i have never come accross such an organisation where the needs of the Tenant are not adhered to and for that matter they keep finding ways and means to squeeze money from you. Keep away!!! WELL AWAY!!

Not impressed at all

One off stay here but wasnt impressed by any means with the condition of the hotel or the level of cleanliness. Staff were trying to be helpful but I think when the conditions of hotel are that bad then there really is no saving it. Having stayed in other Premier Inns before I was very shocked at these conditions.

Yes, mini filofax inserts

This is about the only WHsmith i have found that do the whole or most of the range in Mini filofax bits they are so difficult to find normally. WHSmith is great for magazines too as they do more than most newsagents, with Vanity Fair being hard to find they have that too here.

not a great experience

I know you get what you pay for. But you'd think all Premier travel Inns have a standard they stick too.... not here. Granted, they had lots of building work going on, but there was an endless queue to check in, grumpy staff and the room had damp in it with a dodgy heater plugged in and on in the middle of the room. I'd avoid this place.

Nasty

Shops like this should never be allowed to oopen, some designer goods that weren't good enough to make it to the decent stores. Scavangers go in here hunting for bargains.

Quality back street local close to Scala nightclub

Popped in here last Friday before a gig at the Scala having never visited before. What a treat!

The pub had 2 well-kept ales including Deuchars IPA, a quirky comfy interior (think random antiques on walls and ceiling, a Victorian fireplace and a bar billiards table - something of a pub rarity these days). There are also a handful of tables outside in this quiet side street which made for a pleasant spot for a pint in the mild weather.

The crowd was a good mix of youngsters warming up for a night out, locals and a few old boys and hippies.

I wasn't expecting that much from a pub in this area but will certainly go back if I'm in these parts again.

My only complaint is the bordering-on-comical size of the gents toilet. There's a cubicle and urinal but more than 2's certainly a crowd!

cool bar, slow service

I had high expectations when I first went to the Big Chill House as my friends were shouting about it how cool it was. Have to agree that it is a pretty cool bar with split level, a roof terrace and good music. But be prepared to wait at the bar. It seemed to me that the bar staff didn’t know anything about serving drinks. I got so annoyed by the end of the evening that I stopped buying drinks. I would rate this place higher but the service is a bit of a downer.

Great Concept !!

We got this restaurant recommended by the hotel we were staying at. Since we are based in Kings Cross when we work in London we thought it might be a good idea to see if this place is as good as it sounded.

After getting there - its 2 mins from kings cross underground we found a beautifully decorated restaurant dominated by a large center kitchen where all the food is cooked freshly.

Theres 4 cuisines on offer - Chinese, Indian , Thai & Italian. Between my friends and I we had everything from starters - somosas, chinese spring rolls , thai fish cakes , main courses such chicken tikka masalla, king prawn Pad thai, spagetti Bol and found all the food tasty. The fact its all cooked freshly in front of you is a great feature and I loved the live cooking for the chinese stir fry & indian nan/tikka. For 12.95 you cant go wrong. It tremendous value and great quality - something you dont get in Kings Cross. Over the many times Ive stayed there for work Ive tried all the local places and this place is breath of fresh air. Highly recommended.

Great Concept !!
