“Kings Cross isn't for everyone, but this hotel provides a surprisingly stylish and comfortable base, especially given the price. I appreciate its proximity to both the nightlife and vital medical facilities - a rare combination. The friendly 24-hour service smoothed out any potential late-night arrival hiccups, and it's reassuring to know they're available when needed.”
