"Parking" is minimal and you get charged to use a space around the corner. Room was small but clean. Very little room in bathroom. You are getting what you pay for. Convenient to bow road tube station, short walk to ABBA and London Stadium.

Don’t stay here

By far Dirtiest hotel I’ve stayed in as I was going in it smelt of onions the carpet in halls was thick with dust got to my room the bathroom stunk of feet and sweat between tiles was black don’t know if it was dirt or mold felt unclean getting shower and when I arrived my room was like a oven because the heating had been left on full in there and my radiator controller was broken in the room I went to reception and he had to turn off heating on my whole floor as my heater was broke. Nd stuck on full it took hours of leaving window open to finally cool it down I didn’t sleep till about 3-4 am had to leave window open all weekend because they kept turning heating on the beds are very uncomfortable the bedding was inside out dirtiest hotel I’ve stayed in by far i would advise to stay somewhere else I understand it’s a bit cheaper than other hotels but no need for it to. Be that dirty

Hotel was fine; bed was clean. Only bad points; some noise from outside but nothing too bad. Room a bit tatty. At the price it’s what you would expect. No cold water in the bathroom; only hot. Beware that after booking online via an agent, it is advisable to call them to confirm; there seemed to be some confusion with the receptionist as a result of this. And also they require ID (driving license/passport) for check in. Would stay again.

Would not return

The mattress was saggy, the toilet was literally black at the bottom. There was black mold in the shower. The skirting board was full of grime. The room stunk. The bedding was crisp and clean.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at this hotel for two nights, booked through Hotel.com. The photos on the website looked great, but upon check-in, I was shocked by the actual state of the room. It was filthy dust covering the floor, dirty walls, an unclean bed, and a grimy bathroom. The room looked nothing like the photos, which, upon closer inspection, seem to have been taken in 2008. These rooms are genuinely unfit for anyone to stay in, and it’s clear they haven’t been maintained or cleaned in a long time. This experience left me deeply disappointed, as I trusted Hotels.com to provide accurate listings. I believe this hotel should be removed from the site, as it damages the platform’s reputation.

Just want a good place to lay your head? Read on!

My husband has been going up to London for Merchant Navy Day for a number of years now, and has always stayed at City Stay for at least the past 12 of them. Classed as a budget hotel it is more than adequate for his needs. 2 minutes from the tube to Kings Cross Station it is ideally situated. The rooms are clean and the bathroom is a reasonable size, but being an older building the stairs to the upper floors are not the widest! There is a small friendly lively pub nearby with tables outside if you prefer something quieter. There is a garage opposite with an onsite co-op shop and a Sainsburys store a short walk away to purchase your own food. The kitchen is situated downstairs and is stocked with basics, bread, milk, serials etc, as well as cooking facilities. Obviously the state of the kitchen is dictated by the guests who use it but always starts off very clean daily. There is also a small lounge with tv for socialising. If you are visiting London for sightseeing then you save a lot on normal accommodation prices. You can pay at the hotel and they do have a 24hr cancellation policy.

My bedsheet was not changed on my in date.

My bedsheet was not changed. They kept for me an already used one with stains on it and they deliberately laid the bed with the other side of the bedsheets just for me not to recognise it meanwhile l gave them prior notice of my checking time. The kitchen and fridge also is very unkept. The fridge is very old and atleast needs to be kept neat. Bad customer sevice

This "hotel" is a dump, dirty, and with rude staff. The room I got looked nothing like the pictures. It was a windowless room in the basement, with the walls, carpet, furniture and bathroom fittings all in bad need of renovation - probably the last time anything was updated was in the 1980s. The plywood door was shaking every time my neighbors slammed their doors (about every 15 minutes). There was a "breakfast room" right next to my room that stunk of burned oil, the food smell was so penetrating that I could smell it on my clothes after just walking across the space. An incredibly loud fire alarm went out at 1am. I asked the receptionist what it was about, and he said that someone was cooking in the basement "breakfast room" (yes, at 1am) and added that "it happens all the time". Checkout time was 11am. At 10:25, someone knocked on my door and said "checkout time is 11". I said I knew, but it was only 10:25. At 10:57, she knocked again saying it was "11 o'clock". I said, no, actually it was 10:57 (I was ready to leave). Her reply? "Now it is 10:58". I exited the room at 11:00, telling her that this was rude and unnecessary, and she started explaining how she had to clean the room to get it ready for the next guest - despite the fact that I left on time. After leaving the hotel, I noticed that although I paid on arrival, they charged me again for my stay on my card on file with Expedia, so now I need to get that refunded. Advice: stay somewhere else.

What can say? Awful

Hotel ‘room’ was out the back and up 3 flights of fire escape stairs. Bed was broken so any slight move made a noise. ‘Breakfast included’ was non existent. No evidence of any dining area or breakfast and no mention of breakfast by hotel staff. Daily housekeeping was clean towels left in a bag out side the room on one occasion. Carpets in room and flooring in kitchenette and bathroom disgusting. Food left in kitchen cupboards from previous stayers. Rat/mouse traps visible next to fridge. Used face mask left in top of wardrobe. Curtains hanging off the railing and overall decor was sub standard. No drawers to put clothing. Only one small bedside with 2 drawers and a wardrobe with no hangers provided. Towel rail in bathroom was not fixed to the wall so kept coming away. Not at all soundproof, woken throughout the night by various stayers walking past outside the window on the fire escape landing talking. Doors banged when closing, could even hear the extractor fan from the bathroom next door in our ‘room’. If the room was not ‘non refundable’ I would have cancelled this hotel and found somewhere else to stay.
