Central Hotel

Staff was very helpful instructing us where the Hop On Hop Off bus was located as well as how to get to Heathrow Airport via the underground station. Very friendly staff. Room was changed from upper level to ground floor after seeing our luggage, a kind gesture since no lift.

It was a stones throw away from kingscross, so convenient and easy to explore from. The staff were polite and friendly. I was on the second floor but the man on the desk when I arrived very kindly took my case up for me as there is no lift. The room very small but very clean. A thing I have not always found in larger establishments.The bed was really comfortable. It was good to have tea and coffee facilities. It felt very safe.

A problem was that this multi story property has no lift. Being an older building the stairway is narrow and steep. Getting bags to the 3rd level room felt like a good gym workout but would be a big problem if you had physical limitations. Staff did not offer help. The room was small, had one small window and no aircon. In March this was ok but I imagine in summer it would be hot. They did supply a fan. The bed had a metal frame and made a loud clanking noise when you got in/out. Shower/toilet room very small but well equipped.

It was clean and reception staff helpful No lifts so no good for BIG Suitcases Cheap Cheerful and Conveniently situated

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.

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

Lots of stairs.

The customer service is above and beyond! They took great care of me, helped with transportation, and even carried my heavy bag up 4 flights of stairs for me! The location is extremely convenient. It's an older building without air conditioning so if you experience London in a heat wave like I did, it's pretty miserable.

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.

It was a very satisfying stay, we enjoyed our two nights here, as it was a very central spot for transportation. Great location, smooth check in, i just wish they would start building some elevators in these buildings

Good price great location clean room

Excellent service. Very clean rooms and bathrooms. Great communication and location. Best place to stay

Friendly staff, clean room in a convenient spot.

Room was dirty and cold. The whole place seemed dirty tbh. I initially had planned to stay 2 nights but could not bear it

The price for the room was high, basement small room, bad odor, the shower floor was nasty.

Nice staff and clean rooms, but the rooms were a little bit on the smaller side. The hotel had a very central location. Very easy to navigate around in London from this location.

We were given a room with no egress in the basement and the shower was very dirty

I love these independent London hotels with tiny rooms for a reasonable price -- unlike the big chains in Central London. The staff always gets to know you and is very friendly. Central Hotel was no exception. I've stayed in a number of London hotels like this for a week or more at a time over the last thirty-some years. Central Hotel stands our for an extra level of cleanliness and very nice tiled bathrooms with up-to-date plumbing and very good water pressure.

Smell bad Sink clogged

Amazing location just across the road from the rail station...yet very quiet. We arrived early in the morning & a lovely & helpful man allowed us to leave our bags. When we arrived back in the evening the bags had been delivered to our room. The room was compact but very clean & the beds were made up each day. An amazing deal for the price! Would totally recommend this one & thank you to all of the lovely staff.

The location of the hotel is excellent, about a minutes walk to kings cross station. The hotel staff were nice and helpful. However thats where the positives stop. Room 6 on the lower ground floor was the noisiest hotel room we have ever experienced. The ceiling must be paper thin as you could hear every footstep above, at all hours. The noise of the pipes/boiler, again at all hours, were dreadful, and sounded like a chainsaw! The room was too hot, even in winter. All in all 2 very unsettled nights to the point where the sound of the underground ended up being comforting. Also the decor was tired and needs updating

Great location for St Pancras station. Room very small for family room but well equipped and we got what we expected. Bathroom super small.

This hotel is great if you need a place to overnight when you have a train to catch next morning. It's almost directly opposite King's X, St Pancras station. I wouldn't recommend it for a long-term stay as the room I stayed in was small, as was the bathroom.

Small room

Friendly person on reception. Online system was down so had to sign in manually which took a while. Room was very dated and in much need of repair and an upgrade. Quite noisy as it is Central London. Plus point is that it's very close to King's Cross St Pancras and is cheap.

Property was more in line with a hostle dorm size rooms and bathroom that could not fit one person at the sink.

The room was ok. Bathroom very very small. Room not sound insulated at all. Constant noise from trains and other guests.

Because my room was underground so I could not get WI-FI signal. I Also could hear tube running noise quite often so I could not sleep propally.

Wilson at check-in was very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

convenient location - just in front of King’s cross station. Receptionists are friendly, rooms are old yet cleaned well. Quiet despite being near Ning street and station. Very satisfied.

Worst hotel ever The bathroom stunk -like a sewer The manager poured some bleach around which had no effect We asked for an alternative room but he said they were full and when we continued to complain he simply walked off and ignored us Unbelievably bad AVOID

Recently refurbished, rooms were in great condition. Great location and very helpful staff.

Thank you for the kind welcome and help with my suitcase. The location is so convenient!

Very kind staff and great room.

Close to Kings Cross made London Travel on the Tube very easy. Several good restaurants in the near vicinity. The staff was excellent.

Don’t expect luxury but it is so, so central and the people working here are AMAZING. They made it worth the stay!

Great hotel. Excellent location. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Good price great location clean room

Very close to the station for Eurostar

Great location

We found the Central Hotel to be exactly as it was described - a clean and well run hotel that provides a basic center-point from which to experience the local attractions and a secure place to store one’s luggage while away to some of the many locations made available through the St Pancras international station. We were able to leave for Paris on an early train, spend the day sightseeing, and return on a later train. The location is fantastic and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The Central hotel worked well for our budget and we won’t hesitate to stay there again should we return to the area.

Friendly staff, clean room in a convenient spot.

Nice staff and clean rooms, but the rooms were a little bit on the smaller side. The hotel had a very central location. Very easy to navigate around in London from this location.

Excellent value close to Kings Cross/ St Pancras. So easy to access tube bus and trains to wherever you could wish. Lots of cafes and pubs near by. There is even a friendly laundrette a 5 mins walk from the Hotel. Rooms very small so we needed to utilize every inch of space to store bags. It is a bit cramped for two but beds comfortable, it’s quiet, it’s clean and has all basic amenities. Only downside are the narrow steep stairs to access the rooms. Stairs seem to be an unavoidable feature of London life. Reception staff really friendly. A big shout out to Wilson who carried our heavy bags up to our room willingly and was so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Thank you Wilson. We would stay again.

The location is excellent, right across Kings Cross St Pancras Station. The hotel is small and the room is also very small but it is nice and clean in general. The front desk is friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this hotel if you have a limited budget and want a convenient location.

Location is within walking distance to King Cross St.Pancreas. Great place, convenient, not too expensive. Nothing to complain about really.

Has everything you need, convenient location next to the train station. Clean, good service

I cannot call this cheap and cheerful because it was actually neither. It cost £175 before some kind of discount so I paid £148. I thought the price included breakfast - it did not though reviews on the website mention a great breakfast there is none. I NEVER EVER book a hotel without breakfast and I do not cope without it, so something must have led me to believe that breakfast was included. The room was very shabby, tired, the bathroom just not up to scratch and I would much rather have stayed at a Premier Inn. I am so disappointed that I have not been able to contact Hotels.com to discuss my booking, post trip, that once my review is posted, I will cancel my account with them and NEVER use them again. I literally selected the hotel purely based on location because of where we travelled to and from and because I currently have some mobility issues and was expecting a budget hotel, not 4 star luxury. But it did fall very short of my expectations and then to have no breakfast! to be fair, the staff were accommodating and helpful about the rucksacks we wanted to leave both before we'd checked in and after we had checked out. In summary, I am truly hacked off with hotels.com and feel I was misled when making the booking but have no way of contacting them or proving this. I was disappointed with the hotel itself which fell below my expectations - which weren't high anyway, and would never in a million years use this hotel again.

Accommodating staff, small room but clean and comfortable. I’d still choose to stay here in the future. Close to everything, train, bus stops and restaurants.

This property is really close to the train station. The convenience was a huge benefit. Much dining nearby. The rooms were clean and a efficient. She’s not an opulent grand hotel, yet she delivers the essentials quite adequately. We would stay here again.

Easy access to trains and busses. Restaurants nearby and safe to walk around. No lift at the hotel so be aware if you have heavy luggage and challenged to do steps. Everything was fine, clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay in London, especially for a quick trip and you’re travelling light. Close to Kings Cross and St Pancras, and quick access to many places to eat. Staff were helpful and checkin/checkout was easy. Room and building were clean. Only drawback is the school close by which generates a decent amount of noise but it’s usually for a short while. Glad to have stayed here and will definitely return next time we’re passing through London!

Nice bargain hotel. Handy for Kings Cross / St Pancras and Euston. Lovely staff. No breakfast but lots of options very nearby.

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.

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.

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.
