Very basic hotel a few meters away from Kings Cross underground station, the room was small but very clean and ideal for one or two nights stay. The price per night is great value for money. More

We have just spent two nights at the MacDonald Hotel and had a very pleasant stay - we needed somewhere to stay on a budget and although our room was small and perhaps a bit dated, it was clean and had everything we needed! As with a lot of the other reviewers, we found the staff were very friendly, welcoming... More

Gret location close to Kings Cross/St Pancras Stations. But thats it. Tiny room literally 3m x 3m including bathroom...you step out of bed into the bath room. Our room was advertised as a double but the bed was marginally bigger than a single.....Luckily we were just married. Also lucky we only stayed 2 nights. Breakfast was ok but in a... More

I stayed here in a room with a shared bathroom and toilet. Something I usually wouldn't do. I arrived late at around 11pm but was greeted by a very good receptionist who I think is the manager. He gave me my room key and told me where to go to get to room 101. The room was small and not... More

I've been lucky enough to stay in some of the best hotels in the world. This isn't one of them. But it is cheap, clean, safe and less than 5 minutes walk from London Kings Cross station. The staff have always been friendly and helpful, and I will continue to use it when on business trips to London. More

This place was luxury after staying in backpackers for a month on a Topdeck tour. It was tidy and clean. My friend and I had a twin with ensuite room. The bathroom was clean. Plenty of bedding and was perfect for what we needed. We were able to keep our bags arriving early and departing late - which I would... More

I stayed at this hotel twice (in 2011 and 2012). it is very close to Kings Cross Station, and the manager is really nice and helpful. Basic but clean; compared to similar hotels in the area, the MacDonald offers the best price. I would stay at this hotel again. More

This hotel is the best value for money. It does not pretend to be an upmarket hotel, but it is clean, comfortable, the staff are helpful, the location is incredible, and it is cheap. The rooms are small, but one spends very little time in one's room. The money I save I can spend on my holiday. I have stayed... More

I sometimes feel like I must have stayed in a completely different hotel than the other reviewers but I read the review from 'disappointed' and agree with everything there. I stay in hotels for 250-275 nights of the year. I chose this hotel because of the location and I didn't want to spend and arm and a leg for accommodation... More
