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.
The bathroom exhaust was noisy. Also, the sink wouldn't drain well. The breakfast was meant to be served from 07.30 but they delayed it, so i left without having breakfast. Wouldn't recommend.
Dirty room, no towel provided and meager breakfast.

The staff were lovely and friendly, but our room was much smaller and more rundown than it appears in the photos. London hotels are very expensive, but this didn’t feel worth what we paid.Overall, it was comfy and quiet and the location is great, but we didn’t want to do anything but sleep there.

Absolutely disgusting!
Very dirty! Hallway carpet not seen a hover for a long time, same as room. Cobwebs everywhere! No sink plug. Could not fill kettle, no space in dirty sink to fill. Dirty unusable shower and very stained towels. Waited ages for entry to Hotel. Apparently, attendant was in toilet! Very expensive £90 for one night. Only convenience being near to St Pancras Station for very early morning Eurostar train to Brussels Midi, then to Brugge Station. Got to be better hotels, would not recommend this place to anybody.
Chap on reception was great, very friendly and accommodating. Appreciate it wasn't expensive but the comfort level was very poor. Did not have a good night's sleep and the room was tiny

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Suit our needs as only needed a bed to come back to at night. The 2nd member of staff that worked the front desk after check in was rude with limited costumer skills and not helpful
It was an overnight stop before travel. It was clean and bed comfortable and for its pupose was ideal. The room was very small and also shower space. TV did not work11
Room felt unclean and old. No lights on stairs to room. Linen felt very used. Shower didn’t drain and shower head didn’t fit properly in holder. Double bed was only a big single and not suitable for couple. Would not recommend.
Perfect for King's Cross Station. Efficient, straightforward, clean and safe. Continental breakfast at reasonable price and ample portions. Will definitely go back.
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.
