Good stuff: cleanliness and friendliness

Bad stuff: somewhat cramped room

Overall: Booking was easy; staff was very friendly; room was very clean, though the single room I had was quite small and the shower facilities (though clean) was very cramped. Those drawbacks, however, are more than compensated for by the proximity to my place opf research, the British Library.

Guests Name: Jonathan  Guest was travelling as: Young couple

Good stuff: I was impressed with the location and the overall look of the hotel. I have stayed in Kings Cross in the past and I admit that I was worried about the location, however the Howard Winchester is in a nice area and we felt safe walking back from the station at night.

Bad stuff: Everything exceeded our expectations. I would only improve on the beds (although compfortable) they are a bit old. The shower nozzle ran like a hose rather than a shower. The room in general was great! We liked the modern colours.

Overall: Well from the previous reviews I read before booking the Howard Winchester I felt that it was the best for my price range. After staying at the hotel I am very satisfied and look forward to staying again. The room we stayed in was a nice size and very compfortable. I would suggest providing coffee making facilities and an additional power socket as there is only one for the TV. These are the only improvements I would have appreciated...however too petty to really complain about.

Good stuff: Plenty of hot water, Location to Underground at Kings Cross

Bad stuff: Friendliness

Overall: Room smelt as if closed up for a long time, I think due to the carpet which smelled of stale smoke

Guests Name: Stewart  Guest was travelling as: Solo leisure traveller

Good stuff: The price and location

Bad stuff: Cleanliness, staff attitude

Overall: I have stayed in budget hotels before so I know that they are basic and I don't expect much but hygene is one thing that I do expect. The Howard winchester is simply unclean. In my room there was mould growing around the window, the any surface you ran your finger across was filthy, there were stains on th bed covers and the wall paper. It is dirty and I'm suprised I didn't catch anything. Also the attitude of one member of staff was quite shocking. An old Italian woman who asks whos response to a complaint about the central heating not working was to open a window. she would also moan if she had to open the entrance door for you and ask what are you doing back at this time or what are you doing, and she sits and glares at you while you eat your breakfast.
