What a warm welcome from Front of House! My bag was whisked to my first-floor room with a wonderful view of the garden square. Everything was spotlessly clean, the room has some quirky rather engrossing art, the shower was good and strong ... can recommend the Melville for anyone who fancies a night or three in a really good part of town.

Adequate

The hotel was sufficient for a single night but the room was very small and up a very narrow flight of steps. The door to the bathroom stuck on the floor making it difficult to get the door open or closed.

A family with 3 adults staying for 3 nights. 1.Shallow and smaller then A4 paper basin, water splash all over your body. 2.I tried to remove the bath mat as I not get use to it, shocked to uncover the shower floor was broken. The mat was deliberately used for covering it up. Hair all stuck on the mat. 3.Table with a cup of coffee and an ashtray full of cigarettes in the front yard during check in, disgusting. 4.Broken lightbulb on the front yard floor, no fixing. 5.Light outside the entrance door covered with spiderweb. 6.No toilet paper and paper roll holder. 7.1 floor towel and 3 big towels on the first night. Host reluctantly gave us 3 more towels on the second night upon requests and specifying he will NOT provide us any more towels. I felt so bad begging for towels. One of the towels gave us on the second night were stained, disgusting. Description of the hotel amenities is cheating, please specify towels only available on the first day ONLY. 8.Sofa and chair with yellow stains. potato chips found on the sofa and the floor, clearly no/rough cleaning or sanitzing work. 9.We got 5 hangers, 3 of them were from fitting room with logos and printed size labels.Crazy. 10.I travelled with parents age 65 , I deliberately asked the host for the no of stairs. They said my room is on the G/F with just 3 steps, omitting the up and downstairs along the corridor. I knew your staff are willing to help on luggages, but a genuine answer to my query is a matter of honesty that I concern.

Business stay

A little bit noisy and shower was cold but couldn’t find anyone to help fix it. Modern decor and easy to find/check in. Clean and comfortable just a pity about the above.

major building work nearby. Seemed to be a large group of men congregating regularly during the day in the small park next to the hotel. Could be intimidating for some people. Hotel itself very nice, with pleasant staff..

No staff, no reception, shower dangerously hot. Tightly squeezed into multi-level space. Not in any way worth the money.

We arrived and went to our room. The bathroom lights and the power plugs were not working. I notified them and they moved us to a room without ac. The beds were like futons, the wood floors were worn off stain, bathroom shower had black mold in corners. The decor of our room was unmatched. The area was quiet and very convenient to kings cross station.

Felt like I was staying in a hostel. It smelled like a dank gym locker. We weren’t sure if it was dead bugs or dust in the sheets. Directions were confusing for checkin. Did not feel safe

Back to basics

I suspected when I booked that it was a basic hotel. However if you have a basic hotel, you must get the basics right. Very few channels worked on the TV. The shower temperature could not be regulated and was far too hot to use. So this did little to help. Having said that, the staff were outstanding and were so helpful.

We were travelling to Brussels from St Pancras Station, needed a place for just one night, coz the train was early in the morning, hotel is just 5 minutes walking distance, very convenient, would recommend for very short stay.
