The property has been fairly recently developed so the furnishings are modern and everything is new, neat and clean. My room was in the basement, which I didn't love, as the view out of the window was of a yard and staircase that really needed painting, but at least there was a window, which basement rooms don't always have. Considering you are so close to Kings Cross, the area is very quiet and as a solo female traveller, I felt quite safe. London hotel rooms are ridiculously priced at the moment and this was at the more reasonable end of the scale. The room itself was tiny but that didn't matter as it had everything I needed (ensuite, kettle, tea/coffee, biscuits!, toiletries), somewhere to hang clothes, somewhere to sit. Breakfast was available for £7.99 but I didn't have it so can't comment on that. I stayed two nights and the towels were changed for the second day, which I didn't feel was necessary, so the hotel could save themselves some time and money there, as well as helping the environment. I recommend the hotel and would stay again.

Everything was pretty good, as expected. The room was quite tiny, but I booked a single. The amenities were quite nice actually and the bed was comfortable and I slept well. If your goal is to be very close to King's Cross St Pancras (a major transit hub), and not spend a lot of money, then this is a fine choice. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it. But it did the job and met expectations.

The hotel is very well located being so close to King's Cross St Pancras but I would advise against staying here. The rooms are tiny and have no storage space. There is also no working WiFi despite claims to the contrary - every visitor was complaining that wasn't working and the staff just shrugged their shoulders and said nothing could be done. Awful service and disregard for guests.

The room was nicely sized and seemed like it had recently been remodeled. Finishes were pleasantly appointed. It had everything you need. Comfortable beds, large clean bathroom, plenty of space and closer to the Eurostar.

Great little hotel! Would have given it five stars but there was building work going on inside and out and the fire alarm was triggered at one point. Would definitely stay here again though!

The property was under renovation, on the first morning there was no hot water for a shower and when we got there, there was no where to hang clothes it was a very small room, but it was comfortable.

Avoid this hotel, the only positive is that it is close to Kings Cross station. Rooms are tiny, no lift, tiny bed, tiny toilet, dirty…

Lovely gem at Kings X
Thrilled with our stay here. The room was clean, looked recently re-done and very modern, comfortable bed and nice touches. It is clearly going through some renovations in the downstairs area so there was some noise in the daytime on Friday (however at very reasonable hours). Will stay again!

When staying in London you get what you pay for. You can’t expect a 5* experience in a 1* hotel. This hotel is VERY much on the cheap end of hotel accommodation. In rating it therefore, the positives were location (the hotel is very close to St Pancras tube). The bed was VERY comfortable. The sheets were delightfully crisp and clean and the towels were white and fresh. The bathroom was small but very nice ( it looked fairly new) and the shower in particular was very powerful. There was a good sized TV and plentiful tea and coffee. For me, the negatives were the condition of the reception and the decor of the communal areas. It all looked really untidy and in desperate need of redecor. As such, I was slightly perplexed when I first checked in. Nevertheless, I had a pleasant stay. The hotel has probably spent available resources where it most matters - the room itself.

Management of this hotel were inflexible and uncooperative in addressing customer concerns, costing me more than 300 Euro out of pocket. I strongly suggest you find a more reasonable property to deal with, or risk similar treatment.
