mixed experience near king's cross

small room inconsistent hot water
the hotel has an excellent location, especially convenient for eurostar travel.
The room i received was smaller than expected. It barely had enough space for luggage. i also encountered an issue with the hot water. It was not running in my first room, and it took some effort to resolve that issue. after a room switch, hot water availability was still inconsistent.. this was disappointing..
