The hotel is in a great location just 100m from St Pancras/King's Cross stations and therefore next to a very good transport hub for getting around London. The hotel has clearly just been refurbished. There was actually still a strong smell of fresh paint in the room I booked. The hotel is classed as 2 star but is very clean,... More

I was a young female travelling alone in a single room. The close proximity to Kings Cross Station was what totally made it worth it! The station had basically every line stop at it so to explore the city it makes it very easy! I was travelling on a Topdeck tour, but had a few days in London to start... More

This hotel was ideally placed across the road from Kings Cross Station for a planned trip to the theatre and a day at the Grand Designs Exhibition in Docklands. Perfect for the underground to DLR and for public transport elsewhere. The hotel is in a terraced row and felt secure with friendly reception staff. The single room I was given... More

Stayed for one night on the 14th April. Asked for a room where we did not have to climb stairs due to mobility issues and were given a room on the level, so good. Room clean and breakfast good. A little noisy at night but that is due to thoughless people which you will get any where. Very good location... More

I stayed here on 24th April by myself. The room had been newly refurbished and was lovely - very clean and with everything I needed. I enjoyed breakfast too and the staff at the front desk were nice. Unfortunately at night the hotel floorboards were incredibly noisy and I had a very disturbed night. The floorboards in my room were... More

Hotel looks so much better from the front (and also the website). Room was on a high floor, up a narrow stairway with no lifts. No help was offered to get the 3 cases and 3yr old child up the stairs. The room would highly benefit from a complete startover, and we mean complete. The staff were friendly and the... More

This is a small hotel in a side street just about 80m from Kings Cross Metro Underground Station and st Pancras Railway station (for Eurostar). Clean rooms with nice breakfast. For London standards, a pretty good value for money. For short stays, I would not have a problem staying there again. I certainly have had much worse experiances in London... More

We stayed here overnight in March because of it's location close to St Pancras. Very basic room but adequate for our needs. One point of issue was there wasn't any hot water for a shower in the morning and as we were away early we didn't have time to complain. Breakfast was good although thepoachedeggs were on the "rubbery" side@... More

This is my 3rd or 4th stay at the California and I will continue to go there when in London. It is reasonably priced and although the rooms are small and could do with a little TLC, they are reasonably clean. The staff are helpful, the breakfast is standard and there is free wireless internet. In my book you can... More
