Excellent place for ove stay if you only want somewhere to sleep as a stop over to rail stations !
Room in annex was tiny with bathroom/cupboard not enough room to even dry yourself after showering !
Breakfast was disgusting ... mc Donald's over the road was the answer !
This is one of the most convenient hotels I had stayed in London, location is perfect, rooms are small, wifi is not bad at all and breakfast is modest but tasty. For a day or two I would reccomend for sure.
I booked the hotel room because I needed to catch an early Eurostar train and there was supposed to be a Tube strike, which in the event was cancelled. The reception member of staff offered me an upgrade to a double room on arrival. The room was clean, large, and did the job. Solid night sleep. The key thing is that it is literally across the road from St Pancras, and near a whole range of restaurants. A good bolt hole if you need a base for an early morning departure. Oh, and £98 for 2 nights with breakfast booked through an online travel agency.
I have stayed at the Carlton for over 2 years now it's excellent value for money, the only thing is now the price is a little lower because they have gone fully Continental Breakfast, but loads of cerial, toast, croissants, Cheese, and boiled eggs, Tea & coffee, plus it's just across the road from King Cross Station and Underground.
The price and location makes this a good place to stay for a solo traveler! You are next to St Pancras and a decent curry shop. WiFi is on every floor, but the signal is sometimes better in the lobby. Generally clean and warm. Breakfast is weak, but completely in line with that price point. Very nice staff at front desk!
