If you want a cheap hotel for you and a buddy and dont go to the gym too much or eat too much you will be ok here. beds are small and simple. unfortunately both me and my friend work out so it was a little claustrophobic in the smallest twin room i have ever been in. it is clean... More

I read a lot of reviews before staying at this hotel, and, to be honest a lot of them are spot on - the terrible ones and the good ones. It can't be called excellent because it isn't, but it is unfair to say it's terrible. You get exactly what you pay for. The location is, as mentioned a lot,... More

First arrived at Howard Winchester Hotel in the afternoon. Location was fantastic and easy to find, just a two minutes walk away from London King Cross and St Pancras Station (which makes it convenient for tourists like us who takes the train to Paris and Scotland via Eurostar and East Coast train and also the underground as it connects about...

Great location over the road from Kings Cross. We were a couple in a triple room, which was a good size. despite being so close to kings cross, very quiet. Staff were great, helpful. Rooms cleaned well. Cooked breakfast nice-gets very busy.

Stayed here overnight in a triple room for my wife daughter and myself.Lovely staff and breakfast was more than ample, good nights sleep and only 2 mins from Kings Cross and St Pancras and 5 mins from Euston. All in all very impressed for the price and will be stopping again.

Staayed here the night before a trip to France on the Eurostar. Staff were very friendly and helpful and have advice on where to go for evening food. The breakfast was simple but tasty. Rooms were clean and of a standard you expect for the price. We were on the lower level and it was a bit tricky to get... More

I go to London at least twice a year and I always stay in this nice hotel in King's Cross. 2 mins walk from the tube station, great tube station since many lines stop here and you can reach many other areas in 2/3 stops. I had breakfast here just one time, just because i enjoy having it outside, but... More

The room was very small, cold and not clean! The bathroom was awful! The wifi never worked for me, and did not exist! Stayed only one night, but got sick in the morning! The breakfast was poor, and the smell of it spread all over the hotel, even the third floor smelt awfully!

Brilliant location St Pancras and Kings Cross on the doorstep so was able to go out of London and through London easily. Used it as a base for Site seeing London and visiting Harry Potter Studios. I travelled with two children and had three single beds in a small room, quite compact but clean. The shower set the smoke alarm... More
