We stayed here for one night for a works do that was arranged locally. Excellent location, right next to the Tube station. The rooms were very basic, the bathroom was very small and compact. I was staying with a close friend which was just as well, as you didn't really have much room to get ready. But hey - I... more

We arrived at the Hotel California and was greeted by a friendly woman on reception. She checked us in and had no problems. The hotel room was tiny, with a double bed and a desk. There was no coffee/tea making facilities in the room. The bathroom was clean but very basic. We were only staying one night for a quick... more

Liked the tiled-floor public areas and good buffet breakfast. Single room was tiny and cramped but was survivable for a one-night stay. Convenient location near Kings Cross. more

I stayed at this hotel for 2 separate nights on the way to and from Belgium on the Eurostar, the location was ideal as St Pancras international was a 2 minute walk away. From the outside the hotel looks inviting and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. I was accompanied by my 83 year old mother which made... more

We checked in early, received a friendly welcome and were allowed to leave our luggage in the store room until check in time. Stairs were very difficult to manouver with anything but hand luggage or for anyone a bit out of shape. I had a small single room at the front facing the street. The room was hot and noisy.... more

Arriving and looking from the outside this hotel looked lovely once you got inside you soon see why most of the reviews are correct. It's small, dirty and smells foul. When they were cleaning our room while we were out they left the door wide open with all our belongings in it, so it was open for all to see... more

Good things first: the location is great! Tube station is basically 1 min away. Kings Cross is not the most glamorous area of London, but the connections to other parts of the city or other cities are excellent. I usually have troubles sleeping in London because of the traffic noise, but the streer was seriously quite. Major plus in London.I've... more

We arrived to a friendly greeting, however once we negotiated the very narrow stairs which were fairly grimy and went through the door to the corridor to our 2nd floor room we were initially met with a smell of stale cigarettes and body odour. Once in our room which was quite small, the carpets were threadbare and the bathroom so... more
