Beautiful decor and comfortable rooms. Not the prettiest surrounding area, but still very good value for money, considering it's a 20 min tube ride to Kings Cross.
The Chromecast feature on the TV did not work, even after maintenance attempted to fix it twice. Neither the TV in the living area nor the bedroom TV would appear as casting options in the Netflix or Disney+ apps on my phone. This is not something that typically bothers me in hotels, as I'm usually abroad and too occupied to watch TV. However, as I'm actually from London, I was hoping to have some time to relax in the hotel and catch up on shows. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was the option to watch TV, so it was frustrating that this did not work as advertised.
The room was also incredibly warm. It averaged around 17 degrees outside during my stay, but the thermostat in the room showed that the room averaged around 25.5 degrees. This was just about okay, but I would avoid this hotel during the peak of summer. The in-built fan created more noise than cool air.
Apart from the issues with the TV and the room being too warm, the hotel was otherwise very pleasant. I wouldn't stay during the summer, but would return in the winter, if the TV issues are resolved.
