early check inhuge tubroom downgradepersuading staff
the hotel stood just across from kings cross station. i had a early check in. after traveling for twelve hours, this was very welcome. the tub was also huge.
when i got there the staff tried to downgrade my room reservation from a large king-victorian room to a small room. after insisting they fix it, i got the correct room, but i had to persuade them so it was not a good start.

Convenient and Comfortable Stay

The hotel is very close to St Pancras station. The staff stored my luggage for a few days while I traveled to Paris. This helped since the hotel is across from the station. Check-in was smooth and the employee was very helpful and cheerful.
The room was a bit small.
