"Standard rooms at this friendly hotel face the bustle of Oxford Street. It’s worth paying a tiny bit more for a garden room which overlooks the courtyard and swimming pool."

"Two blocks north of the edgier, more sophisticated Medusa, on the southern boundary of Kings Cross, this property is more laid-back and better equipped than its sophisticated sibling Diamant Hotel." Full review
