At 4-stars and reasonably highly rated, my expectations were higher. The location is not convenient for to any Underground locations, requiring a 10-12 minute walk to either of the closest. The area does not have many shops or restaurants, it's mostly a quiet residential area. On the map it looked like it would be more central than it felt. And don't be mislead by the name King's Cross... It's certainly not named after the station, it's named after the road.
