I booked this hotel mainly due to its location as it was very close to Kings Cross and the Eurostar terminal as i was on my own with my 2 children aged 9 and 4 on route to Disneyland Paris. On arrival a man on reception informed me that i was staying on the 4th floor no offer of help or any information regarding breakfast etc. After a long struggle with 2 cases 2 bags and 2 kids ( up lots of stairs) we arrived at room 45. It was next to the shower room (which i refused to use very dirty) and the toilet which was blocked after about an hour of our arrival and was still like that when we left. First impressions of the room were of shock i could not believe that a hotel would rent a room out in this condition. The back was hanging off the wardrobe the doors were hanging off, the drawers were broken and the wallpaper was brown with dirt. It was very hot and the windows wouldnt open either. In the morning we went down for breakfast the food was very basic. The bacon was overdone the beans cold and the coffee very bitter. The whole experience was horrible. I would never ever stay here again!!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty, impossible to fall asleep , so much noise, dirt averywhere, 5 nights and sheets no changed, the smell Pictures of room does not match in terms of reality .No shower lock or toilet Sink tap half broken,doors have not seen basic rep. probably since 1950.The worse: prostitutes comming ,I booked the EUROPEAN HOTEL but got there to find out they lost my reservation so they put me up in the Belgrove. I was not happy as researched both hotels on tripadviser and knew the belgrove wasn't good but there was nowhere else free at last minute that i could afford. I paid £55 for a single en suite in the European but got a triple in the belgrove...NOT as good a deal as you think..read on...

the doors fire doors were propped open illegally with fire extinguishers.
My room door didnt open fully into the bedroom - illegal again. the shower room had cracked broken tiles, open seals and the hot water took 5 mins of running to come thru.

The toilet cubicle has a plastic cistern with cig burn marks all over it (non smoking room too!) and the place stunk of sewerage. The bin hadn't been emptied either.

the bedroom was a double and single bed crammed into a small room with a small tv exposed pipes and wires strewn across the walls and floors trip hazard for an adult let alone a child. the room over looked roofs and backs of buildings with the smokers area right outside and the back of a fast food joint pumping stick into the room via the broken latched sash window.

the walls and surfaces were marked and burned. the bed was no comfy but had smells on the pillows and holes in the sheets,

on my arrival a man was staying there and brought his "fiancée" for a visit - clearly a prostitute!

Awful, awful place

Had to find a hotel near King's Cross at very short notice and within company budget.
Anyone expecting the Marriott should book a room in the Marriott and pay their prices.
This is a budget hotel in perfect location.
Clean
Excellent breakfast
Room could do with a lick of paint and the bathroom ceiling was peeling, otherwise clean and in a good state of repair.

Glad we didnt read the reviews before we booked. Hotel is clean and the rooms are okay. Not amazing but what do you expect for such a low price in the Center of London. Would definitely stay here again.
