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.

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

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.

8/10

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.

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.

2-night trip

6/10

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.
1-night trip

4/10

Room was tiny and crammed with three beds, two singles and a double (we only booked for 3 people). Bathroom was dirty, run down and in serious need of some love. No amenities provided like soap or shampoo.
1-night trip

6/10

It was very noisy and the room/bathroom was not cleaned properly. Location next to King's Cross station is worth a 10!

Location is very good.
1-night trip

6/10

Very friendly reception which made us feel welcolm. Given keys for front door for late return as no reception later on an evening. Room was for 3 adults and was tiny with very little floor space to move around. Bathroom ok but very small and cramped. Room was described as ground floor but staircase and tight corridoor to struggle through with suitcases.(nice guy off reception did try to help). Double bed was small for 3 adults and bedding did not feel crisp clean. Great location for Kings Cross and othwr transport.

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.
