While the staff were very helpful and pleasant, Both my friend and I ended up with bed bug bites from our stay. Expedia needs to stop offering the Swinton Hotel until this issue is addressed.

Avoid
Only 10min to travel n station. Hallway is really narrow, lobby is too small. If you claustrophobic, try to avoid this place. Bathroom looks like from Horror movies.

Place was convenient to the tube station, friendly staff, reasonably priced breakfast. Clean room , fresh sheets. I have no issue with the small bathroom, however a bathroom mat outside the shower would be preferred also to prevent accidental slipping from water splash. I would book again on my future visit.

Great for a budget night
The Swinton Hotel did the trick foran affordable short night before heading to Heathrow at 0500. The room was super clean, and bed comfy tho everything on small scale. Front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Convenient to Kings Cross station after visiting York.

this is definitely a budget hotel, which is fine. All we wanted was a place close to the train station for 1 night. It satisfied that need. Biggest complaint is lack of any hooks or bars to hang a towel in the bathroom. Also peeling paint in bathroom. Room was very small, but one night was alright. Staff (especially Yai) were very helpful and helped overlook other shortcomings. I would not recommend for extended stay.
