KX Rooms

"I know you were checking the prices and found this gem, you might be thinking of checking reviews as well, you will get what you pay for: Rooms are dirty, facilities are damaged and overall the room looks like a crime scene. Towels and bedding appear to be cleaned but they are heavily worn thus the colour looks yellowish. You can open windows to let fresh air in and there's no AC. Windows are old, single glass and you will hear the street loud and clear, in fact, sound pollution is the main problem: you can't get proper sleep because you can hear all your neighbors, the street and people using the shower/toilet in the corridor. Anyways, if you just need a place to sleep for one night - you should be fine."

"Does what it says on the package, provides a reasonably clean bed to sleep in. Hotel has an overall shabby appearance, not the cleanest I have stayed in. Next time I'll spend a few more pounds."

"Great location. For the money as a place to rest your head and shower really can't complain. The experience is entirely self serve with codes to access the room. Decent shower. Nice and quite. Would have slept well we're it not for the stifling heat. The fan in the room did little to help. But short of proper A/C, which at the price I wasn't expecting there wasn't much you could do in this heatwave."

"If it were possible to give this hotel a 3.5, I would! However, between a 3 and a 4, I've opted for the 3, as there were numerous things impacting my stay. Let me start with the good things about the stay: Wi-Fi worked well across all devices; location was fantastic for all sorts of museums, restaurants, and transport; the room had a nice, big window which was great for letting in light and fresh air; room was remarkably quiet overnight, given the location; blackout curtain allowed for sleeping in nicely; access using door codes rather than keys was tremendously convenient; staff at the Melville next door were very kind and let us leave our bags there both before check-in and after check-out. The minuses of the stay are: Toilet room left a lot to be desired, as the toilet didn't flush well and the handle on the door was broken; the separate shower/tub room was spacious but not terribly pleasant to use, as there was "pink mold" on most of the walls and a darker mold on the ceiling, plus no slip mat was included (and we were given one towel total for two people), and I actually ended up hurting my knee due to slipping when exiting the shower; very little space for taking things in and out of luggage (we were generally OK due to only having backpacks, but people with larger suitcases would likely struggle). Hotels at this price point in London are rare, and I'd say that it's honestly not a bad place to stay, especially if you need to be in the King's Cross area. With some better maintenance of the room, especially the bathroom/toilet, this could easily be a 4- or even 5-star rating."

"We stayed for one night at KX rooms and the staff and service was phenomenal. The team were super friendly and helpful and the location of the property is so handy for getting around with multiple stations close by. The rooms are big, bright and spacious and we would for sure stay again!"
