Cheap Hotels in King's Cross

I will definitely stay here again. The best thing about Cartwright Gardens was it's proximity to the tube, busses, and trains (St. Pancras/King's Cross Station is a 10 minute walk), as well as the British Museum, British Library, Trafalgar Square, etc. The accommodations themselves are delightful. Small, of course, but containing everything needed for a comfortable and affordable stay. The kitchens have basic necessities-dishes, cutlery, pots, pans, dish soap and cloths. Lots of storage space for unpacking. A fan, safe and blowdrier in the wardrobe. Ironing and laundry facilities in the basement. I stayed here in July and it could get hot without air-conditioning. The window opens onto the street, facing a small park with tennis courts. As there is a language school across the way, the park and courts could get noisy at night, with the young adult language students hanging out there and other youth having loud conversations. If sleeping with a small fan and closed window isn't your scene, I'd recommend an air conditioned unit. That said, the street and area are gorgeous. Big trees, quiet mornings, beautiful heritage buildings. Even wildlife! Keep an eye out for the green parakeet that lives in one of the trees near the tennis court. The staff are friendly and willing to help in any way they can. One lent me their French Press for the week, which was a godsend. Again: highly recommended.

Excellent location, room small but very well-appointed.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Room was clean although it was in the basement so there was a slight damp smell. As you walked down to the room. Room was very basic. Very little storage with one coat hanger on a rack which had the kettle beneath it, so not practicable for hanging any clothes. It was fine for us as it was a one night stop. Would have liked a hairdryer too. Slept well enough though.

A great place to stay when visiting London. Centrally located, very clean, great air conditioning. Luggage storage and friendly staff. Only complaint was lack of lounge area, rooms are small and there isn't anywhere that you are allowed to eat outside your room if you don't want to go out. Overall I highly recommend.

Staff were brilliant

Easy access to the underground and trains.
