THE ROKXY TOWNHOUSES & RESIDENCES - KINGS CROSS, London

The hotel occupies a quiet Victorian townhouse on Argyle Square, providing a calm retreat steps away from two of London's busiest transport hubs. British Library is a five-minute walk, and the shops of Bloomsbury are reachable within ten minutes. Several restaurants, pubs, and a supermarket are within a short radius (Pizza Union, The Megaro, The Harrison, Isla). For drivers, paid on-site parking is available by reservation (£6/hour), while free street parking is an option outside peak hours (Monday-Friday after 18:30, weekends from 14:00 Saturday). The area is well served by Uber bikes and has a secure, quiet atmosphere at night.

Rooms vary significantly in size and character. The penthouse and suites offer generous space with living areas, kitchenettes, and patios or terraces, while compact single or crash-pad rooms are ideal for short solo stays. Some basement rooms receive minimal natural light and have small windows; ground-floor front rooms may have reduced privacy due to shutters. All rooms include a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, hairdryer, free toiletries, and bathrobes. Rooms on higher floors are quieter, as the building's historic construction can transmit noise from neighbouring rooms and plumbing. Each room has air conditioning (some units have only a fan), soundproof walls, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a minibar, tea-and-coffee maker, and an ironing kit. USB and multiple charging points are provided. Some rooms feature a record player with a small vinyl selection. For travellers over 1.8 m, certain standard rooms may feel cramped, especially the bathroom. A ground-floor queen ensuite is available for those with mobility concerns.

No restaurant, bar, or formal breakfast service operates on site. However, each room is stocked with a free mini-bar containing soft drinks, beer, wine, crisps, and chocolate, replenished on request. A freshly made cucumber sandwich and a welcome gift (often Fortnum & Mason jam) greet guests upon check-in. Each morning between 08:00 and 08:30, a trolley with a pot of hot tea, biscuits (e.g. Oreo cookies), and a newspaper is placed outside the room. The room also includes a Nespresso machine, electric kettle, microwave (in apartments), and kitchenware for self-catering. For a fuller meal, the surrounding streets (within 0.5 km) offer numerous restaurants, pubs, and cafés.

The hotel does not have a spa, wellness centre, or swimming pool. For recreation, a small games room on the upper floor houses retro arcade machines (e.g. Street Fighter, Pac-Man) and board games. There is a picnic area outside, and temporary art galleries may be available on site (free). The quiet Argyle Square park opposite offers a green space for relaxation. Bicycle rental is available for an additional charge.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. A 24-hour front desk, concierge, and private check-in/out are complemented by digital door codes for total autonomy. Luggage storage is free and can be arranged before check-in or after check-out (bag pick-up service until 23:00). Daily housekeeping is provided, with towel changes daily and linen changes every three days. Additional services (payable) include grocery deliveries, dry cleaning, and ironing service. The hotel has accessible and electric vehicle charging parking. Security features include key card access, CCTV, smoke alarms, and 24-hour security. Accepted payment methods include all major credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, etc.).
