The room is basic, clean, bed was comfortable enough for a 2 night stay. My room was at the rear of the property so very quiet. No aircon but a fan was provided and that was adequate. Plenty of pubs around and walking distance to Kings Cross station. Overall good stay and good location.

Arriva hotel is located in a convenience area close to King’s cross train station and St Pancras station; the street is quiet and safe neighborhood, there are many places to eat and buy food close by. The hotel’s room was bright, clean and comfortable, staff were friendly. I definitely stay in again.

This property is a short walk from King’s Cross station . It has a 24 hr reception with comfy sofas. The rooms are clean but small and I found the mattress very hard. There is a lift so it is an accessible property. They offer luggage storage . Overall it is an acceptable hotel for a 1-2 night stay in London.

Nothing bad happened but nothing great either. The gentleman at the desk was indifferent. Not rude per se but certainly not warm or accommodating. The room was veey clean. We felt safe in the area and it was walkable to some fun pubs. Kings Cross is a ten minute walk, Farringdon 20min. The mattresses were hard the pillows thin. the room was hot opening a window brought in the noise of the street but somehow no cool air. Appreciated the in room tea/coffee very much. Heard no noise from other guests.

Nice stay!

The check in at the Arriva hotel was seamless! The room was basic but had everything we needed, including a hair dryer, towels and a kettle with tea/coffee and cups! There was also a fan in the bedroom and we were facing the back of the building, so it was pretty quiet! There was a working TV with Free View channels!

Stayed 1 night stop by King Cross. Room is small but one night stay which is alright and no complaint, Price is worth for the quality. Convenient location. Friendly staff at Reception. Benefit to keep luggage upon check out.
