We planned a trip to London came across the hotel on booking. Com pictures were good so we decided to book for 2 nights. On arrival we was please with everything room is spacious clean and comfortable large clean breakfast and good location we both have said we would book again
A decent budget stay, with no real issues. The bedroom and bathroom were plenty spacious, the bed was comfortable and clean and the shower was excellent. I would recommend bringing a hot water bottle or small fan heater, and making sure you checkout on time as they are strict on that here. Unfortunately I was woken up early in the morning by noise from a major construction project taking place nearby the hotel. Being near Kings Cross station is an excellent location for London.
Super hotel Super location 7 mins from St Pancreas & King's Cross railway stations. Super helpful friendly staff. Comfortable room and beds. Great continental breakfast. Able to leave luggage and collect it on departure. I'd recommend staying here. Looking for to staying here again in the future. Thank you Argo Hotel
Stayed one night. Was pretty comfortable, check in was comfortable and well explained at check in. Whole place is in carpet but seems well cleaned. Very small staircase. The room was a bit small. But it has everything you need. Seems perfect for a 1 or 2 night stay. The heating was nice, already on temperature when arriving and stayed warm the whole stay, soundless. Tv in the room was also with streaming. Enough place to hang your cloths + 2 tables. The bathroom has a rainshower and there are small bottles with shampoo. Eventhough there where black scratch marks on the walls and a big dent in de bathroom door, the room was nice and comfortable. I enjoued my stay here, thank you.
Straightforward clean spacious room with coffee and tea making facilities. Good shower room and toiletries. Comfortable bed and bedding. Ideal location for King's Cross St Pancras and plenty of eateries nearby. Good value.
As advertised. Great for a quick stop over near Kings Cross. Nice friendly service. Room - clean. Continental breakfast - good. Sash window meant a little bit of street noise came through but quiet street, so only when there were passers-by. Thanks!
Lovely clean budget hotel really friendly staff and a nice continental breakfast. rooms are small but functional would definitely stay again
Ideally located next to St Pancras/Kings Cross, this is a great hotel to stay in for one night before catching a train. It's quiet at night as it overlooks a square. The rooms are small but clean and have everything you need.
