California Hotel

throughly enjoyable (97503710)

Location Value for money Large room Good breakfast wide selection

Radiator needed a good clean in Bathroom

Staff courteous and efficient. Hotel clean and good value for money; very handy for St Pancras station. We would not stay at the hotel again unless we were allocated a room on the ground floor. (97505791)

Cleanliness, accessibility of mainline trains, helpful staff.

Climbing stairs with heavy suitcases was a problem for us.

The reception was very helpful, The room is fine but the bathroom needs a good clean and some maintaince, The breakfast is very good, Staff fine. (97710070)

Its so close to Kings cross station.

Bathroom needed a good clean.

Great location,very nice staff,room and beds very clean,also bathroom was a very good size,with a bath and shower,which worked a treat.Dining/bar area seemed good aswell,cant say anything about the breakfast as we had no intention of getting up for it:),as there are very good cafes in the vicinity. Will use again and would recommend it to anyone. (97701937)

Proximity to kings cross and euston stations,which are ideal for getting around London.

There was nothing to dislike.

Better than expected as negative reviews made me anxious however I feel you could address some of the repetative negative points that are fed back! WD40!!! (97507648)

Able to accommodate a family of 5!!!

Not enough pillows, creaky beds and doors, double bed was a camp bed, poor quality mattresses, noise from underground at night

It fitted a need which was proximity to the station. It would have helped to know about car parking - the nearest/cheapest The room was in the basement so we needed to keep the cutains closed as it looked on to the main street. Breakfast was disappointing. They did not have some basic cooking equipment that would have made a difference, eg no toaster - there was a pile already cooked that was going cold and damp (97846547)

It was very handy for St Pancras station. Staff were good

It was a basement room with a step down to get into the bathroom. The extractor fan in the bathroom was very noisy. the decor was 70's originals. The food fo rbreakfast was dry and not always hot. The full english breakfast was poor.

No overall comment. (97420022)

Made to feel welcome. Staff very helpful. Hotel was handy for the station

No overall comment. (97769835)

close to kings cross,very clean and tidy,good breakfast

having to hand keys in when going out of hotel, only one pillow per person

Curtains in room did not work. Carpets very stained. TV reception not good. Reception staff were dressed too casually - tracksuite. Reception staff were helpful though. Room was relatively clean but very old and creaky. Breakfast was good. (97396445)

Breakfast was quite good

Room was terrible. Staff were very casual.

on arrival my wife and i were alocated a double room with ensuite facilities the bathroom door was broken the toilet didnt flush and the room in general unpleasant we asked to be changed to another which was better but was a twin room luckily we only needed a bed for the night and didnt really have to spend much time in the hotel so for that reason alone it was just adequate on returning back to hotel at night we had to go to a bar a short distance away for a drink so i dont think we will return. breakfast good though!!! (97907014)

it was in a convieniet location

no bar facilities

a hotel bar would have been nice to relax in decor needs updating and bathroom was very cold Staff were very nice though you never saw the same person twice. Corridors very narrow not for the large person (97806964)

very basic could be updated and painted

No overall comment. (97633023)

Clean rooms and beds and very close to St Pancras station.

No overall comment. (97277650)

the staff was very polite and helpfull

the rooms were a bit on the small side but as we were only sleeping there it wasnt a problem but carring the case up to the forth floor wasnt good the breakfast was good but could do with more cereal choice but the english was ok the beds were comfy and clean

I found the hotel to be handy for transport. And the surrounding area had an excellent choice of pubs and eateries to suit most tastes. (97054861)

Clean and tidy

Perhaps an extra pillow on the beds.That apart it was OK.

good value for money breakfast nice central location easy access from railway (97394887)

value for money

bathroom not very well cleaned or equiped

No overall comment. (97881864)

quiet, close to st pancras station and tube

breakfast was limited, especially for asians.

No overall comment. (97510726)

It was basic but generally ok.It was very basic but did the job as a overnight room

The dining room staff in flip flops and dirt socks, breakfast was flat cold and staff in dining room a bit rude.

Functional night as required. Room smelt of cigarettes which was disappointing. (97236035)

Cheap accommodation with en suite facilities and a cooked breakfast

Smelt of cigarettes.

excellent experience, would definitley go there again (97845857)

spacious and ensuite bathroom

I would have liked more precise information with regard to the payment of the Congestion Charge. Directions for payment were very vague and quite inadequate from the hotel. I had never experienced a congestion charge before, always previously travelling to the City by train. We were looking for a functional hotel and this fulfilled that requirement. It was close to our first call in the morning and was extremely quiet at night. (97310620)

It was adequate and quiet

Would have benefitted with a breath of fresh air

Good choice for a short break with its close location to tube. Overall good value for money. Bedrooms small but adequate. Good beakfast. (97384119)

The hotel is just a short walk from Kings Cross station and underground making it easy to travel around Lomdon

No overall comment. (97703383)

close to st pancras - breakfast was good

the beds were uncomfortable

Overall a positive experience. Room served the purpose but was small and noisy at times. (97269076)

good location. efficient helpful staff

noisy room (?generator or machinery heard at regular intervals)

No overall comment. (97089592)

very small room ,only one towel hot water running cold ,had shower in cold water No proper area to hang clothes

Staff were freindly but hotel needs a thorough clean. (97192795)

Staff were friendly, Book in & out was efficient.

Shower was filthy, it was hanging from an unfinished ceiling & the drainhole was blocked with hair and debris, this took ages to soak away. the towel rail had come off the wall and was left on top of the wardrobe. Also no hot water in the sink early in the morning.

The breakfast was the worst i have ever had.Cold plates,overcooked cold food,weak tea. (97608743)

close to kings cross

Maybe I am out of touch with London prices and standards, but what I saw on the website and what we got is not the same. Overall it was not to bad despite my comments above and your staff were really friendly and always prepared to assist. A vending machine in the hotel with some snacks/cigarettes would be nice. (97402570)

Close to King's Cross station and the breakfast.Also the tea/coffee with milk in the room were very welcome.

Very small rooms, no extra blankets, no chairs in room, no burglar proof to protect when you open the windows for fresh air while you sleep. Carpets appears old and suspectedly dirty, creaky wooden floors in some places, noises in the passage disturbing during the night.

This hotel is a good value cheap and cheerfull no frills hotel. Its not hostel standard or hilton standard, however as a place to stay for the night at a good price it is spot on. The breakfast was superb and the staff freindly. (97757320)

This hotel is 1 minutes walking distance from kings cross, and a 5 minute taxi ride to theatre land.

There are a lot of small staircases which would not suit older people, however this did not bother us.

Overall, I wouldn't stay here again because although the price is cheap I felt that the standards of cleanliness and quality of the accommodation were very disappointing. (97878478)

The location of this hotel is great - right opposite Kings Cross Station

The layout of the hotel - narrow staircases etc makes it very difficult for anyone with mobility difficulties and / or lots of luggage. It did say on the website that a non smoking room could not be guaranteed so I was prepared for this, but the room and everything in it smelt smokey and musty. Also the room had no windows apart from a sky light and was extremely small. This coupled with the fact that the room was right down in the basement made the room feel a bit like a cell.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean although the carpet was very worn. The buffet breakfast was well stocked. However, I was very much put out by not having net curtains in the room as this meant I had to keep curtains closed to have privacy. For this reason I would hesitate to recommend the hotel outright. (99922677)

It was clean and quietly situated, yet very close to King's Cross Station. Good security in place. Breakfast buffet well stocked.

The carpet was worn. There was no net curtain so you needed to have curtains closed and lights on in order to have privacy during the day.

clean but shabby, in need of refurbishment. breakfast good but dining room furnishings poor quality. (99544431)

good location if using public transport. handy for tube and rail links

dining room very noisy due to metal chairs on tiled floor.

No overall comment. (99800472)

close to public services.breakfast very good and the lounge/sitting areas excellent.

rooms very small no room to swing a cat

This hotel is quite nice in comparison to others however its main attraction is value for money. It is also in a prime location near a major station and therefore is ideal for travellers. The breakfast has a wide variety and is lovely. The hotel could do with a little improvement with regards to decor however there are no major problems and equipment works well. Staff are friendly and helpful and hotel policy is fair. I would recommend this hotel, and although my stay was short it was an enjoyable one. (99153682)

central location,on a quiet street,apart for the rubble of the underground,room being on ground floor

pretty basic,not as clean as would have liked,beds well past their sell by date and a lick of paint would'nt go amiss.

No overall comment. (99759004)
