Felt there was an arrogance that this place is popular so deal with it
Pros:

Breakfast was so busy and had to wait. Food was very good but I thought expensive and I’m not poor

Fabulous stay
Pros:

The location is excellent for an early morning Eurostar. The decor was cool and the windowless room was very relaxing. Highly recommend

Cons:

The only thing the room could do with a bigger bin and a couple of hooks in the entrance for wet coats.

I would choose this hotel again for the amazing sheets, towels, cleanliness and comfy bed.
Pros:

The hotel exceeded my expectations of cleanliness. Well the room had a weird smell, but I opened the window and soon it was ok. But the towels were soft, no old stains and smelled fresh. The carpet was do clean that I felt that I could walk barefoot on it. The sheets on the bed were divine - smelled clean, crisp, fresh and again no weird hairs or old stains on them.

Cons:

1. There was a smell in the room when I entered. i assume due to lack of air, as I opened the window and soon it dissapeared. As I was given a free upgrade (thank you!!!), I did not ask for a different room. The rooms of my friends (2 other rooms) - did not have smells.

2. The first night a fire alarm woke us up at 10:30pm. We got dressed and were ready to leave but then we saw no one else in the hollways. We decided to call reception and were told that it was a false alarm - that’s great, but would have been nice to be informed about it being a false alarm maybe through the same way as about the alarm.

Great hotel but check your charges !
Pros:

Great location, have stayed here before and there’s lots to do in and around King’s Cross - also great for train connections. Hotel is very modern. If you pay for a slightly better room then you’ll get a decent size room with everything you need.

Cons:

Despite checking in and confirming with the front desk that I had already pre paid for my stay with booking.com, I have since been charged again on my credit card. I emailed the property both via booking.com (who gave me another front desk email to use), and to the Front Desk email provided but it’s been a week and no one bothered to get back to me. I called the hotel the following Friday and they assured me they would refund me the £250 charge straight away and email me confirmation of the refund but have yet to receive confirmation of this. Glad I checked my credit card statement as otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed the double charge.
The upstairs bar is also very overpriced. £60 for 3 cocktails!

A quirky hotel in a perfect location to explore London
Pros:

Location and quirky design features of the hotel

Cons:

We had a window less room. The design of the room was great it wasn’t apparent there was no window. However during the night the room became stuffy for me.
