You could do worse than the MacDonald Hotel if you’re on a budget. I was on a tight one, and wanted a cheapo place so I could stay more than one night in London. Last time I stayed at the YHA Central London, but this time I wanted to make sure I got a good night sleep so I wanted... more

Mac Donald is a nice hotel, right next to the King Cross station. The rooms are very clean, but basic; good value for the money. It's the perfect hotel if you spend the whole day exploring London and you only are at the hotel to sleep. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast only served until 9am - this... more

Macdonald Hotel is located very close to King's Cross/St. Pancras stations. Very convenient to travel within London city as it is extremely well-connected with various lines that enables you to get to all famous sights in a very short amount of time. The hotel itself is very well-maintained, our room is very cozy and equipped with flatscreen tv, ensuite bathroom,... more

My daughter and I stayed 3 nights here. It is 1 1/2 blocks from both the Tube and National train station. We were able to get to the Airport by train and saved a lot in cab fare. It was quiet, comfortable and breakfast was good. We met several other guests who were quite interesting over the breakfast table- seemed... more

The Macdonald Hotel was one of the worst places I had ever stayed in, and I have stayed in a lot of hotels around the world. The bathroom in this place smelled like mould and death, and on coming back to the room after an evening out its smell had permeated throughout the whole room, leaving a miasma of wet... more

What you have described is truly a horror, I would have complained and not stayed. Period BUT I can assure you that what you described is not a room in our hotel. All our ratings on other booking sites (bookings.com, venere.com, laterooms.com and hostelworld.com) are fairly similar; above average and our highest scoring section is cleanliness. These reviews are requested...

The location is convenient especially when you need to go to Paris by eruostar, Manchester, Liverpool and Cambridge for day trip. Train stations are just nearby. The friendly staff are helpful. Besides, if you are 4, it would be better to take a taxi to airport instead of Heathrow express train. Sure trains are faster but if you have to... more

We were looking for a nice hotel, not too expensive, yet clean and near the city center. We found this all and more in this hotel, it's very close to St. Pancreas (6 underground lines) and it has nice rooms. They are not too big, but we only used them to sleep, so that was no problem for us. Another... more
