We stayed for 2 nights in a dark, dingy and dirty basement room. We had 3 metal frame single beds a wardrobe and a TV and plenty of cobwebs and dust! No tea tray was provided until we asked for it. We were asked at breakfast if we wanted full English's which we did, a few minutes later my partner... More

Firstly, the location was great for the stations. The hotel was only average in every respect. When I arrived with a large suitcase, I was told that my room was on the top floor, several flights up. I was told that there is no lift, and I had to carry my suitcase up to the room. I am not very... More

The hotel is in great location. For sleep over is good enough, but be sure you have your earplugs with you. Small room - fortunately we have small luggage, bigger one will not fit in :) Service seemed disinterested.

It is a good basic hotel and very clean. Breakfast was ok too. One point I must point out if you are planning a booking there is that... More

I read a lot of reviews before staying at this hotel, and, to be honest a lot of them are spot on - the terrible ones and the good ones. It can't be called excellent because it isn't, but it is unfair to say it's terrible. You get exactly what you pay for. The location is, as mentioned a lot,... More

First arrived at Howard Winchester Hotel in the afternoon. Location was fantastic and easy to find, just a two minutes walk away from London King Cross and St Pancras Station (which makes it convenient for tourists like us who takes the train to Paris and Scotland via Eurostar and East Coast train and also the underground as it connects about...

Great location over the road from Kings Cross. We were a couple in a triple room, which was a good size. despite being so close to kings cross, very quiet. Staff were great, helpful. Rooms cleaned well. Cooked breakfast nice-gets very busy.

Stayed here overnight in a triple room for my wife daughter and myself.Lovely staff and breakfast was more than ample, good nights sleep and only 2 mins from Kings Cross and St Pancras and 5 mins from Euston. All in all very impressed for the price and will be stopping again.
