The property was ideally located, near the King's Cross Tube Station and St.Pancras International, making it easy to get anywhere in the city, and get out of the city quickly with no fuss. The accomodtion was simple and just what was needed....

Stayed one night at the California for convenience as had an early Eurostar to Paris. In my view it is overpriced but just needed a bed. Ideal for transport links but wouldn't pick to stay for a longer break. Couldn't fault the members of staff all very helpful. Construction ongoing outside the hotel but wasn't a problem and even though near Kings Cross relatively peaceful at night.

Rooms are small, hot and loud (construction going on just outside our window) and beds are not very comfortable. But it was inexpensive so we got what we were looking for.

The people at the front desk were great and very helpful, when we got there, there were two little packets of instant coffee in our room, but we never did get anymore, and we were there for three nights. The hotel was really close to the metro and we liked that a lot. The room was very small but it was clean.

I was looking for a simple, inexpensive room for one person for a brief transit to the Eurostar, and this was perfect. Small basement room was quiet. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Front staff was kind and helpful. Reception was open 24 hours. Location for St Pancras station could not be better.

We only stayed for a night. We were a family of 4 and had a large room with lots of space! The only problem was our bathroom door was completely see-through. We had to hang a towel up for privacy and it was still awkward. Although the rooms were large, the hallways and stairwell were pretty narrow and there were no elevators for our luggage. Place is quiet and close to a number of restaurants and conveniently located across Kings Cross station.
