“Thanks to the Carlton Hotel for accommodating me last minute”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

I want to express my thanks to the Carlton Hotel Kings Cross for accommodating me on a busy Friday night at 1.30am with a perfectly acceptable single room with ensuite at a good price. I was booked into the Northumberland around the corner but when I saw how awful it was I knew I could not spend the night there no matter what. Nigel the receptionist was extremely kind and helpful. The rooms are basic but comfortable, pleasant decor, TV, tea/coffee facilities, clean well furnished ensuite, good ventilation and sound proofing. Great location. Really can't ask for more for a short break in London.

“Carlton near Kings Cross”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Well, after trawling through lots of reviews for London hotels we came across this one.
We booked a triple room for 2 nights.
We got there and found it to be very convenient for both Kings cross and st Pancras stations.
When we got there we were offered a quieter room in a newly refurbished building a short walk down the road, approx 50 yards. Room number 6
The room was very clean as you would expect a newly refurbished room to be.
It fitted our purpose, it was clean and reasonably spacious with TV and drink making facilities.
The shower was good, and all in all the room was an 8/10.
The only issue i had with the room, was that the wardrobe for me was facing the wrong way and looked like it was going to fall over for some reason.
The breakfast was included and it was a full English and a help yourself service, so it was a case of fill your self up!
We paid £290 for the 2 nights for the 3 of us. I would class this as reasonable for a London hotel with the stations so close, and breakfast included.

“Good Value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

Some people on here have been a bit unkind - you get what you pay for. We stayed for thee nights and everything was fine - I would have perferred more pillows, but we were able to solve this ourselves. When we checked in we were offered the option on staying in the newly refurbished rooms (a couple of doors along from the main hotel). The room was small but perfectly formed, warm and very quiet. Rooms where cleaned every day and we were given a copious number of towels. The breakfast was more than adequate and set us up for the day. We really enjoyed our trip - thank you.

“Ok for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

We stayed at Carlton for three nights. For the price we payed we didn't expect much, so it was nice to see that the room was clean (and cleaned every day) and in a room for 3 people there actually were double bed and a single bed, not just some old sofa bed. The bathroom was small but clean, there wasn't much hot water but we managed. Breakfast was a full english breakfast (buffet), which was ok for the price and kept us going for a long time. The location near King's cross is excellent. Not a luxury hotel, but a nice budget alternative!

“a labirynth”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

This Hotel was one of the worlst I've ever been on. I haven't stayed on but my family did and so I was there with them when they arrived. With some heavy luggages we're trying to find a room going up and down the stairs as there were many stairs leading us to doors which opened to more stairs. Result? We were exausted when finally found the room, which was really small for 3 people. My grandfamily's room was like a dungeon, as to go there we had to go loads of stairs (and again doors) down. Toilet dirty and smelly.
