The California is a charming, modern and quirky bed and breakfast, less than a minute's walk away from King's Cross and St. Pancras stations. Our 60 stylishly refurbished rooms, each one cosy and comfortable, are spread over four Georgian townhouses, and we've retained as much of the original architecture as possible; our windows, corridors and staircases are all original. This means that we don't have a lift, but we do keep our reception open 24 hours a day. We have high speed WiFi is throughout the hotel and have a fantastic little bar, lounge and private terrace for our guests to enjoy. We serve a great breakfast. Welcome to The California London. Visit anytime, explore every time.

This was an excellent hotel which upgraded my room for free as rooms were available. Stylish decor, comfy bed. I reccommend. Very good location right by kings cross. Be aware they take a £50 key deposit up front

I was very happy with staff, and location. I was disappointed there’s no restaurant connected and the one that’s there was closed on Mondays, but won’t serve dinner until 5:30, all in all the staff was awesome and very accommodating

checked in late and left early , so difficult to be too objective in a review. The room was simple and perfunctory as expected, but the bed could have been better. great location for Kings cross and very clean so fitted our purposes for one night well

Great location and a comfortable stay for my boss who is always on the go! He often needs to get an early train out of Kings Cross, so this place is conveniently located and a stones throw. Rooms are comfortable and clean and the team are great.
