Belgrove Hotel

Surprisingly I remember this place always when I am in trouble. I stayed there in 1998 when could not get reurn flight in time. And in January 2006 when I stayed one night in one so called 3 star hotel, with a small room in front of a busy noisy road where I could not sleep whole night. And then I reminded my old choice. This Hotel looks small from outside and have smaller and simple rooms but have all facilities and is very close(2 minutes walk) to Kings Cross Tube station. So you save for taxis. And is at a very safe location but on a... more

Even as a budget hotel this leaves so much to be desired. The room was tiny, the furniture barely functional and the cleanliness dubious. The radiatior was much too large for the room and its controls were broken off - it turned the room into a sauna. In the morning we found the shower either dribbled tepidly or went off altogether. There was no plug in the tiny wash hand basin, so washing was problematic to say the least! Next breakfast - sausages with no obvious meat content - bacon with more salt than bacon and eggs with more... more

great location right near king cross station which is very near the center there was no place over a 30 minute ride.quiet at night, clean rooms bathroom and shower-it may be some what small but its enough, nice staff very helpful, across the street there was a tesco (a supermarket) lots of fast food places (fish and chips, subway, starbucks, mcdonalds, kfc...) and also safe to walk through at night. the breakfast was fine but since it was the same every morning it got a little boring plus hardly any choices for veggitarians. there was also a... more

This hotel is cheaper than some of the other budget hotels in Kings Cross but standards (escpecially of the rooms are much lower). I would rate it only slightly above a hostel. Our twin room was very tiny, with no tea/coffee facilities. The rooms and most of the corridors have bare light bulbs. The furniture and fittings are very shabby. There was no hot water for 24 hours of our stay and in the shared showers you are expected to hang your towels etc. on upturned nails attached to the wall! On the plus side, the building... more

Avoid at all costs - especially if single female traveller. Staff were unfriendly and the locks on the doors & windows left me felling very insecure and unsafe in my room (or should I say box). The toilet leaked and there was no plug in the sink. The best thing for this hotel is to knock it down.

This Hotel is value for money, clean, a large English breakfast, and the staff are superb. Its not a five star Hotel its basic, well located for tranis and buses, it is located opposite Kings Cross and the British Library. We will stay again and again. Give it a try. at the price its unbelievable,

Alright it wasn't the ritz, but for the price of £50 for a double bed and a single, for 3 nights, I certainly couldn't complain. The room was absolutely spotless, we had a small toilet and a small shower cubicle, which was more than adequate when you are out all day and just want to freshen up. The breakfast in the morning was wonderful and again everything was spotless. The staff there were so helpful and told us exactly how to get anywhere we wanted, but to be honest being directly across from Kings Cross, you had unlimited advice on... more

Do not waste your time and money on this place - the rooms were dirty, unappealing and claustrophobically small I booked for the weekend 11th December took one look at the room and left and booked elsewhere (IBIS Stratford). The defining factor was the piece of string to pull on the light in the bathroom - or should i say cubicle and the scaffolding outside the window - theifs help ourselves... Now got a bit of a complaint procedure to go through as they still charged me for two nights when I didn't stay.

i needed a place to sleep for just the night before taking the train to stansted for a flight. i found this little place from the "london ahoy" newsletter, as a reliable cut-rate hotel. my room was a 4th floor walk-up. it was clean. the bathroom was spotless. the room had a small tv, with coffee machine also. there was a shower stall in one corner. it too was clean and inviting. i had a fine sleep. breakfast in the morning was a full english breakfast buffet, with 2 very helpful waitresses to offer any assistance as needed. it was... more

Definitely not recommended. The good thing I can say about this "hotel" is its location, next to King's Cross. Stayed there for two nights, in a single room with bathroom. Room was tiny (even for a London budget hotel..), the bathroom.. tiny too and had a "eau of sewage" smell (which was made worse due to the fact that the bathroom door wouldn't close, so the smell was everywhere. No cold water, only hot and scalding. Try having a shower with scalding water..! Window would not close completely, all through the night a constant... more
