Paid for a double room, given a single room – Extremely rude and unprofessional staff
Pros:

The bed was comfortable, and the hotel's location was very convenient, right next to the station.

Cons:

We arrived at the hotel at approximately 4 a.m., exhausted from our journey. We collected our keys, went to our room and immediately fell asleep.

The following morning, we noticed that our room was unusually small. After checking our Booking.com reservation and comparing the photographs and room details, we discovered that we had been given a single room despite having booked and paid for a double room.

We approached reception politely, hoping that the mistake could be corrected and that we could at least be moved to the room we had actually paid for during the remaining nights of our stay.

Unfortunately, the staff member's reaction was shocking. Instead of apologising or trying to help, he immediately became defensive and sarcastically questioned why we hadn't complained upon arrival. When we explained that it had been 4 a.m. and we were exhausted, he became increasingly irritated.

He then told us that if we didn't like it, we could cancel our reservation and leave. He repeatedly told us to leave, claiming there was nothing he could do.

What made this even more unacceptable was that our booking was non-refundable. Leaving would have meant losing the money we had already paid, and finding another hotel at such short notice was practically impossible, as the available accommodation was already booked.

We therefore had no realistic alternative but to stay. We simply stopped the conversation because the staff member was unwilling to listen or discuss any solution.

We weren't asking for special treatment. We simply wanted the room we had paid for, or at least an attempt to correct the mistake.

Being given the wrong room is disappointing. Being treated with sarcasm, hostility and complete disrespect when politely raising the issue is far worse.

Für London preiswertes, zweckdienliches Hotel
Pros:

Das Personal war immer sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer an sich hat seinen Zweck erfüllt. Sehr gute Lage für unsere Pläne. Positiv ist das Bad zu erwähnen, das war wirklich ok. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung. Nicht typisch englisch, sondern ein kaltes Buffet.

Cons:

Die schmale Treppe bis ganz nach oben mit Gepäck muss man glücklicherweise nur einmal gehen. Aber auch jeden Tag ein gutes Training so ganz ohne Fahrstuhl. Das Zimmer ist mit dem Doppelbett und dem kleinen Beistelltisch völlig ausgelastet, was es unmöglich macht, auch nur den kleinsten Schrank unterzubringen. Im Doppelbett nur eine Decke war (obwohl sie breit ist) für uns ungewöhnlich und hat Deckenkrieg ausgelöst.

Un hôtel proche de la gare St Pancras et du métro
Pros:

L'emplacement proche de la gare internationale st Pancras là où arrive l'eurostar.
Très proche d'une entrée de métro, king cross.
Proche de restaurants.
Dans un quartier résidentiel.

Cons:

Le bruit de la porte accédant du RDC aux étages.
Ayant une chambre au rdc, j'ai entendu cette porte faire du bruit pendant les 4 nuits car les clients rentrent tard le weekend ou se lèvent tôt pour repartir. Cette porte mériterait d'être changée.

Good for a one night stay.
Pros:

The location was within walking distance of all the places I needed to get to.

Cons:

There was a stain on the bed linen at the end of the bed. The shower room had a very small hand basin and no shelves for toiletries.

Compleja experiencia
Pros:

La ubicación, queda a 5 minutos caminando de la estación Kings Cross, lo cual era nuestro objetivo para quedarnos en el hotel. La cercanía con la estación permite tener muchos locales de comida cercanos. El personal muy amable, excelente disposición para recomendaciones cercanas al hotel. Nos cuidaron las maletas en nuestra salida para aprovechar el tiempo después del check out.

Cons:

La pieza era increíblemente pequeña, más de lo que las fotos mostraban, no lo esperabamos. Las escaleras son muy estrechas, al igual que los pasillos, que tienen alfombras y desniveles notables, lo que hacen difícil la circulación con maletas. La cama era muy pequeña y las almohadas muy duras. El barrio es algo sucio y oscuro, no es agradable para recorrerlo de noche.

To expensive for what go get
Pros:

It was located near the station Kings Cross that is why I wanted it. The staff was very friendly and informativ, the woman at the breakfast was very nice. The breakfast was good and they offered me glutenfree bread.

Cons:

It was far more expensive than it proved to bee in reality. The room was like a little box, near the outdoor and I could hear people coming and going all the night. I only got a small tower, nothing to have when to take a shower. The furniture was very simple and there was no teabags only coffee.

Great spot overnight before travelling
Pros:

Great location, comfy bed, quiet night, very easy and friendly check in

Cons:

Some of the decor in the stairs area needs updating and the room was quite small (although was a single so to be expected I guess)

Ár-érték arányban nagyszerű,elégedettek voltunk.
Pros:

Hárman 3 éjszakát töltöttünk a szálláshelyen. Az elhelyezkedés kiváló,könnyen megközelíthető. 24/7 recepcio,segítőkész recepciossal. Londonhoz képest a szobank nagy volt (4 agyasat kaptunk), kényelmesen elfertunk. Tiszta es rendezett volt.

Cons:

A regi ablakok nem szigetelnek jol, szél esetén zárt ablaknál is huzatos,a parkbol származó zajok kissé zavaróak.
