Déception
Pros:

Personnel très accueillant et sympathique

Cons:

Le quartier aux alentours de l'hôtel
La chambre n'était pas très propre et manque d'entretien, pas d'eau chaude au lavabo et lampe cassée dans la salle de bain.
Pareil pour la lampe de chevet au dessus du lit.
Vu le prix payé il ne faut pas s'attendre à du haut de gamme mais un minimum.

Excellent Owners, Hotel,Facilities, and Location. A Joy to Visit .
Pros:

My Room was perfect.I was made welcome by Connor and also my luggage was looked after both before my stay and after which was very much appreciated. My Room was spotless with everything I needed. I will definitely be booking again when I’m in the area. It’s ideally placed in centre of Blackpool near the Tower. Also a straightforward walk from Blackpool North Railway Station. If late at night after midnight, I do advise a taxi as immediately you leave station taxis are waiting. That’s mainly because of the station area late.at night. Also, I got tv working immediately without having to ask and it had you tube channnel available. I fully recommend The Kings Cross Hotel.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike for me

Pros:

Staff (Connor) who greeted us was the most genuine, personable and likeable personality who really gave a warm welcome and made us at home, and then even followed up with a personal thanks in a message after our stay.
Location is perfect, quietly tucked away a couple of streets back and only minutes to walk to the tower.
Nice little area to keep the kids entertained if you want to grab a drink after a long day.
Budget value was great. It was no more than a bed in a room, with a small shower/toilet, but for a very low price it was a clean and comfortable place to spend the night.
