DoubleTree by Hilton London Angel Kings Cross

The hotel is a short taxi ride from St Pancras railway station (walkable without wheeled luggage), it's slightly back from a busy road but there was no traffic or other noise during our stay. Staff were friendly and efficient and a warm chocolate cookie is provided at check-in. Our room was for four with two double beds, not large but enough for two adults and two kids. Slightly cold but not uncomfortably so, fast wifi, plenty of hot water and large fluffy towels. We were on the fifth floor but lift availability was never a problem. We had the hotel breakfast one time which was tasty and extensive but of course you pay for the wide selection, the cafes a couple of streets behind the hotel (Sizzles, Chapel cafe) do a good fry-up for less. The nearest tube station is Angel on the Northern line about 5 minutes walk away and in that general direction there are a number of restaurants and supermarkets.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here! The location is excellent as the hotel is just a 5 mins walk from Angel which has excellent restaurant, pub and cafe choices without the crowds of central London. Room was clean and bed very comfortable we slept very well which is always important. Mini fridge and kettle for coffee/tea was also nice to have as per standard in most DT/Hilton. Staff was friendly. We didnt use the bar or restaurant as preferred to go out at night but looked nice.

Really good choice with also healthy components at the breakfast buffet! Next to the Angel underground station and several bus lines are stopping round the corner of the main entrance of the hotel.

I did not fully appreciate the location when I was trying to book a hotel room. Location was a revelation - close to all the amenities and restaurants in Islington, very accessible by public transport. Close to London Euston where our train terminated, and a short walk from King's Cross and St Pancras. Angel tube station (Northern Line) a five minute walk. and served by numerous bus routes. My son and I even took the night bus back, as we missed the last tube service on the Piccadilly Line. So we took the N97 from Earls Court to Trafalgar Square, got a good experience of the night journey through London without the traffic and then the N74 to Islington. A great experience. Spoilt for choice in terms of the food in the area. The staff at the hotel were attentive and professional. Room was great, clean and spacious. We got a great view from out room, yet it was a quiet room.

I loved the warm welcome and the professional, polite and very helpful staff. Likewise, I was very impressed with the standard of service generally and the new facilities in the foyer, such as the self service shop with an array of goodies and essentials. In terms of the bedroom, the bed was comfy, the atmosphere cosy and the lighting was nice. Special thanks to Asad, he always ensures that everything runs smoothly and he was very supportive during my stay. I hope Asad is promoted to team manager very soon.🙂
