Ok hotel, not really value for money at £138
The hotel was ok. Our room was in the bottom of the hotel, so was noisy. Some noises sounded like someone was moving furniture. The noise did settle down. The TV wasn't working properly ith the screen going of after 10 minutes. For £138 we didn't think room only was good value for money

Great value
Lovely little hotel brilliant location, very noisy with building works across the road and extremely hot (even in November) there was a fan in the room but it didn't help. But the rooms were pleasant and the staff extremely friendly

Great location, affordable character
With warm greetings from staff upon arrival, The California, hosting some 60 rooms, is old-world boutique hotel, a comfy couch with a few bare threads in a location that’s hard to beat and a cozy patio for a coffee and croissant. The connected townhouses hide a warren of hallways and stairs where every room is different and reflects the cubicle style that seems to be rage.

Convenience is key
Location is prime as it is a stone throw away from King's Cross and access the the international trains into Europe, always a good back up when you have an early train in the morning

Small rooms! Britta water was stale in the bottles in the room! Very hot in the room! No screens on window! Down covers, no options for lighter blanket! Water in shower was hard to figure out for for water!
