Crestfield Hotel

Great hotel. This hotel has to be one of the best budget hotels in London. We stayed for 2 nights in July 2004 in a double room with shared facilities. The room was clean and the shared facilities were just outside our door. The hotel staff were friendly and the breakfast was good - cereals, toast, tinned fruit, fruit juice and tea/coffee. It was about a minute walk to Kings Cross Station and had a 24 hour reception. We will definately be staying there again. The only problem we had was our room was in the basement and so because... more

This is a Great hotel. My husband and I stayed 3 nights from the 21st to 24th July. Had a Double Ensuite room, it was very clean, an smelled good. The tube station is a half of a block away. Also the front desk, breakfast and bar staff, are very helpful. (Including little Jack) I would recomemmed this hotel to everyone, who wants to be close to the sights and pay for a clean nice room.

We stayed at the Crestfield for 5 days in mid-June 2004. We are a family with two girls 4 and 8 and we had a family room on an upper floor of the hotel. The room was compact by US standards but clean with a TV and an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom was very small, with the shower contiguous with the rest of the bathroom, separated by the shower curtain. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. THe hotel's best feature is its bar and garden area which is delightful. The bar is open 24 hrs. The breakfast room is large and immaculate.... more

I stayed at the Crestfield Hotel for 9 nights from June 9 with my mother. The location was great and the hotel clean and the staff friendly & helpful. The rooms were very small, but for that price I could not complain. Breakfast was included and consisted of cereals, some fruit cocktail and toast & beverages. Simple but adequate! My mom had problems scaling the stairs up to the 3rd floor as she had bad knees(no elevator) but otherwise there were no problems. I will definitely stay there again!

My son booked me in for 4 nights last May. The room was small but very clean and comfortable. The staff carried my heavy bags up the 3 narrow flights of stairs and wouldn't take a tip. (A pleasant change after 2 weeks in the US where every surly SOB expects to be rewarded for it.) The young couple who seemed to run the Crestfield were really great and the location is spot-on.

The best thing about the Crestfield is its location - literally a 20 second walk and you are at King's Cross station. The room I had was small (and I found the double-bed to be on the small side as well, and it was only me using it) and the bathroom was tiny, but the room was clean. And that is the most important aspect of all. Breakfast was OK, and the staff I met were all friendly. I like the 24 hour reception service as well. Overall it is good value for money, and not at all the kind of hotel you see on those "horror hotel" documentaries... more

I just stayed three days at Crestfield Hotel with my boyfriend and would like to reommend it to other people if they want a good affordable hotel. Although our (small!) doubleroom with bathroom unluckily was located in the basement :-( with a tiny window, it was clean and well furnished. The breakfast was perfect: cerials, toast with jam, fruit- juice and salad. The staff was also friendly. It was no problem reserving through the internet. If you want a cheap room with a bathroom (shower) its perfect.

We had been on a trip to London 9 years ago and we did not have high expectations of the standard of accomadation in London! But this hotel more than surprised us. The rooms were very comfortable and pleasant, even by US standards. The staff at reception and in the dining room were extremely helpful and friendly. If you are looking for a clean, pleasant and affordable stay, right in the center of London, stay here. Scott.

I stayed at the hotel from March 16th to March 22nd with a friend while visiting London. The room was clean, staff was very friendly, the free breakfast was filling and good. We were about 2 blocks away from King's Cross tube station, 4 blocks from the police station, and 1 block from McDonald's! When I return to London, I will stay at Crestfield and have recommended it to others.

I booked a room for the Crestifeld two months ago. Upon calling today to confirm the reservation I was told no such reservation existed, and that my original reservation made with 'Sylvia' (a confirmed employee) would not be honored. Book here only if you like a little last minute stress before your vacation while you scramble maddingly to find a new hotel.
