Billig og praktisk
Ikke den beste standarden eller renhold, men fungerte fint til vårt formål. Billig og praktisk beliggenhet.

Decent for the price...
Nice room but tired and there was dried blood on the bathroom floor but for the price can't really be too picky

6/10 Good

Great location very close to Kings Cross station. Check in was via the hospital next door and was easy enough. Overall hotel is tired and grubby - there were piles of dirty linen on each floor by the stairs when we arrived at 9pm.

Nightmare
It was a nightmare, there are bedbugs in the bedroom, kitchen doesn’t work, WiFi was impossible to connect, there was a leak in the bathroom, the staff solved using a can beneath, the third floor without elevator if you Bring luggage is an important issue. the hotel is very old the floor is really noisy and is lifting up

très bien localisé
Bien localisé, près de king's cross et saint Pancras. Metro, bus pour l'aéroport et pour Harry Potter studio juste à côté. Parfait pour visiter Londres. La chambre pour 4 avec deux grands lits était confortable mais la salle de bain vraiment minuscule et pas bien propre au niveau de la douche et rideau de douche. Notre chambre était juste à côté de la porte d'entrée alors beaucoup de bruit quand les gens claquent la porte pour la fermer. J'ai bien apprécié mon séjour quand même.

Einfach, aber alles, was es braucht
Kleines Zimmer, gutes Bett, sehr ruhig trotz der Nähe zu den grossen Bahnhöfen, gutes Wifi. Kein grosser Komfort, aber alles, was es für eine Übernachtung braucht. Sehr gute Lage für Reisen von/nach den Bahnhöfen Kings Cross, St. Pancras oder Euston. Schade, dass kein Frühstück angeboten wird.

Tiny, very tiny
I stayed there for one night because I had an early-morning train from King's Cross. This place has the smallest rooms I've seen. They've squeezed in every millimetre of accommodation space: the shower is over the toilet, the bed occupies so much of the room there's barely space for a backpack (certainly not for a suitcase), the halls are narrower than a normal person's shoulders. The reception desk is three buildings away. It's clean and the receptionist is professional, but the building is ridiculously cramped.

The room was what was expected for the star rating and price. Basic but most importantly clean and comfortable. My friends and I would stay there again.

Pros: Close to Kings cross; plenty of restaurants nearby Cons: Got a bar nearby, noisy at midnight, specially weekend; some facilities are old, even broken; narrow stairs, not convenient for luggages; wifi is out of service sometimes; small apartment, not comfortable with 4 persons

Clean and comfy.
Basic room but clean and comfortable. Served the purpose for a family of 5. Good location near kings cross station for ease of travel home.
Tracey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pretty good
We actually dealt with the Hotel Melville. There are many small hotels all in a row next to each other, all near the King's Cross train station, and some of them seem related to each other, perhaps under the same administration or ownership. As we were four persons with a lot of baggage, we were actually assigned a place around the corner called Flat No. 1. The staff were very considerate in putting us there, because we needed the room. The flat was in the basement but had its own entrance by a stairway down from the street and was huge. We had two bedrooms with two double beds. The bedding was fresh and clean and the beds comfortable. The flat appeared to be freshly cleaned as well as possible. There was also a kitchen with a long computer workstation with lots of plug-ins, and there were lots of various kinds of outlets in the bedrooms. The only complaints were that there seemed to be a small amount of mold around the light fixture in the bathroom, which was otherwise well cleaned, and the kitchen faucet dripped. On the whole, however, it was a nice place for tired travelers.

Excelsior - Business Trip
I was a little bit nervous of the location - dodgy looking park over the road. KX & St Pan just 200 yds away - loads of eateries & new bars. Overall a pleasant enough experience at a reasonable price.
James, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property is located within walking distance from the St Pancreas International. Which was very nice and convenient. However, the hotel had no air conditioning and we were located on top floor which was 6 flights on narrow steps especially when packing luggage. No breakfast was included and WiFi strength was very poor. The bathroom was only big enough for one to turn around in. The bathroom ceiling appeared to have been duct taped in a spot above toilet? When we went to check out and we turned in key (yes they still had a key) the gentleman just looked at us. Not to mention the TV would not program in the room. The hotel was definitely overpriced for the room you would have expected

Ett helt okej hotell, nära Kings Cross och St Pancras. Hotellet är utan reception så därför sker in- och utcheckning på ett annat hotell 20 meter bort. Trevlig hjälpsam personal.
