Kings Hotel Reviews

Don't stay here! We travel a lot, but this hostel was the worst we've ever stayed. A member of staff was really rude and unfriendly, the bathroom was an small cube not for normal people, but for dwarf maybe, and a breakfast contained only two toasts, butter, tea and cheap juice. They serve it in an obscure, dark room. The name of this hostel is a kind of stupid joke.

This hotel is the worst i've ever seen. i booked a double bed with bathroom, and i paid 50£ (!!) per night for it. The sheets were too small to cover the bed properly, i slept half on the uncovered mattress to let my girlfriend sleep on the sheet. The stairs & the room floor weren't horizontals! it was impossible to climb them with the suitcase! Couldn't close the window completely. Breakfast was with plastic cutlery, and i had to cook my toast in a dirty kithcen. finished space, not complains!

Worst bed I have ever slept in my whole life.

The only good points: location and fair security. After a long wait to get in and a "welcome" from a curt, barefoot receptionist, the room disappointed. It was small, shabby and not clean. Towels are provided but you have to ask for them and the bathroom has no mat or soap. The shower leaked on the floor and was in poor condition. The window rattled all night. Worse, we were literally being forced out at 10 a.m. - too early for a place like this. A basic room, not a hotel as the name suggests.

Great hostel/hotel if you just need a safe and affordable place to sleep. It suited me perfectly on my visit as I did not need a hotel lounge etc. to hang out in. The staff was very nice and the atmosphere was really cosy. The sheets, the room and the bathroom were clean. The air was not the freshest possible but not too bad. I can tell from my allergy that there was no issues with the moisture or not too much dust. The beds made very loud noices when you moved in them so that was a minor minus.

This hotel was good... the price and location are good and overall it did the job...if you want somewhere to sleep after a late night, good location, no frills you will be happy with here...the problem on these sites is that people expect hilton service for hostel rates!!!.. i would stay here again however i have stayed in better ones on the same street for the same price.

The room had free wi-fi and the hotel is extremely close to kings cross underground. Breakfast was served with dirty plastic knives and our room was really small.

... i think you can find something better for that price...

I would definitely stay there again. Nothing fancy, but good over-all.

Walked in and walked straight back out again! could not beleive it. Did not stay at all. Pictures was not like it was on the site. Do not waste your time. MANAGER WAS RUDE. First of all didnt like the thought of a gay couple staying in a double be and was trying to tell me I booked twin beds. He said he will charge me one night stay as we didnt want to stay there even though I paid my deposit, If this does happen ill be taking matters further.

The location is good, heart of Kings Cross. Easy access to anywhere. The price a bit high for the kind of accomodation provided. Security all right, you got your own key and they have security cameras on the corridors and entrance. There is a shower in the room that had the drain Blocked all the time!! It is a bit gross you have a shower in a place that is not yours and have water stuck on your feet!! So general rate average.

Kings Hostel was cheap and cheerful. Great location (5 minute walk from Kings Cross Station) and really quiet at night. Room was clean but extremely small and bed was not great. However the shower was excellent and for what we wanted it was perfect.

Very basic, but if you are looking for somewhere close to Kings Cross its a great price for the location. We actually found the guy on reception to be pretty friendly, despite the negative reviews on staff.

Best Location middle of London, absolutely worth the money. You get what you pay for. I stayed at Northumberland - same price - but Kings Hotel is much more clean. To less bathrooms, 1 for 3 floors.... If u search a cheap room, take it. If u want more than a room, dont take it :)

I'm not one for leaving negative comments but I have to say this hostel was pretty bad! The very second we walked in we were overwhelmed by the thick smell of curry!!! And it got on our clothes and stayed with us the whole time! It was very unpleasant! Breakfast was a joke! I won't even bother describing it! One of us tried it and then we all decided to have it somewhere else! Make a reservation only if you don't find anything else! Loocation is good! Right across the street from King's Cross.

It was all ok, except for the beds: too old they made squeaky sounds at every single movement...

I was in a single room w/o shower. The room was quite clean and eqipped with (of course) a bed, a small TV (just 4 stations) and a basin. However it was located in the basement and to get to the shower I hat to walk through the whole buliding up to the second floor. Breakfast was served in a small room in the basement and not very pleasant -> awful! Beakfast room looked a bit like a dungeon. There was also NO housekeeping in my room during my 4-night-stay. Hotel manager/staff not very welcoming.

very good for short stay when you spend most time in the city-room small, looks as used a little and old but all things prepared and clean, stuff nice

Good location, but could be cleaner.

This place is definitly ok for the price range, Not too dirty not too small. But the bed's are awefull.
