Howard Winchester Hotel

This was the worst stay I have ever experianced in a hotel,Our room was in the basement with a small window over looking a very tiny court yard. There was a strong smell of surage in that area, at 6am we were woke up by prople smoking in the room above us they might as well been in our room it was so bad, you could here everything from the room above it was dreadfull, we had to get up and go out at 7am on a sunday morning to get away from it and we sat in Macdonalds on the corner of the road untill we went back at 9am , we ran the shower and it was cold, there was 1 very small bar of soap between the two of us.The experiance was that bad I am going to report it to a national TV channel.

In a good location to get to all the places we wanted, clean and comfortable, exceeding our expectations. Staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Would stay there again in the future.

Dining room was in the basement so a little dark and breakfast was average but did save us time finding somewhere before we started our day and was just as described so no real complaints.

Friendly and great value for money. Great location - have already recommended to friends who stay in London on business.

No air conditioning in the room - was an unusually hot night - normally this would not be a problem.

Simple and friendly. Good for an overnight stopover near St Pancras

I loved the location. It is 5 mins walking distance from Kings Cross Station which has excellent connectivity to the underground in london and for Euro & national Rail (Out of city). Our room was cleaned on a daily basis, although sheets were not changed in 5 days. It seemed more like a family place which was a good thing. the only reason to recommend this hotel would be for location and good environment.

1) The size of the room was about 8feet by 8 feet. The bathroom cubicle was 2 feet in width and 7 feet in length. The room was appropriate for a single person not for a couple. When we requested the reception to change the room, they said they were packed hence couldnt change. 2) There was no telephone in the room to call reception or the restaurant to order. 3) The bedsheets/pillow covers were not changed in 5 days. 4) No bath kits were provided

Top location, two blocks from Kings X station and near the pleasant Bloomsbury area of London. English breakfast - very few cheap hotels serve it and I'm not that crazy about it, but it's still more than many offer. Clean, and we were on a half-landing with only one other room, so it was quiet.

No tea making facilities and only one (dim) light in the room. Likewise, the breakfast room in the basement had extremely dim lights. Why? Also, the shower is more like a tap you stand under - there is no sprayhead at all, just a flow of water!

A comfortable and friendly hotel conveniently situated.

Simple breakfast is included and location is very near the train station with many small restaurants and fast food outlets within walking distance. Day counter staff is very friendly.

The advantage that it is facing park is also a disadvantage. Our room is on ground floor facing the park which means smokers like to stand outside to smoke and lack of privacy as there are always people playing balls in the park. This means we have to close the window and window blinds when we were in the room for safety and privacy.

it's silent, confortable, cheaper and near at the public trasport

the breakfast is amendable with some sweet and the tv was mal-funtioning

the breakfast was nice value for money there

the room was a bit too small and the shower head was very dirty and the water practically just trickled out

hotel situated right opposite kings cross station. although located in busy area the hotel was really quiet. It was clean, and the full english breakfast ( which was included in the price ) was really good. I would certainly use this hotel again as an overnight stay.

I got ready for a nice shower after a long day only to find no soap in the room at all. Had to go and find a supermarket and buy some. Other than that, no complaints at all.
