Excelsior Hotel was clean, helpful staff, easy and convenient

I was a little surprised when shown to my room by the guy at the check-in desk at Excelsior Hotel, that he took a look in the room first before opening the door fully. Maybe I'm looking at this a little simplistically, but I didn't expect that there should have been a need to check the room was empty prior to my taking occupancy. The room was warm, but so was the weather during that weekend. However, I did notice a draft on my head all night from the window, which did not shut quite tight. One of the power sockets in the room needed proper fixing to the wall and the kettle wouldn't boil without holding the switch down throughout. Plus points, the shower worked and was warm. The room was quiet, being on the top floor and there being not too many other residents. The loos were stocked with loo roll

All that was wanted was a bed for the night. Room was small but also had an en-suite shower and toilet. It was serviceable and clean. Coffee and tea facilities. Excelsior Hotel is just around the corner from St Pancras International which was just what we wanted. Excellent value for the price and only the small size of the room wrong with it

Room on the small side but if you're just using it to rest your head at night is perfectly adequate. Friendly staff and can't ask for better location near Kings Cross Station. Would book Excelsior Hotel again
