“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Great location right in the centre good access to the theatres, bars pubs and clubs, so no taxis!! The hotel has a very friendly relaxed atmosphere thanks to Patrons Dave and Caroline.
The room was clean, warm and had everything we needed, very comfortable.
Breakfast is done extremely well, and despite being a busy morning for Caroline our breakfast was hot and plenty of everything. We will be back.

“stale smoke and karaoke at 1am!!??”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

people found this review helpful

we stayed for one night as a family the room was clean and the owners were nice and wanted to help however the room smelled terribly of stale smoke despite it being a non smokers room and they started doing karaoke at 10pm which went on till 1am it was so loud we could hear every word and note it kept us awke and woke the kids up who were then crying. we got up to complain in the morning at 8:30 and they werent even up. breakfast is not served until 9:30! which is useless to a family with young children. also we booked parking but they didnt have any spaces so we had to park 2 steets away, highly inconveniant when you have a 8 month old. we also got woken up at 4am with someone on there phone outside our door. if it was £10 a night i wouldnt be upset but we paid £76 for one night four people in one room. terrible hotel!! wheres the hotel inspector!!

So sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at our Hotel. Firstly your room been a family room is a non smoking room, you were offered a lower floor because you had young children if the smell was so apparent in the room you know you had the opportunity to change, but you said nothing. You booked two days before your stay I had noted your request for parking but unfortunately it had all been reserved so was unable to fulfil your request, the directions I gave you to the pay and display are on the next street, one street away, not two, when my parking is full its full. The hotel was very family orientated that weekend and the majority of the guests with children had asked for the karaoke which we obliged as we try to please everyone the licence for music is only until 12 so I can guarantee it was not on till 1am. Even so I do apologise if it disturbed you. Again you had every opportunity to come down and make me aware it was keeping you awake and I would have turned it off. As for saying we were unavailable at 8.30 is a mystery we have forty breakfasts to prepare on a weekend and are up from 7 to do so, with the door open from 8.45 for breakfast and last orders at 9.30. Breakfast therefore does not start at 9.30.We work so hard all year round to please our guests, you can please some of the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time. The Hotel is our home and our business and take reviews like this personally and find it quite upsetting that people wait until they get home to decide they hadn't enjoyed their stay and exaggerate their unwarranted remarks, as a final note try a £10 a night Hotel, can't wait for that review !

“Good value for money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

Initial impressions very good. Nice welcome and clean Family room, kids loved the bunk beds. On a cold day the room was lovely and warm. Only downside was that we stayed directly above the bar, and whilst husband and children were fast asleep, I was kept awake until 1.30 am (the music finally went off at 1.00 am) with music and noise from the bar downstairs which I thought was very inconsiderate. Breakfast was good.

Room Tip: If you are a light sleeper, make sure you don't stay in the lower rooms due to noise from bar!

“value for money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

we stayed for 1 night at the kings cross hotel ,we were told there would be parking and there wasnt so we had 2 park 2 roads away.felt on arrival was not very welcoming didnt even no owners names .then with our bags had to go up four flights of stairs =( the people in the next room were very very noisey slaming doors and banging all nite till 12 ish then at 1 we heard the door bell ring .rooms were very clean but on suite was tiny could not more in shower ,had 2 ask what time breakfast was ,but have 2 say its was excellent .when we left we came downstairs and was just told 2 leave key on table no goodbye or nothing and we were very disapointed with the lack of comunication .

Room Tip: ask what floor you are on and who is next door as our neighbours were very loud
