Macdonald Hotel Reviews

Booked a single room, very pleased to receive a double. Nice hotel.

Cheap, clean, great for short visits and extremely convenient to Kings Cross railway / tube. Basic, but I was using it for accommodation for a football match.

Very basic accomodation, ok for a night out on the town. Location very good.

Great location - 5 mins walk from K.Cross tube, pubs & restaurants galore in the surrounding area. Really friendly staff on reception & at breakfast - the room was small but perfectly formed with good free WIFI 24hrs, a comfy bed, whole place was clean & well decorated. The breakfast was gorgeous! everyone was having full english, OJ, toast, jam n marmalade, I asked for scrambled egg & bacon & it was quick, hot and very tasty indeed! Would definitely recommend - only let down slightly by the shower room - its on the next floor up from the single room I stayed in & could do with a refurb, its tiny with a dodgy shower head/very slippery floor but constant hot water & good pressure! - it was also really good they had a separate toilet!
As with most B&B's in this price range, the walls are paper thin so take your ear plugs - apart from that it was a brilliant place to stay - I would definitely go & stay again. For £38 with that breakfast makes it amazingly good value for money for Central London!

For a last minute overnight stay with no fuss but a clean bed, no traffic noise and a breakfast where it very charmingly and unusually said 'Just ask for a second helping', I found this ideal. Quite the best of the half dozen or so hotels within 200 yards of it where I have occasionally stayed in the past. Yes, the shower was not en suite, but it was clean and worked and it was possible easily to understand HOW to work it.

This Hotel could do with a lick of paint and some new bedclothes. Its been a long time since I slept under a blanket! We, unfortunately, were led to a basement room which was dark and dingy. As it is in a great location we only used the room to sleep so it was ok. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean which is the most important thing. Breakfast was not great as they do not cater for vegetarians which was a surprise these days, so I was just offered eggs and beans. I would consider staying again if it wasn't in the basement.

I booked this hotel mainly because it was quite last minute and I needed somewhere near Kings Cross Station for the following morning that wasn't going to cost me £100.
It was only myself travelling and because I had appointments in London all day & night I literally only slept in the room, which it was perfect for.
My room was in the basement and I had to share a bathroom and shower with the other room next door, but I barely saw or heard them so it wasn't a big deal.
I slept well and had a decent enough breakfast so there really is nothing to moan about, especially when you consider the price.
I actually left an item of mine in the room which the hotel kindly posted to my home address free of charge, and for that reason alone I am very grateful.
If I was going to London for the same duration on my own again then I would not have a problem staying here again.

For a short stay in London, relative to the price, very good value. Kings cross station a five minute walk and surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants.
The room was dated but clean and the service was superb - they couldn't do enough. Great breakfast included in the price too.

The room was clean and equipped with all the basics you'd expect. At £65 a night though, I didn't really feel like I was getting my money's worth. Having said that, the staff were very helpful, personable and accommodating. If the rooms were a little better appointed and luxurious,it would certainly be worth the price.

Single room for one night --- room very small but clean tidy and comfortable --- i checked in mid morning and did not return again until midnight--- had breakfast and checked out --- all i wanted was a bed for the night --- breakfast was excellent --- i will definatly stay again if i am on a short trip to london --- it is only about 100m from kings cross /st pancras station allowingt easy access to trains and underground
