“This adults-only property provides a solid base near King's Cross, handy for Eurostar and Tube connections, with rooms that prioritize space. Its historical setting and the rooftop terrace add character, while the ground-floor bar creates a social atmosphere. I think its greatest strength is value for money in a very central area.”
