The Comfort Inn King's Cross lives up to its name. Sure, the reception could have been friendlier, but we have to admit that this cozy 53-room hotel, which has geraniums lining the windows, feels more like a local inn with great perks than just another link in an international hotel chain.
Situated in the prettiest part of King's Cross, the Comfort Inn's old brick Georgian building is less than a 15-minute walk from the British Museum. Refurbished in 1999, the hotel's inside attempts a funky, modern style and boasts all the usual modern necessities, namely air-conditioning, wireless Internet access, and an elevator. The hallways and stairs are narrow, so ask for a lower floor if you have lots of luggage. Rooms, small by international chain hotel standards, are typically sized for London. But they have nice furnishings and a warm ambiance.

About the Comfort Inn Kings Cross neighborhood
King’s Cross is an area in flux. While many Londoners will warn you to stay away from the streets around King’s Cross and St. Pancras stations, the area is in fact only seedy here and there. There are oodles of small bed & breakfasts in the area, as well as upscale restaurants, and a real range of retail, from news agents, to shops peddling ethnic goods, to chain stores. King’s Cross benefits from proximity to Bloomsbury, and offers hotels that are, on average, quite a bit less expensive.
