Matt

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Stayed in a double room en suite before early start to St Pancras for Eurostar. It’s not going to win any design awards but it was absolutely perfect for requirements. Clean sheets and room, hot water, plenty of plug sockets, comfy bed and friendly staff behind the desk. Best of all was how close it was to St Pancras. Less than a 5 minute walk. There are steps to the entrance and also to rooms so please be aware of that. Will definitely stay here again if getting early train.

Great place to stay in London: safe, clean, quiet, convenient, and affordable. Just across the street from the train station and there are consequently a lot of options for food in the area (some are open late as well if you struggle with jetlag like I did the first couple nights). Any day-to-day essentials you might need will be no more than a 10 minute walk away. I will definitely stay here again I am ever on another solo trip in London. What a wonderful experience!

Little gem in great location

Literal steps away from King's Cross St. Pancras. Cute little hotel for budget conscious travelers in perfect location for your trip to London. McDonald hotel is clean and cozy, you'll always have clean towels and coffee/tea supplies in your room. I booked accomodations with a shared bathroom, which turned out to be no issue, during my 4 night stay I not once had to wait to use the shower or toilet. I will definitely be back!
