Excellent value for money for solo business traveller wanting somewhere comfortable to stay with no frills. Rooms are small but clean. Being so close to Kings Cross does mean that you can hear the periodic rumbling of underground trains when staying on the ground floor. This concerned me when I first checked into the room but nothing to fear. You soon don't notice it and I had an excellent night's sleep; perhaps the gentle rumbling was slightly soporific!

The Fairway hotel is a great value for money deal. Its on a fantastic location - 1 minute on foot from King's Cross. Rooms provide all the necessary facilities for a short-term accommodation. Breakfast was not that good, but overall great hotel in Central London!

Cramped en-suite which was difficult to exit due to lack of handle. Be very wary of water from shower, VERY easy to get scalded. Steep stairway between floors.

Super location for st. Pancras & kings crossing. Off the Chunnel and out to heathrow, no worries. Great fish & chips at the north sea around the corner. Save money here and then have a pint at the St. Pancras hotel.

We found the hotel met our requirements very well, was clean and excellent value for money and the location was ideal for our needs. A big thank you to the guy on the desk (Winston) who was extremely helpful with directions and even printed them off for us. A good stay alround.

I think that this hotel is very appropriate for those who value quality for small price. Despite the fact that you live in a tiny space in your room and use common toilet and tower, the overall atmosphere is really very pleasantly and friendly. Great staff, good breakfast, extremely great location! Room is small but all details are considered. Highly advised! But be prepare that this is anyway b&b hotel, don't demand luxury. Common toilet and shower.

Nice staff. Convenient location especailly for tourists like us who travelled to London by train. Easy access to underground as well. Peak season. The room rate is really expense. Guess that's because the Games is coming.

Located 200 yards from King's Cross train and subway station which is right beside St. Pancreas train station. Restaurants are within easy walking distance. While very basic, breakfast was included (dry cereal, fried egg, baked beans, sausage, ham, orange juice, toasted white bread). Very tiny room, very basic amenities. Bathroom was a sink, toilet, and shower all bunched close together with shower curtain in our way while using the sink and no bathroom counter. Sounds of pigeons right outside the window coupled with periodic rushing water, a compressor, guests above us, and subway trains - not a peaceful sleep. No elevator so had to lug bags down narrow stairwell. Healthier breakfast choices would have been appreciated. All in all, perhaps in line with what to expect at this price in London, but one could never call it a pleasant stay.

Stayed as a group of four, price was great. Location fantastic. Great full English breakfast, staff friendly and helpful! ( Forgot to pack a hairdryer, reception gave us one to use) Spotlessly clean. Room was quite small but we had a great laugh trying to all manouvere around getting ready at the same time!!

Nothing fancy, in fact a long way from fancy. But it was cheap and in a decent location. Really needed some major modernisation but it was clean and that is the main thing in my book.

Staff were really helpful and kind. They were busy but still had time to help us and were very freindly. They understood what our needs were ie getting bags into room and secured and helped us out. They made ideal suggestion on what we could do n London for a day. Really close to station which was FANTASTIC with our heavy bags etc. Made breakfast for us early so we could leave and catch our train. I will always remember how good to us the staff were!

Excllent location very near Kings Cross station. Clean, warm and comfortable. Room small but adequate for short stay and recently decorated. Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good and freshly cooked. Price OK for this part of London. Bathroom very small and could do with refurbishment. It was clean however and everything worked and the water was hot.

it was very close to the st pancras station and there were a lot of stores and shops nearby. The hotel was also near to tube stations making it easier to get around london the room is very small . It was a tight squeeze for the three of us but otherwise it was clean.

Perfect location, central and within a very short walk of the Tube. The staff were very friendly, and very helpful when I needed it. Graet value for money, I would stay again. Parking is an issue. Outside the hotel you can only park for two hrs, or you can use a pricey local ncp car park, which I would not recommend, as I had a brick put through my back window while my car was there for two days.
