Good location & typical London hotel

We had a family break over a weekend. The hotel was very expensive for what it was, but that’s London i guess. The location is perfect for Kings X station. Literally a few minutes away. Reception were brilliant at check in. Professional, easy and quick. The room was fine. Nothing special, but comfortable. The heating had been left on and it was ridiculously hot, but easy enough to fix. Basic, clean with a TV and a comfy bed. Shower was good as well. We don’t pay the extra for breakfast as prefer to eat out for that sort of price and went to half cup, a few minutes walk away and was very good. I probably wouldn’t stay again at that price, but apart from that - very adequate.

The location was very convenient and the staff were friendly, but there were a few concerns during our stay. First, the heater in the room didn't work at all, so it was cold at night in London in March, when it was a bit chilly. According to the hotel, all the rooms are configured differently, so we were given a room that was completely different from the one we saw when booking on the website. (I needed a WritingDesk to use my laptop for work, but there was none in our room.)

The hotel was close to the station which is why we chose this one. It was clean and accommodating. We were just surprised that there were no elevator and we had to carry our luggage to the second floor on a narrow and winding staircase (although it seems like narrow winding staircases are common in Europe.

Great location, slightly above average hotel

We stayed 2 nights in the California Hotel as a family of 3. The location was amazing and so convenient for our trip. However the hotel is opposite a current building site so it was quite noisy first thing in the morning. It didn't really matter to us as we have a toddler who is up early anyway but worth bearing in mind. The room was a great size for what we needed but the bathroom was very small and narrow with no toilet roll holder. The room was very hot and the beds werent as comfortable as previous hotel rooms we've stayed in. It also wasnt as clean as it probably could have been, although the turn down service was great. I would say it was a little on the pricey side for what you get but overall it was a good stay.

Good short stay with family

Cozy first floor room. Unique to have a mudroom in a hotel room. Was good for a few nights. Needs better ventilation fans as room can get humid after a shower and paint is starting to bubble. The floor fans helped but some are older and need replacement. Can open windows so that is good. Didn't have the breakfast. Staff is fantastic! Across street freom Kings Cross and many places to eat late at night
