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.

Only stayed for 1 night and it was due to its proximity to the Eurostar which was fantastic, the bad points were to some extent not the hotels fault. It was a fairly warm night, high 20’s and couldn’t have the windows open due to the surrounding areas just being so nosy it was almost non stop sirens from the surrounding sreas and just general noise from the outside so had to shut the window to reduce the noise (not completely remove it) having the window shut made the room even hotter as there is zero airflow or anything to cool down the room, there was also loud banging from other guests every time a door was opened/closed and etc. I think if you do say here take some ear plugs and maybe only book for the colder months of the year. The staff were polite and efficient, the location is a short walk from the station, the facility’s were dated and not In the best condition but the real reason I wouldn’t stay again is the complete lack of sleep that was had from the noise and heat.

Photo's are not an accurate representation

Like many others previously, the photo's draw you in and really aren't an accurate representation of what you're actually getting. Significant mould/decay around toilet flush, sink and mould spots on ceiling and bed base. Beds are lumpy and dated its just a basic double with a box base. Tvs are maybe 25 inch. The pictures you are looking at are probably when it first opened years ago but nothing has been done in terms of repairs and upkeep. The only reason i'm not totally disappointed is because its literally 2 minutes from kings cross station and we didn't spend much time at all in the rooms

Disappointed

This was a disappointing hotel as I thought the Roxy chain are high end in other city’s! The bed was only just better than a camp bed, the shower had mould, and I was not making a coffee after looking at the kettle! I stopped at a hotel the other side of the park for the same money and would stop at that one instead!

Avoid like plague

Awful. Black mould everywhere. Door had been stripped of security lock and fitted with what looked like a child’s toy with only one locking point. Damp everywhere. Not even a bin that stays closed, aerating the place with whatever you’ve had to throw away. Not suitable for children.

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.

Filthy. Would not go again.

Absolutely filthy. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable and we could not sleep at all, and now we both have severe back pain. The room is tired, old, and all the furniture/walls is chipped and broken. The wall dividing the room and the toilet isn’t even a real wall and light shines through it. We found a ton of dust and cobwebs. We hurt our legs due to uneven step outside. No amnesties in the bathroom. Very noisy outside because the windows are very thin. We understand we got a cheap deal and we don’t expect amazing but we atleast expect it to be clean?!
