Kings Cross St. Pancras hotels & accommodations

We arrived at 1 AM because of flight delays, long long time at British Immigration at Heathrow, 45-minute wait at 10:45 PM at the Underground for the train to arrive, 1-hour ride from Heathrow to Kings Cross/St. Pancras. Thank God the hotel reception is 24hrs. Check-in was a breeze, the receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was small but expected. I...

I was travelling with my parents (elderly). The place is perfectly accessible (walking distance) to main train stations ie. Kings Cross station and St Pancras International, as well as red and tourist buses. Halal food is easy to find as well as convenient shops such as Costcutter and Nisa local are just 5 mins walk away. Tourist spots such as Camden Town (accessible...

Very good hotel, recently renovated, nice style and clean. The hotel has recently been transformed into a Pullman hotel and is in a restyling process I guess. Everything looks clean and nice. The location is at a 5 mins walk from the Kings Cross station, St. Pancras International station and Euston station. The rooms have a nice view over the city, even at the lower fl...

Really good. We book a 8pax private room for a family of 5 just so we can enjoy the privacy. The facilities in the hotel is as per what you've paid for which is budget but sufficient. You will have to have your own daily essentials and thats about all. Security day and night is very strict and it gives comfort to us on safety perspective. Their cafes and chillout loung...

We were travelling with our 9 month old son and the room is a tight fit with our travel cot, but other than that the room was lovely, clean and well appointed. It was also four flights of stairs up and no lift, which was tricky with the baby. The location is fantastic, minutes from Kings Cross/St Pancras stations and the tube, and a number of convenience stores and res...

My first time in UK trip for our couple was nice cuz of this hotel also. We chose this hotel cuz we will go to harry Potter and go to Paris by euro star early morning at st. Pancras station. The hotel just cross the road from king's cross / st. pancras station. The hotel was tiny but clean and modern bright in the room. Before we arrived there, I sent email to request ...

The hotel is located very near Kings Cross/St. Pancras stations, and Euston Station is not far off, but the street is quiet, and the rooms well kept. The water pressure was a bit low in the tiny bathroom, but the mattresses were great. No frills, but the daily English breakfast was very good, and the staff were accommodating.

For a short stay lone traveller this is perfect, a bed, somewhere to clean up, TV. The room was clean and fresh, with cable TV, shower and toilet. Supplied were clean towels, soap, shampoo, shower wash and a kettle with tea and coffee.The lack of a phone wasn't a problem (I have one at home I haven't made a call from in 6 months!) the wi-fi was good and being in the ci...

the hostel was very central; it is super near to king's cross/st pancras. the room (private room) was small but did its job. a bit hot at night, though. showers and toilets were always clean when we used them, there was never traffic at the bathrooms or the breakfast hall. breakfast consisted of a lot of choices and was very cheap (2 pounds each person). staff was VE...

Nice stay in a clean budget hotel in Central London. The check-in staff was very attentive and took the initiative to change my room to ground level and near to hotel entrance when he noticed i had quite heavy luggage. The location was superb as it is within few mins walk to Kings Cross -St Pancras station where i took trains to and from London. The WIFI can be improve...

I chose the hotel thinking it was near Kings Cross, in fact it is in Islington which is some distance away. The hotel owners are still in the process of furnishing the hotel rooms. There were no bedside tables, no chair in the room. The room was clean, bed new and comfortable. The staff were friendly and told me that the hotel would have the missing furniture in the ne...

We took 5 bed room with attached bathroom. Room is clean and as expected , no frills. If u don't have a bath towel, you. You can rent one for £2. Location is good with walking distance to King Cross St Pancras for easy access to other parts of London , Eurostar to Paris or Brussels.

Great location for Kings Cross and St Pancras stations; and Kings Cross underground. Literally 1 to 2 minutes to walk there, if that. At the same time incredibly quiet - no noise from the main road during the day or at night, being just one road back. Mattress, bedding and towels very good. Ensuite very clean and smart. Good shower and hot water. Rooms very small but ...

I stayed in a newly refurbished room, with a lovely modern bathroom. Everything was very clean and tidy. Air con/heating worked well. Location was great, with an easy walk to Euston or Kings Cross. Staff were friendly and breakfast, although not greatly varied, was perfectly adequate and tasty with hot and cold options. Only criticism was the window in my bathro...

The hotel is in King Cross St Pancras which is 5 mins. walk to underground, overground, national and international train stations. The rooms are quite small but clean. No elevator and the stairway is so steep. The breakfast is just the same daily and very simple one- bread and butter with canned fruits served. But overall I rated it very good because we just sleep at t...

Booked a room at the apollo hotel for a week and had no complaints. The family than ran the hotel (they did everything! clean, check in/out, breakfast) was super nice. The breakfast was a excellent value, I'd have the full english every morning and wouldn't need to eat the rest of the day haha! Rooms are small, which is the norm for europe but could be surprising for p...

Our twin room had a small double bed and a single, so three of us could stay. It was very compact, but we expected this, and only slept there. All staff were very helpful and polite, and our room was clean. Breakfast was simple but plentiful. The location was fabulous, just a minute or two from St Pancras Station. Lots of eateries close by.

it is right beside the kings cross train station, shops and restaurants all within 2 minutes walk. the room, though very small, is cozy. the complimentary pantry is a nice tough. nothing beats a cup to tea in the winter afternoon, whiling enjoying the window's view.

Stayed here as it is Indian themed and the wife loves Indian food. It's a bit out the way for central London, however, there are quite a lot of bars and restaurants between Kings Cross and the hotel which can be taken advantage of. The room had a TV (which worked), wi-fi in the Jay restaurant (which didn't work when I tried using it via laptop and wife's i-phone) a bed...

Adequate stay for 4 nights. Positives include being only a few minutes walk from Kings Cross St Pancras station. Lots of eateries nearby. Groceries nearby. Room is not small by any means. The bathroom is great. Receptions are friendly. Unfortunately extremely disappointing housekeeping. Receptions told us to place dirty towels in the bathroom floor which we did. Two ti...

The hotel location it’s really convenient to hoping around city, it stated about 5 minutes walk from the King Cross St. Pancreas which connected mostly every line of Underground station. There’s also train station ( Harry potter platform 9 3/4) to travel to other city as well. They clean your room and toilet everyday. However the room it’s all the while dark even morn...

My son and I had an excellent time staying at St. Pancras Hotel during our trip in London. We had a warm and friendly welcome by the door man, receptionist and all the staffs we met. The hotel assigned a very clean, nicely decorated room on the high floor for us. We had great convenient to travel around the inner city of London on foot on the sunshiny day, while we ca...

We booked this hotel as it was just a short walk off St. Pancras International Station where the Eurostar starts/ends in London. Rooms are clean and the shared bathroom is well maintained. Breakfast option at £5 is reasonable and convenient. Rules are straightforward. Nothing fancy but clean and comfy anyway. Like most other small hotels in London, the absence of ...

My next London trip is next month & I will be staying at the Arriva Hotel for the 8th time. The rooms are small & very basic, but I don't go to London to recreate in a hotel room. The staff is very friendly & accommodating. The hotel is located a short walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras Rail Stations and walking distance for me to the Tower of London, Big Ben, the Lon...

Just stayed here overnight as I missed the last train. The location is perfect, less than 5 mins walk to kings cross and St Pancras, the street outside is fairly quiet. I stayed in a single room with shared bath - yes, the room is very small as others have said, but as I was here for 8 hrs only, perfectly fine. The room and hotel in general is very clean and tidy, w...

We stayed in the room behind the hotel's main building - CP2, and I'm guessing these rooms are not as half decent as the main rooms. Carpets were very filthy with stains everywhere and I'm guessing never replaced or steam cleaned in years! No air conditioner in the rooms, but they had fans. We had taken a 5-person room but far from central area. It's at a decent locat...

The hotel is very well located, if you need to travel from St. Pancras it is perfect because it is 6 minute walk from it. It is also really cheap as London is one of the most expensive cities around the world. I just needed to take the Euro star from St. Pancras the 26th of December (Boxing day) at 6:30 in the morning and it was great to be on time with no rush.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, very close to main transport links such as the eurotunnel and the london underground but not the noise! A supermarket is a short walk away to pick up any essential items or snacks.We would love to come back in the future.

Close to Kings Cross Station. Small room with not much space for toiletries or hanging coats but very clean bathroom and good shower. Comfortable bed and nice towels quilt and pillows. Breakfast very basic just help yourself coffee yoghurt and croissant but plenty cafes nearby. Very pleasant and helpful staff and overall an enjoyable stay.

10 minutes walk from St Pancras International. Walking to West End is doable. Staff is helpful. Hotel is old, no lift, staircase is very steep and narrow so really not suitable for the very young and old. Bed is too small for 2 people (and we are petite). Cleanliness of toilets depends of the guests. When we were there, the toilets were not very clean.

The apartment has nice view of London and very close to King Cross. The problem is you need to go to their office which take around 10 mins in taxi (£9) to collect the key. Generally nice, clean and spaces for 4 people to share but they only have 1 toilet.

place is okay if you can't really find a much better place to stay. just the stairs are too narrow for big luggages. no lift. the appartment is given to us is different from the photo. the place is not bad but the management needs to focus on repairs and speacially cleaning overall the place is still in good shape. a few blocks away from kings cross..

Good location. 5 minutes walk from Euston underground station. However, I would appreciate it if they could send me the gate and room codes before I got there. I was not able to go in and waited outside the door, got all wet in the rain with my luggage. Tried to call the office but they did not answer at once. It got me 15 minutes to finally contact the office staff an...
