What a warm welcome from Front of House! My bag was whisked to my first-floor room with a wonderful view of the garden square. Everything was spotlessly clean, the room has some quirky rather engrossing art, the shower was good and strong ... can recommend the Melville for anyone who fancies a night or three in a really good part of town.

A family with 3 adults staying for 3 nights. 1.Shallow and smaller then A4 paper basin, water splash all over your body. 2.I tried to remove the bath mat as I not get use to it, shocked to uncover the shower floor was broken. The mat was deliberately used for covering it up. Hair all stuck on the mat. 3.Table with a cup of coffee and an ashtray full of cigarettes in the front yard during check in, disgusting. 4.Broken lightbulb on the front yard floor, no fixing. 5.Light outside the entrance door covered with spiderweb. 6.No toilet paper and paper roll holder. 7.1 floor towel and 3 big towels on the first night. Host reluctantly gave us 3 more towels on the second night upon requests and specifying he will NOT provide us any more towels. I felt so bad begging for towels. One of the towels gave us on the second night were stained, disgusting. Description of the hotel amenities is cheating, please specify towels only available on the first day ONLY. 8.Sofa and chair with yellow stains. potato chips found on the sofa and the floor, clearly no/rough cleaning or sanitzing work. 9.We got 5 hangers, 3 of them were from fitting room with logos and printed size labels.Crazy. 10.I travelled with parents age 65 , I deliberately asked the host for the no of stairs. They said my room is on the G/F with just 3 steps, omitting the up and downstairs along the corridor. I knew your staff are willing to help on luggages, but a genuine answer to my query is a matter of honesty that I concern.

We arrived and went to our room. The bathroom lights and the power plugs were not working. I notified them and they moved us to a room without ac. The beds were like futons, the wood floors were worn off stain, bathroom shower had black mold in corners. The decor of our room was unmatched. The area was quiet and very convenient to kings cross station.

Back to basics
I suspected when I booked that it was a basic hotel. However if you have a basic hotel, you must get the basics right. Very few channels worked on the TV. The shower temperature could not be regulated and was far too hot to use. So this did little to help. Having said that, the staff were outstanding and were so helpful.

I requested extra blanket and pillow but when I asked at desk they were just telling me Hôtel is full. Eventually I got an extra pillow- I also asked about an adapter and was told just bit one because people don’t return them. How about u put a pending charge on my account and when o return it you take back the charge? Many hotels in Canada do this type of thing for tv etc Also speaking of tv the connection was spotty. We tried to fix it and unplugged it and re plugged it as it said on tv to do- Also we were told water maybe best to buy. A complimentary bottle would have been great. The coffee machine was great! I recommend putting bigger cups beside it as the small glass ones overflowed. I did find bigger ones in the cupboard. Over all ok I guess for one night close to the station.

The property was in a great location although situated opposite a park frequented by homeless types who were noisy throughout the night. The reception and staff were faultless. The room was clean, but tired and sparse. There was no plug in the sink, the shower head was broken and a lat or two missing from the window shutters.

Convenient location but nothing else good to say.
The room was tiny beyond belief with no ventilation or even a fan during a heat wave. The bathroom was miniaturised - even the toilet was smaller than normal! The smallest handbasin ever too. Oh and all the corners of the shower were thick with black mold. I have seen worse hotel rooms in London, but not this century!! Not sure how someone could stay there more than a few hours, to be honest. The bed was a cheap piece of rubbish too with a mattress that collapsed in the middle and some cheapo metal base which gave no extra support at all. Avoid!!!

Okay for a short stay.
We booked here for an overnight stay with our grandchildren to visit London. The price was very competitive for a family room. It was nice that we had a kitchenette with sink, microwave, kettle & coffee machine. A iron & ironing board are available and a hairdryer if needed. There was also a patio door leading to a small patio area with seating, which was shared with the opposite room. Unfortunately we had a problem with ants, which I guess can happen anywhere. The room wasnt perfect, cleanliness couldve been better by sides of beds and underneath and rugs were poorly placed and a potential trip hazard (attention to detail)....Wallpaper coming away from wall...Not all lights working. That said, beds were clean and comfortable. The room itself is a good size with 2 double beds. Bathroom was extremly small, it is a unit installed into the room, much like a caravan style, but honestly, if you just need a place to stop over at a reasonable price, its okay, though if you're like a size 2XL or larger, you'd have trouble trying to move around in there. I'd rather have had this in the room though, than to share a bathroom with other guests, so that's something to bear in mind. Bottom line: I loved the art deco style of the room and outside area & having a kitchenette and somewhere private to get clean, albeit extremely small. I was disappointed by the attention to detail, things that could easily be rectified without huge costs and the prescence of ants.
