Satisfactory stay near King's Cross

varied breakfastfriendly staffshower design
The breakfast was varied with a good selection (i especially enjoyed the sausages). The staff was friendly. My room was clean and had blackout curtains. I also found a safe and a kettle with coffee and tea, useful.
The shower design was flawed. Water leaked onto the bathroom floor, even when i was careful. I had to use a towel to stop the flooding, a bit annoying.

The hotel's location was great. It was about a 15-minute walk to king's cross station. i found a café just up the road named cafe maya. i appreciated the clean, modern feel of the place, and the bar area was comfortable. the staff were excellent and always ready to assist.
the air conditioning in my room wasn't working, though i didn't report it. i'm sure they would have fixed it had i mentioned it.
