Guest Reviews
- Isabel (9/5): Personale molto accogliente - La posizione…vicinissima alla metropolitana king cross e comoda per colazioni pranzi o cena Le scale…eravamo all ultimo piano
- David HW (10/5): - As per always, a fantastic room - does exactly what we needed it to - whilst retaining great comfort. Really good breakfast this year as we stay here at least once per year.
Great staff as always - always willing to help. Nothing really, think breakfast could do with scrambled egg being brought back, but apart from that I have no negative views on the place :)
- Sabrina (9/5): c'était parfait à renouveler pour continuer de découvrir Londres - tout était très bien, salle de bain peut être un peu petite pour 3 personnes rien
- David (7/5): -
- Laura F. (6/5): Nel complesso sufficiente. - La struttura è nel complesso sufficiente. Il personale era gentile, sono stata contenta perché il signore della prima notte alla reception parlava italiano! Purtroppo non c'era l'ascensore ma quasi tutti gli alberghi a Londra non ce l'hanno.
In quel quartiere di pomerggio e di sera ci sono persone poco raccomandabili.
- Rebecca (6/5): -
- Vick (5/5): - Location Room was tiny
- Peter (8/5): - location was perfect for my needs
- sally (5/5): -
- Ekaterina (6/5): - Приветливый персонал, месторасположение, цена За исключением ванны и туалета остальное убранство комнаты была довольно старым. Из окна сильно дуло. И дали только одно полотенце.
- Franco Asgad (6/5): -
- David (4/5): Disappointing but convenient location - The location is excellent for St Pancras & King's Cross Stations and the architecture of the building is good. The double bed was very small, but worst was the fact that it had a very old fashioned blanket, rather than a modern duvet, with a cover that can be washed. There was also a lot of noise into late into the night from young people playing loud, annoying music. Finally, the ensuite shower room was tiny, and extremely tight for space.
- Thomas (8/5): A good budget hotel choice for a single traveller in London for a few days - Second visit to the hotel.Upgraded to a bigger room with a view over the square.Room was comfortable and clean with tea and coffe making provided.Small but functional shower area.Location excellent,near main transport hubs,eg.King's Cross,St.Pancras and Euston and many bus routes.For those who like to walk there are many of the main tourist and cultural attractions within a couple of miles and the river and centre are not much further.The staff are on duty 24 hours and all were pleasant and polite.I don't really eat breakfast so didn't book it but it seemed to be reasonably priced for those who wanted it in the hotel. Nothing really.I knew what I was getting as I had been there before and the hotel was fine for my requirements which were basically somewhere to sleep and shower at a good location.I spent most of my time out and about.
- Jeffrey (7/5): Nice budget stay - Near St Pancras International Station, Kings Cross & Euston Underground, luggage storage for 5 pound Bed matras, noisy on streetside
- Neil (9/5): Perfect for a short stay, or overnight, in central London. - Very convenient location, frindly and efficient staff, clean room.
- Discover57393175377 (4/5): Great location - very basic - Positives - great location for St Pancras, friendly reception staff, low price.
Negatives - Groups of lads on the green outside blasting music late at night. Tiny room, small bed, hairs on the top cover. Very warm room. Tiny bathroom, hardly enough space to sit on the toilet.
However, if you aren't fussy, it does the job. If you are, book elsewhere and pay more.
- MARC-EMMANUEL (8/5): Très bien. - Accueil sympathique. Je connaissais déjà cet hôtel, et c'est (encore) mieux, les chambres sont impeccables, propres. Petites mais pratiques. Recommandé. Argyle Square, le square sur lequel donne cet hôtel (et les autres à coté) est de plus en plus bruyant et mal fréquenté, année après année. Ce serait à la ville de Londres de mieux surveiller le lieu, en particulier (toute) la nuit du samedi au dimanche !...
- Michelle (8/5): Great value for money hotel near King’s Cross. - Location, good value for money
- sylvie (7/5): Hôtel simple très bien placé - L'emplacement, très calme , très proche de Saint Pancras Chambre très petite mais correctement équipée
- Zafar (1/5): -
- Hocine (7/5): -
- Olivia (2/5): séjour bien mais hôtel médiocre - La localisation proche de la gare St Pancras Chambre minuscule pour 3 personnes
Chauffage qui ne fonctionnait pas on a eu froid, on a dû demander à l’hôtel de nous mettre un chauffage d’appoint qui fonctionnait
- maury (8/5): -
- Najate (7/5): idéal pour une famille pour un week end - proche de tout. - Emplacement idéal, proche de la gare. On peut y déposer nos bagages si arrivée avant le check in et idem après le check out (5 livres). Très rustique et vieillot. Très peu de confort.
- gwenaelle (7/5): Parfait pour un city trip - Hôtel facile d’accès, avec une façade atypique pleine de charme anglais. Très bien situé, à seulement 5 à 10 minutes à pied de la gare, ce qui est pratique à l’arrivée pour déposer les valises, mais aussi le dernier jour grâce à la possibilité de les laisser à la réception pour 5 € afin de profiter encore un peu de la ville.
La chambre était petite, mais suffisante pour nous puisque nous y étions surtout pour dormir. Il y avait une télévision ainsi qu’un petit plateau café/thé apprécié.
La salle de bain est également assez petite, mais on y trouve l’essentiel : WC, évier et douche.
Nous avons aussi pris le petit-déjeuner : simple mais efficace, avec un peu de charcuterie, fromage, croissants, confiture, céréales, jus et café.
Petit plus pour le personnel, qui était très sympathique et accueillant malgré la barrière de la langue, car nous ne parlions pas anglais.
Dans l’ensemble, un bon séjour, pratique pour un city-trip et très bien placé.
- aux étoiles (9/5): - Proximité de la gare. Rapport qualité prix imbattable ! Amabilité du personnel. Un énorme merci à Michel.
- Peter (6/5): -
- dona ali (9/5): -
- Humam (10/5): -
- Nazaret (5/5): Hotel regular que necesita bastantes mejoras - La ubicación era bastante buena. La atención del personal, excepto de una persona, no fue la mejor.
La habitación no se limpió en los 5 días.
La cama era incomodísima. El colchón era demasiado blando.
Nos cobraron por guardarnos las maletas unas horas tras hacer el checkout.
Nuestra habitación tenía la ventana rota.
- Louis (7/5): - Excellent Placement
Personnel aimable Chambre minuscule sans vue
- Naomi (5/5): -
- Paula (6/5): -
- Susanne (8/5): -
- ESTEBAN LUIS (4/5): - Proximidad a estación de tren y metro Interior muy incomodo y sin espacios comunes. Habitaciones muy pequeñas y sin comodidades
- ESTEBAN LUIS (4/5): -
- Marília Gabriela (6/5): Pratica - Preferi por nao pagar o café da manhã. A localização era impecável e de facil acesso, por ficar quase em frente da estação se locomover era otimo, tinha mercado proximo, um parque em frente. Então se voce busca praticidade e economia é o local ideal. O quarto que escolhi era muito pequeno, o banheiro tinha uma cortina que ficava sempre molhada e nao era interessante. Além disso, era muito dificil subir as escadas com malas e a equipe nao se propôs a me ajudar ja que estava sozinha. A cama e as roupas de cama tambem nao eram maravilhosas, eram ok.
A experiência nao foi ruim, de forma alguma, mas é importante ir nao esperando experiência de um super hotel.
- Mohammed (9/5): -
- Desmond (8/5): Would stay again. - Great location, very clean and pleasant breakfast. Pleasant view. Room a little small but not a problem.
- Carlos (5/5): -
- Federico (5/5): - Se encontraba cerca de la estación St Pancreas y eso permite conexión en transporte público con toda la ciudad Habitación muy pequeña. En segundo piso por escalera muy angosta.
- Kilmany (8/5): -
- FrankJ123 (8/5): Good buy !!! - This is what £75 per night buys you in London and to my mind it’s very good.
It’s clean and tidy, the staff are friendly and it’s in a great location, 5 Mts walk from Kings Cross station, and you can walk to the West End in 20 Mts.
The area was quiet and in my opinion safe.
- Dragana (3/5): - Staff was nice. It is located in a weird neighborhood. I got just one towel and the sheets didn’t seem very clean. So I think for one night it was pricey because of that.
- Theresa (8/5): - Great location, friendly staff. A problem with the TV was sorted out quickly and efficiently. The bed was comfortable, good value for money. Nothing really
- Allison (5/5): - La situation avec la gare Chambre très étroite
Mobilier bancale
L'accueil
- Coşkun (6/5): Na - Clean
Breakfast price is good Need to put water of battle
Slippers for toilet
- Melissa (2/5): Really average - Location- close to station pancreas Pricey, small and noisy
- Elodie (6/5): Bon rapport qualité/prix - La proximité avec la station Saint Pancras
Le petit prix Le lit trop petit
La douche dangereuse (carrelage glissant)
- Martha Beatriz (6/5): Básico, ok, con opciones fáciles para mejorar. - La ubicación está genial. Tienen personal en recepción las 24h que es un plus según qué hora llegues. Es básico pero por el precio es ok, aunque hay cosas que deberían mejorar. Nota: estuve en habitación simple, diría que la más sencilla de todas.
En general es un hotel que por el precio es ok, pero no es para hacer vida en la habitación (al menos la mía), es más para estar todo el día fuera y solo llegar a dormir. Ruido: se escucha mucho ruido del resto de las habitaciones.
Ropa de cama: deberían actualizar la ropa de cama para que se vea más moderno y de impresión de limpieza ( muy antiguo). Dejar dos toallas en el baño porque al ser cortinas se moja todo y hay que secar. No tiene alfombra el baño. Deberían cambiar el soporte de la alcachofa para que se pueda quedar fija pero que permita bañarse y no estar cogiendo la alcachofa con la mano (menos salpicaduras)
- Jackie (5/5): -
- Antonius Theodorus (7/5): -
- Lorenzo (6/5): -
- Katun (9/5): Bah.... - Il personale è stato super accogliente. Dalla reception alle ragazze della colazione la mattina. Stanza piccola e poco funzionale. Il bagno era veramente un buco.
- RAFAEL MANUEL (6/5): -
- Renata (8/5): -
- Marjel (7/5): Prima voor één nachtje. - De lokatie was vlakbij het St Pancras station. Het personeel was vriendelijk. De kamers waren schoon. Het ontbijt was prima. De kamer was wel heel klein voor met zn vieren. Het was allemaal wel wat outdated.
- Craig (6/5): - Good location, safe and secure, rooms were clean, just needs a lick of paint and bedroom furniture. Just a bit dated
- Sandrine (5/5): Correct pour visiter Londres en 4 jours - La proximité des transports
La présence de sanitaires et douches dans le logement
renouvellement de serviettes propres tous les jours
réassort de café, thé, lait... tous les jours Placard cassé, on avait qu'il tombe à chaque fois qu'on l'ouvrait ou fermait
VMC ne fonctionne pas bien, salle de bain humide, et sent l'humidité
Matelas pas très confortable
Isolation sonore de la rue et des voisins, faible
- ANA MARIA (5/5): Correcto - La ubicacion Todo muy justito, para pasar 2 noches mas no,pero calidad precio es lo que hay.
- Jill (6/5): - Friendly and helpful staff
Location very close to St Pancras Bed - short & spring mattress was bad - small blanket9
- Ludovic (7/5): - Concernant la chambre, la taille ça allait. Mais la sdb un peu petite. Taille de la sdb.
- Marlene (3/5): Proche gare - Emplacement
Petit déjeuner
Personnel Lit en 120 pour deux
- Aisha (4/5): -
- Achenza (5/5): Mini mini stanza - Posizione Stanza minuscola nel sottopiano,stufetta per riscaldare la stanza.
- RM (4/5): - Location Room size
Bathroom condition and cleanliness
- SARAH (9/5): - Great location. Very friendly staff. Just what we needed for weekend in London. Bed just a tad to soft.
- Tom (7/5): -
- Lysiane (8/5): - Rapport qualité prix, proximité du métro. Un peu vétuste...
- Phil (6/5): Cheap hotel good for a one nights get stay - Great location reasonable price Very small cramped room but to be fair it’s difficult to find cheap triple or quad rooms in London
- Pat (6/5): Alright for one night, and I was grateful they allowed me to leave my luggage for a few hours on day of departure- for a - Good proximity to St Pancras and Eurostar. Tired, poor decor- curtains and carpets left a lot to be desired
- Manuel (1/5): F-O-U-L - The staff were ok and polite. FOUL. Dirty, small, outdated.
Moldy bathroom, impossible shower, cobwebs, tiny uncomfortable bed, couple fighting at 06am and seemed they were in my minute bathroom (paper walls)! Room service was merely tyding the bed, not a broom or a vacuum used. Window view to a brick wall, cold at night. Surcharge of 5 pounds for them to ‘store’ your luggage after checkout, left down a hallway everyone has access to! London is expensive but this is like a balkan prison and too expensive for the 80 pounds a night! Disgusting, STAY AWAY!
- Marie (6/5): - L'emplacement proche de la gare.
- Maret (7/5): Parfait pour un week-end - Ouvert 24/24, la proximité de la gare, les matelas confortables, le personnel accueillant les deux premiers jours. Le prix très accessible. Équipements vieillissant ( meubles, moquettes au sol, dessus de lit, couvertures) , des frais de garde de bagages pas annoncé à l’arrivée surtout quand on pose la question, pas de tapis de douche alors que demandé, pas de pression dans la douche. Et la porte de la chambre qu’on ne peut pas verrouiller.
- Martine (6/5): - Personnel facilités accès Lit trop petit pour 2 personnes. Fenêtres non étanches au bruit
- Ashwin (7/5): -
- Zurab (10/5): - Wszystko. Prysznic
- David (9/5): - Room had everything I needed
Always hot water and nice breakfast and room serviced daily
- Filipe Moore Bandini (7/5): -
- Bernard (7/5): Super séjour très bon accueil ! -
- sean (8/5): Good for a overnighter - Close to St Pancras plenty of places to grab a bite to eat
It was basic but ok for a nights stop wouldn't want to be there longer than that
Hotel desk was manned at all times which was good Bit small noise at one pint from a large fan
Shower/toilet small
- Alison (10/5): -
- Catherine (7/5): -
- Naushad (3/5): -
- Yung Jhien Renard (6/5): Convenient - Very accessible and the room was clean. You have to pass your keys to the front desk before going out.
- Raffaela (5/5): - L'emplacement est très bien. A trois minutes de King's Cross station Le lit double est vraiment étroit, le matelas n'est vraiment pas confortable.
Et la pression de l'eau dans la douche horrible.
- Pescodd (3/5): OK for price and location for one night. - Its close proximity to St Pancras Railway Station. Price was good for the location. Small bedroom with "wardrobe sized" toilet facilities. Bed coverings of blanket and sheet as opposed to modern day duvet.
Felt like an inprisonment!
- Diane (7/5): For a short one night stop, suited our needs - a clean bed and good location. - Location suited us perfectly as short walking distance to St Pancras. Staff at reception friendly. Room was clean but tiny. Access to the room difficult for seniors with suitcases, narrow corridors, heavy fire doors and steep stairs. No easy access to power points, needed to shift a desk.
- Naushad (4/5): No customers friendly - Location is perfect Not customers friendly ,no welcoming nature of the receptionist ,i booked for 2times and both times feels the same nature with different receptionist
The toilet seat is only apt for child not good
- Rodrigo (8/5): - O café da manhã era excelente, localização absolutamente perfeita, equipe bastante prestativa O que não gostei é que a descarga não estava funcionando corretamente, as vezes sim, as vezes não e a qualidade do hotel era excelente, mas nao condizia com a cortina no chuveiro, o ideal era um box que evita de molhar o banheiro todo
- ruth (10/5): I am so glad I made reservations at the Elmwood hotel. - fantastic location. easy to get to. welcomed with a smile, room perfect. I will stay there again
- Domingo Jr (7/5): -
- Marcus M. (7/5): - Die Lage in London ist hervorragend. Wir haben dieses Hotel aufgrund des attraktiven Preises gewählt und unsere Erwartungen wurden erfüllt. Das Frühstück war zwar übersichtlich, jedoch für 5£ mehr als angemessen. Insgesamt haben wir für den bezahlten Preis genau das erhalten, was wir erwartet haben. Wir würden dieses Hotel bei zukünftigen Aufenthalten erneut in Betracht ziehen.
- Louise (10/5): Staff was very helpful - Room clean, great location and value for money
- James (8/5): Great value for money & really clean - For the money it was excellent - really clean & a great location A bit small & dated
- alice (6/5): ubicacion ideal - Ubicación ideal, al lado del metro pero delante de un parque en un barrio tranquilo la habitación y el baño eran pequeños pero para ir un par de noches es ideal
- Simon (6/5): It's a budget hotel in a great location, you are getting what you pay for. I would visit again. - Great location, easy check in. Friendly staff. Clean. Sadly overslept both nights so can't judge the continental breakfast. It was as I expected it to be Only one medium size towel in the shower room. I was travelling alone, so booked a single room, probably won't do that again as it was a bit cramped.
- Simon (6/5): Bare bones basic room with no frills. - Good location near the station. The most basic of basic rooms. Couldn’t get the kettle to work.
- Callum (7/5): -
- Paul (8/5): - It was really close to King's Cross station and the Underground The bed was to small for 2 people that is my only complaint
