Ratings and reviews
2.5 / 5.0
I had a great stay - the hotel is very well located for Kings X, Camden, Covt Garden etc and great rail/tube connections. I really enjoyed the stay - the staff were super helpful but bear in mind that you get what you pay for, i.e. you are not staying at the Savoy ;-) I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Very dirty! Hallway carpet not seen a hover for a long time, same as room. Cobwebs everywhere! No sink plug. Could not fill kettle, no space in dirty sink to fill. Dirty unusable shower and very stained towels. Waited ages for entry to Hotel. Apparently, attendant was in toilet! Very expensive £90 for one night. Only convenience being near to St Pancras Station for very early morning Eurostar train to Brussels Midi, then to Brugge Station. Got to be better hotels, would not recommend this place to anybody.

Chap on reception was great, very friendly and accommodating. Appreciate it wasn't expensive but the comfort level was very poor. Did not have a good night's sleep and the room was tiny

Suit our needs as only needed a bed to come back to at night. The 2nd member of staff that worked the front desk after check in was rude with limited costumer skills and not helpful

Good hotel for myself who’s a solo traveler. I felt safe. The room was cleaned to a good standard, towels, shampoo and soap provided, also coffee making facilities in the room. The reception is 24hrs, the front desk people were so very nice and polite. The hotel is very close to Kings Cross. Overall I’m very happy and happily impressed with my stay in the Elmwood hotel. I will choose this hotel again for future stays. Thank you.

You get what you pay. Room was decently clean (no evident dirty places). Extremely crammed with no space around beds greater than a 2/3 foot / 20cm.

The hotel has misleading pictures of the room. We were 3 people and it was size of a prison cell, supert tiny! It is uncomfortable even for one person, imagine three of us stayed in the room. Bathroom is very small. No lifts, we carried all the luggage up 3 victorian stairs. The hotel has no information whatsoever about this. The only saving grace was at least it wasn't dirty, else we would have just left. It was last couple of nights so we didn't bother looking for another hotel and also the booking was non refundable. Hotel.com should remove this hotel from the listing. I am surprised that this listing was allowed despite the fact that it purposefully hid the most basic info and pictures of the hotel and rooms.
The only advantage is that it is literally couple of minutes from King's Cross station. But so are many more much better hotels!
The most uncomfortable and tiniest room I ever stayed in!
Just don't bother.

I am giving this property a 1-star review because Expedia listed "luggage storage" as an amenity, without mention of any additional charge, but the hotel insisted on a surcharge, and would not back down when I noted the Expedia description. Sometimes Expedia gets thing wrong, and the hotel can ask for a correction, but they should honor the services as listed when the reservation is made.

This hotel is the worst that I have ever stayed in. The sheets were ripped, the blankets were filthy, the stink was horrible, and to top it all off my daughter found a used condom right before we tried to go to bed. We slept in layers of clothing because we didn't want to touch the bedding. We packed up the next day and booked another hotel. Only benefit was it was close to Kings Cross. The hotel was horrible.
2.0 / 5.0
Usual movement of people heard around the hotel but, about 5am, a noise sounding like a loud generator started and carried on for about an hour before stopping. Left hotel very tired instead of refreshed. Informed reception in morning, but said he hadn’t heard the noise and didn’t know what it could have been, suggesting maybe it came from the next building.

1.5 / 5.0
It was easy to drop off our bags before the check-in time. The staff was nice and we found everything to be clean and enjoyed the tv and the kettle. The only downside was the guests upstairs partied all night and kept us up. I was surprised no other guest complained or that the staff didn’t say something.

Pretty basic but bed was comfortable and it was clean.
3.0 / 5.0
Simple hotel, someplace decent to sleep and then spend the rest of your day running the streets exploring. The biggest draw is the location, as it's a short walk from major train hub, King's Cross. In-room safe has a daily fee, and if you want them to hold your luggage after checking out, there's a fee for that as well (never experienced that in all my years of travel). Walls are thin, you can hear your next door neighbor talking, and the people walking around in the room above you. If you keep your expectations in check, and focus on convenience, it's a decent place to stay.
