Great value for St.Pancras Eurostar trips!
An early start for the Eurostar was the reason for booking a hotel. The House of Toby was rated highly as being within 350m of St.Pancras station. The welcome on reception was warm and friendly and our room was sensibly proportioned and the shower facilities were first class. The bed was comfortable if a little small. The toilet systern needed attention as it leaked until given a gentle tap. Overall we slept well as the road in which the hotel.sits is nice and quiet. When we left our reception person wished us a pleasant day and he was cheerful and polite. Well worth the price!

This hotel is perfect if you just need somewhere to rest your head. Rooms are pretty small but didnt bother as was arriving late and leaving early. The room door was a bit stiff so you had to push firmer to close, making a bang. Felt it would disturb other guests. Staff were very friendly and welcoming

Great stay
Th staff were extremely friendly and polite. The room was perfectly clean, tidy and modern. Also the bed was very comfy and the bathroom was very well equipped. The only issue was very minor, there was some construction work going on that was quite loud from around 8am. Although the checkout time was 10am, so we were up anyway.
