Disliked: Amenities
Bed was NOT a double bed. Couldn’t open window as smell of weed filtered through from outside. Was extremely hot. Bedroom was extremely cramped. Bathroom was dirty. Water in shower drain still hadn’t soaked away. Towel to shower with was hand wash size. No hot water for shower - had to have a cold shower.

I would not stay here again, nor would I suggest it to others. We had a lot of luggage and were put on the top floor with no elevator. 3-4 flights of stairs. The WiFi barely works. The rooms haven’t been updated in probably 20 years by the looks of them. The rooms are VERY small. The room we purchased said that it slept 3 people. While that was true, the beds took up 90% of the room. There was barely room to walk through the room, let alone put our luggage. The bathroom is not big enough to get ready in. Barely enough room to turn around in there. The positive is that it is very close to the train station. However, note that you are far from all of the typical London attractions at this location. There is nothing really of note in this area.

Elmwood hotel is very close to Kingscross/St Pancras, off of a quiet square a block or so off the Euston Road. It's convenient for coming and going from the airport or for getting anywhere you want to go in London.

Honored to be a 'regular' guest

The staffs are simply amazing, so helpful, friendly, and personable, almost like family friends once we get to know them. So comfortable to stay. Some noise from the outside or other guests with young children can be a bit disturbing but that cannot be helped and the staff will try to accommodate the needs, wonderful!

Kings Cross overnighter

The hotel was basic. A single bed in a room for an overnight stay, it was adequate but nothing special. Close to Kings Cross and moderately priced for London. Overnight was fine.

Great location for train and tube stations and the King's Cross food market stalls. Friendly and helpful staff. We had a triple room which had 1 double and 1 single bed, it was very small, but clean and had everything we needed. If you are on a budget, this is a great place to shower and sleep. No frills but it was quiet, clean and had comfortable beds with good housekeeping. Didn't t try the breakfast but appreciated the tea and coffee making stuff in the room. 4 stars from me only because the hallways/stairways need an update.

Good location, but very poor quality hotel.

Staff were pleasant, its in a good location but thats the only positives to be found here. The hotel is in need of a complete make over, really does need modernising. Everything is very old, the mattress should have been replaced years ago and offered no support. Pillows are of low quality and super thin.

Cramped and no ventilation

The room was very small, there is no elevator, and the bathroom was very tiny. There was no fan or a/c and the room was very hot. The front desk was staffed 24/7, so I felt secure. The bed sheets had hairs on them and there was mold in the bathroom.
