Let's be clear, The Princess Hotel is not a luxury property. Nevertheless, this little gem in an unbeatable location near St Pancreas/Kings Cross station offers clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff and a hearty breakfast for a very modest price.

We chose this hotel as it was virtually on the doorstep of Kings Cross Station so was ideal for our few days sightseeing in London. My daughter had also stayed here previously so recommended it. On arrival we were warmly greeted and given our room keys with a brief but efficient run down on basic things we needed to know.... More

We needed a place near the Eurostar Station for a quick visit to London. The Princess Hotel fit the bill. It was a short 2 block walk from the St. Pancras station and the Underground. The room was adequate but a bit tight. I shared the bathroom with my traveling companion. I does not have an elevator but my room... More

We are staying in the Princess hotel 24, 25, 26, 27, april, in a shared bathroom room, as we are on a budget, and only need it as a base. I have e-mailed the hotel a few times with questions, and so far they have been more than helpful and very prompt. Many Thanks Steve Cole
