WE had a delightful time at this hotel! It was so easy to get to the tube and it felt like a very safe neighborhood! It was a smaller room and ensuite bath, but very comfortable and had capabilities to make tea in the room each day. The hot breakfast was large and included yogurt, eggs, toast, juice, coffee and...

This is not the Ritz. But if you're looking for somewhere where you're a person, not a booking, try the Macdonald. It was pretty much as I'd expected, smallish room and not luxury. But the bed linen was clean and fresh, owner helpful, shower good and I was pleasantly surprised that my room overlooked a small park. I'd have liked... More

As with all Kings Cross properties rooms are very small. More of a B&B than Hotel. But it is well kept, friendly and clean with a good breakfast. Easy to find, just 200 yds from the exit of Kings Cross Station. If coming form stansted get the Stansted Express in to Liverpool St (Buy your tickets on the plane, it... More

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.

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.
