It's a filthy hotel. The staff have no attitude for hospitality and appear to have no idea about London, which was a real problem for us. As a result of the Arriva Hotel's incompetence, we had a transfer booked to 'Stansted' Airport, instead of Heathrow Airport. This resulted in us missing our flight and having to pay a lot of... more

The hotel is located at a 5 to 10 min walk from Euston and King's Cross Tube stations. The Hotel is Pretty good and the front desk people arr soo good in solving all of my problems what i had in my stay of 7 days. I had been from India to this hotel and found very worthy for my... more

If you simply cannot find another place to stay... then, change your travel dates until somewhere else is available! Honestly. We stayed here four years ago for our wedding anniversary, and the experience was so bad that we feel the need to write a review so others do not make the same mistake we did. We wanted somewhere near Kings... more

Following a late event, I booked a room at Arriva Hotel which was already supposed to be paid for by the company credit card before my stay. My collague had emailed confirmation of payment before hand to ensure this was taken care of so I didn't have to worry. I turned up at the hotel to be greeted (or not)... more

We stayed here for 3 nights; the hotel is located in a good location just 3 minutes walk from King's Cross- sant Pancras tube station and this allows the hotel to recover point. Breakfast was continental, but in good quantity. Probable the cantine is a bit small for the hotel but we always found a table to seat. Check in... more

To start with the (only) positives: the Arriva was somewhere handy (for King's Cross / Euston) to lay our heads overnight, was reasonably clean, and was unfazed by our late arrival (after midnight). That said, it was a Fawlty-Towers-type experience (without the humour) which I do not wish to repeat. I had emphasised in the booking that it was conditional... more

The location is great only a few minutes walk from Kings Cross tube and train stations, and the front desk guy was very helpful and efficient. I checked in to a room on the street which was noisy, but it was O.K overall with a TV and a fridge. But that night I saw a mouse that did not look... more

Tiny room, not the cleanest. Very low pressure in the shower. Had to queue up for the breakfast (the dining room was too small to fit all guests), poor breakfast anyway. We had to call the police one night due to violent action in a nearby room. more

Positives: Great location - 5 minutes from Kings Cross St Pancras tube and railway stations. Newly installed security cameras. Overall, I found the staff responsive to my needs. The room was medium/small in size, but heaps bigger then some of the places I looked at. The was a remote controlled television, fridge, phone, hairdryer and tea/coffee facilities in the room.... more
