Chose this hotel for proximity to the main train station for our onward journey. Not as close to other options I previously stayed at but walk is doable and the hotel is in a nice, quiet and safe area. Not too many dining options nearby but found a good pub that served wholesome English food. Hotel was clean, staff very helpful, and room was standard for a family of 4. All in all, I'll stay here again as an option if I need to be near one of the train station hubs.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The room was great along with the gym in compassion to many London hotels. Some other facilities less so. The wifi in the room was almost unusable; not great when you’re staying for business. The TV’s also struggle to hold signal and constantly buffer. Due to booking via Hotels.com I was unable to add access to the business lounge on site.

Good location 15 minute walk from King's X station, surprisingly quiet area. Spacious and clean room and bathroom. Very pleasant and helpful reception staff (easy check in). Hot buffet breakfast was awful 😖, bacon very tough and fatty, no choice of eggs (only very watery scrambled eggs), and sausages very dry and tasteless. Cold buffet much better. Staff at breakfast pleasant and efficient. All in all pretty much as expected from a chain hotel in a very touristy location. I would definitely stay again but maybe room only.
