All i will say is pictures are an opitcal illusion...my first room before i complained was on lower level in corner with a fake window it was very small and bathroom stunk of stale urine, floor boards all chipped up and literally nowhere to put your luggage. The following day i really wanted to check out and go somewhere else when they offered me a slightly larger room with a window and free from the smell of urine...will never ever stay here again

Very basic accommodation. OK if for just one night as it was very close to Kings Cross. The bed was uncomfortable. The mattress was very soft and kept sinking in the middle. Not a lot of space to move around as I had 2 suitcases. Struggled to get the TV channels and the staff at reception was not very helpful.

Nice hotel in a great location for an early train from St Pancras. Reception staff were polite helpful & friendly. Room was clean with a nice touch of apples left for guests. I’ve only marked down because the shower was faulty - scaldingly hot (dangerously so) & would not adjust down. Had to use a cup to rinse off with water from the wash basin. Not great at all at 5am.

Room from hell

Check-in was ok. Hallways looked grubby and room looked clean and tidy. Towels were provided. Bed was not to my taste. Matress was too soft and rolled to the centre. An awful night's sleep but there was worse to come. In the morning I went to use the toilet. While sitting down I suddenly felt water dripping onto me. Someone upstairs was taking a shower and the ceiling was leaking. The floor was soaked. Then it happened again when my wife was using the toilet. It was time to leave. Never be back there.

Not our cup of tea

Our stay was ok, we knew we wouldn’t be in the lap of luxury with a 3* hotel but we at least had hoped it would be clean. I’ll try and keep this review fair and objective. Pros: • Excellent location, the hotel is situated a stones throw away from KingsX station (like 5 mins walk) making it easy to get around the city. Additionally, considering how close it is to the hustle and bustle it was so quiet in our room. • 24hr reception - our train had so many delays and we ended up arriving in the wee hours, thankfully there was someone to let us in • Responsive customer service - when we arrived, we weren’t satisfied with the room we were given (more details in cons) and they moved us to a different room. Cons: • The place is just filthy, when we arrived we were placed in a room with a broken headboard (they used a pink cleaning cloth to hold it together somehow), the sheets had clearly not been changed between guests (they were creased with stains and hairs on them), we used a bit of tissue to wipe the floor and it just came out black. Absolutely appalling, cleanliness should be the bare minimum. We did get moved to a different room, but the bathroom was dirty and pillows under the cases had stains and clearly haven’t been changed for years. • Accessibility - if you have accessibility considerations then this is not the place for you. There’s no ramps, no lifts and the showers are pretty small. • They provide iron on request, but no ironing board. Overall not for us.

Clean, functional, good value in great location

Rooms are small and rather basic, but clean and functional. It's a good value for money hotel in a great spot near King's Cross. Staff were very friendly. Everything worked okay with the exception of the wifi, which was either poor or non-existent. I was there on business and wanted to do some work, so this was a real problem. It may be better in other rooms. Despite a ground floor room next to the main road it was quieter than I thought it would be. I would definitely stay there again unless I really needed that wifi.

The only good side of this hotel is the location is very convenient, a minute or two walking and you are in King's cross station. Nothing else, not worth the money.

Argyle Square Hotel

Was expecting a very basic hotel for price but pleasantly surprised. Excellent location, no frills hotel but perfectly functional. Comfortable and clean rooms, we reported an issue with shower in room above leaking drips into our bathroom which was noted. We had a room at the back of the hotel which was on a quiet road. Would definitely stay here again.
