The California

Brilliant location. Clean but very noisy I am deaf and I found the noise of the nearby tubes very loud. They run until midnight which was unfortunate as I had an early train he next day

Friendly staff when checking in. Our room was tiny and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. No hand towel so we had to use our bath towel to dry our hands. The flooring was lifting in places and the whole place felt tired and in need of a spruce up. Great location for the station and lots of restaurants and bars in the area. Could hear the trains but didn’t mind that.

Lovely caring staff. So handy to St Pancras International.

The hotel was right by the tube and Kings Cross station. There’s an amazing Indian restaurant nearby and a corner store. We were warmly greeted and given first floor accommodations. Location is awesome!

Overall ok stay, nothing fundamentally wrong. Was however a disappointment. Mainly because the pics of the hotel makes it look like a cute, cozy little boutique hotel… and it reality it was very worn down, and in an area that seemed a little dodgy.

We recently stayed at The California and had a mixed experience. The hotel does not quite match the pictures online—it’s much older and smaller than expected, like many places in London, and could use some updates. On the positive side, the staff and cleaning team were very helpful and efficient, and the shower had great water pressure. We also appreciated being able to control the heat in our room, which made our January stay comfortable (though we’re not sure how it would be in the summer). However, there were some major downsides. The room was very small, especially the bathroom, with no toilet roll holder and no hand or face towels provided. The mattresses were far too soft, which left us with some backaches by the end of our stay. Additionally, there was construction right across the street, and the room had little to no sound insulation, making it feel like the workers were practically in the room with us. Overall, while the hotel had some good aspects, it fell short of expectations due to the misleading photos, outdated feel, noise issues, and uncomfortable beds. Would I stay here again? Not if I can help it, unless some updates are made.

Tyvärr stördes vi mycket av ett stort bygge precis utanför fönstret. Dålig luft på rummet. Hyfsat sköna sängar.

Nice homely feel to the Hotel

El lugar es muy lindo y re bien ubicado pero es DEMASADO PEQUEÑO. Por lo menos para nosotros que eramos 4 adultos.Las escaleras super pequeñas . La atencion muy buena!!!!!

.

Great location next to Kings Cross station. Thin walls so I could clearly hear my neighbors use the hairdryer or the shower (bring earplugs). I was not bothered by the construction site since they didn’t work during the weekend. Cleanliness was ok overall, however the wooden floor in our room was a bit sticky and the bathroom had a bit of mold on the walls. Friendly staff! Overall I would recommend this hotel for a short trip in London.

Oh friends.......the bathroom doors are made of frosted glass. So if you are traveling with friends and you want some privacy - you won't have it. The door is almost translucent as soon as it gets steamy in the bathroom from a shower. Not to mention, it doesn't block out any noises, so I hope you are SUPER comfortable with whomever you are traveling with. This is my only complaint about the hotel, otherwise I liked it. I enjoyed this hotel's closeness to Kings Cross/St Pancras - it made train travel super easy.

Always a pleasure, business or leisure.

top lage!

Familieværelse. Gulvet hældte til den ene side. Så det gjorde dobbeltsengen også. De bestilte to enkeltsenge var drømmesenge, ikke rigtige senge med madrasser. Badeværelset var så lille, at min mand på 185 måtte sidde sidelæns på toilettet, fordi der ikke var plads den anden vej. Døren til badeværelse var af glas og sluttede ikke tæt rundt i karmen, så man kunne kigge ind. Der var ingen lås på døren, og fordi gulvet hældte til den ene side, gled døren hele tiden op. Der er en kæmpe bygning under opførelse lige overfor, men det er der jo så mange steder i London. Positivt er beliggenheden og rigtig gode muligheder for offentlig transport.

The staff was extremely professional and nice and the facility was clean. It was in perfect walking distance of several eating establishments as well

We needed a hotel close to the station for an early trip on the Eurostar to Paris, and this was absolutely perfect. Not even a minute’s walk to and from King’s Cross/St Pancras station. 24 hour reception. We were on the ground floor (thank goodness, because we had heavy suitcases) and facing the street, and so there was a bit of street noise but nothing too crazy. Also, every 5-10 mins you could hear a bit of a rumble as the trains passed far beneath us, but the location of this topped everything else for me.

The hotel was ok. Our room was in the bottom of the hotel, so was noisy. Some noises sounded like someone was moving furniture. The noise did settle down. The TV wasn't working properly ith the screen going of after 10 minutes. For £138 we didn't think room only was good value for money
