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

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel staff were super friendly! Location is ideal especially if you are coming from the St Pancras train station and you are close to kings Criss. Our room was squeaky clean. Great place to stay if you are on a budget.

2/10 Poor

Limited space bathroom was so small and that they false advertised this place and that we didnt even get a actual room it was in the basement.
Gautam, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location to public transportation. And local coffee shops and restaurant. If you know you will be out all day and just need a place to lay sleep, shower and toilet. It is the place for you.
mariana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location across from main train stations, hop on/hop off bus, tons of stores, and British Museum. It's in a more budget friendly area, but hotel itself and walk to train station felt safe for both of us traveled females. Easy check in and out. The room was cozy and nice, shower was hot, could use some minor updates. Great hotel for a short cozy stay.

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

6/10 Good

Basic hotel with small rooms. No elevator or offer to assist with bags. Shower did not drain well. Ok for a short stay and handy to train stations.
Jeff, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, Friendly, Economical, Great Location

What I look for when I travel: clean, simple, economical, and well-located. Central Hotel has all of this, plus super-friendly, helpful staff/owners. Being across the street from St Pancras/King's Cross means you have quick access to Eurostar, the airports, and three underground lines. (Leicester Sq is a 5-min ride on the Piccadilly line.) It doesn't have breakfast, AC, or a lift, and some of the rooms don't have en-suite baths; if you're ok with that you'll love this place like I do.
Pleasant clean room
Lawrence, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

very clean. meticulous organisation. in good condition. however, bathroom was down stairs. excellent service from manager.
valerie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good No-frills near St Pancras

A very small room very convenient to St Pancras station. The staff was friendly and responsive. The fan in the room provided plenty of cooling for us so no a/c wasn’t a problem. There’s very little sitting room. I think a small couch that would make into a single bed would be better than the single bed in the room. Overall, I’d recommend as a good low cost option for that location
