Clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, the full english breakfast was good, the location is the best if you want to get around london easy and quickly by underground. The shared showers were not the best ones, it was either really warm or cold, but that's london.. Walls are quite thin too so the place isn't for you if... More

Clean room and hotel, staff were nice and great location right next to Kings Cross Station - easy to find, comfortable bed and good breakfast - given that I only spent £40 on the night. Would go again!

I allways stay near Kings Cross, cause of it's good tube connection, and it's close to the train to Gatwick. And close to Euston if you are traveling with other trains as I often do. So it's the perfet location for me, and I had a first time at Macdonalds. And I had a great stay, friendly staff, clean rooms,... More

The hotel is very conveniently located right opposite King's Cross St. Pancras, saving us a lot of time travelling around London. Breakfast is included in the room price hence for this price range, I doubt you can find a better hotel. However the room is on the small side so it could be inconvenient for big luggages.

For a short trip to London from the continent with a lower budget a nearly ideal place. We decided for Macdonald, apart of price, location etc.by two points shown at the website/reservations: The offer, to deal with our inquiry by telephone as well as convenient terms, especially in case of cancellation. We have not been disappointed. Good luck for the... More

Conveniently located close to St Pancras. Small rooms refurbished in DIY style, tasteless colours and bed cover, limited comfort. However, includes commodities such as tea-making set, toilet and shower (balancing out hot and cold needs an engineering degree though), TV with all UK channels, wi-fi. Decent English breakfast is served till 9.Tip 1: time strategically your breakfast to avoid queueing... More
