Elmwood hotel is very close to Kingscross/St Pancras, off of a quiet square a block or so off the Euston Road. It's convenient for coming and going from the airport or for getting anywhere you want to go in London.

Perfect budget hotel for the price. Clean comfortable bed and, while the shower is a bit tight, it’s plenty powerful and hot enough. Easy to find and plenty of good places to eat and drink nearby.

We were told to come back as room not ready at check in time. Went back and still not ready. The room inside was worse. Main plugs were behind wardrobes, beds. There was two single beds and a double. Room clearly was a double or two singles. No room to move. By didn’t work. Kettle has to be moved to the floor to plug in. Room was a mess. Would not recommend

Great location for train and tube stations and the King's Cross food market stalls. Friendly and helpful staff. We had a triple room which had 1 double and 1 single bed, it was very small, but clean and had everything we needed. If you are on a budget, this is a great place to shower and sleep. No frills but it was quiet, clean and had comfortable beds with good housekeeping. Didn't t try the breakfast but appreciated the tea and coffee making stuff in the room. 4 stars from me only because the hallways/stairways need an update.

Disliked: Amenities
Bed was NOT a double bed. Couldn’t open window as smell of weed filtered through from outside. Was extremely hot. Bedroom was extremely cramped. Bathroom was dirty. Water in shower drain still hadn’t soaked away. Towel to shower with was hand wash size. No hot water for shower - had to have a cold shower.

This hotel was a ten minute walk from st pancras/kings cross, an easy walk even with suitcases. It was right next to a small park, and I found several options for cafes, and restaurants nearby. It’s a quiet safe neighborhood that’s quite walkable and convenient to public transportation. I chose this hotel because it was affordable and a great value for the location, private bathroom with shower, a £5 continental breakfast that included a croissant, deli meat, cheese, cereal, toast and jam; and they had a 24hr concierge and were more than happy to hold our luggage so we could check in straight from the airport/train then walk to breakfast while we waited for our room to be made.

Small hotel close to Eurostar train station, and the metro station. Basic accommodation, the room was a bit small, but appropriate for the price. But was a bit surprised they charged for luggage storage on checkout day.
