Conveniently located being close to a suburban railway station (Kings Cross), room was comfortable although window didn't seem to secure properly as got some traffic noise even with window closed.

Shower was a fixed head affair which...

It's clear that the staff of the hotel really care about the guest experience. Morning breakfast is phenomenal, as well as the accompanying lobby space.
