The Rokxy Townhouse - Kings Cross

Great stay

Check in is on a timer so arriving 20 minutes early made it a bit of a problem. Little notes are left and an email to say tea and morning snack will be left at the door at 08:15. Stewed tea and no snack arrived at 9am but we were already on our way out by then. Room is nice but bathroom is tiny. Bit disappointed overall.

Another comfortable stay. We were in the King Suite room in the basement. It is a spacious room with a cute subterranean shower/ wet room. The only challenge in the London heat is getting fresh air in. The window did not have a safety so if we left it open anybody could get in when we were out or asleep. Apart from that it was very comfortable and the staff and small welcoming touches are awesome. Would stay here again.

Stayed for one night. Easy check in with details emailed to me on the date of stay. Loved the treats in the room on arrival and the tea trolley outside the room in the morning. Had everything you need from dental kits to sleep masks and ear plugs. 5 minute walk from Kings Cross station. Would definitely recommend.

I had to go back to check the reviews because I thought I was at the wrong hotel. I do not understand all of the excellent reviews. This was the second worst experience I've had in London. THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONER. 80% of the year this would not matter, but the week i was there was possibly the hottest of the year. Their solution was a small fan on the floor. It was not helpful. The room has poor circulation anyway - one small window that opens- discounting the tiny window in the shower. If you leave the blinds open then the people in the room cattycorner can see into your room and the outside lights are too bright. But if you close the blinds the heat intensifies. It never cooled off at night. The temp finally dropped 36 hrs after the temp outside broke and I left the next day. After Summer 2022 all businesses should have a plan to deal with the heat waves. No excuses. At least get a Dyson fan so its quiet. There is nothing eco friendly about the service. They advertise housekeeping if requsted but still brought new towels every day. I had nine in my room at one point- I was happy to reuse towels but never got the chance. The room was quiet except every door on two floors slamming for about two hours every morning. Forget about sleeping in. Unwanted tea trolley blocking the door every morning. Comfortable bed except for the spiders. Sewer smell from shower. Tchotchkes everywhere. No safe. I could go on but I've run out of room. Not worth the fees at all.

Helpful staff, good facilities and good sized room. Nice touch to have Fortnum gift & teas. Room could do with being a little brighter and air conditioning would be welcomed in the hotter months.

We stayed at the hotel during an unusually hot period. The room was like an oven. There was no air circulation at all other than by a small portable fan. During any other time, the room may have been quite adequate.

Excellent location minutes from Kings Cross Station yet quiet and secluded spot. Check-in was quick and efficient with great communication from staff. Room was quirky and uniquely decorated. Very comfortable and lovely touches with free mini bar and sandwiches left in room after checking in. Altogether a great place to stay, will not hesitate to stay again. Extra thanks to Yannis, who was great leading up to stay with excellent communication and efficient info.

Some lovely touches here…a welcome gift of Fortnum & Mason jam, a free mini bar with soft drinks, and a lovely surprise of a pot of tea delivered to the room in the morning

Room did not meet our expectations. The room was really small and felt quite claustrophobic. There was no storage at all, and 3 hangers on a peg thing for the ‘wardrobe’. No proper drawers, cupboards or a table so nowhere to get ready or to open up a suitcase if you had one. The paint on the wall looked tired in places and the furnishings felt cheap. For the price we paid, I was expecting better quality for things such as the mattress which dipped in the middle and was small, the bed frame, the towels, etc. We did get a free ‘minibar’ but this was just a couple bottles of water, 2 Fanta cans, 2 foster cans, half a sandwich and 2 kitkats - I think they’d be better off spending the money on upgrading the room. The bathroom was tiny. The shower flooded very easily and the plug drainage was really poor so I had to stop showering half way through! Again, the quality just felt cheap. There was just one shower gel dispenser on the wall and for the money I’d have expected shampoo, conditioner, etc. The room itself has poor ventilation and got extremely hot and we felt uncomfortable all night. There was a fan provided but it didn’t do much so we left really early as we didn’t sleep. The cleaning standards could also be improved, we found dust in quite a few spaces. As we were leaving, the member of staff said ‘you will leave us a good review’ when we told him about the shower issue. So seems like they ask for good reviews rather than earning them which I don’t agree with.

Great communication with proprietor over texts and messages. Wonderful service provided, very kind property owners and very helpful. The townhouse we had was Hygge and while it was adorable, so cute with two separate rooms and Two (small) full bathrooms! All at a good value; keep in mind, it is small and no air conditioner for hot summer days, though they promised next year they plan to have A/C.

Great location and wonderful cosy room! Staff were super friendly and welcoming!

Cute little hotel in London, super easy access to everywhere via Kings/St P. Decent neighborhood and very friendly staff, though no AC so be aware for summer travel!

Interesting place. Very helpful people . The room was very small, very small.

Fun, quirky decor. Gentleman in charge was incredibly friendly and helpful. The trolley with pots of tea outside our door in the mornings was a nice touch. Location is great right near Kings Crossing.

Quirky place! Efficient service but small room and very small bathroom. Personalised notes and freebies were welcome!

Beautiful property, great area, extremely good value. Check in was delayed by an hour because the room wasn't cleaned yet. Other than that, a great experience.

Very nice

The hotel was easy to find, once I realised I was looking for "Argyle Square" not "Street." The staff were all very friendly and helpful and communicated effectively before my arrival and throughout my visit. They were always on hand and were keen to make my stay as comfortable as possible. The room was well decorated and the bed was very comfortable, I was pleased to have a fridge and a microwave as when travelling on my own I don't always want to eat out, the freebies and treats were a nice touch. Very easy to get into town from the hotel and very close to King's Cross. I would definitely stay again

After reading all the positive reviews I decided to stay at this hotel, however, it was a mistake. The worst part is the dated room, tiny bathroom, plastic shower curtain and a non descriptive gel container mounted in the shower that reminds me of road side motel. The only bright spots are the staff they are wonderful, and the location near kings x station.
