Latest 5 reviews of Arriva Hotel
Cheap Accommodation close to Kings Cross
I selected this because it is walking distance from Kings Cross Railway and Tube Station. At night time you can hop onto the tube and Leicester Square is only 4 stops away.
Hotel is budget accommodation with small rooms, but i did find it clean. I paid 50£ for a twin room with breakfast. Good value.
Breakfast is basic continental, but fills a hole.
I think if i was coming again i would look elsewhere, but would not be too disappointed if i ended up back here.
Close to Chunnell train
A 2 star hotel which had a tiny room walking distance to KIngs Cross and St. Pancreus Station. The Bathroom was fairly new. and clean. No telephone. Breakfast was fine. Bed covers a little worn. Not enough light.. A internet rate that was very resonable for London. The tube is at KIngs Cross. The man at desk at night was quite helpful.
Don't stay here unless desperate or broke
It's a filthy hotel. The staff have no attitude for hospitality and appear to have no idea about London, which was a real problem for us.
As a result of the Arriva Hotel's incompetence, we had a transfer booked to 'Stansted' Airport, instead of Heathrow Airport. This resulted in us missing our flight and having to pay a lot of money for new tickets and overnight accommodation to fly out the following day. The guy on reception didn't know how to book this transfer.
The rooms aren't clean and the beds aren't comfortable. But if you're on a budget, or desperate, then stay here at your own risk. Just don't trust the staff to do anything for you or give you the right directions, or disinfect the toilet etc etc. You will need to do all of that yourself. And, I wouldn't eat the breakfast either as I'm sure they leave it out overnight without covering it!
An excellent hotel for your stay
The hotel is located at a 5 to 10 min walk from Euston and King's Cross Tube stations. The Hotel is Pretty good and the front desk people arr soo good in solving all of my problems what i had in my stay of 7 days. I had been from India to this hotel and found very worthy for my money. The hotel got many attractions around as it is located in central London. All the areas like Oxford circus, piccalilly circus, soho, camedon town and lots London attractions are very near.
The hotel has 24 hrs front desk where a man is continuously seated for the safety of guests. The main advantage of this hotel is it got many pubs and bars near it and more over food restaurants and grocery shops around it.
Run AWAAAAAAAAY! Really. It is THAT BAD.
If you simply cannot find another place to stay... then, change your travel dates until somewhere else is available!
Honestly. We stayed here four years ago for our wedding anniversary, and the experience was so bad that we feel the need to write a review so others do not make the same mistake we did. We wanted somewhere near Kings Cross (this "hotel's" only positive feature); though the hotel is fairly inexpensive, it is still a waste of money!
The breakfast was basic. The service was almost non-existent. The room was dirtier than any we have seen. Take our advice, and the advice of hundreds of others... pay a bit extra to stay in a hotel that is not damp, dingy, and dirty (we had to request -- ie. demand -- "new" bedding upon arrival.... you don't want to know the filth we found).
Happy travels. (And by the way, happy travels do NOT involve the ARRIVA).
