The hotel is literally across the road from Kings Cross train station which is London’s hub station for most travellers to London from the North.

At first sight the hotel looked a bit like a squat; it has some really tasteless brightly coloured graffiti painted down the outside of the classic stone exterior. Actually like some graffiti so I’m not just being a miserable old goat; in a word "Ugly".

Fortunately, the inside is much better although the lobby area looks a bit like an afterthought down a long corridor and the desk under the stairs. I guess in London you have to use your available space wisely, and while the lobby felt quite small it was nicely decorated.

Unfortunately, the hotel lift was out of order, and the game young man at the front desk did offer to carry our bags up the fourth floor. I was a bit out of breath but my stubborn male pride ensured I did it myself.
Our room was lovely; modern and swish and large, in fact massive by London standards. The room for the night cost us £100. Considering that £70-£80 will get you a broom cupboard, we were impressed with what we had snagged for the money.

We appreciated the nice large TV, and popped open a bottle of Peroni lager and chilled a while; at £2.50 a bottle, it certainly wasn’t too pricy. I particularly noted the welcome provision of free bottled water (still and carbonated) and fresh milk to go with the tea and coffee. My beloved was rather overwhelmed by the expensive and complicated looking coffee machine also provided in the room. While we didn’t use it, we thought it was a very nice touch.

The bathroom was probably even nicer with its posh free standing sink and bath/shower ensemble, and glass wall tiles. The shower was one of those with nozzles at belly height directing a horizontal jet of water; quite a shock if you aren’t anticipating it. We also appreciated the free Gilchrest and Soams freebies.
There is a nice looking cocktail bar downstairs; although unfortunately on the hot, busy Sunday evening we visited it wasn’t open.

The location at Kings Cross is much better than it used to be in the 1980’s where you would be eyed up as a possible punter by 15 year old rent boys, and there are a few bars and pubs where you can happily wine and dine without facing a cheery mugging as you leave.

The train station itself was having a shiny new facelift when we visited and the building work was a little noisy. I guess this isn’t the fault of the hotel, but it is a busy part of London if you want quiet.

To sum up, we were very happy with our nights stay at the Megaro Hotel, and would certainly stay here again if we could snag a similar £100 a night deal.
