Malmaison London
The breakfast was the worst part of the trip but by no means a deal breaker. The pastries looked unappealing and coffee was from a machine, and not a good one. Didn't try the cooked breakfast but the bar was great for dinner so that might be the way to go.

Hub By Premier Inn London King's Cross
Great location that is walkable distance to St Pancreas station if traveling to other countries through Eurostar. Spacious room. Only complaint was water pressure on faucet for your hands was a little sparce.
