Stayed in a twin room with ensuite. Room was small but clean, and the beds firm but not uncomfortable. Double glazing kept traffic noise to a minimum. We were on the top floor - there are 50 steps to get up from the entry level, 65 from the dining room, so tricky for the less able bodied. Bathroom was very... More

We used this hotal as an overnight stop over for Eurostar for which the location is ideal. The reception was friendly and helpfull and seems to double as a living room! We were on the top floor with 3 flights of stairs which would prove difficult for anybody less mobile. The room was tiny, with a 3/4 double bed and... More

Nothing fancy but then it doesn't pretend to be. Stayed here when i went to a gig in Highbury and although the room was small and right at the top of the building it was spotlessly clean and tidy and very comfortable. Breakfast the next day was plentiful and tasty (choice of full english or continental) and the staff were... More

Apollo Hotel is a B&B in my own category. The whole stretch of Argyle St is full of B&Bs. It is simple, basic, but it meets the simple needs of London tourists who will not spend so long time in their rooms when in the city. The staff are friendly and helpful. Two choices for breakfast: full English and continental.... More

Hotel is a bit run down with small rooms and dated decor. In terms of location it is ideal for getting around London with tube and train stations on the doorstep. Good breakfast included in the price. More

We had a double room on the top floor up several flights of stairs, which was extremely small with a low ceiling. We knew from the photos on the website that there was only room to walk down one side of the bed, however it would not be suitable for anyone who was claustrophobic.. It was a heat trap with... More

The good - full English breakfast; friendly staff; central location. The OK - proximity to King's Cross rail station. The bad - the tiny, squashed room; the rundown state of the bathroom; the poor water flow in the room sink; a pillow on the stair floor which lay there for 12 hours; noise (slamming doors, pub nearby); the unexpected 3%...
