One night stops
Generally ok, very out of date however very clean. Definitely worthy one night having only walking distance from St. Pancras International.

Close to King’s Cross
First time staying here and it was during a crisis. Very close to King’s Cross and staff welcoming. Great room and size, bedding is very different with lots of thinner layers compared to a duvet which I do prefer.

Great place for Eurostar.
We stayed here for a night before catching the Eurostar it was a very short walk to st Pancaras to get the train also easily placed for the tube. We went to the west end to catch a show the night before. There was 3 of us and the room was small a double bed and a single however it was literally somewhere to catch a few hours sleep and for the price we paid for 3 people it was well worth it. I used the shower and it was perfectly adequate. If you want somewhere clean and close to the station and central London then this is perfect. All staff I spoke to were polite and informative. I will not hesitate to stay here again.

One Night Stay at Elmwood Hotel in September.
The Elmwood is close to Kings Cross Station and 5 minutes from Euston too, which is convenient. The single bed room (No.3S) was ideal for my one night stay, with comfortable bed and en-suite bathroom & shower. It is on basement level. There a TV on the wall and Tea making facility. Even though a little renovation could tidy the bathroom (crack in sink and corrosion of tap) it was good value and the staff were helpful. Unfortunately, there was a bit of floor board thumping and squeaking this morning at 6am, as people walked on the floor above ! But despite that, I am going back again in November.

Perfect budget hotel for the price. Clean comfortable bed and, while the shower is a bit tight, it’s plenty powerful and hot enough. Easy to find and plenty of good places to eat and drink nearby.

Honored to be a 'regular' guest
The staffs are simply amazing, so helpful, friendly, and personable, almost like family friends once we get to know them. So comfortable to stay. Some noise from the outside or other guests with young children can be a bit disturbing but that cannot be helped and the staff will try to accommodate the needs, wonderful!

Friendly hotel, be aware of bring your own
Very convenient hotel near St Pancras.
It is located in a quiet street. Friendly staff at the reception all the time.
Simple bedroom but it serves its purpose.
Booked the breakfast, continental, again friendly staff bringing you freshly toasted bread.
If you have specific requirements such as not cow milk or green tea bring your own as the choice is cafe or English tea.
For the mobile, be aware to bring your own electric plug to reload.
No hairdryer neither so bring your own.
A towel to put on the floor near the shower would be good to prevent slipping.
I was at the top floor without lift, so if you have a heavy bag or physical conditions, specify it at booking

Kings Cross overnighter
The hotel was basic. A single bed in a room for an overnight stay, it was adequate but nothing special. Close to Kings Cross and moderately priced for London. Overnight was fine.

Good location, but very poor quality hotel.
Staff were pleasant, its in a good location but thats the only positives to be found here.
The hotel is in need of a complete make over, really does need modernising.
Everything is very old, the mattress should have been replaced years ago and offered no support.
Pillows are of low quality and super thin.

Bed was not even a normal Double, No facilities such as kettle and coffee Tea Milk etc.
Narrow stairs and no assistance with luggage as there is no lift. Only advantage was it was close to the Railway station would think twice about staying there again.

Good hotel for short stay
It was a decent hotel. I booked this because of its proximity to King’s Cross. No lifts so had to climb two stories all the time. With luggage it was difficult. Stayed for two nights. We had to leave the key at the reception every time we go out which was new to me. The staff boy was very good and helpful. Would recommend for very short stay.

Small hotel close to Eurostar train station, and the metro station. Basic accommodation, the room was a bit small, but appropriate for the price. But was a bit surprised they charged for luggage storage on checkout day.
