This was the most dreadful hotel I have ever experienced it was like something out of a horror movie. Smelly dirty room overlooking a block of noisy council flats which I witnessed a robbery on the last night of our stay. My friend and I felt very unsafe heard lots of strange noises and the gap under the door is... more

We stayed for one night in this hotel, which looked convenient regarding its close location to St Pancras' Eurostar station. That was the good side of our stay in the swinton hotel. We payed 70 pounds for a double bed room, shower and WC included. We were given a room on the street side, with a thin glass window that... more

Me and my wife were only in London for one night, and were looking for a cheap hotel round Kings Cross that was nothing special, just a place that we could get some rest for the one night we were in London! We booked into the Hotel Swinton as it was only £70 for a double room, and was in... more

Stayed in this hotel September 2007 for one night. it was booked as a spur of the moment decision and after reading previous reviews I was quite dubious regarding what the hotel would be like, also the fact that the taxi driver had never heard of the hotel made us even more wary! However, on arrival, although basic, the room... more

When you get a room in a London hotel for £42, you can't expect fantastic quality and awesome facilities. What you should be able to expect is politeness from staff, and maybe even a welcoming smile. Having taken my room key out of the hotel (apparently against the rules - not that i'd been told), I was the subject of... more
