Reviews of Northumberland Kings Cross Hotel

13 February 2012 Myrto would recommend this property

Liked: Really cheap accomodation and great location

Disliked: The low price comes with what someone expects, really old building and quite dirty

14 January 2012

Liked: Nothing.

Disliked: Everything was Bad, bad, bad. Didnt last 5 minutes. Had to pay cash, carpets are thread bare, stained and coming away from the walls which needed painting 20 years ago. Pretty sure we could have picked up a disease just touching stuff. Our room didnot have a light, just an empty socket. The. Lebanese owners were very smelly and dint understand why we left the hotel. And looked confused when we said the place was filthy, stinky and seedy.

Liked: La ubicación es el unico beneficio The location is the only benefit

Disliked: La estadia es pesima, muy mal, es sucio con malos olores y ruidoso, los baños son pésimos y no existe seguridad en las habitaciones, deberian de clausurar este lugar y de hecho HostelBookers no deberia permitirles anunciar mas sus servicios The stay is very bad, very bad, it smells dirty and noisy, the bathrooms are terrible and there is no security in the rooms, they should close down this place and in fact should not allow HostelBookers advertise their services more

14 December 2011 Sandy would recommend this property

Liked: The location over all obviously, 15 meters from the underground station, fast food and coffee nearby, friendly and helpful staff anytime, clean towels everyday, fridge in the room, feeling secure, hot water next floor when you want, never have to wait for.

Disliked: cleanliness of bathroom, mould in showers, bath, room's wall and moquette, heating during night than hot we have to let window open so noise from the street bothered a bit, slowness wi-fi access, cleaning ladies disturbing several times each morning, dirty kettles next to the floor and receptacles and wires.

Liked: Good central location, directly across from King cross tube and a Mcdonalds.

Disliked: The bathroom was inferior - the toilet didn't flush properly, one of the taps didn't work, the shower door was broken and the shower itself had low water pressure. Renovations are much needed to this. The walls and carpet was dirty, the Wifi internet unreliable and the bed was inadequately layered, meaning I woke in the morning with a chill.

11 November 2011

Liked: I didnt like anything about this hotel.

Disliked: The place was digusting I couldnt sleep. I thought i was going to get bed bugs the place was so horrible. People were screaming all night even though there was a sound curfew. The bathrooms were unsanitary. I had my room booked, they gave me the key and after searching for 20 minutes I returned to the desk to ask where the room was. They looked around didnt know where it was either. Finally they just took me to another room. The blanket on the bed looked like something they had taken from home because they ran out of blankets. The room smelled disgusting and opening the window only brought in a more foul oder. I was completely disappointed with the room and will never stay there again unless things drastically improve.

Disliked: the old moquettes

24 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: rooms and bathrooms were clean, and the staff were friendly

Disliked: it's nothing flash, which is fine if you don't mind that sort of thing. although our room did have 'charles manson killer suite' written on the wall, which was a little disconcerting. the only thing i would genuinely complain about is security - our rooms had windows that opened out onto a roof area that would be really easy to climb onto, and there was no way to lock the windows, let alone security screens!! we couldn't leave anything valuable there, which is not ideal. there may have been a safe at reception, we didn't ask.

23 August 2011

Liked: The staff were friendly and helpful

Disliked: The room was very bare - acceptable for a one night stay but no longer. The hotel generally was not in a good state of repair and, in terms of cleanliness, left much to be desired in the communal areas.
