The House of Toby was ideally located for a city break. The hotel staff were friendly and willing to go above and beyond for their customers. We would highly recommend this hotel for its central location. We were able to drop our suitcases off within minutes of being of the train at King Cross.

Good basic hotel
Hotel was basic but just right for an overnight stay. Perfect location for getting around london. Downside was there was Quite a lot of road noise and thin internal walls so could hear adjoining room quests talking showering toileting and banging doors. Good basic hotel though, would stay again with earplugs . Good value for money

Hotel staff were really lovely and went above and beyond helping us up the stairs with the pram. The bathroom was lovely with fresh towels. Tea was good. Beds were comfy. Could do with a lick of white paint in some areas but that was minor. Good central location for us to get to the Eurostar. Early check out was no issue. Bar was helpful to get drinks. Netflix was a bonus on the tv. Enjoyed the eco body wash and had no reaction with sensitive skin ❤️

Nice enough but room was tiny.
Location good for Kings Cross. Place was nice enough but the room was super small. Had less than a foot either side of the bed. Room was clean and tidy though.

Don’t bother!!!
Was in G05 right next to the air handling units and the construction work. No chance of any sleep. If I was told prior to booking I’d have gone to the Point A hotel on the corner. Other rooms may be ok. But the ground floor ones out the back….don’t waste your money!
