The bed was very comfortable & I have a bad back so that was really important for me. It’s walkable from Kings Cross. We were told we’d have a quiet room but our neighbours were noisy.

I was very pleased with this property. I stayed for just over a week and got very well-acquainted with the neighborhood, which was so conveniently close to the tube (Piccadilly Line) and bus. The staff was SUPER responsive anytime I had an issue, and they were friendly. You are in a busy area, so the street noise is a given, but I have a noise app on my phone to help block that out and it wasn’t a big deal for me. I loved it here and will try to stay here anytime I’m in London!!

The property looks good but the room i was in needed a deep carpet clean. No complimentary water bottles, no central heating/air conditioning, the walkway of other rooms looked really spiritually dispeleasing images of artwork not great but also the rooms are nice and spacious. I must say most staff of ethnic backgrounds (asian) not so welcoming to black people ( i would say kind of racist) dont acknowledge or even dont want to answer any questions you have please train them how to provide excellent customer service to all visitors. The young lady who checked me in and the older asian gentleman who worked after in the evening were wonderful. Please i know its a business but remember people always remember how you make them feel the experience is what brings repeat customers.

Surprisingly good for the location and price.
City Sleeper is the upgrade class of room at Royal National Hotel. The cleaners were great, and I appreciated that it was NOT one of those hotels that tries to persuade you to go without cleaning. THANKS! Also, the breakfast was excellent. The fried eggs were much appreciated. Great expresso machines.

Disliked: Staff & service
Location is convenient, the room was in acceptable condition and bathroom was clean. But the staff was unfriendly and quite off-putting in addition the room was cold with excessive draft from a bad window. The worst was the street noise which the window did not help with, it sounding like we were sleeping on the sidewalk.

Terrible
I had the hotel booked by a friend who’d mistakenly booked the wrong date a day after my arrival. We asked the hotel if they could consider moving the booked wrong date to a later date or same day if there was availability but they declined both options. I had to pay for an additional date and lost the booked amount which I think is absolutely unfair. £400+ gone with only half of that used.
