The Melville Hotel by Rokxy- Kings Cross

Amazing staff and hotel space, location was brilliant.

Stayed in the Chalet and it was lovely but the shower needs some work.

It’s beautiful like a Georgian Terrance townhouse gem

Really good base, close to Kings Cross to make getting around London easier. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were really friendly and attentive, provided a personalised greeting in the room and tea, morning paper, and biscuits each morning with little personalised cards. I had been worried by the bad reviews I had read before arriving but luckily we didn’t encounter any of the problems I read about.

They’re tried their best with the small rooms, but I think there could be better ways to use the space more strategically. The mirrors all seem to of been hung by a very tall person, no good if you’re below 5ft 5. Rooms also got very very warm, maybe some standing fans for the rooms would be an idea?

Air con in the room which was good during the current hot weather. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Location was good for St Pancs station, however a lot of drug users around - know this is out of the control of the hotel though. Room could do with a light switch closer to the bed (and some plugs) wasn’t very practical. Also, maybe some net curtains on the window so you can open the main curtains without seeing into other bedroom.
