European Hotel - London

8.6

i was on holiday with my sister. perfect location, the rooms were a bit small, but still comfortable to have take-away dinner in. the location was perfect, right near St. Pancras/Kings Cross allowing for easy access to just about any underground line to get anywhere in the city and airports and the national/international trains allow for a variety of travelers to use the hotel. The breakfast was a good start to every day. Overall my sister and I were very happy with our choice of hotel. Would definitely recommend it and the area to friends.

7.0

Hôtel situé à côté de la gare et du métro ce qui est très pratique. ATTENTION, plan non fiable, envoi dans une autre direction... Il faut sortir porte sud, côté métro et commerces. Quartier d'hôtels très calme, en face d'un parc. Personne présente 24h/24 pour vous ouvrir. Petit déjeuner "typique", on vous recommande le thé à la place du café! Bon séjour!!

9.2

For one night on a budget this was excellent for the price. Although initially dissapointed being in a small basement room (a bit musty, but not damp) with only a view from a small window looking out onto the backs of other rooms. The beds were comfortable and very clean. Shower and toilet also clean. The full English breakfast included in the price was very good and in a pleasant dining area. Staff were friendly. I would go here again for one or two nights but not for a week in a basement.

3.1

The hotelroom was expensive, tiny and uncomfortable, but i guess that works in a very popular travel destination like London. Sooner or later someone desperate, like me, would need a room badly and stumble into the trap. London is full of hotels like this in desperate need of renovation. Off with the wall to wall carpets, get in some light!

9.1

The hotel is located in a very good position. It's near one of the biggest tube station (King Cross), there you can find the most important lines you need to visit London. The hotel is situeted in a quiet street as well. The cleaning is good, the rooms is small but enough to sleep and take a shower (whole rooms in London are small). The stuff is friendly and helpful. Cretainly I'm comming back in this hotel if I wish to visit London again. I advise this hotel for all people who want visit London.

8.5

acceuil simple et sympathique, chambre propre et agréable (mis à part le système de ventilation dans la salle d'eau qui faisait un boucan du tonnerre!).Petit déjeuner complet (oeufs brouillés, oeufs au plat, bacon, saucisses, tomates cuites, toasts, confiture, thé ou café, jus) en libre servie, présenté comme dans certains selfs service avec les caissons en métal maintenus au chaud au dessus de bacs d'eau chaude). la salle était un peu petite par rapport au personnes logées, il fallait arriver au bon moment mais les personnes de service se débrouillent bien, et avec le sourire. dernier point positif: juste en face de la gare et facile à trouver, le rêve! je recommande...

7.9

Excellent location, close to King's Cross, good breakfast, helpful receptionists, poor kitchen service, room spacious and comfortable enough even for a longer stay (I stayed 14 nights), clean room

2.9

The breakfast room is far too small. It's not funny to stand together with some other people in a crowded tiny room and to wat for 15 minutes until a table is free. There are far to many guests for this little room. The plates are cleaned very fast and are wet when handed out to the guests.

6.4

I was expecting a small room but whoa! It was so small we could barely walk around the bed. And the bed moved around on the floor so easily which was annoying and made it even harder to get around the bed. We had a nice big window though but the park it looked out over was not all that pretty which was weird because all the parks in London were gorgeous. It was a convenient area being so close to the train stations. I stayed near Paddington station when I first got to London and I wish I had stayed in that area. It was much nicer than the area around St. Pancras. Overall, it was a decent place to stay.

8.0

l'hotel è a 80 metri dalla fermata metro di di King's Cross, in una zona servitissima e tranquilla,ben servita anche dai bus notturni; la colazione è di tipo inglese ed è buona ed abbondante (mi riferisco alla parte salata: uova, pancetta, salsiccie, pomodori, fagioli, frittata), c'è comunque anche del latte, caffe the, marmellata, burro, e corn flakes. Le stanze sono pulite, accoglienti, e nemmeno tanto piccole, ottimo per un punto d'appoggio a londrA; se poi si hanno perticolari esigenze si deve cambiare tipo di hotel e di budget!!!!!

6.7

Small rooms as expected; the breakfast-room is small, the quality was better than expected given the comments, but the staff of the breakfast-room did not contribute to that.The overall service was as to ber expected for this price

7.7

Excellent pour un petit séjour londonien en couple. Tout ce qu'on peut demander d'élémentaire a un hotel y est ... propre, calme, une grande douche ou on rentre a deux, ... ! Seul défaut, le lit qui roule un peu et donc se déplace ! C'est toujours mieux ça qu'il grince ..

7.2

L' hotel è centralissimo, a 2 min a piedi dalla metro, è nuovo, le camere sono abbastanza pulite (tranne uno o due peli/capelli tra le lenzuola) ma minuscole! Due persone adulte in piedi non ci stanno, e non è un' esagerazione! In compenso hanno il bagno (superminuscolo ma funzionale) in camera e offrono l' English breakfast, ma a chi questo non piacesse non ci sono alternative...o eggs&bacon o fai la fame insomma!! Però per i prezzi di Londra è davvero un affare!PS Evitate la receptionist grassoccia e affatto accogliente!

2.8

I was very disappointed by the hotel:rooms too small, not decorated at all, dirty walls, tiny bathroom with nothing to put our staff or the towels on, very hot in the rooms; I was before in a hotel on the same square, same kind of price but much better

6.4

The room was very small and the breakfast very crowded. The staff was doing its best.

7.4

A cheap and cheerful place to sleep. Not somewhere to hang about in. Recently refurbished rooms clean and tidy. Rooms quite small. Breakfast plentiful, if not the best quality, would set you up for the day. Guests a mix of construction workers and tourist both UK and International.

3.9

We had a better stay at the fairway hotel (one street away) for the same price.

8.7

I booked a quiet single room and was positively surprised to get a really quiet double room. That was great! The room was still small but as it was for one person I could not complain. The only things I did not like was a horrible smell from the bathroom sink hat woke me up every morning. Closing the door made the air a bit better, but not 100%. Breakfast was very simple but OK: typical English breakfast with eggs, toast and cornflakes, but no choice (every day the same orange marmelade)and tomatoes from a can.

6.4

It's Ok if, like me, you're in a budget. Nice and tidy hotel. However it seems more like a students house, than a hotel, but as I stated before, it's ok.

5.9

Hotel was nice and clean and breakfast was fantastic, however there were limited seats avaliable in breakfast bar and had to queue.Also we werent welcomed particularly well and we then told we were in a hotel further down the road, this hould have been described to us on booking as the photos do not correspond to the hotel!!!!! The price was good but not when your shunted to a hotel 5 doors down!!!! Locaction for London Central is excellant and would stay again but would need correct details!!!

7.8

it's OK for a week-end or so.

3.3

Search another hotel, even you must pay something more. The room was minimal, the bathroom a shame, absolutely unbelievable. The heating running only sometimes, but anulled by the bed, put against the old radiator. We had not real furniture: only a tight cupboard, three drawers and no space to left the suitcases. We must ask for a second blanket, but both were like cigarette paper. The people in the reception was sinister, and the breakfast quite disgusting, we prefered to have some coffee and muffins in a starbucks! Search another hotel for your London holidays, is a friendly suggestion.

4.7

Hôtel : cher par rapport à la qualité fournie (c'est Londres...). Chambre : pour 4 personnes, pas beaucoup d'espace, ménage pas fait sérieusement (nous avons trouvé des papiers sous le lit des clients précédents). Personnel au petit déjeuner : exécrable, débordé, pas aimable du tout... Ces serveuses n'avaient pas envie de travailler. Le buffet est anglais donc, pour ceux qui rêvent de pain, croissant et autres brioches, oubliez, vous n'aurez droit qu'à 2 toasts grillés par personne. Sinon, la situation est bien : à 2 minutes de la station de métro Kings Cross, il y a aussi un Mac Do à côté. La prochaine fois, nous essaierons autre chose.

4.6

Hotel is OK for price except bathroom and TV. Bathroom needs a plumber. Not really clean. It´s very small, but that´s not the problem. But with a little bit of work you could improve that and repair that. They hadn´t got any SAT TV. And no remote available. They offer you a room in the dependance, which is usual, I would say. Overall Costs to repair all I would say 2 hours for the plumber, 30 Pound for new material for the bathroom and 30 Pound for a remote control. One person of the reception is not really competent, because I wanted a look at the room and the receptionist told me, why, I would have to pay anyway :-DDDDDDDDDDDDD Creative Consulting Austria

SCONSIGLIO VIVAMENTE!!perchè: il letto matrimoniale era invece ad 1 piazza e 1/2 con un lato attaccato al muro, scricchiolante ad ogni respiro,lì lì per rompersi, eppure sembrava nuovo. Copriletti sudici, di quelli cattura sporcizia.In 5 giorni non hanno mai cambiato le lenzuola pur avendole aihmè macchiate con del sangue, e rifacevano il letto ricoprendolo solamente. Non vi era un lampadario, neanche di quelli economici di ikea, ma solo una lampadina inpolverata che pendolava dal soffitto; c'era una abatjour rotta. Il bagno era ricavato da un angolo della camera da letto ed era davvero microscopico. La colazione era inglese, e per chi mangia così non era male, solo che l'organizzazione per fare la colazione era inesistente, perchè al banco c'erano solo uova salsiccie, pomodori, e il resto lo dovevi chiedere alle ragazze che non sono per niente accoglienti,non ti si filano proprio. L'albergo è vicino alla metrò di king's cross,questo è l'unico punto a favore! Non è la prima volta che vado a londra e allo stesso prezzo l'ultima volta sono andata in un posto che a confronto era di lusso. Non andateci, perchè allo stesso prezzo c'è di molto molto di meglio!!!

6.1

we are satisfied with Venere.com services. Of course, everything beeing so expensive in London, we were OK with the reservation we made through your service.The hotel room was small but very correct.

5.1

very very small room

6.6

This hotel offered the value that I was looking while I was travelling alone. Great location with Kings Cross Rail/Underground/Bus less than two blocks away. *** Summertime would be tough with no A/C or Fan.

3.9

For London relationship (quality vs. price, quietness) it's okay.

3.9

The breakfasts were very disappointing - almost inedible. The staff were very overtaxed and couldn't serve the number of customers. The room was not in great shape. Overall a disappointment.

6.7

For price 50 it`s probably ok, but... There is no room for larger luggage. Bathroom really small. Something broken, but not dirty. 5 TV channels without remote. From window beautiful brick wall ;). Recommend for travellers with small budget and students. Really near by Kings Cross. You can use tube, bus and even take a walk around. Quit calm and safe in evenings.

7.8

Hotel was just fine for our needs, room clean,staff helpful.Two minutes from king's X station also very convenient.

7.7

very good quality for the prize. Shure it is not first class, and the rooms are small, but facilities are clean, sevice is friendly and the location is great for discovering London.

8.0

Can recommanded this property. It is close to subway, train, bus (300m). There are shops and pubs around. It is possible to walk to centre - cca 30min. Our Room was really small as well as the bathroom but we expected it. It was clean. Breakfast was standard english - proper one. Surrounding seems to be safe and quiet - we had no problem with this. If you want to explore London, not to enjoy comfort of a hotel, this is good choice.Need a map to find the hotel.

7.8

Breakfast was not so good / no great variety of food -- not sufficient staff at breakfast during peak hours. Otherwise the stay was pleasant and all offerings/ services as described

5.0

Good B&B, nice breakfast (with bacon, sausages and fried eggs etc) Room is not clean enough, bathroom is very very small, without shampoo and shower gel. However, good price for short stay in London!

5.4

we stayed three nights there. we have to pay rooms in advance, room was like a small chamber in the basement, didnt saw the sky, first days we missed breakfast - thank goodness - athmosphere was ugly. ok - it was low-budget stay, location was very central near tube station knightbridge. If you are in the room only in the night without breakfast i would recommand this low-budget hotel otherwise please take an other one

2.4

European Hotel is door Nr.14. We were sent to door Nr.20, another place, just like that. No explanation. Breakfast room very dirty. No phisical connection between Hotel and breakfast room. 2nd nigth fire alarm played 3 times. First more than 30 minutes. During 3 nigths drunking people singing and palying over nigth. The hotel is really bad. I never imagine it was possible to find it in London. The best: coming back home.

7.7

Although the room is quite small, almost no spaces for luggage, it is just one block across the street from Kings Cross Station, easy access to the tube, bus and train. My room is on top floor (4th) and its a good exercise to take your luggage upstair thru the very narrow staircase. Breakfast is good and enough. If you travel on budget, its OK.

7.4

for short holidays a perfekt hotel

0.8

The room was cheap and close to King Cross. This hotel was not welcoming. It was a pay in advance type of establishment in a shady area of town. Most of the furniture was at least partially broken. The bathroom smelled of mildew. The window would not lock, which was worrying since the room was on the ground floor. I was glad to leave again in the morning. I will never go back.

7.6

First, the location of the European hotel is ideal if you arrive from Luton Airport via the Thameslink. It's barely 5 minutes walk from King's Cross station and most of transports. Then, the hotel is in a lovely and quiet square. The staff is very welcoming and helpful (we asked for a hairdryer - we got one a minute later). Rooms aren't very spacious but it's the same in most of big cities and it's really sufficent considering you only sleep in there. A very good point is that we had a private bathroom completely renovated and very clean, in the room. + Tea-coffee facilities in the room is great too. Second very good point: the traditionnal english breakfast in self-service (tea, coffee, baked beans, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, toasts, jam, butter, orange juice...) You can avoid eating the whole day with such a substantial (and excellent) breakfast. The only annoying things we found were: one noisy room-neighbour and some strange smell coming from the bathroom in the second morning. Finally, I would definitely recommand this B&B. A very good relationship between price/quality and no extra fee when paying by credit card. I would not hesitate, I would go back there for my next trip to london.

5.6

Situato a pochi passi da King's Cross, in una piazza tranquilla e verde, l'hotel è un buon compromesso qualità/prezzo. Consigliato solo per un breve weekend. Le stanze, seppur molto piccole, sono pulite e luminose (la finestra si affacciava sulla piazza) e sono fedeli alle foto del sito. Il breakfast, tipicamente inglese, è servito in una saletta un pò ombrosa e caotica ma per il prezzo della stanza è accettabile.

8.9

Considering the price of £40 I thought the hotel room was very good value. Very close to Kings Cross/St Pancras which was useful and an effort had obviously been made to keep the room in a clean condition. I didn't get time to shower or eat breakfast before I left to catch my early train so can't comment on them. Overall though, I would probably use this hotel again when looking for a reasonably cheap room in london.

8.7

tres propre, pres du métro, chambre pas tres spacieuse mais tres bien pour 1 à 2 nuit. tres bon rapport qualité/prix.

2.8

Bait and Switch This hotel has on their reservation page a disclaimer that they reserve the right to accomodate you in their "annex" which is really a fleabag motel just down the block, the "Elmwood" hotel. This is clearly bait and switch. I'm sure they are booking well past their availability and shuffling people down to the other hotel. There was not room to put a suitcase on the floor of this room, the walls were stained, you couldnt use the bath sink without standing in the doorway. I asked for another room and was refused. I will not be using this site again if this practice is an example of what is allowed by the hotels. I have complained to Venere and received no reply.

1.1

Horrible place to stay in: tiny and unclean room (hair in the bed, toilets and shower dirty), tiny bed (double bed is 1m20 large) and mattress too soft. At least we could have slept in that was all. But you can hear doors slamming and people talking in the room next door all night long (not sound proof), and the heating was so hot we had to open the window (winter time outside) when they suddenly decided to shut it down in the middle of the night... The worst night ever... we should not even pay for a place that sucks so much. The only good thing about the place is that it is 2 minutes walk from subway.

7.2

This hotel is quite close to King's Cross, the rooms are very small but clean, the bathroom is ok. The staff is helpful. The main advantage of this hotel is the price, quite reasonable (breakfast is included), and its location on the Circle Line. Drawbacks : the rooms are really small, and noise from other rooms and corridors cross easily through the walls. Not recommended for business or romantic holydays, but nice for travellers on a budget.

6.5

The hotel is quite and confortable, in a good position very closed to King's Cross station. The only problem was the bathroom, too small!

7.9

Recomended for a short trip

7.9

The 2 minutes to Kings X is accurate - you can see the station from the doorstep of the hotel. But it's in a quiet square overlooking a small park. Room was small, about 10 sq m, but very clean, new if basic furniture and a nice wood laminate floor. No lift, no air con, it's not that sort of place. Excellent value, particularly with breakfast thrown in, and an unbeatable location. Not a place for a romantic weekend break, but a good budget B&B especially when you are coming in late or leaving early from Kings X.

9.6

The sweetest rooms, small but excellent for our stay. Absolutley worth the price, big and wonderful breakfast, 100m from Kings cross, I will certainly book this hotel again!

6.1

Relacion precio calidad ,esta bien ,lo importante es que las habitaciones estaban limpias y el baño minusculo ,pero estaba limpio .El desayuno ,normal tirando a mal ,el zumo de naranja era como medicina . La situación buena . La habitación daba al parque y era muy agradable .Cuidado !! este hotel tiene la parte vieja que es un desastre ,habitaciones interiores y no con muy buena pinta ,indicad que quereis la parte nueva .

6.9

La struttura si trova in una zona centrale che consente di prendere i mezzi pubblici necessari per visitare londra. Ciò che mi è piaciuto di più è stata la cortesia dimostratami per il deposito bagagli anche dopo il mio check-out.

2.5

Une chambre minuscule Une salle de bain ridicule avec en guise de lavabo un "lave main". Les draps pas changés pour 3 nuits. Des couvertures pas nettes! Au petit dej, de la sauce périmée depuis 2 ans! Une seule serviette de bain pour 2! Vraiment pas terrible pour le prix!!

7.7

Hotel simple, de buen precio para Londres. Muy bien ubicado, al lado de un estacion de metro y de tren. Además existían multpoles servicios en los alrededores. El desayuno muy bueno; tostadas, huevo, cereal, jugo, porotos, salchichas, bacon, cafe y/o te. Ademas la habitacion poseia un hervidor con bolsas de té, café y azucar.

3.2

This was a really tired and run down looking place. I wasn't suprised that they wanted payment up front. The lobby is very run down looking, the hallway was tiny with old and soiled carpeting. The room I was given had a cottage bedroom feel to it - like something you might expect at someones cottage, but not at a hotel. The window didn't close, and there is no screen, so things came and went at will. The bed was a mattress thrown over some kind of homemade pine frame contraption, and made some interesting squeaks when I sat on it. My room faced an alley, and I could hear the kitchen below in the morning. It's very close to Kings Cross station, and isn't very hard to find. The street it's on seemed to have a few similar venues all along it (probably with similar appeal though). I wouldn't stay there again in all honesty. You usually get what you pay for, and next time I'll pay a bit more if required, and stay at a place that didn't feel like it would charge by the hour for the use of their rooms...if you know what I mean...

7.9

It's a nice small budget hotel. It's ok for the quality-price given. Our room was small but very clean. The staff was nice and correct. The situation is very near King's Cross underground station. I would really recomend it.

5.1

Este hotel está muy bien situado al lado de una parada de metro que es además una estación con muchos enlaces. la habitación más que pequeña es ridícula, apenas entra la cama grande y el armario, aunque lo más gracioso es el baño que incorpora la habitación: un armario crecido donde no es posible moverse con un plato de ducha y un urinario. Por lo demás el alojamiento es correcto, taniendo en cuenta el precio de la habitación, y los empleados son muy atentos.

5.9

L'albergo è economico per essere in Londra, si trova in centro di fronte alla stazione King's Cross quindi piuttosto comodo. La camerà però era molto piccola, difficile muoversi all'interno, impossibilità di aprire la finestra. Se cercate i comfort guardate altrove mentre se il vostro intento è quello di spendere poco allora ok.

8.3

Il rapporto prezzo-qualità è ottimo. Le stanze sono molto comode, la colazione abbondante ed è a due passi della metropolitana e del british museum. Ci sono andata con mia mamma ed è stato incantevole.

8.2

Very well locaded , near railway and tube stations (king cross) ... Huge breakfeast helps you to wait to the evenning dinner ... At 8h45 , it is the rush hour, so mind to arrive a 30 minutes befre the closing time ... The room is not so big, but to have a bath and to sleep , that's enough !! Very cheap, clean, nice breakfeast, well located = best relionship between price and quality ...

8.4

Although we made an online reservation for Hotel European, we were actually given a reservation for a close-by hotel run by the same management: Carlton Hotel. My comments are for the Carlton Hotel, which was a very comfortable place to stay; staff were quite helpful; breakfast was very good.

8.7

Hotel très agréable dans un quartier calme (petit square en face de l'hotel), très proche du métro. Chambre propre avec petite salle de bain dans la chambre. Bon confort lorsque l'on reste quelques jours à Londres. Bon petit déjeuner anglais.

6.7

Clean and very small. Not quiet. I was in a room on the ground floor re which was nice as there is no lift. A couple in the next room was so loud one night the management gave me another room on the 3rd floor to sleep in. If it were quiter I'd go back as the price is good.

5.3

OK for a short stay when the price is important.

8.0

Très bien placé, à 100m de la station de King's Cross dans une rue très calme. Chambre très petite, mais propre avec télé, douche, WC et lavabo. Petit déjeuné bon (thé ou café,corn flakes, jus d'orange, toasts, marmelade, beurre, oeufs frits, bacon, haricots à la tomate,....) et à volonté.

7.1

The staff had not checked for internet bookings. My reservation was not known to them. A suitable room was found anyway.

5.5

chambre en demi sous sol, cabinet de toilette digne d'une chambre de bonne à Paris, couloirs et portes très exigüs

8.9

un alberghetto veramente ottimo..assolutamente da ricordare per tornarci... poi è vicinissimo(2 min a piedi)da king's cross station,da dove passano 5 linee della metro più la linea della ferrovia...e in più capolinea di pulman. insomma,piccolo hotel per grandi vantaggi!!!

6.5

Hotel, en londres. Muy bien localizado con estacion de metro a 2 min andando. El desayuno tipico ingles, no estaba mal. Estaba limpio y es una zona tranquila.La habitacion era minima, eso si.Pero como he empezado es un hotel de londres.

9.4

In realtà ho prenotato per una famiglia di miei amici. Il loro giudizio complessivo è molto buono. Non sono però stati all'European Hotel ma in un altro hotel a King's Cross, Carlington e, nonostante il costo fosse leggermente superiore, hanno comunque pagato la cifra indicata sul modulo della prenotazione. Forse un pò rumoroso ma pulitissimo. Ottima la colazione e l'accoglienza. I proprietari sono italiani. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Ottima la posizione, in un punto centralissimo e perfettamente collegato. Francesca Carbone

6.8

Since we were in London for only two days of sightseeing, we did not spend much time in the room, but moving inside it was a little problem since it was awfully small.So was the bathroom : impossible to leave even a toothbrush inside (no space even on the sink) and the double bed was smaller than most european standards). Otherwise, everything was spotless, and the english breakfeast served downstairs was super. A good place for low budgets anyway.
