Choosing Kings Cross hotels is difficult because of the sheer amount of choice you have. So how does one go about picking the right hotel? You can look at the location or reviews - two of many ways to pick. The following five pointers should help you along. When it comes to picking a hotel in Kings Cross, one thing to consider is that pricing dictates availability. When big events are on, hotels are normally crammed with tourists looking for overnight accomodation. And with increased demand, hotels put their prices up. On the other side though, cheaper rooms can be found off-peak. Once you have a clear idea of pricing and availability, you can compare the hotels that tick the box. Assuming the hotel has one, log onto its website to check their ammenities. Listing these facilities for each hotel against each other should give you a good comparison on value for money. It's also worth considering some amenities are worth more than others. As an example, I know I'd rather have a trouser press than a TV. Depending on which way you are inclined, most people would prefer a bar to a garden. I suppose that really does come down to personal preference! The most important part of a hotel for me is good staff. Ringing reception and enquiring about the hotel is always a good idea. This gives you an excuse to confirm the facilities but also lets you gage the staff's knowledge of the local area. Polite, happy staff will make a stay a most enjoyable one.Location is key to any hotel. What's the point of staying in a hotel otherwise? A hotel within walking distance to Kings Cross train station is a good idea, as the Underground links can take you to pretty much anywhere in London in around an hour (or minutes for some areas). Google Maps can tell you what is near such as bars and restaurants. Though if using a taxi isn't a bad option, then location isn't as important. Traveling via taxi in the evening is also a good idea for safety. A hotel review says a lot about the accomodation. Using Google, you'll find a plethora of hotel review sites. Some hotels will also have their own guestbook for feedback, although be wary this may be moderated to some degree. Friends can also give you an idea of what is good and what isn't. Although always take word of mouth with a pinch of salt. Some people are very difficult to please.
