Our only complaint is that we were not advised of the lack of an elevator beforehand. Upon arrival, staff assisted us with our baggage. However, upon departure, we had no assistance. This caused great difficulties for us as we were three floors up.

rooms were very small, beds were old and rickety, mattresses were too worn, bed springs were about to go. no lift in the hotel, which was fine as we knew about it beforehand, BUT the carpeted stairs were worn and the steps were wobbly so it made the ascent and descent very dangerous.

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....

Stayed one night at the California for convenience as had an early Eurostar to Paris. In my view it is overpriced but just needed a bed. Ideal for transport links but wouldn't pick to stay for a longer break. Couldn't fault the members of staff all very helpful. Construction ongoing outside the hotel but wasn't a problem and even though near Kings Cross relatively peaceful at night.

Rooms are small, hot and loud (construction going on just outside our window) and beds are not very comfortable. But it was inexpensive so we got what we were looking for.
