Homeless shelter

The "Hotel" had been converted into a homeless shelter 3 years ago but was still on the website. They even charged in advance which they are not allowed to.

This hotel has not been operating as a hotel since Covid broke out over a year and a half ago. It is used to house the homeless. I do not understand how you could book me there. I had to get another hotel on my own. When I called Orbitz, I was told it would take 7-10 days to get a response since they could not contact the hotel.

OYO Kings Hotel

The hotel is basic but okay for a short stay. I was on the very top floor and could hear a lot of noise coming from the rooms next door as the walls are very thin. The water pressure for the shower in my room was extremely weak which was a disappointment. On the plus side the bed was comfortable and the heating was adjustable so it never got too cold. The reception is actually located in another hotel around the corner, which isn’t clear when you arrive and I saw a few people confused when trying to check-in.

Excellent for the price

Considering this is a budget hotel and less than half the cost of a travelodge, it was excellent. Room, though small was very clean and tidy. On-suite bathroom very small but had everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again

It was a really comfortable bed & the double room was a good size for two people! The sink in our room made a weird noise everytime someone flushed the toilet though, and the very front door didnt seem to shut over from the outside so that should get fixed! However, everything else was great and even though the front door wasnt the best, there was another door behind it so it was still safe :) would come back

Room needs attention

Clean and comfortable. We used it as an overnight stop between travelling around h to St Pancreas, then on to Heathrow. Check in was ok (note, you check in around the corner at the other OYO hotel). Unfortunately, the lock on our room door was very stiff and took some time to open. The room was ok. The TV did not work and was unplugged. The Earth pin on the plug was broken off, so was unusable, as was the plug socket near the TV (which was taped over).

Do not stay here!

The venue was handy for Kings cross station. The hotel was very basic! There appeared to be one shower room shared between about a dozen rooms what from I could see. The shower head was filthy and the water didn’t drain away quick enough so the shower tray overflowed into the shower room floor. The bedroom was basic and the tv didn’t work. The entrance door to the hotel wouldn’t lock which I reported, however in the morning when I left I found it had been left unlocked all night! Nothing was done to repair it. I was told the inside door had a lock, so it wasn’t a problem! Would never stay here again. It felt more like a low grade student halls.

Stayed for just one night. This is a budget hotel so it is pretty basic - rather small room and bathroom and adequate rather than luxury furniture. Against this though the room was clean and the bed comfortable enough. I would say it certainly represented good value for money.....
