We had booked into the Albion hotel but on arriving at reception was told we had to stay in the Excelsior. No explanation. Had severe misgivings going to the room as whole place very shabby and unclean. Nice guy on reception but not trained to do his job. Couldn't communicate easily. The room was NOTHING like it is on the... more

I stay at the Excelsior Hotel on a regular basis and cannot fault it. The rooms are spotless and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. It's in a great location just a minute's walk away from King's Cross/St Pancras. Highly recommended. more

Have stayed in the excelsior and its sister hotels several times . I need easy access to central london but also a quite location and without the outragious prices that London hotels usually charge . The Excelsior does the trick for me .Its tucked away in a little tree lined square a minute from Kings Cross . I never knew... more

This 'hotel' was absolutely terrible. We are a party of 3 staying for a weekend (friday and saturday nights). Originally we had booked it due to the convenience of the location and since the shots of the hotel interior showed it to be nice and clean. We were also attracted to the free use of Wi-fi. But when we got... more

I am a frequent traveller for business purposes, visiting Travel Trade Fairs throughout whole Europe. Having a medium range budget i searched for a good bargain but with an acceptable service. This hotel was the worthest experience I ever had. Room size max. 3X3 meters, the whole "bathroom" was as big as my bath-tub at home with an shower directly... more

Dear Sir We can not do anything about the sizes of our rooms . We do know that our single rooms are small, however we only have 2 of these rooms in the entire hotel . As a frequent traveller you should really know that if you wanted a larger room then request a double room for single use ....

I was booked in to stay for two nights and from the website the hotel and rooms looked lovely. It was only when I got there that I learned the Excelsior does not have it's own reception - you have to go to the Albion instead. At reception the man working was abrupt and rude and and looked pretty annoyed... more
