Swinton Hotel

This hotel is small but lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful. However, the elevator is quite old and make some scary noise. Overall it's nice. I would recomend this hotel.

I expect a 64 pound hotel to have a working WC but this hotel hadn't and they failed to fix it. They also state that the have wireless internet but the staff I met couldn't inform me if it was working. No bedlamp.

horrible ... rooms are narrow, smells, showers in actually combined with the toilette (do not image it), funny electrical installations

We searched for a decent hotel near downtown London in the 70-80 Pounds (we spent 70 here) and found this small 2 stars (and not one more) hotel conveniently located at about a 10 minute walk from the Kings Cross Metro station. The hotel room was clean but really small. They provided us with fresh towels every day (we stayed for 4 nights). The bathroom was tiny and a bit funky. The sink sported two separated faucets (hot and cold), the bedroom had a very small TV, a fridge a fan (for those few hot days). Overall, if you do not want to... more

Terrible, we boked this hotel for 4 nights on March 2006. We got the Garden view, it had to be a joke the view was of a patio with mold and cigarrete buts!!. The hall to our room wasn't wide enough to fit our lugage. The bathroom had no separation between the toilet and the shower. We left this hotel just minutes after arriving. There are 3 Travelodge hotels that charge the same in the surrounding area, they charge the same as this hotel and are way better.

This is another small, English hotel in a converted block of flats. Located in a regular, safe neighborhood near Kings Cross, a great hub for getting around London (10 min walk). The staff were friendly & helpful, the main areas were clean and looked after, and the room, while small, was comfortable and warm. The shower/toilet was a bit bizarre, but everything worked! Not expensive, I paid about £45 a night, I was really happy with it and recommend to the traveller who just wants a clean place to lay their head at night.

stayed at this fantastic hotel feb 2005 in the Bradford suite. My husband and myself could not fault this hotel in any way. Ther view from our room was amazing. The food was fabulous and the service was impeccable, nothing was too much trouble! We enjoyed our stay so much we are returning in July to stay in the Turret room,Can't wait.

I can say that I rather enjoyed my stay at the Swinton Hotel. I received an internet rate of 45 pounds per night. I am satisfied with saying that I got what I paid for. It is, what it is: a small hotel, with small rooms, small beds and small bathrooms. The room that I stayed in was very clean. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. It was nice to have the ability to make either coffee or tea in the room. The refrigerator was good to have also. Breakfast, which is included in the rate, was slightly above average. The... more

We booked a double en-suite room. The main problem was the "en-suite" which turned-out to be a small wardrobe-size affair with see-through ranch-style swing-doors ie no privacy whatsoever. After flushing the toilet we had to wait 10 minutes before it would flush again. The shower had almost no pressure. The "bathroom" (converted wardrobe?) had a build-up of grimy gunge between the tiles, not an attractive sight. We made our excuses and left a.s.a.p. What do you expect for £55 per night in London? you might ask. I would... more

Small but *clean* rooms, clean bathrooms, breakfast was OK but not great, overall a good deal for London. I would go back
