Hub by Premier Inn London King’s Cross

The hotel rooms are compact yet efficiently designed, featuring a bed, under-bed storage, a 40-inch smart TV, air conditioning, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. Touchscreen panels let you control lighting and temperature. Bathrooms are equipped with monsoon showers and there are hairdryers in the room. Tea and coffee-making facilities are not provided in-room, but free hot drinks are available in the lounge on the ground floor. The hotel has a contemporary modern decor with clean lines and a neutral colour palette.

The hotel doesn’t have a lot of public areas, although there is a ground-floor lounge area with a bar and restaurant. A buffet breakfast costs an additional £8 per person and there is a dinner menu that includes curry, pasta and pizza, although there is a pizza restaurant next door that’s probably a better option than dining in the hotel. Guests have access to free tea and coffee in the lounge area.

The immediate vicinity around the hotel is a mix of residential and commercial and it is close to the London Canal Museum and the hotel is also close to Regents Canal. Other points of interest nearby include the British Library, which is a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and the Charles Dickens Museum and the Wellcome Collection, which are both a 15-minute walk away.

It is also very close to King’s Cross and St Pancras railway stations, which are both around a five-minute walk from the hotel. These two stations serve many destinations north of London and they also handle high-speed trains to Kent and Eurostar trains to Amsterdam, Brussels, Lille and Paris.

Even if you’re not travelling by train, the location is handy as it is close to London’s most connected tube station, which is served by more lines than any other station on the London Underground. That means that you can get to most places in London without having to change trains.

Overall, the hub by Premier Inn London King’s Cross is a practical choice for travellers seeking a well-connected base in London. While it lacks some amenities found in larger hotels, its location and efficient room design make it suitable for short stays focused on exploring the city.
