Picking somewhere to stay in London Kings Cross can be a real hard job. So many to choose from. So which hotel will suit you best, whether you are visiting London Kings Cross for business or pleasure. Here are five tips to help you pick the best London Kings Cross hotel.
For starters look at where the hotel St Pancras is located. Google is these days a fantastic little tool to get you started. Specifically Google Directions can be a life saver. With the hotel postcode, you can suss what is nearby. I also found when in Kings Cross, Google maps on the IPhone, with the help of GPS was brilliant. The big benefit of it is it will take you anywhere via foot or car.
My second tip is to look long and hard on the Internet for reviews on your shortlist of hotels. Not trying to sell Google, it is the best way to search for hotel reviews! You can look at lots of different points of views and compare between hotels. Remember, some people are impossible to please and whinge at any given opportunity. A bad review doesnt indicate a badly run hotel you wouldnt enjoy. On the other hand, some people have very low standards and are easily pleased. Consider all reviews with an open mind, reading lots. If a Kings Cross hotel is good, you should be able to see through a consistent volume of reviews.
You could ask friends and family for recommendations. Or alternatively, as around at work- particularly those that travel. Question what experience they had at the hotel. The obvious benefit of doing this, is you can judge better the opinions of people you know. Therefore listening to word of mouth is probably the best way to find yourself a Kings Cross hotel.
Pick up the phone- how friendly are the staff in reception? First impressions count. Therefore giving the hotel a quick call is a very good test. Quiz the staff about the ammenities. Do the staff know their stuff? How much do they know about the local area? Staff that aren’t very helpful, won’t be much more if you are a paying customer. And vice versa, friendly staff should be exactly that when you visit.
Also, are there any special offers being run? A hotel might not advertise this on the Internet, but may have rooms due to availability that you can get a deal on. Bear in mind though, hotel room pricing depends very much on availability. Expect pricing to increase when events are on- and in the case of London Kings Cross, this is very likely to be the case at most times.
