A decent room for a decent price
I was looking for a decent but not too expensive room for my short stay and this hotel - very close to King Cross - was perfect for it. Don't expect a 5 star room but if you want to be in center of London and have a ggod night sleep it is perfect for it.

I'm surprised this qualifies as two stars
Check in was easy. There is no lift, so if you are less able bodied or have heavy luggage, be prepared to carry it up as many as three flights of stairs. Check in concierge was a bit aloof, but overnight concierge was pleasant. For the room, one of the worst beds I've slept in. Sheets clean but dust behind bed head (I was looking for plugs). Two towels provided but no foot towel for the floor, so the bathroom becomes very slippery if you take a shower. Shower head holder on the wall was screwed in too close to the ceiling, so you can't engage the shower head in it to take a shower. Kettle lid was broken, so the kettle wouldn't turn off when boiled. Only one cup was provided despite booking a double room for two.

Absolutely disgusting!
Very dirty! Hallway carpet not seen a hover for a long time, same as room. Cobwebs everywhere! No sink plug. Could not fill kettle, no space in dirty sink to fill. Dirty unusable shower and very stained towels. Waited ages for entry to Hotel. Apparently, attendant was in toilet! Very expensive £90 for one night. Only convenience being near to St Pancras Station for very early morning Eurostar train to Brussels Midi, then to Brugge Station. Got to be better hotels, would not recommend this place to anybody.

Chap on reception was great, very friendly and accommodating. Appreciate it wasn't expensive but the comfort level was very poor. Did not have a good night's sleep and the room was tiny

Suit our needs as only needed a bed to come back to at night. The 2nd member of staff that worked the front desk after check in was rude with limited costumer skills and not helpful

Room felt unclean and old. No lights on stairs to room. Linen felt very used. Shower didn’t drain and shower head didn’t fit properly in holder. Double bed was only a big single and not suitable for couple. Would not recommend.

Excellent!!
Good hotel for myself who’s a solo traveler. I felt safe. The room was cleaned to a good standard, towels, shampoo and soap provided, also coffee making facilities in the room. The reception is 24hrs, the front desk people were so very nice and polite. The hotel is very close to Kings Cross. Overall I’m very happy and happily impressed with my stay in the Elmwood hotel. I will choose this hotel again for future stays. Thank you.
