Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was nice, but the beds were uncomfortable and the breakfast didn't have a whole lot of options and was $15 a day for breakfast. It is close to Kings Cross so it was nice for convenience and McDonalds was right next to Kings Cross so if you wanted a larger Varity for breakfast you could just go there.

Excellent!!
Good hotel for myself who’s a solo traveler. I felt safe. The room was cleaned to a good standard, towels, shampoo and soap provided, also coffee making facilities in the room. The reception is 24hrs, the front desk people were so very nice and polite. The hotel is very close to Kings Cross. Overall I’m very happy and happily impressed with my stay in the Elmwood hotel. I will choose this hotel again for future stays. Thank you.

Small but adequate room with separate toilet/shower. Three double elec sockets and one single for the Telly.Double bed very comfortable.Never saw a dining room so I don’t know whether breakfast was provided or not.Didn’t like the dark street outside for fear of being mugged but I was ok.I would say good for a single guy but maybe not enough room for a couple.

I was staying for a couple of nights for convenient access to two places of work. Unfortunately what I really needed to do in the few hours I had between morning and evening jobs on the second day was sleep, which was the one thing this hotel was really not geared towards. Rooms are completely un-soundproofed. From banging outside which could have come from roadworks but felt like they were banging on the wall of the building, to footsteps stomping and babies crying upstairs, the room did not provide a peaceful environment to sleep during the day. It was fine at night time. The mattress was old and worn, the shower didn't have a proper mount so had to be hand held or angled upwards. Benefits were the 24/7 reception and very short walk to Kings Cross Station. I wouldn't call the price 'cheap', but it is Central London and the price was cheap compared to everywhere else.
