Noisy latecomers next door!

Very nice hotel overall. Good breakfast. Comfortable and very clean room. Only disappointment, but impactful, room had an adjoining door to another and conversations and general noise woke us up at 1.30 in the morning. We would have appreciated being asked if we minded before being allocated the room.

The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross station. It has a beautiful lobby, lounge and restaurant. It is in a safe area and is nice and quiet. The staff are very professional and helpful. Our family room was snug and there wasn’t any controllable a/c, but otherwise, no complaints.

Average and ok!

Basic but ok! A little dated in the room and quite a creaky bed. The reason I give less stars is the room wasn’t very well thought about. The hair dryer was fixed no where near a mirror, and the only plug was also nowhere near a mirror for hair straightening, which isn’t very practical. And the bed creaked a lot.

Convenient location, welcoming staff and the breakfast was really good. However, the property is dated, doesn’t justify the price I paid for the room, housekeeping services are poor. I’ve had better experience at other IHG hotels, was a bit of a let down.

Only bump was when asked for water one day, no one came after 3 calls and over an hour. When asked reason, fingers were pointed and quoted if being busy. Customers time should be valued especially on vacation and over an hour wasted sitting in the room waiting.
