Elmwood Hotel

Cheap and cheerful. I had a single room which was small but had everything i needed, double bed, tea and coffee facilities and tv. I didnt have breakfast so cant judge that. There is no lift so beware if travelling with luggage as the stairs are narrow too, it gave me a little workout getting to the third floor. Property is a few minutes walk from kings cross / St Pancras. Would 100% return if i have to stay overnight again. Great value for money.

Unfortunately, the room condition wasn’t very good. The bathroom floor was constantly wet, and the shower didn’t drain properly, causing water to overflow. However, I did enjoy the breakfast, especially the croissants, which were excellent.

good for the price.

Hosts were great, rooms clean, great location, smallish bathroom but good value for the money

Good greeting on check in everything was well explained. The room was ok. It did the job of a bed for the night and convenient for Kings Cross station. Although it says to use the locker provided and

Didn't have breakfast

Had another good overnight stay at The Elmwood. Small room, but ideal, with good shower and comfortable bed. Friendly greeting again.

Excellent stay.

Location is great. Room had a strong odor. Kettle was fithly.

all was good!

The breakfast was great value for money and the staff were very friendly and helpful.great location to catch the Eurostar this morning to Amsterdam.

The price could have been relatively reduced for the Hotel.

Really disappointing experience overall, especially considering we paid over $100 per night. Our room was located on the lowest level of the hotel—essentially the basement. While the rest of the property smelled heavily of air freshener, our section had a strong sewage-like odor. The source appeared to be black mold, which was visible throughout the bathroom: on the walls, in the tile grout, and even on the shower curtain. This felt like a genuine health concern. Additionally, the hotel requires guests to leave their room key at reception when going out. One evening, the staff member on duty disappeared for about 30 minutes, leaving me locked outside in the cold. I was only able to get in because my partner was in the room; otherwise, I would have been stuck waiting. We then had to continue waiting for the staff member to return just to retrieve our key. After checking out, both of us became ill. We can’t say definitively it was caused by the hotel, but considering the conditions, it’s hard not to wonder. Overall, given the price and the state of the room, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. P.S. Wifi was awful, if that factors into your decision.

Friendly owners. Felt safe. Close to transit. Rooms were very dated and small. Need to update its overall room appearances (bedding, furniture and bathroom fixtures etc). Surrounding area at first appeared sketchy but in the end it was fine.

Did not eat there

Stayed here before so it was as expected for a one night stay. No problems duringour stay

If you ever want to experience how not to run a hotel, this is the place! 😅 Old carpet straight from the last century, a bed that could double as a trampoline, and towels so tiny they could be napkins. The grand amenity? One little bar of soap. We climbed three floors by stairs — bonus workout included! The guy at the front desk clearly missed the class on hospitality; I’m pretty sure he hates his job more than I hated the room. Woke up to street noise, packed our bags, and escaped an hour early… while it was still dark. 10/10 for the survival story, 0/10 for comfort. 😂

Great option for one or two night stays between travels.

Stay was better than expected - perfect location for kings cross station. Breakfast- croissants, cereal, toast and meats/cheese not bad value. Service good - would probably stay again!

The group of drug users we had to walk past to get to hotel didnt fill us with confindence, the room was tiny and the bathroom was even smaller. The walls were so thin so heard everything in the hotel so it was very hard to actually sleep
