We had stayed at the European Hotel at New Year and noticed the Howard Winchester next door. Both hotels are budget hotels and Argyle Square is an ideal location for Kings Cross. The Howard Winchester is even closer to Kings Cross than the European was. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. We had asked for a quiet room and... More

hotel is in a great location, across the road from Kings Cross and St Pancras Station. Outside lookjs nice, and reception is pleasent and clean. Corridoor and rooms come across as being a bit worn, but are quite clean. Comfortable nights sleep and an 'effective' yet basic breakfast served in the morning. To be fair, I didnt expect anything more... More

I paid £55 and got a very clean, very cosy double room. I got a very comfortable bed and lovely clean towels. I didn't have the breakfast, since I came a bit late and it was too busy for my liking, but that was my fault. Staff were all very friendly. The hotel is a stone's throw from Kings Cross,... More

Excellent location, friendless staff and good breaky. I've stayed here 3 times and I would again. The only issues are plugs in the rooms, I only have one and it's for the TV so bring a power board!

Stayed at this hotel and once again had a good night sleep. The hotel is basic but very good value and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good, freshly cooked and filling. You may have to wait a bit when it is busy but it makes you more hungry with the smell of bacon wafting... More

We weren't expecting much from this hotel and having stayed there I can say that the location is just about the only thing going for it. We found the staff at check-in and in particular breakfast bordering on rude. One of the staff got very aggressive with an elderly couple while we were eating which came across as very unprofessional.... More

The room you get can be a disaster. Mine had a leaky sink, the Internet did not work (it did downstairs) the carpet was worn, the bed was up against the window there was a single small towel. The place is cheerful, the staff helpful, the breakfast English and good.

I stayed at the HW between March 18/20 in a single room with an ensuite bathroom. Americans that have never been to EU they may be surprised at how small the room and bathroom are. The room was very comfortable and I cannot express how clean it was. Location was fabulous. Just a very short walk to Kings Cross St.... More

We stayed at the HW for 3 nights, the room & bathroom were compact but clean & cosy - what we expected, for the price we paid. Whilst we were there we had maid service daily, consisting of a supply off fresh towels & room clearing...current maids are completely trust worthy as my partner in crime often left his suitcase...
