The staff is accomodating
Though there was so much noise when i checked in my room as if someone is drilling.
It was really really really hot, there weren’t any staff around to help us other than some guy sat at a desk 24 hours doing his own stuff, the bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied and the tap in the sink in room 41 was literally coming off of the sink. It’s a good place to stay if you’re coming in and out and really really convenient (2 minutes from Kings Cross station). Not a lot of room, could barely fit two people in the room but it had a tea set, body wash, towels, a hair dryer and a TV provided.

The accommodation was in the perfect location for kings cross. A couple minutes from the station.
There was a delay with checking in but these things happen.
The staff were lovely and kept our bags for us while we went to explore whole waiting to check in.
The room was nice, it had a double bed, a sofa bed and a single, on suite and small kitchen area. It was great for overnight but If staying for longer the lack of an area to hang out would become an issue and the sofa bed was a little hard.
Decorating was nice but marks on the wall could do with a touch up with some paint in areas again nothing dramatic. Id stay again for the price. It was a warm and comfortable overnight stay in a great location.
No complaints. Decent value compared with any of the big chain 3 star places nearby. Room was comfortable and staff were great. Just what I need for a quick overnight trip for work.
nice place with unbelievable attentiv staff, friendly and helpfull. amazing stay and awesome time.

Good basic hotel near kings cross
Good stay, they could do with some coat hooks in the room or some hanging space! Had all the basic amenities covered, and were very helpful when required.
Close to Kings Cross. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was small but very clean. It was great for one night but would not be great for a long stay as there was very little storage for clothes- no hangers , plus the mirrors were too high to look into so it was impossible for shaving, makeup, hair etc.

Good base right near to kings cross, the guys were really friendly. We found some other residents quite noisy but this is no fault of the hotel. Room had everything needed. Were able to leave bags on check out to pick up later, really helpful.

staff was very nice but room quality poor and was not able to get good sleep
Great location! I love the self check in and check out. We could also leave our luggage the next day as we had a late train leaving london. The room was very practical for everything you need and in a great location! Would I stay again - yes!

The staff, service and kindness shown was refreshing. I will be booking again and look forward to the updated rooms, the sister hotel is lovely also.
Good stay! Room was super tiny, but we were only stopping through for a night, and it was super close to the train station, which is what we were aiming for. Staff made check-in and check-out super simple.
A little bit noisy and shower was cold but couldn’t find anyone to help fix it.
Modern decor and easy to find/check in.
Clean and comfortable just a pity about the above.
A very pleasant experience, help with our bags ( no lift). Offer to store bags after checkout. Good all around.

Good location.
Good location. Check in quick and easy and allowed us to check in early as rooms ready when we dropped bags off.
Rooms small but ok as only slept in room.
Our only issues were heating on all night which we couldn’t control so very warm and window wouldn’t open properly.
Water pressure in shower also poor.
Ok for our one night stay.

Good value and location. Bit small room though. The manager walked into the room without knocking to ask us when we was leaving completely unprofessional
major building work nearby. Seemed to be a large group of men congregating regularly during the day in the small park next to the hotel. Could be intimidating for some people. Hotel itself very nice, with pleasant staff..
What a warm welcome from Front of House! My bag was whisked to my first-floor room with a wonderful view of the garden square. Everything was spotlessly clean, the room has some quirky rather engrossing art, the shower was good and strong ... can recommend the Melville for anyone who fancies a night or three in a really good part of town.
Lovely hotel. Stayed here 1 night after returning from Disneyland. Hotel is across the road from St Pancreas Station. I was exhausted when we arrived back around 10pm. Room was beautiful, lovely comfy bed and hot shower was very much appreciated. Fridge, microwave and coffee machine plus kettle was an added bonus. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Luxury lodge.
Lovely host who went out of his way to get us into our room early.
The luxury chalet was ok for one night however the outside light shone through the window all night which caused a disturbance.
The bathroom is very tired and requires some maintenance leading to a damp smell and uneven floor.
We also noticed ants within the room.
