I booked this hotel because i had stayed previously for business travel and i loved the decor, service and facilities. However it was disappointing that there is no longer access to the breakfast buffet in the basement which used to be very good. Also, there was no air conditioning in the room and the windows did not open, so even though it was late November the bedroom was uncomfortably warm. I can only assume this is a cost-saving measure or that the hotel has changed ownership and I am not sure I would return

Because I had to catch the 6:10am Euro Star train, I moved to the California Hotel to stay overnight. The check-in and check-out procedures are all done manually, and you have to wait 5-8 minutes during busy times to get a room. Next to the reception lobby is the dining area, which is good for ordering a drink and waiting. My room that night was on the ground floor of the hotel, which was great as there were no stairs to climb. Although the room is small, there is enough space to hang clothes, especially wet coats. The suitcase can also be placed under the bed to give a little more space to move around. Overall it is hygienic and comfortable, but if you have too much luggage, it will be a bit crowded.

It's very close to the train station, but the sound insulation is really bad, which is really a disaster for light sleepers. The attitude of the front desk staff is very good.

It's too bad, the room smells very strong, a smell of black perfume, the environment of the hotel is like a slum, it's too dirty

Decent spot near Kings Cross. Very friendly service. The bar was nice. Wouldn’t order the food from the restaurant however. Take my word for it. Rooms seemed very clean and comfortable.
