Top King's Cross Hotel Reviews

Argyle Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and helpful staff, Great for access to St Pancras or Kings Cross Station, very quiet so helpful for sleep."

Clink 261 Hostel

8/10 Good

"Hi, I was knackered, so didn't do anything other than go to bed! The bed was comfy, and the pillow and duvet comfy and fluffy, although they were quite perfumey (I am allergic a bit!). I slept really well. The shower is spacious, your stuff doesn't get wet when hung up (this is a big thing as some hostel showers aren't as good in that way) and the separate loos are a good idea. I didn't have to queue. I didn't have brekkie. I enjoyed my stay. It got a bit noisy though. When I got there I went in quietly as two people were in bed, but later two people came in really noisily and dragged the lockers about. So lots of banging. I'm getting used to this lately in hostels as they seem much nosier over the last couple of months. Someone checked out at 4am and was a bit noisy and other people at 7.30 were noisy too. It left me and another girl who was as quiet as me!! Anyway, I'm not marking the hostel down on it cos it's not their fault!"

The Memoir Club

10/10 Excellent

". The hotel was lovely, and check-in was quick, easy, and hassle-free. The staff were welcoming, and the whole experience was very pleasant. The hotel is a great place to relax and unwind, and we really enjoyed our stay. We would happily recommend it to others and would definitely consider staying again!"
