Convenience is key
Location is prime as it is a stone throw away from King's Cross and access the the international trains into Europe, always a good back up when you have an early train in the morning

Great location, affordable character
With warm greetings from staff upon arrival, The California, hosting some 60 rooms, is old-world boutique hotel, a comfy couch with a few bare threads in a location that’s hard to beat and a cozy patio for a coffee and croissant. The connected townhouses hide a warren of hallways and stairs where every room is different and reflects the cubicle style that seems to be rage.

Oh friends.......the bathroom doors are made of frosted glass. So if you are traveling with friends and you want some privacy - you won't have it. The door is almost translucent as soon as it gets steamy in the bathroom from a shower. Not to mention, it doesn't block out any noises, so I hope you are SUPER comfortable with whomever you are traveling with. This is my only complaint about the hotel, otherwise I liked it. I enjoyed this hotel's closeness to Kings Cross/St Pancras - it made train travel super easy.
