Pros:

The couple that was there were lovely and welcoming from check inn to check out. Very central to the promenade , beautifull place even though still being refurbished does not effect your stay at all. They offer food drinks and it's like a mini arcade through the back. Bar is amazingly decorated and well stocked even for us Scots that like a tennants.

Pros:

There are four things I look for in a hotel. Cleanliness, comfortable bed, hot shower and a friendly welcome. The Kings Cross hotel more than passes all these tests, with Conor showing how much he cares for those staying there.

Great location an food but NOISY
Pros:

The dining room was really good for the kids and the food was lovely.

Cons:

Noise! No consideration for others, people outside till gone 5am had no sleep! Message the owner and got no reply! Walls paper thin could hear them chatting away all night till the morning. The room was so tiny and the bathroom, well it was so small, even for my 9 year old, the toilet roll was on a dispenser BEHIND you and very hard to turn an reach it its that small in there.

Overall great place to lay your head and affordable.
Pros:

Lots of on-site entertainment, general cleanliness was excellent. Comfortable, well laid out room and the host was always available. Looked and felt welcoming and well decorated too. .

Cons:

No in-room tea-coffee facilities was efficient but is a clear minus point in morning comfort terms. The bed, whilst overall comfortable, the frame was noisy and clattery and the bathroom was a little dated but clean.

We enjoyed our short stay very much. Very happy.
Pros:

Connor and his wife were extremely friendly and cheerful. The little bar they run downstairs was perfectly stocked and very comfy to relax in. It was very close to town.

Cons:

The beds could have been a little more comfy, but we managed for 2 nights.

Exactly what we were looking for, stress free and fun!
Pros:

Lovely cosy clean room, view of the tower lit up at night, great location, the most friendly, attentive welcoming host, easy check in/check out, we’ll be back to make full use of the games room (mini coral island) and that well stocked bar! Would 100% recommend :)

Thank you Connor! <3
