The Belgrove Hotel

I stayed at the Belgrove for 3+ weeks in 2024 and stayed again this year because the first visit was so enjoyable. When I travel I am only in my hotel room when I'm sleeping and to shower and get ready in the morning. The room I've stayed in isn't large, but had all the essentials. The Belgove is clean, in an excellent location, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I needed to add a day onto my reservation and the manager did so immediately, arranging for me to be in the same room I was in. The room I've stayed in isn't large, but had all the essentials. The next time I visit London I'll gladly stay there again.

This is my second time here, the most convenient location, and affordable.

I was in a room at the very top floor of the building with no Elevator. Someone carried my large suitcase up thankfully. It was hot in the room and I had barely room to open my suitcase. They brought me a fan which was appreciated. You are basically paying for location. Its ok for 1 night

The motion light in the bathroom when showering took some getting used to.

Narrow stairs

Near Saint Pancras Station for the Eurostar train the next morning. Tiny stuffy room in the basement without air conditioning nor toilet. One toilet in the narrow corridor serves about 20 rooms. The bed mattress is uncomfortable. One night here was too many.

Was told wifi instructions were in the room, they weren't. Staff members in the evening were incredibly rude and unfriendly.

Location. Conveniently located next to King's Cross. So, if you have an early morning train to Paris, this is an affordable option for you while in London. But watch out for the homeless and addicts on the street in King's Cross; they may accost you for no reason. Small room. No lift for basement rooms. NO AC. No fans. Small bed. The bathroom leaks from the rooms upstairs.

Clean environment&friendly staff

Location. The room has a small desk fan which doesn't help in hot days like mid July in London. The water flow is bad.

Would not eat breakfast in this building because of inside appearance. This building should not have been advertised as a Hotel. More like a Hostel. Hallways were dark narrow and carpet looked dirty, Rooms very small, shower and bathroom hardly could pass as such. See above.

Room was clean and a small fan was provided which was important as this was on the top floor. Nice to have a sink in the room when sharing a bathroom and shower, though the cold water needed a strong hand to turn off. The location really can't be beat. It's just across the street from King's Cross / St. Pancras train stations and the Piccadilly line. Leicester Square was about a 35 minute walk as was Regents Park and Camden Town. Nice to have a central place to rest between outings. The room was right next to the toilet and I couldn't hear a thing and nothing other than doors closing. The toilet and shower were separate rooms which is a convenience. Staff allowed me to leave my bag and check-in was easy. The light in the toilet was motion activated and turned off after about 15s so I had to keep waving my hands around. Took showers off peak times with no problem but one time I took shower in AM, much less pressure. The bed was fine, a twin but long enough for my 6'3" frame but the floor was a bit tilted so felt like I was going to fall off. Piles of sheets were left on staircases, one day overnight, which I felt created an evacuation hazard. Location is central to the station but lots of hard living folks in the area which made early AM, late PM a bit nervy. Price seems just a bit high for what you get but it was high season in London so maybe not - about 3x what a hostel would cost but full privacy in the room so a trade off to consider.

The location across from Kings Cross Station was very handy Very old and dated. Wifi did not work

Small bed in small room. Cheap quality.

The bathroom smells, the shower is tiny and dark, and the fan is super noisy

Convenience is what a Hotel in London, is always about for this writer. To head to the Front Desk, while others are still wondering which direction to go, and how much traffic they’ll face is a plus. It might not be a Five Star property, but the friendliness of the staff, more than makes up for that.

I really like that the hotel was charming and comfortable. It was comforting and made me feel safe. I really enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and they were extremly helpful.

Most of it

It was just opposite St Pancras Station. So central. It is an old hotel and the room was very basic but it was very clean. And also very quiet. I was only there to sleep so it was fine. It didn’t have a fridge but I really didn’t mind that.

Good location. Bed was comfortable. Horrible internet. Bathroom was very small.
