Found this hotel to be tucked away from the main hustle and bustle around Kings Cross Station, but also a very short walk. Upon entering it feels cosy and clean, The receptionist was very pleasant and dealt with my check-in quickly. Room was on the ground floor at the rear of the building which turned out to be very quiet with no noise at all. It was a bit on the small side but it had everything in it that I required as I was only using the room to sleep in as I work in London all week and this suited me down to the ground. Bed was comfortable and clean and the room was cleaned every day. What more can you ask for. Would I stay here again... Definitely, for the price I couldn't complain. I have been told by colleagues who have also stayed here that the breakfast is excellent although I couldn't verify that as I didn't have it.... But it did smell nice....

The European Hotel is close to Kings Cross station and there are a couple of decent places nearby to dine out on a budget. The hotel is clean and is ideal for anyone on a tight budget who only want a couple of nights. I did not find the staff very engaging and the room was very small and basic.There was a kettle in the room but I did not use it as the plug would not go all the way into the socket. The telly was unusable as not one of the four channels was properly tuned, there was no remote and if you did not press the buttons on the front quite right you ended up with three volume controls . The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever tried to sleep in. But at the end of the day it is a budget place to stay, and all I have listed is small niggles, if you want space and comfort you go to a big hotel.

Decent English breakfast, clean rooms (also the bathroom), small rooms but ok, everything worked well including bulbs, shower, television, tea making facilities; and the location near King's Cross couldn't be better I would have top rated the hotel in category "value for money" had it not been for the very impolite staff; we certainly didn't feel welcome and were very pleased that we had no problems that called for their assistance. It would have been difficult to obtain I think!

This hotel was terrible - disgusting and dirty. There was mould in the bathroom and shower therefore unable to take a shower. Some of the bed- sheets also had mould on. Only stay here if it is an absolute must although we will definaetly never stay there again. Whilst the family rooms are large the place is dirty and therefore not very relaxing not being able to wash or sleep!!

I stayed at European Hotel due to its very close proximity to St.Pancras Station as I had an early morning 6.50 am Eurostar to catch. The hotel is very basic but served my purpose. I has delighted that staff offered to have breakfast ready at 6.30 am instead of the usual 7.30 am so that I could have it before I left of the early morning train. Toilet functional but very small.

Handy location near Kings Cross. Basic facilities, but clean _ just right for a budget overnight stay. English breakfast was limited for choice but nevertheless enjoyable. We had a really comfortable nights sleep.

I traveled by myself and was looking for the cheapest hotel room but still wanted some privacy (this is why shared rooms in hostels were not an option for me). Besides, I spent most of the day (9am to 1am) out of the hotel and when I got back to the room I spent 95% of the time snorting happily with my eyes shut so I can't complain too much about the look of this hotel. 1> They keep the hotel clean and tidy (but remember, the writer of this review is a male, and accordingly is the definition of "clean"). 2> The location is great! I arrived from Paris by the Eurostar train and left to the airport by the Piccadilly line (both arein just 3 min walk from the hotel). 3> Free high-speed WiFi 4> A kettle, cup, and coffe & tea set in the room. used it only once but was nice to have 1) The rooms are small. Very small. I got a tiny room (single bed) with an odd structure where the shower is actually a small closet in one corner and the toilets are a niche in the opposite corner. 2) The breakfast is definitely not something you'd tell your family and friends about. It's not that I had high expectations but the quality is really poor and the coffee does not deserve the title "coffee" at all.

Easy access to St Pancras. Good café within five mins walk. Approachable staff. Top floor, no lift. Hot water in bathroom sink almost non existent. Hot water in shower takes about five minutes to warm up, very low pressure. Possibly due to being on top floor.

I liked its proximity to Kings Cross station and the convenience of dropping my bag there in the early morning . I think the room I was in could do with being redecorated

It's location is really good and so full of potential. The place is dirty, noise from other rooms and floorboards is unbearable and fire safety does not meet normal standards. The breakfast area is inaccessible to people with walking difficulties and claustrophobic with no visible fire escape. Just short of hostel standards. Never again.
