I selected this because it is walking distance from Kings Cross Railway and Tube Station. At night time you can hop onto the tube and Leicester Square is only 4 stops away. Hotel is budget accommodation with small rooms, but i did find it clean. I paid 50£ for a twin room with breakfast. Good value. Breakfast is basic continental,... more

A 2 star hotel which had a tiny room walking distance to KIngs Cross and St. Pancreus Station. The Bathroom was fairly new. and clean. No telephone. Breakfast was fine. Bed covers a little worn. Not enough light.. A internet rate that was very resonable for London. The tube is at KIngs Cross. The man at desk at night was... more

It's a filthy hotel. The staff have no attitude for hospitality and appear to have no idea about London, which was a real problem for us. As a result of the Arriva Hotel's incompetence, we had a transfer booked to 'Stansted' Airport, instead of Heathrow Airport. This resulted in us missing our flight and having to pay a lot of... more

If you simply cannot find another place to stay... then, change your travel dates until somewhere else is available! Honestly. We stayed here four years ago for our wedding anniversary, and the experience was so bad that we feel the need to write a review so others do not make the same mistake we did. We wanted somewhere near Kings... more

Following a late event, I booked a room at Arriva Hotel which was already supposed to be paid for by the company credit card before my stay. My collague had emailed confirmation of payment before hand to ensure this was taken care of so I didn't have to worry. I turned up at the hotel to be greeted (or not)... more

We stayed here for 3 nights; the hotel is located in a good location just 3 minutes walk from King's Cross- sant Pancras tube station and this allows the hotel to recover point. Breakfast was continental, but in good quantity. Probable the cantine is a bit small for the hotel but we always found a table to seat. Check in... more

To start with the (only) positives: the Arriva was somewhere handy (for King's Cross / Euston) to lay our heads overnight, was reasonably clean, and was unfazed by our late arrival (after midnight). That said, it was a Fawlty-Towers-type experience (without the humour) which I do not wish to repeat. I had emphasised in the booking that it was conditional... more

The location is great only a few minutes walk from Kings Cross tube and train stations, and the front desk guy was very helpful and efficient. I checked in to a room on the street which was noisy, but it was O.K overall with a TV and a fridge. But that night I saw a mouse that did not look... more
