Megaro Hotel

"The hotel did not return the deposit charged to the cc upon check in! We were promised it would be returned on the same day as our check out was, but over a month later the money still did not return, nor have we heard from the hotel on whether they had any reason to not return it. This was, unfortunately, a very disappointing final to the overall great stay at the hotel. The room was very nice and quiet, despite the busy location by the train stations, and well equipped. Great breakfast! But our general impression was still spoiled."

"We had a one night stay at The Megaro and our experience might have been very different in another room. Unfortunately, our room had a window that wouldn't close properly, so the noise (being across the road from Kings Cross) was pretty horrific all night long. We did not realise this until we went to bed at 11pm, as we had been out all night at a concert and not spent any time in the room. We have stayed in many city centre hotels, so know noise is likely but usually the sound proofing is far better than in this room. We did receive an apology from the receptionist but given the price of the room (£300 plus) this didn't somehow feel enough for the complete lack of sleep. Added to this the pillows were at the extremes of too soft and too hard. The final criticism is that there was a handy full length mirror but no socket near it, which added to sockets with no mirrors near them made for a tricky hair drying experience. I think in other circumstances (a good night's sleep), we would have had a far more positive view of the hotel - and it was very handy for the station when we gave up on sleep and decided to get an earlier train home!"

"We stayed 6 nights in this beautiful property located just a few steps from King's Cross and St Pancras stations. We loved the following about this hotel: - its strategic location, very convenient for taking both the subway and the ThamesLink (which connects the area to Gatwick airport), and many buses also pass by there - the beauty and cleanliness of the hotel, which has a truly unique style (a bit groovy and a bit industrial), very modern! - the kindness of all the staff (we also had the pleasure of meeting many Italians who made us feel truly pampered!) - the excellent, abundant, and very varied breakfast, from the classic English breakfast to pastries and sweet products of truly excellent quality Thank you very much for your hospitality"
