Decent budgethotel at a good price and an excellent location. Staff friendly except the girls in the breakfastroom who didn't care very much. Triple room was not very big but we had a nice bathroom with excellent shower. Would go back on a next citytrip to London. more

I thought htis hotel was an excellent find. close to Kings Cross St Pancras. we stayed in a room sleeping 6 adults (yes, not restricted to 2 adults 4 kids!) remarkable value for the 5 of us that stayed for £22 each! ROOM: in the basement. amazingly quiet when you consider the station is literally 200yds away. clean, recent refurbishment... more

we had a tiny room at the top of the hotel, no lift and narrow stairs, difficult getting case to room. mattress was ripped and dirty and extremely uncomfortable. complained this was removed. no soap in toilet. wardrobe doors could not be opened fully due to doors opening on to bed. will not be staying there again. more

I used the California Hotel on a short weekend break, only 2 Minutes walk to St Pancras. On our arrival we meet with a very friendly receptionist that direct us to a room on the second floor overlooking the street, the room had a proper bath, tea & coffee facilities with ceramic cups, Free Wireless internet. full english breakfast served... more

I have just returned from an overnight stay at the California - brill find for a budget hotel in central London: friendly,helpful staff, a reasonable residents lounge area with a little outside patio adjacent to the lounge - perfect for quiet moments in which to savour the sun - if you are lucky ! I booked a single room which... more

The room I got was in the basement, and u can hear the underground trains until about 12. The beds were comfortable and the sheets... more

No hot water six of the seven mornings. Room and bathroom were not very clean. They never had more than a surface cleaning. The wife was very uncomfortable. The management thought fixing the problem was to clean the shower head. I explained to the repairman, as a retired commercial building contractor, the problem was the guest ratio to water pressure... more

Booked a long weekend here with my partner after having being well looked after on numerous occasions at the California's sister hotel, the Montana Excel. What a disappointment! The rooms were basic with an en-suite, as expected. However, our rooms were not cleaned at all during our stay other than the bed linen being subtly re-arranged and the shower head... more

I stayed at the California Hotel with my mother and teenage children, it was cheap, and much better value than a room at a Travelodge or similar as it included breakfast. The room was basic but clean and comfortable enough for a few nights. My mother is in her late sixties, and she found it comfortable enough. more

Stayed here last month as most people have said the location is ideal. On arriving it was pleasant enough then I was shown to my room which was down in the cellar where the cleaners kept things. Though the bedroom was ok double bed and a single bed tv and en suite bathroom which was freezing. The real downside was... more
