To get there and to walk the shortest distance, get a bus 214 from King's Cross and alight at City Road and then walk along Central Road and you will see the hotel. The nearest underground station is Old Street or Barbican or Angel.
The reception and lobby of the hotel looks modern and spacious. It feels comfortable as I enter the hotel. At the check-in counter, the staffs are friendly, courteous and attentive. The one at London Ryan was flirting with the bell boy when I was at the counter checking-in, and that's the one and only one staff for check-in at London Ryan.
The room rates usually includes buffet breakfast. There's a wide selection of hot and cold breakfast. You can have English breakfast or continental breakfast. There's cold cuts and cheese. Selections of cereals is excellent too.
I booked the economy room. It was a small room with bathroom and toilet. There's a bath tub too! In the room, there's tea and coffee making facilities, trousers press, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, small safe, small desk, phone, TV.
The room looks new and clean. The bathroom is not very crammed. The walls to the next room is very thin. I was unfortunate on one occasion having a room beside someone who snores loudly. For the whole night, I can hear a man from next door snoring all the way very loudly till morning. I am not eavesdropping mind you... Becareful not to make too much noise in the room... ;-)
Generally I am quite satisfied considering it is London. I would stay there again if the price remains competitive.
