Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Great location, affordable character
With warm greetings from staff upon arrival, The California, hosting some 60 rooms, is old-world boutique hotel, a comfy couch with a few bare threads in a location that’s hard to beat and a cozy patio for a coffee and croissant. The connected townhouses hide a warren of hallways and stairs where every room is different and reflects the cubicle style that seems to be rage.

Liked: Staff & service
Rooms are very small. Location is excellent to Kings across. Staff especially the evening staff when we checked in were lovely.
Would stay for convenience only.
Location is prime as it is a stone throw away from King's Cross and access the the international trains into Europe, always a good back up when you have an early train in the morning
The property was ideally located, near the King's Cross Tube Station and St.Pancras International, making it easy to get anywhere in the city, and get out of the city quickly with no fuss. The accomodtion was simple and just what was needed....
