The House of Toby Reviews

People who put bad reviews, really? You have what you pay for. It’s very very cheap for London so the room is totally ok for this price. I needed it for some hours sleep before trip from Kings Kross station which is in 7 minutes from hotel Very pleasant stuff Clean and good, but not soundproof

It was quite far from the Eurostar station esp having to drag our luggages along uneven pavements. The hotel is more like a guesthouse and does not come with lifts i.e: you will have to carry your suitcases up flights of steps. Rooms were quite small and basic and the reception informed to always keep the bathroom door closed due to a highly sensitive smoke alarm system that is triggered due to hot showers. Once triggered the penalty is GBP100. Breakfast was basic.

Needed a place to stay over due to the train strikes. House of Toby was available and reasonable. Location to St. Pancras is good. The downside is our front facing room had all the road noise and lots of it. Room was small but adequate. Bed comfy, shower superb, tea and coffee facilities fine. Continental breakfast very good indeed. All staff were friendly, helpful and obliging. Recommend for anyone on a budget.

House is clean, service is good and host is responsive, good experience

If possible, don't go. There are probably better hotels around King's Cross that you can compromise on at similar prices. (First of all, it’s hard to call this a hotel.) It's smelly, dirty, noisy and dark. If you really need to come, avoid the basement and ask for an assignment. Any request will not be properly accepted anyway. Please note that there is no elevator.
