Hotel Central - London

8.5

Pretty good value. Cheap furnishings but adequate for a couple of nights.

5.4

Onestamente l'hotel è carino e la vicinanza alla stazione King's Cross è davvero strategica. L'unica cosa è che mi hanno messo alla stanza numero 2 che era praticamente sottoterra e attaccata alla sala colazioni e la mattina, come facile immaginare, in stanza c'era un odore di fritto pazzesco. Attenzione quando prenotate un taxi tramite albergo: a me che dovevo partire alle 3 di notte non è arrivato (l'ho bloccato io per strada) e se vi arriva, comunque, pagate una tariffa maggiore rispetto al normale.

8.7

Very nice hotel. Excellente location, easy to move around and easy to get to the airport. Close to good restaurants and food. I would come back.

7.2

Very warm and friendly staff. Excellent location and very well connected. Rooms were small, but manageable. Bed and floor were noisy because of soft wood construction. Overall very good and safe place!

8.7

We only stayed one night, and left before breakfast, as we had an early Eurostar to catch. We had a family room for the four of us, which was very small, almost no space between the beds, but perfectly clean and comfortable, and the shower was superb. The young man on reception was pleasant and helpful. Would happily stay here again.

6.9

Room clean but small, good english breackfast, very very close to 5 underground line and 2 railway station. quiet street. Room very simple but confortable. Very small sink. In the downstairs room you heard the background noise of the tube (it didn't disturb). We'll return to central next time

I stayed with my wife in London for 3 nights, and it was great, Central hotel was the most adequate price/value hotel I found to be near King's Cross/St Pacras Station (This was the reason we stayed there, as we were leaving to Paris on the Eurostar later). A note of advice is that there is a Central and a "Fairway" Hotel in front of the central managed by the same people. The fairway is also a nice and fairly clean hotel (I stayed in a single room there before) and it was the best I stayed compared to others that I went to, but it seemed a bit older and perhaps not as clean and spotless like the Central Hotel. so book at the Central. We got a triple room. The room was spot clean, except the Water heating jar was really rusty and corroded. Other than that, it was great, If you're a couple carrying much luggage it's better to book a triple room,is not too expensive and it's roomy enough to stay comfy. Staff Attention was great, I read that the people were not too nice, but in our stay they were really helpful.The english Breakfast is good enough to start the day. Bottom line: This is London, expect everything to be small and roomy enough to fit :) I spent some days in 2 or 3 other self named "hotels" in the area and they were a mess: dirty, too small, and damn expensive. Central hotel is the way to go if you want to stay comfy near King's Cross/St Pacras. Thank's a lot to the staff and keep it up.

Not a very nice stay

My husband and I stayed in london for 3 days (2 nights) for holiday.We chose the hotel on the basis of peoples'comments and category (3***).I do not think it can be compared to the same category in Italy,but on the whole it was nice,very close to the metro station and quite confortable(but pls note that we booked for a triple room as it was the ONLY was indicated with private bathroom).So the price we paid might be quite high.

8.8

I stayed at Central Hotel with my girlfriend for 3 nights in september 2008 and really enjoyed the place. The room was a bit smallish, but clean and nice. Nothing too noteworthy really, but for an okay price. Personnel wasn't remarkably friendly or helpful, but did an ok job. They answered my questions and were flexible with leaving luggage in the lobby when we arrived early and left late. Breakfast was quite good. Complete, fresh and quite a plateful. But the most excellent quality of this venue would definitely be the top location. Tube station King's Cross is conveniently located just around the corner and makes all of Central London very easy to reach. The British Museum is also a short stroll away. I would definitely recommend the place to friends and family, mostly because of the location that makes getting to all the sites so very easy.

8.3

HSBC on corner near Central Motel. Great location.. excellent access to the Metro.

8.4

I was in London ten days on holydais. It was the first time I've been there. I get a very good impression and i'll go again, sure!

8.2

A great hotel. The guy at the front desk was very friendly and incredibly helpful.

4.7

Niente di che. Benchè avessi prenotato al central mi hanno spostato nell'albergo sul lato opposto della strada. La pulizia delle stanze lascia a desiderare. La stanza per la colazione è microscopica e bisogna attendere il proprio turno. Vicinissima alla metro. Unico punto di forza.

7.5

The room I booked was exactly what I got. I had read all the reviews and they were quite helpful. I was sent to the Fairway hotel across the street which belongs to the same owners and the room I got (no.12, 2nd floor) was small but exacly what I needed. The WC was tiny but clean. They cleaned my room every day and gave me fresh towels too. Breakfast was OK. The English breakfast consisted in an egg some beans a sausage and bacon. There was also ham and cheese plus cereals and 2 slices of toast. They gave us orange juice, milk, coffee and tea. The ladies in the breakfast room didn't speak very good English. Everything was small but adequate. The location is fantastic, just across the street from the subway and railway Kings Cross. Nearby we could find many fast food restaurants and a very small grocery shop. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay there again. And I will use Venere once again to book since I had no problems whatsoever and the reviews were extremely helpful ... even the negative ones.

5.8

L'hotel è certamente in ottima posizione, non esattamente in pieno centro (leggi Piccadilly) ma a reali 10 passi da uno dei principali snodi della metropolitana, anche le opzioni autibus non mancano. Pur essento difronte alla Stazione la zona mi è parsa molto tranquilla e se si esclude l'occasionale vibrazione al passaggio della metropolitana anche silanziosa. Le camere sono molto piccole giusto lo spazio per girare intorno al letto, i bagni praticamente degli armadi a muro con porte scorrevoli chenon scorrono poi così bene. La grossa delusione è stata la coalzione, servita nel seminterrato in una stanza con soli 4 tavoli e solo per 2 ore, il che significa che chi tardi arriva male alloggia e deve attendere che si liberi qlk posto facendo la fila nello strettissimo corridoio pervaso dei fumi della cucina.Anche al qualità del cibo è relativa: tutto mangiabile ma sia bacon che baked beans poco appetitosi, servono solo 2 fette d pane tostato a testa, niente pomodori e funghi (che dovrebbero fare parte dell English Breakfast tradizionale). La colazione 'fredda'ancora meno appetitosa, un vassoio di pallidi pomodori tagliati a spicchi, uno di formaggio tipo sottiletta, uno di prosciutto cotto gelatinoso. Non venite qui attirati dalla propsettiva di una buona colazione, scegliete il central per la posizione, le condizioni accettabili delle stanzee il prezzo 'ragionevole'.

6.4

The room was pretty small but it was enough for us because we were there only to sleep, the rest of the time we were outside. Except from the size of the room, it was nice : clean & recent. Same remark concerning the breakfast room, too small so we had to wait a few minutes but once at table, the food was good, and not too small at all!!!

4.5

room was small, the bathroom is just a little bigger than the bathroom in the airplane. The room was newly painted and they let us use it immediately which we had a hard time sleeping because the paint smell was so strong. There were even some used lights that was left in the bathroom maybe by the electrician. good point theres free wifi. breakfast didn't even try it. but my companion said it was very little. pillow was nonexistent.

5.8

- Room n°31 stinked. - Breakfast room is so small. We had to wait untill a table was free (happened 1 out of 2 days). - Location in Argyle Street is both very quiet and very close to King's Cross Station (main rail + underground station). British Museum is within walking distance. I'll definitively choose this area again next time.

7.2

We did not sleep at Central hotel, the guy from reception send us (after an hour of waiting for room) to building across the street... I do't know, maybe it's normal in UK. The room was clean and quiet, but very very very small - but what could you expect for 75 pounds a night.

4.8

I think this hotel should improve the following things: 1) room was not so clean and we found a water boiler very dirty inside; 2) breakfast place was very little (just three tables) and breakfast time was too early (7-9 a.m.); also it was very stinky and smoky, since each breakfast flavours was inside the room; 3) it's not admittable that 5% was charged on my bill caouse I payed by credit card..we are in 2007 boys!

Great place to stay for the price. They offered a good english breakfast and the staff were friendly and helpful.

8.5

I recommend the Central Hotel to single travellers on a budget. For the price I was paying, I expected the room to be very small and it certainly was, but it had everything I needed, including a hand basin and TV, the bed was comfortable, the room was very clean and quiet at night and you could open the windows for fresh air, which I liked. The bathroom downstairs was very clean and I never had to wait to use it. The English breakfast was excellent, served very quickly and there was plenty of good quality food. Staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. I had heard that Kings Cross isn't the nicest of areas, but the street that the hotel is in is fine and I felt comfortable walking from the Tube late in the evening. It did not seem like a bad area to me. It's only about a minute's walk from the Tube entrance, so it's very convenient. I will definitely stay there again.

3.7

In the Central Hotel it was almost impossible to have a hot shower. In seven mornings we only had hot water twice and if you were the first to have it, of course. Cold water is healthier than hot one, but I would prefer having a cold shower in July or August. Thank you

7.5

Quiet and small B&B in the heart of King's Cross (not 10-years ago King's Cross!!!). Little more than 50 metres to King's Cross/St. Pancras underground station, a Burger King in front of the hotel and a Mc Donald just behind the corner. The location is perfect for all transports throughout London. Rooms are really small (too small, maybe only the one where i stayed) and cozy, the moquette was so dirty (what a pity!) but the room is cleaned up every morning. The shower was great (so big!) and the towels are changed daily. I really enjoyed the breakfast (said by an Italian!), the coffee was amazing. The taxi to the Victoria Station (if you have to take the Gatwick Express) costs £13, plus £2 for each luggage (i took the taxi about at 5.00 am). Well, i'll definely book here again if i have the chance to get again to London!

6.7

We were on the top floor, facing the back of the building so there was not much noise. The main bedroom was ok, was getting a little tired and could do with a re-decorate but it's a budget price so I didn't expect the Ritz. However the 'Bathroom' was very (very) small, the shower cubicle needed some repair work on it, there was tape covering the grout lines, and it looked like it had been there a while. Even for a budget property this wasn't very good, and would not have cost much to recify.

6.0

this was my first time in london, and i'll surely repeat this experience, maybe, why not?at the Central again..!!london is an amazing city and the B&B where I've staid has an excellent position, just few minutes far from king's cross station and the main facilities needed by tourists..

3.8

Dirty Rooms, adequate accommodations otherwise.

6.6

L'ALBERGO HA RISPOSTO ALLE ASPETTATIVE (LE DESCRIZIONI LETTE ERANO CORRETTE). LA BIANCHERIA NON ERA MOLTO PULITA, MA DOVENDO FERMARCI SOLO PER IL WE NON ABBIANO CHIESTO UN CAMBIO (CHE SICURAMENTE CI AVREBBERO DATO, CONSIDERATA LA DISPONIBILITà DEGLI ALBERGATORI).l'albergo è di fronte alla fermata della metro, che però è collegata male con le altre linee e bisogna fare sempre un cambio. Il soggiorno è stato nel complesso buono e probabilmente ritorneremmo nella stessa struttura.

6.2

It was clean and the rooms were small but very nice. We had a beautiful journey.

6.5

Allover it´s okay. We had a room in the souterrain and we heard the Tube. It´s an advance to have the tube that close, it can be a disadvance! We´ve been quite exhausted from running thru this big, big City, so we didn´t mind the noise of the tube. All in all we would take a room again at the Central Hotel. The Breakfast was okay and at least the room was clean and big enough for two travellers.

8.6

Muy buen situado al lado de la estación, muy buena recepción. Desayuno tipico inglés, la camarera estuvo un poco borde, pero la comida buena. La habitación muy limpia y cuidada, se agradece mucho, nosotras eramos tres y teniamos baño en la habitación y para el tiempo que estas en la habitacion esta muy bien, lo único que estavamos en la planta baja y se escuchaba el metro, curioso. En resumen después de varios sitios que he estado en Londres si vuelvo, seguro que repito. relacion calidad precio perfecto. Por cierto hay un pub muy cerca, donde hacen conciertos en directo!!

7.8

l'hotel è di piccole dimensioni, pulito e tranquillo. Sittuato in ottima posizione rispetto alla fermata metrò di king Cross che è uno degli snodi principali di Londra sia per la metrò sia per i treni. Le camere sono piccole (tipiche inglesi) ma ,cosa molto importante, pulite e abbastanza confortevoli, decisamente le migliori tra quelle già provate della stessa cat.. Colazione inglese buona e comunque sempre sostituibile con pane, burro e marmellata con bevanda calda. direi che la qualità del servizio, posizione e prezzo, sono apprezzabili per lo standard di Londra. Lo consiglierei a tutti quelli che cercano un buon rapporto qualità prezzo e usano le camere solo per il riposo notturno , Londra è così bella che non bisogna assolutamente perdere tempo in hotel !

6.8

comodissimo dalla stazione della metro e dalla fermata dei bus. la camera (con bagno) non era un granchè ma per starci solo per dormire andava bene.

7.9

The location is perfect and very central - and with a friendly staff. The rooms are not very spacious (to put it mildly) but this was not expected either (based on price and information on website). All in all - if you look for a VERY reasonable priced accomondation in London and do not expect facilities other than what is nessecary to get a good nights sleep and a central location - then Central is the place!

8.9

Este hotel tiene una excelente relación precio-calidad, está muy bien ubicado a menos de 200 mts de una estación de metro. El desayuno incluido es muy bueno sin ser abundante. El tamaño de la habitación que tuvimos es grande y disponiamos de una cama adicional, además el cuerto daba hacia la calle pero no tuvimos ningún ruido que nos molestara durante la noche. Tuve que cancelar una noche debido a que mi vuelo a londres se canceló pero la administración del hotel no tuvo ningún inconveniente. Si tu presupuesto de hotel está dentro de lo que cobra éste, sin duda te lo recomiendo.

7.6

No tuvimos ningún problema con la reserva a través de Venere. El recepcionista nos atendió muy amablemente. Las habitaciones son minis y no se puede decir que estén muy limpias, pero el hotel ha sido remodelado hace poco. No tiene aire acondicionado y las habitaciones de la última planta en verano parecen una sauna. Calidad/precio, a pesar de que resulte exagerado pagar esas cantidades por estos sitios, creemos que es de lo mejorcito de Londres. El desayuno a (huevos, salchichas, beans...) viene incluido en el precio.

5.4

The hotel is in a good position, but the room was too small and I didn't appreciate the shower shared with other people. Otherwise, my cousine and me had a good time. If You want to spend not so much, go to Central.

7.8

Specifico che eravamo fuori tutto il giorno quindi posso solo dire che le camere e i bagni erano puliti e non c'era casino!La fermata della metro è veramente a due passi e il personale dell'albergo è molto disponibile!Rapporto Qualità prezzo più che ottimo!Noi avevamo il bagno in comune che comunque è rislutato sempre pulito sia il wc che la doccia. Ritorneremo sicuramente li!

9.8

The staff at the Central Bed & Breakfast are excellent! We greatly enjoyed our stay and will definately book here again. The location is perfect for all transport throughout London. The rooms are small but clean and really very adequate for the price. Everyone we met was helpful and friendly!

8.4

We travelled as a family 2 adults and 3 young teenaged children. We found the Central Hotel excellent value for money. Sure the rooms are small but they were clean and yes some of the decor is somewhat tired but functionally it all works. Great location with easy access to the Underground. We would stay there again.

7.8

A non più di 100 metri dalla metropolitana di Kings Cross, quindi molto comodo per gli spostamenti. Camere piccoline, con bagno privato, ma pulite e vivibili, con rifacimento stanza e cambio asciugamani ogni mattina. Cmq in camera si andava solo per dormire, quindi ci siamo trovati bene. Colazione abbondante, sia all'italiana che all'inglese. Se torniamo a Londra, ritorneremo di sicuro lì, soprattutto per la buona qualità con un prezzo decisamente basso per il servizio e la posizione.

7.9

Molto carino veramente. Camere pulite (un po' calde), servizi igienici puliti. La colazione inglese è strana ma buona, non troppo abbondante. Rapporto qualità prezzo buono (anche perchè mi hanno scontato una notte, non so per quale motivo ma ben accetto).

7.5

Small rooms but it's enough, because I was out all day. Small bathroom but clean. The breackfast enough. The Hotel was 1 minute from King's Cross station an that's a great advantatge.

7.6

Good accomodation, small but clean, though not one of the cheapest places. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Just 2 minutes to the tube. A place where I would go again.

9.8

everything was excellent and we had such a good time,thanks to the location of the hotel, which was very central and well connected to the Rail Station and Tube Station.

6.3

Non è certamenente il Grand Hotel... comunque nel complesso il giudizio è più che sufficiente. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è più che accettabile... difficile trovare ad un prezzo inferiore... Partiamo dalla prenotazione... abbiamo prenotato con un mese di anticipo una doppia con servizi in camera.. e questa ci è stata riservata.. il soggiorno è durato tre notti... al momento della prenotazione ci è stata immediatamente addebitata una notte.. il restante è stato saldato al momento di lasciare la camera.. L'accoglienza è stata un pò freddina.. ma per il tipo di soggiorno (viaggio turistico.. tutto il giorno a spasso per la città e rientro in albergo solo la notte) non era la cosa essenziale.. La pulizia della stanza era accettabile.. peccato per la moquette sul pavimento.. non il massimo dell'igiene!!! Colazione esclusivamente inglese (infondo siamo a Londra!!).. niente male per iniziare la giornata!!! La disposzione delle camere è un pò 'labirintica' e la '626' una chimera (ma infondo lo è anche in italia!!!).. ma nel complesso camere silenziose e accoglienti!! La posizione direi ottima.. a pochi passi (ca. 150 m) dalla stazione di King's Cross.. leggermente fuori dal caos centrale e ben servito dalle linee metropolitane (ne passano diverse per tutte le direzioni...) Sicuramente per un prossimo soggiorno a Londra riprenderemo in considerazione questa sistemazione..

7.1

The hotel is undergoing rennovations - when I arrived, they were finishing the lobby floor so felt I had walked onto a building site. That said, my room looked recently painted, with new carpet and the en-suite newly fitted. Room was very clean, small but fine. As this is Kings X, the room was noisy - ambulances arrive at the nearby hospital through the night but I couldn't hear trains. I had a choice between closing the window (good double glazing to block out noise)or fry, as the heating was full on and the room was like an oven. Breakfast was good - bacon, egg, beans, toast. This is London budget accommodation - for £35 per night it was very good value - I wouldn't have expected much more.

8.4

Very good value hotel for the money. Room was rather small but clean and conforteable. Excellent location for public transport!

5.7

The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and kind. The room was small and the bedding had holes in it.

8.6

The relationship price/quality was ok for London, the bathroom was clean, breakfast good, we got new towels every day. It was not very luxurous but if you want to visit London for some days without paying a lot I can recommend this hotel. The location is central, with Kingscross Underground Station just around the corner. The only inconvenient was the noise level, you can hear everybody passing by and we heard the Underground (our room was in the basement).

5.8

it was a little bit expensive, but and the room was cold but clean.

6.3

The Hotel is situated near Kings Cross Station (2 Minutes). The double Room I had in the 3th floor was clean with 2 WCs and 1 Shower in the corridor. The room itself was very small (2.3 x 3 meters). Altrough it was centraly located, there were no noise. My wife said, she would go there again, I don't know if I would, maybe. Edmund Schöpf

7.5

Noices from doors and bathroom.The B&B need a little more of maintenance.First and second floor better than third floor.Employees and breakfast:excellent.Payment with credit card + 5% not shown on Venere.com-

6.1

Note:when j made The riservation there was a icon showing the presence of air conditioning that j did not find.Now it has been taken away

7.9

The room was very comfortable.The breakfast,excellent.

6.1

In consideration of the quality of hotel or bed and breakfast in England We can say that the level is medium. They have been very friendly. Best regards

7.3

En suite rooms good & modern. Basic rooms are very basic. Renovations ongoing.

7.2

The Central Hotel was Ok! A little nice Hotel excelent for short Trips to London. Realy near to Kings Cross Station! I think next times I book the same hotel.
