Good value budget hotel in a great location. I’ve stayed in a few similar hotels in the same area and Elmwood is the best to date. Reception staff were polite and friendly. Check in was straight forward and a minor problem was sorted quickly with no fuss. My single room was clean and had all the expected basic amenities. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was in good working order. I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable budget hotel in the Kings X area. If expectations are consistent with the price paid, then the hotel is perfect for a short stay as a base to explore London. I would definitely stay again at a similar price per night.

The hotel has a very good location, but that's the only good thing about it. Our experience at Elmwood Hotel was very disappointing. We requested a triple accommodation: one queen and one twin; instead, we received one double bed, and one twin in a room so small that we felt like staying in a closet. We slept terrible every night. My daughter even felt every spring on her mattress Our room was downstairs facing to a building next door, and for some reason the window across from our room had the lights on all night , making it impossible to rest. The hotel is old and it really needs a remodel. The furniture in the rooms are falling apart, and the safes in the rooms "don't work" (as we were informed by the guy in the reception). Overall, I wouldn't complaint if it was half the price, but for the price we paid, it was absolutely unacceptable. Only stay here if you need to stay one night for cheap as it's only 5 minutes walk away from King's Cross Station.

Cheap and cheerful. I had a single room which was small but had everything i needed, double bed, tea and coffee facilities and tv. I didnt have breakfast so cant judge that. There is no lift so beware if travelling with luggage as the stairs are narrow too, it gave me a little workout getting to the third floor. Property is a few minutes walk from kings cross / St Pancras. Would 100% return if i have to stay overnight again. Great value for money.

Unfortunately, the room condition wasn’t very good. The bathroom floor was constantly wet, and the shower didn’t drain properly, causing water to overflow. However, I did enjoy the breakfast, especially the croissants, which were excellent.

Really disappointing experience overall, especially considering we paid over $100 per night. Our room was located on the lowest level of the hotel—essentially the basement. While the rest of the property smelled heavily of air freshener, our section had a strong sewage-like odor. The source appeared to be black mold, which was visible throughout the bathroom: on the walls, in the tile grout, and even on the shower curtain. This felt like a genuine health concern. Additionally, the hotel requires guests to leave their room key at reception when going out. One evening, the staff member on duty disappeared for about 30 minutes, leaving me locked outside in the cold. I was only able to get in because my partner was in the room; otherwise, I would have been stuck waiting. We then had to continue waiting for the staff member to return just to retrieve our key. After checking out, both of us became ill. We can’t say definitively it was caused by the hotel, but considering the conditions, it’s hard not to wonder. Overall, given the price and the state of the room, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. P.S. Wifi was awful, if that factors into your decision.
