I have used this hotel many times now. It is very basic, but it is exactly what you need in central london and as for location, less than 400 metres from Kings Cross underground station

We booked this hotel for my boyfriends birthday and we were really chuffed with it. We arrived earlier than the 2pm curfew and were allowed entry into our room. The room was clean and the bed comfy. Very handy for the tube and to pop into London's City. Nice building and nice location. We never made breakfast so can't comment on the food. Will deffo come back :)

I forgot to add that the staff at the hotel, from the reception, the kitchen/dining room and the cleaner were all very friendly. The reception staff are also helpful

I had a lovely stay at the European Hotel. My room was nice and was cleaned every day and a fresh towel and soap was also provided each day. A full English breakfast was also included in the price. The food was well prepared and the dining room nice and clean. The location is great, I walked down Grays Inn Rd, each morning, into Holborn, Covent Garden and beyond, before getting a bus to other places, too far to walk. I could have got a bus from a stop close to the hotel, that would either connect me or take me to many parts of London, but I like to walk as much as I can. King's Cross and Paddington Stations are minutes away from the European Hotel, with Euston Station around a 10 minute walk. I have seen some good reviews and some bad reviews for this hotel. Many people nitpick, what they should remember is, the European Hotel is a budget hotel, and the price of a stay at the hotel, reflects that fact. Along with many other people, I am on a budget and to find a hotel such as the European, at a price I can afford is great. The fact that the hotel is in such a great location is a bonus. I will definately stay at the European Hotel again and I will recommend the hotel to others

Affordable accomodation very near Kings Cross and St Pancras stations. Good location and surprisingly quiet at night. Basic amenities but linen and room was clean. Ample breakfast with tea/coffee, baked beans, bacon, toast, poached or scrambled eggs, sausages

We stayed at the European Hotel near Kings Cross in London for three nights. We got a dirty loft (fire trap) room that smelled mouldy and moist with shared toilet and shower. In the daytime the room was incredibly warm (though it was November and freezing outside) and it was not possible to turn down the heat. At night it was extremely cold due to the heavy draft from the wall and window - and we did not feel like using the smelly blankets! We did not take off our shoes at all, because the floor carpet was very dirty and badly smelling to. The shared showers on the hall where disgusting. The only light in our room was a naked light ball hanging from the ceiling and the electric installations looked were doubtful. The only good thing was the clean sheets / towels and the location. We would not recommend this hotel

My two sons and I stayed for one night in a triple room with en suite shower. The triple room had a double and single bed - three singles would have suited us better but we managed. We all enjoyed our stay and found the facilities, although basic, were clean and served our purpose. The staff were friendly and helpful and the generous cooked breakfast set us up for the day. We would definitely stay there again for a short break and thought it good value for money. The location was excellent - a short walk from the station and having deposited our luggage, during our stay we were able to explore on foot to Oxford and Regent St and the British Museum,thereby saving tube fares. Convenient for food stores and we found a really good chippy on nearby Leigh St. After check-out we were able to leave our luggage on the premises until our evening train which was helpful. Some small improvements towards comfort would be welcome, eg hook on bathroom door, real milk instead of powdered in bedrooms, and one of those disposable complimentary shower caps would have been good, as I forgot to take one!

Had to walk up 4 flights of stairs to a room that recognised an enlarged cupboard, or even better a cell. The pipes at the back of my bed was the first thing to wake me up, God only knows where the water was going to or from. Walls were so thin I could hear everything in the next room and the room door was on a lock that all was needed to open it was a good shove. Don't get me started on the toilet, what was in the bottom of the bowl, I dread to think. Altogether not a very good experience

Very clean, good heating, good breakfast (a little heavy for me), but very, very Spartan accomodation. A little more "attention" to guests would not hurt. For example, my room was gloomy; the light was very low.

Was greeted very warmly after staying at the hotel many times now. I always enjoy my stay where the atmosphere is good and friendly

Room too small and very basic. Good location. Didn't like being in basement. Way out if there is a fire?

The hotel's location is perfect. A two minute walk from King's Cross Station. The staff is friendly. Our room was nice and clean. We had our own bathroom, where towels were changed every day. Also the room was cleaned every day. I liked breakfast a lot (coffee, tea, cornflakes, juice, eggs, sausages, baked ham, toast, butter, marmalade). I would highly recommend it to all of my friends (I actually have already). All in all we were pleasantly surprised and are definitely staying there whenever we come back to London!

It is very good location and facilities there, however the internet use there is not so convenient

My basic single was just that: a narrow monastic cell with basic furniture, a flickering non-digital TV and a wash-basin. But it was clean, blissfully quiet, the bed was surprisingly comfortable, and simply as somewhere to sleep on a busy visit it was functional. But my top floor room was reached by six steep flights of stairs (no lift), perhaps a problem for some. The breakfast was fatty trucker-stop basic (not very good quality bacon and sausage, but plentiful). Much could have been forgiven if the staff had smiled instead of looking bored and faintly contemptuous

Your rating will depend on what you are looking for. I was looking for a no frills room within a block or two from St. Pancras. That's what I got. European Hotel is a very easy walk from St Pancras, just take the underpass to Euston Road and turn left, away from Camden Town Hall. Follow the street right in front of you, for a block and you'll see it. So if the watch word is LOCATION, then the European Hotel is a pretty good deal for a real bargain price. You can also take the Picadilly line to Covent Garden and Picadilly Circus and get to both places in a matter of minutes. In terms of luxurious accommodations, well.., if you are looking for luxury and cushy diggs, look elsewhere. This is a bargain hotel and you get bargain amenities as well. Just decide, do you want to buy the place, or do you want to spend the night? That's a decision you will need to make for yourself

Europen Hotel was very near to Kings Cross, just a few minutes walk. It was quiet, seemed secure. The reception knew we were arriving and quickly got us our key and sorted out the payment. The breakfast was a full English breakfast, canteen style but filling. There were tea and coffee making facilities and everything was clean. On the negative side the room was extremely small, with a short, small double bed. We had two small suitcases and it was not possible to move around the room without having to continually move the luggage. We had a ground floor room, which was reached by going down three steps and then up three steps. The corridor to the room was very narrow and there were other room doors opening into this corridor. If there had been a fire alarm during the night it would have been very congested getting out of even a ground floor room. We probably would not go back because of this
