Comments: The directions from Kings Cross station were really easy to use. The area was nice and surprisingly quiet. Some of the staff were a bit unfriendly but all in all a good place to stay. I would definately consider staying here again if I was to visit London again.

Comments: The location of the hostel is good, but its cleanliness leaves you with a poor impression. Stains in the bathroom, a small shower and broken taps and kettles make this place a "second thought" option. However, the breakfast is the best I've ever had!.

Comments: This place was great! It was in a great location, right next to Kings Cross Station and Tube. Rooms were very clean and were cleaned every day. There is a FREE breakfast in the morning which was very good- a full , filling English breakfast included in the price of the room. British TV is an added bonus!! We would stay here again (and are going to in a few days!).

Comments: Good price for the location. Staff is friendly, breakfast is good. Small and tucked away, its charm helps compensate for its lack of frills. Rooms are small, but bed is comfortable enough and it is literally 3 minutes to the King's Cross tube station. You can definitely find more illustrious, more impressive places to stay. But if you want to spend your time in London exploring London, rather than lounging around your room, this is a pretty good place.

Comments: The location is super, a block from St. Pancreas and Kings Cross, so its great for getting around. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast is great. The rooms are clean and while they aren't huge they are adequate. The MscDonald Hotel is an excellent deal for the price and a great as jumping off point for exploring London.

Comments: On the arrival at the hostel we found dots on each blanket and the toilet was very hard to flush on. You must'd push three-four times to make it go. We lived in room no. 1. The breakfastroom was tiny so we had to wait too long to get our breakfast. However we were very pleased on the help we recieved from the friendly staff!

Comments: Very no frills; nice but small staff (only the owner seemed on hand to help, though he and the cleaning staff were very pleasant); there really isn't any internet access so it shouldn't say so, although I believe the owner will look something up quickly for you if you need it; great location, 1 block from tube

Comments: We had booked a twin ensuite, as there was no double ensuite available at the time, and when we arrived the manager asked us if we wanted a different room. So we ended up with a very nice double ensuite with a spare bed. Thanks!

Comments: Very good access to trains at King's Cross. One of the cheapest hotels in the vicinity. My ground floor room was a little cramped but it was clean. The place is well kept, and the front door stays locked. English and Continental breakfast offered in the morning.
