Oh friends.......the bathroom doors are made of frosted glass. So if you are traveling with friends and you want some privacy - you won't have it. The door is almost translucent as soon as it gets steamy in the bathroom from a shower. Not to mention, it doesn't block out any noises, so I hope you are SUPER comfortable with whomever you are traveling with. This is my only complaint about the hotel, otherwise I liked it. I enjoyed this hotel's closeness to Kings Cross/St Pancras - it made train travel super easy.

We needed a hotel close to the station for an early trip on the Eurostar to Paris, and this was absolutely perfect. Not even a minute’s walk to and from King’s Cross/St Pancras station. 24 hour reception. We were on the ground floor (thank goodness, because we had heavy suitcases) and facing the street, and so there was a bit of street noise but nothing too crazy. Also, every 5-10 mins you could hear a bit of a rumble as the trains passed far beneath us, but the location of this topped everything else for me.

Ok hotel, not really value for money at £138

The hotel was ok. Our room was in the bottom of the hotel, so was noisy. Some noises sounded like someone was moving furniture. The noise did settle down. The TV wasn't working properly ith the screen going of after 10 minutes. For £138 we didn't think room only was good value for money

Our only complaint is that we were not advised of the lack of an elevator beforehand. Upon arrival, staff assisted us with our baggage. However, upon departure, we had no assistance. This caused great difficulties for us as we were three floors up.

Great value

Lovely little hotel brilliant location, very noisy with building works across the road and extremely hot (even in November) there was a fan in the room but it didn't help. But the rooms were pleasant and the staff extremely friendly

rooms were very small, beds were old and rickety, mattresses were too worn, bed springs were about to go. no lift in the hotel, which was fine as we knew about it beforehand, BUT the carpeted stairs were worn and the steps were wobbly so it made the ascent and descent very dangerous.

Great location, affordable character

With warm greetings from staff upon arrival, The California, hosting some 60 rooms, is old-world boutique hotel, a comfy couch with a few bare threads in a location that’s hard to beat and a cozy patio for a coffee and croissant. The connected townhouses hide a warren of hallways and stairs where every room is different and reflects the cubicle style that seems to be rage.
