We stayed in Arriva hotel for one night prior to a Eurostar trip. The hotel was basic, but conveniently placed, clean, with everything we needed. The staff were friendly and the room was in good condition. The hotel was excellent value for a place in central London so close to St Pancras station.

The location was excellent, only a 5 minute walk to Kings Cross station. Ideal if you’re travelling on the Eurostar. Buses on every corner to take you anywhere in London. The hotel was good apart that it had no air conditioning (a fan during the hot nights barely did the job). Staff very helpful.

Clean, comfortable hotel, very close to Kings Cross. The bed was comfortable and the shower good. The reception area is a bit daunting and looks like a hostel, but don't be put off; staff are friendly, efficient and helpful. Perfect for an overnight stay with reasonable rates

Room was as clean as it could be - the addition of the fan was fabulous! Struggled to close the external window which meant the curtains blew over the bed. Overall a good stay, would stay again.

I always stay here - close enough for everything I need, far enough from the main road to be quiet for a good night sleep - rooms are always clean and the staff are always lovely, so can't really ask for much more
