Excellent location almost across the street from Kings Cross and St. Pancras. Very helpful staff. The room and bathroom were clean. The bathroom was a bit small but sufficient, though it was a step up from the room, which felt a little weird. I would definitely stay here again.

Friendly person on reception. Online system was down so had to sign in manually which took a while. Room was very dated and in much need of repair and an upgrade. Quite noisy as it is Central London. Plus point is that it's very close to King's Cross St Pancras and is cheap.

Room was clean and neat. The bed was really comfortable equivalent to a five star hotel bed. However, the climb on stairways was steep and narrow having to drag suitcase to the top which can be dangerous if one slips. Not recommended for elderly.

Location makes day trips easy a

We found the Central Hotel to be exactly as it was described - a clean and well run hotel that provides a basic center-point from which to experience the local attractions and a secure place to store one’s luggage while away to some of the many locations made available through the St Pancras international station. We were able to leave for Paris on an early train, spend the day sightseeing, and return on a later train. The location is fantastic and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The Central hotel worked well for our budget and we won’t hesitate to stay there again should we return to the area.

Good find. Will definitely use again.

Great little hotel close to Kings Cross/St Pancras. I had a small single room with shared bathroom just down corridor but it was fine for a one-night stay. Very comfortable bed and good supply tea/coffee making facilities and a fan. Can obviously be noisy so close to busy area so best pack ear plugs. Was on top floor so need to say if your mobility is an issue. Very friendly staff and was able to leave my bag with Reception before and after check-in. Will definitely use again.
