Place was convenient to the tube station, friendly staff, reasonably priced breakfast. Clean room , fresh sheets. I have no issue with the small bathroom, however a bathroom mat outside the shower would be preferred also to prevent accidental slipping from water splash. I would book again on my future visit.

Great for a budget night

The Swinton Hotel did the trick foran affordable short night before heading to Heathrow at 0500. The room was super clean, and bed comfy tho everything on small scale. Front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Convenient to Kings Cross station after visiting York.

Good for overnight stay

Good basic hotel with adequate facilities, close to Kings Cross Staff are lovely and very helpful Breakfast is continental though there is a fair choice Only downside was location with loud music and voices coming from 2 cars below my room and motorbikes using the road as a race track through the night but this is not the hotels fault Overall, recommended for overnight stay.

Avoid

Only 10min to travel n station. Hallway is really narrow, lobby is too small. If you claustrophobic, try to avoid this place. Bathroom looks like from Horror movies.

We can confirm the previous good reviews

I srayedvwith my husband announced 2 sons for 2 nights in a family room at Swinton. The staff was very friendly and everything was easy. The mattresses of all 4 beds were really comfortable and the room/ bathroom was newly renovated and very clean. The bathroom was quite small but had a big shower. We would definitely recommend it!

this is definitely a budget hotel, which is fine. All we wanted was a place close to the train station for 1 night. It satisfied that need. Biggest complaint is lack of any hooks or bars to hang a towel in the bathroom. Also peeling paint in bathroom. Room was very small, but one night was alright. Staff (especially Yai) were very helpful and helped overlook other shortcomings. I would not recommend for extended stay.

God awful hotel.

Where to begin.. one of our group is on crutches, the lift was out of order, the stairs we had to use were uneven with loose carpet -dangerous, a step in the corridor that only had a warning sign after the step, we then entered our room no.10, to discover smashed plug sockets and phone outlets, a leaking radiator that had a cloth stuffed behind it to soak the leak that had clearly been there a while -orange stains on the skirting, radiator was cold on top and only warm on the bottom. One plug socket was blocked and couldn’t be used. The bathroom.. a mould covered ceiling, a broken shower door and loose toilet seat, a leaking tap and broken toilet roll holder that left screws sticking out. The fire doors were propped open with rags stuffed under them throughout the hotel, we had to return our keys whenever we went out of the hotel, with no explanation as to why, which left us feeling as though our belongings wouldn’t be safe in this god awful hotel. If we could rate this hotel in the minus, we would have done. We will not be recommending or returning to this hotel. If anything we will be warning people away. Nothing about our stay matched what we had seen or read online.

Hôtel sympathique

Accueil très chaleureux dans ce petit hôtel L’ascenseur était en panne mais le monsieur de l’accueil s’est proposé de monter les valises Chambre 23 La télévision fonctionnait mal il y a des coupures nombreuses et pas de chaînes françaises Nous avons pris le petit déjeuner une fois mais sommes arrivées juste avant 9h et l’employée ne semblait pas ravie car elle rangeait tout et commençait à tout nettoyer Sinon hôtel dans une rue calme près de la gare Donc parfait pour quelques nuits

O local é bom, os funcionários muito atenciosos. O que ficou a desejar foi o fato do elevador não estar funcionando em nenhum momento das minhas 3 diárias e me pareceu que não funcionava há muito tempo. O Box do banheiro é muito pequeno apesar de ter espaço para ser maior. Mas era tudo muito limpo, todos os dias disponibilizavam água.
