We travelled london for the holidays and thinking to stay in the central location of london. On searching we found the Excelsior as best hotel in Kings Cross, london. It was absolute stunning experience and the hotel had fulfilled our imagination. On personal note as a tourist i would suggest to have a stay and enjoy the experience. more

Some staff were excellent (eg the guy who fixed my wi-fi connection), but others could barely speak English. The wi-fi, even when connected, was very slow - almost too slow to be usable. Bed was comfortable and bathroom clean. But the milk at breakfast was off and the breakfast staff spoke very little English. more

My family stayed at the Excelsior Hotel at Argyle Square for a long weekend in October. We had pretty much the same experience as other people on here regarding the reception two doors up and the trip down to the basement and the very small room with two double beds and one single, and the strong smell of cheap air... more

Dear Guest Our hotel has 3 quin rooms and are allocated on arrival at the hotel. We know rooms that sleep five 5 people are very hard to come by and normally families of this size have to book between 2 - 3 rooms to accomodate everyone . So we think we are making families of 5 happy by providing...

Stayed two nights with a friend on a leisure break. Very good location to both Kings Cross & St Pancras stations and the underground. Room was small but compact, had all the basic needs. Could have done with a good dust in the drawer's, but otherwise I was very happy with the general cleanliness of the room. We had to... more

I don't know what to say about this hotel. I don't want to slag it off but at the same time I cannot praise it either. I expected better..... much better for the £140 per night room we booked. We booked it after visiting their very impressive website. The room photo's looked the business, so we opted for the quad... more

The location of the hotel is perfect, two minutes from the nearest underground station gives perfect access to the whole of London. My experience of the hotel was nothing but pleasurable. The rooms were large, cleaned meticulously everyday and had access to free wifi. My initial visit of five weeks was business related but i have since made frequent visits... more

Dear Madam We are sorry we could not accomodate you in the Excelsior Hotel for the night. With such short notice we had to find you a double room in a nearby hotel for the same price. We can only apologise for not keeping you with ourselves . Many thanks Patrick Manager

Having booked this hotel on the strength of a credible looking website I regretted this decision the second i walked into this hotel. To start I was not based in the Excelsior and was advised by reception to head up to the Argyle two doors away. Instead of the brightness and cleanliness of the website I walked into something very... more

Dear Sir We are extremely sorry that we could not accommodate you in the Excelsior Hotel for the night. We were short of rooms that night and we had to find a room for you nearby for the same price. We are sorry that the hotel we found for you was not upto the standards of the Excelsior Hotel Many...
