We stayed in the Virginia Woolf suite which provided lots of space for our family of four. Excellent bedroom and bed. Larger bathroom than in some hotels here. We knew there was no a/c and despite the heat, we utilized fans and kept drapes closed when out and it was fine. Decent coffee in the room. Bloomsbury area south of the hotel (Lamb Conduit st) is lovely to wander and get a drink/food. We walked from Covent Garden in 20 mins. Walking north to Kings Cross was 10 mins - easy to hail a cab when with luggage. Hung out in Granary Sq (great for kids) and visited The Lightroom. Only quirk is breakfast set up located in basement where you check in. Space is teeny tiny but the staff don’t really let you grab and go (which would be ideal). Definitely worth the walk over to the college for breakfast - lots of space and choices. Just abit confusing initially. Overall, convenient location for Eurostar and hard to beat size of the suite. Very quiet setting given location to Kings Cross. Recommend.

Needs TLC / Investment

A nice space and location. The decorations and ammenities for the room are well done. However, it needs some maintenance and new carpet. The carpet was all stained and disgusting in our room and hallways. And there were chips and repairs in the walls that were not touched up with paint. And there is NO A/C.

Not good enough hotel

There was no air conditioning in our room, and with outside temperatures reaching around 30°C, the room itself felt just as hot—if not hotter. We were placed on the top floor, which not only intensified the heat but also meant climbing several flights of very narrow stairs with luggage and a young family, as there were no elevators. Our room faced south, which only worsened the situation by allowing direct sunlight to stream in for most of the day. To make matters worse, the refrigerator in the room overheated and was actually emitting additional heat, requiring a service call just to have it unplugged. Overall, it was a very uncomfortable and disappointing stay, and certainly not worth the price we paid.

This hotel is trying to price itself to look like it's at the quality end of the market, but it fails to deliver. A stuffy attic room with cheap, lumpy foam rubber filled pillows and no lift doesn't justify the price tag. So - no, it isn't "good enough."
