The hotel is quite average overall. The rooms are really too small to be comfy for more than a couple of evenings, but they had all the stuff we needed for our break, despite already feeling pretty run down with scuff marks on the walls. The service was decent; they were really kind but had a mishap with the emergency door causing a draft. The location is perfect if you need to be close to King's Cross station but not great otherwise. The dining options were basic, and the breakfast could have been fresher. Facilities were standard.

I chose this hotel for its proximity to King's Cross station, which was very convenient. The room we were assigned on the top floor was a bit tiring to get to after a long day of travel, but overall, the service was excellent. The dining options were limited, but the location made up for it with easy access to transportation.

The hotel is in a convenient location near King's Cross, with easy access to transportation and amenities. The rooms, although lacking in cleanliness and space for four, didn't offer daily towel replacement and lacked bathroom hooks. The hotel staff were a mix of rudeness and kindness; some were unaccommodating while others delivered exceptional service. The dining options were limited, and the continental breakfast didn't provide much variety. Despite some flaws, the hotel presents good value for the money.

The hotel is conveniently located near King's Cross and St Pancras, making it ideal for travelers needing quick access to transportation. The rooms are well-decorated and utilize the small space efficiently; however, there were a few areas that could be improved. The service was helpful and knowledgeable, particularly for arranging travel plans, yet the night staff seemed less engaged. Dining offered a decent continental breakfast, although some abrupt changes were noted. Overall, the hotel provides clean rooms and excellent facilities but could enhance certain aspects to provide a better guest experience.

Our stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were clean and tidy, but unfortunately, I had issues with the cold temperature, and some maintenance issues like a broken shower drain and stained carpets. The service was excellent, especially with the option to store luggage, though I had to walk past our room to get there. The location was ideal for me being close to King's Cross station, even though the exterior looked a bit murky. Overall, a decent stay with ups and downs.

I absolutely loved my stay at The House of Toby! The rooms were spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, perfect for a good night's sleep and quick shower before heading out. The service was exceptional, with a special shoutout to the morning receptionist who was incredibly welcoming and sweet. The hotel's location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw away from St Pancras and King's Cross stations, making it super convenient for exploring London and beyond. The dining options, while basic, were sufficient, and the overall experience was fantastic.
