The California - London Kings Cross: A 3-star hotel directly opposite King's Cross and St Pancras stations

Accessibility

Less than a minute's walk from King's Cross and St Pancras stations, the hotel provides direct access to the London Underground, Eurostar, and national rail services. The British Museum and Camden Market are both within one mile of the hotel. Guests can explore Piccadilly Circus and other central attractions via the nearby tube.

Room Options & Design

The 60 rooms occupy four floors of three conjoined Georgian townhouses featuring original staircases, corridors, and windows. Each room includes a private bathroom, a radio, a TV, and tea and coffee making facilities. Some rooms offer unique design elements such as adjustable flying beds and quirky decor not commonly found in budget hotels.

Dining

A full English breakfast is served daily from 07:00 to 09:00 at the five-star Megaro hotel, located just a few doors away. The hotel's own bar and lounge offers drinks and a relaxed atmosphere, with an outdoor private terrace for socializing. Guests can also order food at the bar and enjoy wine, champagne, or coffee on the premises.

Amenities

The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk with luggage storage service and safety deposit boxes. Dry cleaning and laundry services are available on-site, alongside a shared lounge/TV area and board games for guests. Pet bowls are provided for guests traveling with dogs.

Family & Group Accommodations

Family rooms and unique room types accommodate groups of various sizes, with cots available for infants upon request. The hotel's location near King's Cross makes it convenient for families traveling by rail. Staff are available to help with luggage up the narrow stairways, as there is no lift.

“This property stands out for its prime location a short walk from King's Cross, making city exploration straightforward. The individually styled rooms and outdoor terrace offer some quirky character, a nice change from standard hotels, although some may find the soundproofing less than ideal. Overall, it's a conveniently situated and comfortable base for a London visit.”
