10/10 Exceptional

Accommodating staff, small room but clean and comfortable. I’d still choose to stay here in the future. Close to everything, train, bus stops and restaurants.

Perfectly acceptable stay if you’ve got an early Eurostar to catch.

We enjoyed our stay at the Central Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The accommodations were nice and met our needs. The location was close to Kings Cross Station and local bus stops, so we were able to get around easily.

This hotel was such a great find! So close to St Pancras/Kings Cross stations. The staff were incredibly friendly and the property is well kept. Would absolutely stay there again.
Emily, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quaint and clean. Friendly staff. Convenient to tube and train. Tea & coffee available in room. Good water pressure, plenty hot. About the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in, but the bed was good and really that’s all I needed.

Close to Train Service

We were going on a day trip to Paris that left early on Eurorail. This hotel was very close to the station and places to eat. We had a nice stay at the hotel.

Good budget hotel

It is a budget hotel and it is absolutely fine. My room was small but had what I needed. It isn't the Ritz but good value for what I paid. Very convenient for st pancras and kings cross

The room is extremely small but it’s clean and tidy. It’s good for a day or two stays. It’s located very close to the subway station , very convenient.

Wilson! He greeted me and was peraonable and funny. The room was clean, the location was quite convenient. Just book it, you'll be glad you did.
Shelley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Better than anticipated

You can’t get much closer to St Pancras station for the Eurostar if you tried. Reception was quick and friendly. The room is small but functional, although it doesn’t have air conditioning it does come with a small fan, street and neighbour noise was minimal. Kings Cross accommodation has gotten incredibly expensive and had we not been booked on a 6am train we would have stayed somewhere kinder to the wallet. Overall it was a good experience.

Even though it was small it was so affordable and convenient. I loved it here.
David, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great location and friendly staff, BUT beware building is right on top of picadilly train line and you can feel and hear the train every 5 minutes or less, at least that was the case in our room and reception said it was true for every room when we asked about moving to a different room. Also room was ridiculously small barely room to walk between the 2 beds pushed against the walls
shan, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Never take room 3.

Hotel is the best location for KingsCross.. However I got room number 3 which is literally a cupboard.. never seen so small and silly room. It was clean though.. but I will choose another hotel next time, based on the laughable size of the room. The hairdrayer next to the bed on the wall, was comical.
Robert, 1-night trip
