The location of the hotel was great. However, the hotel is very old and needs updating. The bedding is not clean and the room was very small. There was one very small bar for four of us and no shower gel. I asked for extra shampoo and shower gel and was told that I can't have them both! They gave me a very cheap and bad quality shampoo only so I walked to the shops and bought shower gel and shampoo. They charged a lot of money for a very small room and dirty beds. I will never go back there again.

Our room for four was cramped and awkward. The furnishings and everything about the place worn and unlovely. But the white cotton sheets were clean and the mattresses though springy and old were comfortable enough and we slept. The shower was hot with good water pressure. The hotel is on a pleasant street just a block from Kings Cross so incredibly convenient. The guys at the desk were tired but helpful. We were able to leave our luggage after we checked out for just 5 pounds apiece (half the price of checked luggage at the station). If you're not too fussy, this can work for a night or two if you don't plan on spending any time in the room other than sleeping and showering.

We were told to come back as room not ready at check in time. Went back and still not ready. The room inside was worse. Main plugs were behind wardrobes, beds. There was two single beds and a double. Room clearly was a double or two singles. No room to move. By didn’t work. Kettle has to be moved to the floor to plug in. Room was a mess. Would not recommend

Close to King’s Cross

First time staying here and it was during a crisis. Very close to King’s Cross and staff welcoming. Great room and size, bedding is very different with lots of thinner layers compared to a duvet which I do prefer.

Bed was NOT a double bed. Couldn’t open window as smell of weed filtered through from outside. Was extremely hot. Bedroom was extremely cramped. Bathroom was dirty. Water in shower drain still hadn’t soaked away. Towel to shower with was hand wash size. No hot water for shower - had to have a cold shower.

I would not stay here again, nor would I suggest it to others. We had a lot of luggage and were put on the top floor with no elevator. 3-4 flights of stairs. The WiFi barely works. The rooms haven’t been updated in probably 20 years by the looks of them. The rooms are VERY small. The room we purchased said that it slept 3 people. While that was true, the beds took up 90% of the room. There was barely room to walk through the room, let alone put our luggage. The bathroom is not big enough to get ready in. Barely enough room to turn around in there. The positive is that it is very close to the train station. However, note that you are far from all of the typical London attractions at this location. There is nothing really of note in this area.

Bed was not even a normal Double, No facilities such as kettle and coffee Tea Milk etc. Narrow stairs and no assistance with luggage as there is no lift. Only advantage was it was close to the Railway station would think twice about staying there again.

Elmwood hotel is very close to Kingscross/St Pancras, off of a quiet square a block or so off the Euston Road. It's convenient for coming and going from the airport or for getting anywhere you want to go in London.

Small single room. Laminate floor could do with replacing very worn but roo was clean and comfy for 1 night stay close to Kings Cross for onward travel on Eurostar. Staff were friendly. Overall a nice stay.
