Picking somewhere to stay in London Kings Cross can be a real hard job. There is so much choice. Decide what Kings Cross Hotel will suit you best. Here are five tips to help you pick the best London Kings Cross hotel.
Find out where the hotel St Pancras is located first of all. Google is these days a fantastic little tool to get you started. Specifically Google Directions can be a life saver. Locate the hotel’s postcode and you can work out how far away all the nearby attractions are. For IPhone owners, Google Maps using GPS technology will take you to the door of anywhere! The great thing about it, is it will take you via road or foot to wherever you want to get to.
Secondly, read up on reviews on your selected hotels. Not trying to sell Google, it is the best way to search for hotel reviews! Some websites will give you multiple reviews (and points of view of the same hotel). Remember, some people are impossible to please and whinge at any given opportunity. Bad review doesn’t conclude a hotel is bad. And on the other side of the spectrum, some people are too easily pleased! Take all reviews with a pinch of salt and read as many as you can. If a Kings Cross hotel is good, you should be able to see through a consistent volume of reviews.
Why not as friends for recommendations? If you are in business its likely you will have colleagues that have stayed in Kings Cross hotels before. Quiz them about the experience they had. Of course the benefit of doing this as opposed to reading reviews on the internet is you know your friends and what sort of standards they have. Thus word of mouth being the best way to pick your Kings Cross hotel.
Pick up the phone- how friendly are the staff in reception? First impressions count. Thus calling the hotel is an excellent test. Ask about the hotel and facilities. How knowledgeable are they? What do they know about the local area. Staff that aren’t very helpful, won’t be much more if you are a paying customer. On the other hand, helpful staff are a good indication of what you might expect if you were to stay.
Finally, when you are on the phone, ask about any special offers that are on. Offers might not be advertised on the net. Bear in mind though, hotel room pricing depends very much on availability. Events will bring up prices due to decreased availability- and London is a busy city.
