Crestfield Hotel  

The location is convenient - only a few steps to King's Cross/ St Pancras which means that one can reach the main attractions in town quite quickly. The adjacent area is not very nice though and there are not many restaurants other than the usual fast food chains. Employees were friendly, could tell me the way to the closest area with restaurants but were sometimes not very proactive: For example, there was a false fire alarm one day and the woman at the reception did not give any explanation so people standing in the "lobby" had to make up their own mind whether to go back to their rooms.

The room was way below any standard and quite depressing; not even especially dirty but old and very worn out, eg colour coming off from the walls, an old carpet, etc. The furniture consists of camp style beds, a small open shed, an old table with a chair and and a stool for a suitcase. Toilet and shower are on the same level causing floods every time you take a shower. There are not many places to store things in the bathroom. The remote control for the tv was crusty. I could go on but I think readers get the picture: this hotel is not value for money (I paid 100 - 90 gbp per night), not even for London and I think you are better off booking a room in a modern youth hostel.

The staff was the friendliest I'd come across on my trip, and I felt very welcomed there. I'd just come from a hotel down the street for the same price that was grungy, had broken handles on the furniture and scum on the showerhead, and was very noisy. To get to this room I had to go up a few flights of stairs, but I arrived to find my room was very clean and bright, and very cheery. Also, the bed was so comfortable. I was traveling alone and all they had left was a double, so I can't speak for the single rooms but the double was very cute and clean. There was coffee and tea service in the room so I immediately made myself some tea and sat back!! The location was superb, 2 min. Walk from King's Cross Station, 4 min. Walk from the British Library, 15 min. Walk from the British Museum. Shopping on Oxford St. Was about a mile away. There were small grocery stores and fast food restaurants all around. The great thing about it is it's far enough away from the busy streets that it's quiet. If you're looking for clean, comfortable and convenient and don't mind paying around 75 gbp for a double, (which is only a little more than I paid at the other budget hotels in the area, and the same price for the dumpy one) then I can highly recommend this hotel to you. I wish I'd found it sooner in my trip, and I'll be sure to stay there next time I visit London.

There was no lift, but in the budget hotels around that area this was common. I only had to haul my luggage up and back down once so it wasn't a big deal to me. If it's too difficult to haul your luggage up you can just take what you need and leave it in their luggage room where it will be safe. It was a great little hotel...I Was happy there.

It's basic but clean and warm, the location is really good, just few steps away from kings cross. Our room is in near the garden, so we must close the window all the time. And we can hear the nosiy from the kitchen to prepare the breakfast from 3 A.M.

The sink is blocked & too much noisy

The hotel room with ensuite was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. We had a triple room which was fine for the two of us. It is very close to St Pancras station so was perfect for an early start.

The location was convenient very close to St. Pancras Station and Kings Cross. The terrace was nice and the bed was confortable and clean.

My daughter and I were in one of the 4 very small rooms in the basement. It smelled humid, the (shared) bathroom was very dark and small, had a very low ceiling and was not very clean.

Very friendly staff. Nice and welcoming - very much enjoyed. Basic but clean and very convenient location for Eurostar. Although a budget hotel, it looks (starting from the outside) that it is being looked after and it feels welcoming.

The lower ground rooms feel a bit clostrophobic with little space and limited light from small window - but perfect for a short stay if you are just looking for a decent bed to sleep in without spending a lot of time in your room.

The bed linen was clean. The location was good for the Eurostar and mother main line stations.

The bathroom was very grubby and the wash basin very small and old. We did not use the shower as it looked dirty and very old The bathroom needs replacing. The shelf in the bedroom was broken and falling off the wall. The towels although clean were very thin. No bedside light either. The breakfast room is too small for the number of guests

Most, I enjoyed quality of the breakfast and stuff friendliness as well.Room was extremely clean and quiet but small.

The room was quite small but with all necessary appliances equipped.It was a best choice for a budget hotel near the most important sightseeings in London. Practically, you are connected with all the city sites through St Pancreas and King Cross station which are only 3 minutes away from hotel.Use a Oyster card to travel as cheap as the London transport allows to do so, otherwise you will pay double or treble.

We needed a hotel near St Pancras for an early start the next morning. The Crestfield Hotel fitted the bill admirably. The staff were very helpful and the continental breakfast well organised. Rooms were clean and comfortable. All in all a very satisfactory experience

The only thing that could be improved would be if there was a lift as the stairs were very steep.

The whole trip was made very easy and straightforward - helpful and friendly staff at reception, clean room with good facilities, perfect location and a generally very pleasant place to stay in.

The bathroom was slightly dated, but for the price it was more than adequate!

The location - very close to Kings Cross Station and Underground with direct Piccadilly line tube to airport and various museums. Easy walk to museums and city.

The tiny room for 3 beds. The stairs which were not suited to luggage.

even though its small its still very comftable cause it has got all neccessaries.

breakfast is served very early.

Very straight forward, polite staff. Excellent proximity to Rail station.

No bedside lamp, in my room. Had to switch light off by door at switch on wall.
