Must say firstly this place is in a great location to St Pancras and for one night it is sufficient £90 a night for a shoe box with no frills seems a bit steep. My daughter and I had hardly any room for our bags, I would not advise anyone with large cases to stay here as it is very... More

One night stay for business and usually book the cheapest rooms available. THis was only £50 for single ensuite and breakfast. Room was actually a double room so more space. Clean and basic but perfectly fine. Breakfast buffet style, quick and easy and good quality. Staff pleasant. Would recommend. More

My brother and I stayed the California Hotel recently for 3 night and enjoyed our stay. The room was small (Never had anything but a small room in London), and a little run down, but it was clean and comfortable. I actually think the large modern bathroom was bigger than the rest of the room, but we only slept there... More

We stayed here for eight nights in October 2011. The hotel has fairly small rooms but the location is excellent and close to the tube station and railway (Kings Cross). Our room was on the first floor and had barely enough room to turn around in however from past experiences with London stays we were not expecting a large room.... More

Pros: Train station is one block. Underground is at the corner. Staff was helpful with directions and gave us a converter. Fairly quiet. Cons: Room decor was like being at your cabin. TV did't work. Breakfast included but left a little to be desired. Bathroom had only one light in the ceiling, so you couldn't really use the mirror it... More

Stayed here one night after flying into heathrow. Room is clean, comfortable but very basic and small, stayed in a room near the back of then hotel and had no problem with noise. Breakfast was basic but fine, cereal, bacon, sausage tomatoes, eggs, beans and toast. For the price for a one night stay don’t think there is anything wrong.... More

This is much more of a hostel than a hotel, rooms are basic but adequate although not the greatest shower, it was either freezing cold or boiling hot. It was clean but the hotel was quite noisy, you could hear people in other rooms. Generous breakfast if you like greasy fried food but sadly there isn't really an alternative. However... More
