Good stay next to St. Pancras, Kings Crossing
The staff was so helpful and kind. We were exhausted after our long flight and they helped us get baggage downstairs, reserved dinner seats for us, and were over all just great. The accommodations are pretty basic but clean and well located if you need to leave from St. Pancras-literally up two buildings and across the road.

Perfect for Kings X
nicely laid out reception. Spacious room with comfortable bed. Excellent location for Kings X access. Would use again without hesitation.Stayed at several Kings X area hotels and this is one of the better ones.

Great location, lovely staff, comfortable rooms.
Perfect location, lovely room. Was offered a ground floor room or a third floor room and opted for the third floor to try a minimise any underground/street noise which was perfect! I was travelling alone with my 6 year old daughter and felt welcome and safe throughout our visit. She thought the reception desk was really cool!

A good night's rest
I stayed in room 101 in the basement. It was comfy and reaonably sized, although the bathroom was cold and ceiling height was low (not for the tall guests!). Other than the noise of the underground trains passing by, I had a good night's rest here.

Why I liked the California
The hotel was right by the tube and Kings Cross station. There’s an amazing Indian restaurant nearby and a corner store. We were warmly greeted and given first floor accommodations. Location is awesome!

Good short stay with family
Cozy first floor room. Unique to have a mudroom in a hotel room. Was good for a few nights. Needs better ventilation fans as room can get humid after a shower and paint is starting to bubble. The floor fans helped but some are older and need replacement. Can open windows so that is good. Didn't have the breakfast. Staff is fantastic! Across street freom Kings Cross and many places to eat late at night

Ok for a short stay
Brilliant location. Clean but very noisy I am deaf and I found the noise of the nearby tubes very loud. They run until midnight which was unfortunate as I had an early train he next day

Good location & typical London hotel
We had a family break over a weekend. The hotel was very expensive for what it was, but that’s London i guess. The location is perfect for Kings X station. Literally a few minutes away. Reception were brilliant at check in. Professional, easy and quick. The room was fine. Nothing special, but comfortable. The heating had been left on and it was ridiculously hot, but easy enough to fix. Basic, clean with a TV and a comfy bed. Shower was good as well. We don’t pay the extra for breakfast as prefer to eat out for that sort of price and went to half cup, a few minutes walk away and was very good. I probably wouldn’t stay again at that price, but apart from that - very adequate.

6/10 Good

Great location, slightly above average hotel
We stayed 2 nights in the California Hotel as a family of 3. The location was amazing and so convenient for our trip. However the hotel is opposite a current building site so it was quite noisy first thing in the morning. It didn't really matter to us as we have a toddler who is up early anyway but worth bearing in mind. The room was a great size for what we needed but the bathroom was very small and narrow with no toilet roll holder. The room was very hot and the beds werent as comfortable as previous hotel rooms we've stayed in. It also wasnt as clean as it probably could have been, although the turn down service was great. I would say it was a little on the pricey side for what you get but overall it was a good stay.
Charlotte, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

OK stay
Friendly staff when checking in. Our room was tiny and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. No hand towel so we had to use our bath towel to dry our hands. The flooring was lifting in places and the whole place felt tired and in need of a spruce up. Great location for the station and lots of restaurants and bars in the area. Could hear the trains but didn’t mind that.

4/10 Fair

OK stay… but worn down
Overall ok stay, nothing fundamentally wrong. Was however a disappointment. Mainly because the pics of the hotel makes it look like a cute, cozy little boutique hotel… and it reality it was very worn down, and in an area that seemed a little dodgy.
