Great location

Julie 8.0

I liked that there was a bar, terrace, and nice lounge area. The pre-paid breakfast was outstanding, but way too much food. The location was very close to St. Pancras and King's Cross rail/tube stations. I easily walked from St. Pancras with luggage to the hotel. The Hotel was very clean.
