It's proximity to King's Cross Station. This is a small hotel, with a small foyer. It would seem it is undergoing some renovation work as there was scaffolding affixed to the front facade. Our room was small which was okay, but the room itself needed refitting. Paintwork etc. Carpet not good. I was pleased I had taken my slippers! However, there was tea, coffee, water and biscuits. Breakfast was adequate and enough to eat.

The price and location were very good, it is only 10 mins walk from kings cross station, the rooms had been done out since last time I stayed there, The staff were very courtious, the rooms were small and compact and had a good size tv for the room which had freeview on the tv, although the rooms were small and compact they were en suite. The room was compact and small, ok for me, may be too small for others, the shower was weak, it appeared that they were brand new and there were some gremlins in how they operated

Nice powerful shower and the room was very clean. The room was very small and it was very old with the walls needing some new plaster in places. only 1 flat pillow each and a very thin duvet.

Close to city centre. When we checked in, we were first told the booking was not valid. Eventually they advised they had our name. No airconditioning in the room. A baby fan did not do the job!

The staff were helpful and courteous, both on the phone and in person. The hotel is easy walking distance from Kings Cross Station. The room was very shabby and not very clean. The walls were thin and consequently sleep was hard to come by. Overall it was about the standard I would expect of a hostel rather than a hotel.

“The staff at Crestfield were absolutely friendly and helpful. The room was small as are all London hotels that are affordable, but I didn't mind it at all. The best part of staying at the Crestfield Hotel is the location. It is a block away from the King's Cross tube stop, which is in the heart of the city. Also, the Pancras International train station is there as well, making easy to grab a train to France/Belgium and the rest of Europe. Can't beat it!” Tony, Studio City |
