The location of princess was the best thing ever. Just 2-3 mins walk from king cross. The rooms are very small and basic. But it's clean so that's enough. The sharing bathrooms waere always clean although sometimes the water heater acts up Breakfast was yummy and so filling. Great value! Recommended for all travellers who just needs a simple night...

We stayed here as my fiance had friends coming over from Ireland and needed a base to travel to the sights of London which was cheap. We arrived early on the Saturday morning and they kindly stored our rucksacks whilst we went off trying to find the friends. The staff were very helpful. We didn't opt for an en suite... More

Pros: Location, Price? (cheap but terrible value for price) Cons: They lie about storing your luggage on day of arrival and departure, they don't even have a place to store it. Staff is very rude, and being polite to them does not change that. They even blamed me for the ash clouds over Europe because I am from Iceland, and... More

I stayed in the Princess B&B over 2 periods - 3 days in May and 3 days in June with a friend. To be honest, I have never stayed in a non-ensuite room while travelling overseas and princess B&B was the first; I was naturally apprehensive. During my first leg of the stay, my friend and I got the basement... More

We arrived at 12:00pm and were told the room wasn't ready and they weren't sure when it would be. Check in time says 12:00 pm and onwards but he couldn't even guarantee that it would be ready by 2:00 pm. They were able to hold our bags for us so we could go sightseeing and fortunately it was ready when... More

Horrible place. Very old rooms. Bed was OK. We paid for a room with bathrooms, and we couldn't get into the bathrooms. They were very unclean and we still ended up going to the common bathroom. The bed covers were very rough. Breakfast wasn't bad. More

Room wasn't ready when we arrived as our plane landed in the morning. We left our luggage with them and went out sightseeing. Our room was upgraded to a quad so it was larger than expected which was a blessing with three woman with large suitcases. The reception gentleman was very nice and helpful. The breakfast the next morning was... More

Location is great, right across Kings Cross Rail/tube station. Breakfast/staff was also nice. However when it comes to the room, it was really creepy. There was a smell, as soon as you enter the room, something like old wood (since there is wood all around in the room). The shower inside the room was even worse, i did not use... More

The only positive points were good location and reasonably helpful front desk staff. Room was small, old beds and carpets. Toilet was extremely small & smelly. Lousy ventilation. Require refurbishments. The worst is that the cook was the rudest man we came across in London. Bad customer service! More

The price for this hotel was very good for London standards and the room was clean with even a coffeemaker. The TV was very small, the bed was too unfortunately and we did not sleep well because of the bed and especially because of the noise of our neighbours. No they did not speak very loud, but when they walked... More
