The property was ideally located, near the King's Cross Tube Station and St.Pancras International, making it easy to get anywhere in the city, and get out of the city quickly with no fuss. The accomodtion was simple and just what was needed....

Stayed one night at the California for convenience as had an early Eurostar to Paris. In my view it is overpriced but just needed a bed. Ideal for transport links but wouldn't pick to stay for a longer break. Couldn't fault the members of staff all very helpful. Construction ongoing outside the hotel but wasn't a problem and even though near Kings Cross relatively peaceful at night.
