Wardonia Hotel is a lovely hotel. I booked a single room. It was a very small room, but it was very clean, the single bed is comfortable, and although it is really small, there is a shelf by the bed, with a double socket. There is a shelf with a kettle, and hot drink provisions. The shower and toilet is very clean, and easy to use. The liquid soap is situated in the shower space, rhere is a shelf and a mirror above the sink. The staff were all lovely and very helpful. They were friendly, communicative and happy to have a chat with you. I booked for 2 nights, costing £178, which for King's Cross, is really good. It is extremely close, about 6 minutes from the station. The reception is manned 24hrs a day. I will definitely stay there again.

One for the books... but definitely not one I'd repeat.

This hotel in London looked much better online than it did in reality.

The room was tiny. Not \"cozy\" tiny. More like a hole in the wall. There was barely enough space to move around, the overall condition was disappointing, and it wasn't a place that felt clean, comfortable, or welcoming.

Travel has taught me that budget doesn't always mean bad, and expensive doesn't always mean great. But this was a reminder that reviews and photos only tell part of the story.

Lesson learned: I'd rather pay a little more for a place where I can genuinely rest after a full day of exploring.

Safe to say, I won't be staying here again. ✈️🏨

If all you need is a bed for a night, this is ok. The room barely had space to walk around the bed and the en-suite was tiny with enough room to turn around on the spot from the toilet to the shower. Everything was clean, toiletries, nice fluffy towels and tea/coffee making facilities provided. It was only a few minutes walk fr King’s Cross. Overall, enough for the one night stay.

The location was excellent, but the room and bathroom were cramped with very little space to get around. The corridors were very narrow, which is probably not uncommon for an older London building, but it creates very close proximity between the entry doors of the rooms and the noise travels a lot. The female reception desk staff member was helpful and kind, but the male reception desk staff member was rude, disrespectful, and unhelpful when it came to basic logistics of check in and check out, because of this, I would not stay here in the future.

It was terribly hot, the hotel had no ac and could not offer any space fan. When I requested if there was a fan available for our room the receptionist gave me a look like was crazy to ask and said no (while she sat at the desk with a space fan blowing on her). It was a great location right down the street from Kings Cross and pancras stations but we were super relieved to only be there for one night.

I chose to book a room at this $150-per-night hotel because I was traveling alone and would be spending only about 12 hours in the hotel. It was a terrible, very bad, no good 12 hours.

The passages are extremely narrow and dimly lit. (I could barely fit my standard, rolling suitcase through the hallway.) Those tiny hallways prepared me for the incredibly tiny room. I knew the room would be small per the photos, but there is not enough room for even two people to pass by each other. The bathroom sink is about the size of a cereal bowl; the shower stall is smaller than many cruise ship showers.

The worst issue of all, though, was the lack of ventilation. I visited on a very hot day in London, so I was prepared for the room to be unpleasantly warm. I estimate the temperature was at least 80 or 85°F in the room, and there was absolutely no ventilation whatsoever. (I have slept in the Caribbean without air-conditioning and got a better night’s sleep because, at least, there was moving air.) Not at this hotel on the first floor, at least. I requested a fan, and a couple of hours later, the manager brought me a tower fan unit that moved the air a little. I still had to get up four times in the night in order to take a shower to cool off and get back in bed.

The convenient location—just a block from Saint Pancras train station— is the only real attribute this hotel offers. I do not recommend.

If I could give this hotel 0 stars, I would. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. The room was extremely small for two average-sized adults. We are not large people, yet there was barely enough space to move. Everything was crammed together, making the room feel very claustrophobic.

We stayed for four nights during a heat wave. The room had no air conditioning, only a small fan that was dusty and didn't work at first. When we asked for a replacement, the staff simply said they could \"clean it a little\" and told us we were lucky to have a fan. No alternative, or cold water or just tap water was offered.

Because of the heat, we had to keep the windows open, but that meant waking up early every morning because the curtains didn't block the sunlight. We barely slept during our entire stay.
The customer service was unacceptable. One male staff member, around his 50s and bald, was consistently rude, dismissive, and completely lacking in empathy. This wasn't a cultural difference—it was simply poor customer service.
Our room was on the second floor, accessible only by very narrow, steep stairs. We asked for help with our luggage, but no one was willing to assist.

The carpet was dirty, and even the luggage storage room was neglected—the door didn't close properly.The only positive is the location near the train station. Otherwise, this hotel is severely overpriced. If you're traveling with an older adult or anyone with mobility issues, avoid this place.

Very close to St Pancras/Kings Cross. Spotlessly clean bathroom. Bed comfortable. Pillows need bit attention but overall comfortable enough. Carpets could do with attention. Room (single) small but all that you really need. Not cheap but at just over £100 per night good value in that price range. Would though suggest more realistic price £65-£85 guest wise but appreciate London and prices cost/high.

Conveniently located hotel with lovely staff. The room was nice and clean, small but I was aware of this in advance so it was no issue as a single guest, however the price was quite steep given the size, even with the location in mind.

The only issues I had was the bed, while comfortable was EXTREMELY creaky (another nod to the steep cost here) and I kept waking myself up in the night from the noise it made as I turned in my sleep. The radiator is also very dusty, I coughed a bit in the night but unsure if that is related, but it would be great if that was given a little love to match the rest of the clean room!

Good size bathroom, and they had both a soft and firm pillow for use, in addition to a little TV and reading light. The window also opens nice and wide which was great to cool the room in this heat! (Though given the cost of the hotel a little AC upgrade would not go amiss)

Super easy to check in and check out, and overall was a smooth stay

Only reason gets one star is due to location, very well situated for St Pancras and King's Cross.
Other than that no other good points. Appreciate Georgian building so difficult to do anything about room size, however everything is extremely basic, bed not comfortable for couple, carpets felt grimy so never removed socks. No USB points. Bathroom had awful smell and some form of beetle ran across the floor. We did not feel comfortable using the shower the next morning.
Only stayed one night but even with location would never return. Very expensive for an uncomfortable stay.

This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve ever had.

Before arrival and after check-out, we asked about luggage storage and were bluntly told “no” both times, with no explanation or willingness to help. The front desk was run by an older man with an extremely poor and dismissive attitude. He barely responded to questions, avoided communication, and made us feel unwelcome and targeted, giving a strong impression of racial discrimination.

At check-in, no identity verification was done, which is deeply concerning in a city like London and suggests serious safety negligence.

Despite booking rooms advertised with a city view, we were assigned two basement rooms with no view at all — a clear case of misrepresentation. The rooms were freezing upon entry, smelled musty and moldy, and relied on old radiators that made the air extremely dry. The staircase to the basement was very steep and narrow, genuinely unsafe when carrying luggage.

Noise insulation was terrible, with loud footsteps from above throughout the stay. The rooms were also exceptionally small, making it difficult to move comfortably.

The most unacceptable part: we paid nearly £200 per night. At any time and under any reasonable standard, this price for such conditions, service, and safety issues is completely unjustifiable.

This property fails in service, honesty, comfort, and safety.
If you are staying in London, avoid this place — it will ruin your trip.
