On December 8th, at 10.00 (GMT) I Called The Swinton on the phone. After a 2-3 min waiting, someone there raised the handset. It was an employee that went by the name of Paulo. There was some reluctance in his voice. I asked him to book a double room, giving him all the requested details, including my international credit card.... more

Booked in here by my company for its vicinity to our meeting. The outside looks OK even though the street was run down but once inside I had to resist running away. As four of us were booked in and paid for we felt obliged to stay The man on reception was pleasant but once we stepped out of the... more

The best bit was the huge breakfast. The room and bathroom was very small, but clean. The only reason to stay here is to be close to King Cross. more

The worst hotel I have stayed in for a long time. There must be one room in the hotel that is clean and fresh - that is how they fool you with a nice photo and you see the odd decent review (or the owner has written it!). From the moment you leave the reception area, your heart sinks. The... more

I was very pleased with this hotel and would definitely use it again if I needed somewhere cheap and near Kings Cross. The room was spotlessly clean and seemed recently decorated, with tea/coffee and biscuits. There was also a hairdryer, electric fan and Sky TV which is more than I expect to get in this price bracket. The only things... more

I booked the Swinton Hotel as I had to take a last minute business trip and as with most companies at the moment we are being encouraged to keep our travel costs to a minimum. As a female travelling on my own I always look for nice comfortable smaller hotels, never again, in future ill be sticking to the big... more

Ok, I really don't know what people are expecting for the money.. be really honest, you're not going to get the Ritz for a double costing £59 a night in central London! The hotel itself is ideal for anyone with a strict budget who just needs a base to operate from. It's really close to Kings Cross/St Pancras station which... more

My wife booked the hotel for it’s convenient location to the wedding reception we were attending and when I previewed it on the internet before our trip to London it looked clean, cosy and quite basic. My first impressions were daunted when we entered Swinton Street itself which looked jaded, dirty and neglected. We reached the outside of the hotel... more

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
