Guest Reviews
- Eva (7/5): Enkelt men prisvärt. - Mycket trevlig personal och perfekt läge nära St Pancras. Helt OK boende i lugna kvarter mitt i London. Frukosten var mycket enkel och rummet trångt. Sängen nästan väl smal för två.
- Dave (9/5): -
- Kenneth Scott (7/5): -
- Graham (9/5): Clean, convenient, value for money - Great location, friendly Staff. Nothing
- Graham (9/5): Great location, great staff- comfy room. - Excellent location- only 10mins walk to Kings Cross. Staff were very friendly. Rooms were well appointed well kept. Nothing really. If they offered a cooked breakfast, we'd have eaten there every morning.
- Binh (8/5): -
- Louise (10/5): Truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful hotel. - Perfect hotel close to King’s Cross. The staff are friendly and professional.
- Hannah (10/5): -
- Oliver (8/5): Die Rezeptionisten waren immer sehr zuvorkommend und helpful. - Die Lage perfekt, sofort am EUROSTAR Bahnhof, wegen des Gepäcks und Zentral um London zu besuchen. Frühstück war sehr günstig und sehr zufriedenstellend, Kaffee gut und reichlich Auswahl an Cerealien und Viennoiserie. Preis-Leistung-Lage top. Könnte ich jetzt nichts sagen. Vielleicht der Ausblick, Londoner Hinterhof, erwartet man sich aber nichts.
- Jeanne (9/5): - Chambre petite, mais bien équipée, très propre et calme. Emplacement proche de la gare.
- Wim (5/5): Zeer matig - Kamer 305 veel te klein voor een eenpersoonskamer voor een 4-sterren hotel.
Geen lift en veel trappen naar 3de verdiep
Overal tapijt dat dringend moest gereinigd worden.
Enkel bij aandringen werden de handdoeken dagelijks ververst.
Standaard worden de bedden en de kamer niet dagelijks gekuist ????, maar om de andere dag.
- Taku (9/5): -
- Yoong Hong (3/5): The worst hotels i stayed during my 2 weeks holidays.. - Only location is ok.. Faulty power (110/230V) sockets, and merely functional water shower (need strong arm strength to turn on or off).. room was not cleaned properly.. and very very small room for such pricing point, the worst hotels i stayed during my 2 weeks holidays..
- Mireille (8/5): Super plan pour un arret rapide a cote de la gare - a quelques minutes a pied de la gare de St Pancras, ultra pratique pour une nuit. Accueil très attentionné 24h/24. Petit mais bien équipé avec SDB super propre. Bouilloire avec the et cafe dans la chambre.
Prix de la chambre ultra compétitif. Petit dej en sus aussi (pas teste) chambre sur cour calme mais très mal insonorisée sur le couloir (claquement de portes des chambres avoisinantes). Petit lit, version train couchette. OK pour une nuit.
- Chris (4/5): Was basic, but not recommended - I faced the main road - very noisy. The room was basic, and essentially clean, but there was no plug in the basin
- Camila (8/5): -
- Jacob (9/5): -
- Amy (7/5): Clean, friendly but don't book a single room if you are tall. - The reception was very friendly and the location was good for the event I attended. The room was miniscule. Being tall, I had to bend my legs to fit in the bed.
- Jeroen (7/5): -
- Kelly phillips (10/5): - Perfect for if you're travelling from St Pancras early in the morning, the man on reception was really helpful and the room was small but clean and cosy- all we needed Nothing
- Emma (5/5): It was fine for one night, staff friendly. - Good location for Kings Cross/St Pancras, quiet. Small bed, only air conditioning blower heating, no radiators.
- Ye (5/5): - Staff is helpful. I was given a basement room. The room is not comfortable.
- Frederic (7/5): -
- Dr. Hermann (4/5): - Good price but not a safe area Service staff
- Liane (9/5): -
- Talenti (7/5): Good - Location, helpful staff Small room, price
- Jindrich (9/5): Great location and very kind receptionists - Very kind and helpful hotel staff Initial room was quite small but we received a bigger one for next nights
- Jonathan (10/5): - Perfect location near Kings Cross, friendly and available front desk staff, and a clean and nice room.
- Donnacha (7/5): I'll be back and book direct with them, its less expensive. - Friendly staff and a convenient location. room was small but I wasn't expecting it to be big.
- Anushka (7/5): Good, convienient for a short stay - It was clean and a great location. The rooms were small
- Linda (6/5): -
- Birgit (6/5): Fine for a short trip when mostly being out the of town. - The location close to the station and the kindness of the staff Very pricy for being a friendly but very simple place
- Martinez (2/5): -
- Simon (8/5): -
- Julien (7/5): Très bien accueilli et hôtel sympathique pour découvrir Londres simplement - Nos avons apprécié l’emplacement qui permet d’être proche de tout et rapide d’accès par rapport à la gare, le fait de pouvoir laisser nos bagages même la chambre rendu afin de pouvoir profiter d’une dernière visite journalière avant le départ et le personnel agréable. Le petit déjeuner mériterais d’être un peu plus varié et surtout avec des spécialités plus locales, peut être plus préciser le fait que les escaliers sont importants (pour nous pas de problème mais aurait pu l’être avec d’autres personnes) et préciser aussi que la salle de bain est très étroites (encore une fois nous pas de soucis mais cela aurait pu être un soucis pour d’autres)
- Olivier (7/5): -
- Isaac Sheung Yee (6/5): - Staff were lovely The rooms were absolutely tiny. No amenities
- Rhonda (10/5): We would stay again if the opportunity arises - We really appreciated we could pay to leave our luggage for a couple of days while we went on the Channel tunnel to Paris. N/a
- Stephen (8/5): Good stay noisy road - Easy to check in. Spacious rooms Noisy road outside but not end of the world.
- Julie (10/5): It was a nice surprise to be upgraded . Lovely room . Would definitely stay there again . - Very quirky hotel and like the character of it . Excellent location. Nothing
- Elaine (8/5): Convenient location, reasonably price and nice staff - Great location and nice hotel Nothing
- Nicola (9/5): Excellent care and support from the staff as always - Always love coming here
- Delphine (9/5): Ce sera désormais mon pied à terre de l'hyper centre de Londres! - Chambre spacieuse pour le centre de Londres, moderne et propre, literie très confortable.
Le personnel a été très sympathique et aux petits soins, ils se sont débrouillés pour que j'aie une chambre au rez afin de ne pas avoir à monter d'escaliers vu que j'avais des soucis de mobilité.
Bien que la chambre donne sur la rue, elle était bien insonorisée et donc calme. Quelques relents peu agréables dans la salle de bain à l'arrivée, mais qui passaient après avoir laissé couler la douche pendant quelques minutes.
- Ralf (8/5): Gutes Hotel, nicht sehr gut aber alles ok - Sehr gute Lage, guenstiges Fruehstueck. Kleines Zimmer (war aber auch so gebucht). Etwas abgewohnt.
- Valentina (8/5): -
- wijnand (9/5): Komen zeker terug! - Gastvrijheid. Personeel is vriendelijk is ook altijd aanwezig en behulpzaam.
- Quintin (8/5): Very affordable, clean and comfortable - Great location, 5 min walk to St Pancras.
- Marc (9/5): -
- Roslyn (6/5): Comfortable lovely staff and well located but a little shabby in parts - The curtains were quite dirty at the bottom whixh wouldn't have been an issue except that the bed was pushed right up to the window. It gave an overall vibe of slightly shabby which was a shame as the hotel is pleasant.
- Daan (8/5): Small room, but more than excellent decor, location and staff. - Walking distance to King's Cross and pancras international, and plentyof shops, restaurantsand cafés. You are in the city, but don't notice it in your room, very nice decor, friendly and attentive staff, excellent selection of drinks at the bar. Very Good price quality, you've got everything you need. The single rooms is small, not necessarily a issue, but something to keep in mind.
- Mark (8/5): -
- Baker (9/5): - Nice and clean. Staff were lovely.. The weird smell.... like sewage. Subtle but noticeable
- David (5/5): - Location was good for getting to the station . Shower in room was good. We didn't like the room being outside the building and awkward steps to access it. We had a big noisy generator immediately outside our room. The room was small and decor dinghy .
- Hannan (9/5): Great location friendly staff! - The location was perfect to catch the Eurostar early hours! Staff were so friendly too! Only negative was the fans outside our room they were loud at some points during the night
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Aafje (9/5): - extremely friendly staff, smiling, rooms clean, quiet, great location nothing comes up
- Serra (7/5): Konumu nedeniye yeniden değerlendirilebilir. - Çalışanlar çok yardımsever ve sıcakkanlıydılar. Otelin konunu iyi. Sessiz. Yatakları rahattı Oda çok sıkışık ve dardı. Otel de öyle. Asansör yok.
- Alexandra (8/5): -
- Jegus (9/5): - The location was great, just a couple of minutes from kings cross and st pancras.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
All in all, great value for money and would definately stay here again.

- HOPWOOD (8/5): -
- Alex (8/5): Perfect location for our needs, friendly and helpful staff. Great central location. - Stayed in a family room which was very clean and comfortable beds.
The staff were really welcoming, friendly and helpful. Lovely folk.
Didn't have the breakfast, so can't comment. The shower handle was quite tight, so took a little while to get working, but otherwise really lovely.
- esther (9/5): Gut zu empfehlen ! - Sehr nettes Personal ; sehr tolle Lage; tolles sauberes Zimmer Kann nichts bedenken , war einfach top
- Radu (10/5): -
- Baptiste Delalin (10/5): -
- Shaun (5/5): -
- Louise Katerega (10/5): Total Gem - Second time here. Brilliant location. Brilliant price for London and the high standard that it is. Cosy little bar space for chatting in. Nothing.
- Nick (8/5): -
- Jeroen (8/5): - Good location, very friendly staff and very tidy rooms.
- Leo (10/5): -
- Vilma (7/5): - Very convenient location near King’s cross, nice and quiet room and friendly staff. The room smelled quite bad (like damp from the bathroom) when the window was left closed, so we had to open it to ventilate.
- Rosanna (9/5): Based on Staff and location, I would stay again. - Location is great.
Front desk staff wonderful! Room was a little small.
- Richard (8/5): - The staff were very pleasant and helpful
- Jenny (8/5): Great little hotel, resonantly priced for London. - Comfortable bed with good en-suite shower.
- Noemie (8/5): -
- Jenny (8/5): -
- Chris (10/5): Lovely hotel, great location - Lovely hotel,and very welcoming staff. Great location for King's Cross/ St Pancras stations. Would recommend Nothing, was all good
- Lely (7/5): -
- Lisette (10/5): Dikke prima! Echte aanrader! - Het personeel was super vriendelijk!!! Alles was prima in orde!!! De kamer was super schoon!!!
- dai (7/5): -
- Dan (6/5): Very charming and comfortable stay. - Very well presented decoration and style of furnishings and artwork. The room wasn’t the one I booked and the numbering is not easy to find my room at first and there is no lift so if you need a room request one on the ground or lower floors. Also the kettle in my room was faulty which I reported to the owner and who was able to assist.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Perfect overnight for Eurostar - House of Toby is well situated for Kings+/St Pancras & a very friendly, helpfully staffed, small hotel. The room was comfortable & very clean. Bit cramped, but fine for an overnight stay for Eurostar.
- Rossana (10/5): Comodidad y buena atención. - La ubicación. Me gustó el alojamiento.
- Gordon (1/5): Claustrophobia inducing uncomfortable stay. Avoid. - Nothing This clearly is some sort of scam type hotel. The rooms are incredibly incredibly small. I have no doubt lots of laws and regulations have been circumvented. I doubt this is up to a fire standard too. My check in style suitcase of 23kg couldn't be opened in the hotel - thats now small the rooms are.
THERE IS NO lift. You will need to carry your suitcases up the many flights of stairs.
The shower hot water didn’t turn off when I was there, and after it being fixed, I nearly burned my hand trying to turn it off again.
Again the bathroom is so small the shower doesn’t fully open, hitting the wall.
Staff were weird. Every time I entered or left the hotel they asked me to show my room key and give them my room number. Very strange and it didn’t feel welcoming at all.
- Stephen (8/5): -
- Stephen (7/5): Good value, ok location for KX station. - Friendly welcome Room too small.
- Marcel (7/5): - leuke locatie, prima bereikbaar vanaf Kings Cross gehorig
- Sara (7/5): Good value - Good location, comfy bed and friendly staff. Air conditioning The decor was a bit tired and the curtains were dirty
Very small room and bathroom but understandable as room price was reasonable .
- Nathalie (6/5): Hôtel ne correspond pas à un 4etoiles - L emplacement Chambre en sous-sol le 1er soir et pas d ascenseur
- Ramon (7/5): - Coma cómoda Limpieza habitación
- Gary (8/5): Affordable and convenient Kings Cross - Well located. On checkout we were able to store our luggage for free and enjoy our day in London before our departure The room was very small, but as asvertised. An extra 50cm would have made a big difference.
- Vighnesh (8/5): -
