Basic but clean and safe

The hotel is basic, but clean, and I felt safe as a lone woman. One of the light fittings in my room made a very annoying buzzing sound and the light in the toilet was broken. Bed was comfortable and room a decent temperature. The epitome of “you get what you pay for”.

We loved our stay at the Macdonald Hotel! We were so welcomed and this stay really made our trip to London worth it. For the price we paid we got exactly what we anticipated. The photos online are exactly what was shown. The location is very convenient, there is train station less than 5 minutes away. If you need an affordable, simple place to stay this is for you! We will definitely be back for our next stay!

4 adults in a room ready for an early Eurostar, was fine for that, wouldn't want to spend more than 1 night though as the bathroom is very small and there is very little space for bags.

The staff and general property condition was acceptable, very close to Kings Cross station and St Pancras International Station. The cost however for what the property is I felt was overpriced. We paid £340 for two nights, this did not include breakfast and the room was cold with no additional heating. Having searched we could have got a better room which included breakfast less that 200 metres away. Was also issue with deposit that was paid, despite having clear evidence that I had already paid £170 I was told that this has not been received from Expedia and I had to pay the £340 in total, trying to get the £170 back is proving challenging with the hotel saying that they have not received it and Expedia saying they’ve paid it to the hotel.

Liked: Staff & service
While it was good value, the hotel could have easily made itself much better with just a bit of work on the bathrooms and decor. Also being on the 3rd floor with a large suitcase on those small stairs is an accident waiting to happen. It was also very noisy. I understand being in the heart of London and great location, but even for the price I paid I would expect slightly more. Not recommended unless you are young and just using the hotel for a bed

About 1 min walking from King’s Cross station. Room and communal areas very clean. Good heating. Negatives: Narrow, wobbly stairs. Flat pillow. Toilets do not have a sink but there is a sink in your room. Thin walls so you can hear everyone around you in their rooms.
