I really do not advise staying at this place. Me and my friend got to the hotel, confirmed my reservation etc and the woman turned round and said "So that will be £45 and we accept cash or card" To which I explained how I had already paid via the internet. She told me the £45 I paid was a... More

This is not the usual thing I do, write a slating review, but theres very little else to do. this place should be condemed.It is a health hazard on every scale. The bathrooms were like something out of a horror film.I imagine it's cleaner in a derelict building and possibly safer. If you do dare stay I suggest you take... More

this guest house is compared to other hotels in london quite cheap, but be careful. If you book a room there, this is what you get.: an ugly room, which doesn't look like those shown on the pictures you can see on the internet. A bathroom where you can't switch on the light and an another bathroom which is the... More

This is the type of hotel you expect to experience in Mozambique and not London!! The room quality was poor, bathrooms were inadequate and shared. The furniture was poor. The bedsheets and blankets were dirty. The only good thing was that it was cheap. For £10 more you could get something twice as good so i think its worth going... More

We ended up booking and staying somewhere else it was that bad. The website we booked through said own bathroom but it was shared facilities that were in... More

This is a Budget Guest House so don’t expect any frills. Location is fantastic - easy 7min walk from King's Cross station. Facilities are simple but totally adequate: TV; Kettle (with condiments); FREE Wi-Fi; Sink in room; Shared bathroom and toilet. Don’t be fooled by initial impressions. Dark lighting makes it look grubby, but when you look closer it is... More

As an indicator of things to come, our arrival at this guest house was marked with a decidedly sympathetic remark from our inquisitive taxi driver, shrugging this off, we entered. Pushing the door open into steptoes yard only missing a comedic squeak we quickly found the 'Receptionist' : ( the amount of despair i feel for this keeper of woe... More

My sister and I stayed with Budget Guest House in November this year. The amenities were basic but clean and warm, despite the freezing conditions outside. The value for money was great considering what situation I was put in unexpectedly. Being 8 months pregnant I suddenly went into labour and had to leave the hotel late at night leaving all... More

Rate is below zero. It's looks rather like a militant safe house. Everything is dirty and falling apart. Just a shameful shack. Expedia should be ashamed of having this hotel on it's site. More
