Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a great option in a very expensive city for people looking for a place that has a clean room to sleep and a clean bathroom in an excellent location. The standouts were definitely the friendliness and kindness of the staff. They were eager to help whenever we needed anything and made our stay very enjoyable.

A basic hotel, close to King's Cross station. Ideal for a 1night stay between plane and train journeys. Room was quiet and clean and able to leave luggage on check out until our train trip.

Thanks again!

Third time we have stayed at the Arriva Hotel. Always found it clean with comfortable bed and good shower. Staff friendly and approachable. Perfect for Kings Cross/St Pancreas. Good that it has a lift! Perfect for stop over. Good price for the area. Recommended.

Confortable but small room and shower. Very clean. Sadly the lift was not working during our stay so we had to carry heavy luggage up three floors.

The beds were fine, but the room had a strange smell. The walls were covered in holes and there was barely ever someone at reception. Additionally the windows didnt have locks nor did the toilet.

A good option for low cost travel, somewhere to sleep and amenities were clean - the room was acceptable for this purpose. However, in need of new carpets, wall paint and general fixing up - also pretty loud as the walls and floors are thin

Alexander

Disliked: Amenities
Staff were friendly but the property itself is a bit basic. The walls may be thin as I could hear people next door, above me and in the corridor. There was no air conditioning, though a fan was provided but it was an uncomfortable night. Fairly cheap for London so possibly can’t expect a lot and the staff seemed quite helpful.

Room was old/tired and in need of serious improvement. Ben linen was clean, but everything else was grotty. Tiny room & bathroom. BT phone on wall was probably bright white 30years ago, now all yellow. Probs 30 years since room last decorated! £160 for night was way too expensive!
