Very convenient location Damp room (smelly), no shaver-point, windows in very poor state of maintenance (hence considerable noise from street) Other London hotels offer better quality for the same money

I chose it as somewhere to accommodate three of us (mother, son, daughter in law) within walking distance of St Pancras International Railway station for a two night stay. It was clean, the beds acceptable and breakfast provided. It suited our needs for a non smoking hotel, obviously people smoked in the reception area at times - it stunk on occasions. We had a downstairs room, but if the window was opened, and the hot water turned on, we got a strong smell of gas

Very close to Kings Cross. Room clean, comfortable. Looks scary for lone female traveller---but is not. Price is right. Entry way and halls dirty, worn out. Tv not working. Looks scary at the entry--they could easily clean it up and give a very different vibe.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The room was cleaned to the highest standards every day. I spent a total of 19 nights there which was convenient to all surrounding transportation. For tourist and travelers, it is strategically located to all the major attractions of the Capitol.

- Staff was very friendly - Room was very clean and brand new - There was coffee and water facilities in the room - Bathroom was small but cozy - Hotel is very close to King's Cross station - Breakfast was very well arranged and very rich - Main lobby and corridors would just need to be re-painted or refreshed but the place is still clean.

The only thing a wasn't happy about. The tv in the room wasn't working. Had no signal. Not good when you have a child staying. They said it was due to the rain. But that ain't good enough. That might stop me booking The Swinton hotel again

The breakfast was excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful. It was within walking distance of the British Museum and within easy reach of several theatres. Have already recommended it to a work colleague. Lack of a table and chair in the room and the carpet was a bit shabby.

It is very reasonably priced so there is no expectation of luxury. It is close to the place I need to be over the weekend The girls in the breakfast room are pleasant and helpful The reception staff are not friendly so not a good introduction to the hotel. They are obviously bored and disinterested in the guests. The room I was in had an area on the wall where a hole had obviously been filled in with plaster but this had not been painted so the room did not look cared for.
