Affordable hotel has a real edge of quality

It's late as we pull into London and I'm eager to get my head down before the early connection on the following morning's Eurostar.

My port of call for the evening is the Point A hotel near King’s Cross St Pancras – just a short stroll from the international gateway.

On arrival I find it’s more than just a place to sleep - there’s some upbeat socialising in the trendy and welcoming reception area where despite the hour though I’m greeted with a flourish at reception.

I’m soon wishing I had longer to stay as I make my way into a bright, spacious single room which looks shiny new and swish - without too much of London’s perpetual hub-bub to be heard. Many of the hotel’s 251 rooms have stunning views across the London skyline.

There’s a good blend of quality and affordability here that really gives Point A it’s own identity.

Included is free, superfast Wi-Fi, luxury Hypnos beds, a power shower, air conditioning, a safe, hairdryer, 26- or 40-inch smart flat screen TV with multiple channels and neighbourhood information, bedside reading lights, bedside charging points (plug sockets), free bathroom amenities (handwash, shampoo and shower gel), quality towels and bath mat, drop-down desk and folding chair, 40 bedrooms also have mood lighting and USB sockets and accessible rooms have ensuite wet rooms, with power shower, and emergency alarms.

It’s a restorative sleep despite waking at an ungodly 5am and I find another equally as chirpy receptionist bidding me well as I make the very short meander for my connection.
