Close to Kings Cross. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was small but very clean. It was great for one night but would not be great for a long stay as there was very little storage for clothes- no hangers , plus the mirrors were too high to look into so it was impossible for shaving, makeup, hair etc.

Only stayed for 1 night and it was due to its proximity to the Eurostar which was fantastic, the bad points were to some extent not the hotels fault. It was a fairly warm night, high 20’s and couldn’t have the windows open due to the surrounding areas just being so nosy it was almost non stop sirens from the surrounding sreas and just general noise from the outside so had to shut the window to reduce the noise (not completely remove it) having the window shut made the room even hotter as there is zero airflow or anything to cool down the room, there was also loud banging from other guests every time a door was opened/closed and etc. I think if you do say here take some ear plugs and maybe only book for the colder months of the year. The staff were polite and efficient, the location is a short walk from the station, the facility’s were dated and not In the best condition but the real reason I wouldn’t stay again is the complete lack of sleep that was had from the noise and heat.

Luxury lodge.

Lovely host who went out of his way to get us into our room early. The luxury chalet was ok for one night however the outside light shone through the window all night which caused a disturbance. The bathroom is very tired and requires some maintenance leading to a damp smell and uneven floor. We also noticed ants within the room.

Good location.

Good location. Check in quick and easy and allowed us to check in early as rooms ready when we dropped bags off. Rooms small but ok as only slept in room. Our only issues were heating on all night which we couldn’t control so very warm and window wouldn’t open properly. Water pressure in shower also poor. Ok for our one night stay.

Disappointed

This was a disappointing hotel as I thought the Roxy chain are high end in other city’s! The bed was only just better than a camp bed, the shower had mould, and I was not making a coffee after looking at the kettle! I stopped at a hotel the other side of the park for the same money and would stop at that one instead!

Go elsewhere

The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful so no complaints there, but beware: They call this the "flat" or "apartment" of the Melville hotel, but "garden shed" is more accurate. It is located some distance away from the hotel itself. It is damp and dark, badly in need of renovation and overall quite depressing. Signs of moisture/mold everywhere. The radiator was leaking with a pot to collect the water when we were there. I would not recommend staying here, even at a significantly discounted rate.

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.

Avoid like plague

Awful. Black mould everywhere. Door had been stripped of security lock and fitted with what looked like a child’s toy with only one locking point. Damp everywhere. Not even a bin that stays closed, aerating the place with whatever you’ve had to throw away. Not suitable for children.

Photo's are not an accurate representation

Like many others previously, the photo's draw you in and really aren't an accurate representation of what you're actually getting. Significant mould/decay around toilet flush, sink and mould spots on ceiling and bed base. Beds are lumpy and dated its just a basic double with a box base. Tvs are maybe 25 inch. The pictures you are looking at are probably when it first opened years ago but nothing has been done in terms of repairs and upkeep. The only reason i'm not totally disappointed is because its literally 2 minutes from kings cross station and we didn't spend much time at all in the rooms

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.

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.
