8/10 Very good

Great and welcoming staff. Check-in was very quick considering I only booked 30mins in advance. It's very conveniently located 2mins walk from Kings Cross station. The room is very small, but for a 1 night stay, it's more than enough.

I would stay here again. It's incredibly convenient to get to the station and from there anywhere. The hotel isn't a Ritz which is why it's so much cheaper but if you're looking for a place to sleep that's reasonably clean and well kept them this is it. The staff was very helpful when asked questions. They allow bag drop before your check in time which was super helpful.

I love staying here, the staff are lovely and the hotel is beautifully clean. The downside is there is no lift but there are ground floor options if requested. Very central to all areas of London and transport options. They have their own restaurant nearby but there are also many other options to eat within yards of the hotel

Hotel itself was a little tired around the edges but clean and otherwise fairly comfortable. What made my stay though were the staff who are incredibly helpful and friendly. Makes such a difference. A particular shout-out for Emma, on reception, who is very welcoming and always a pleasure to speak to.

Basic room but perfect for a one night stay. Brilliant location over the road from kings cross and at pancras and being able to drop your bags off meant we weren't lugging them round all day

6/10 Good

The California is a nice enough place, and the staff is wonderful and really friendly, however, about halfway into my stay, I noticed ants had invaded my room. The front desk got me changed to another room quickly, but didn’t seem to want to until I insisted. I also felt that some kind of credit or incentive or partial refund would have been kind… considering I had to quickly pack up and move to another room due to bugs in the first. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to others, and would not stay here again.

Our room was in sort of a narrow basement part of the building, but its layout was clever, felt cosy and clean, and not too small! Bathroom was kind of cold, but the shower was nice. Very good location for the price!
