No lighting at the top of the stairs so could not see anything when coming back in the evenings. No signs to show which stairs led to which room numbers. The stairs to the top floor were winding and very narrow. Is this code compliant? These were difficult to navigate especially with luggage. No exit signs were inatalled. Is this code compliant?

Clean room not very helpful staff

Clean room, very small one. I asked for an iron at the reception, but they refused to bring it to the room, offered to go down to iron. Very unhelpful.

This is par for the course for a traditional London hotel room. The room we stayed in would not be suitable for large or numerous luggage. Typical to traditional London hotels, there is no elevator. The stairs are narrow for "ground" and upstairs rooms, and to reach the area where breakfast was served. Some amenities are hand/body wash soap and shampoo. Water pot to heat water for instant coffee or tea. No heat for those cold London nights, but staff will provide a blanket on request. Our room was pitched from one corner to the opposite diagonal corner. Across the street, you can find a tennis court. Nice variety of food offerings within a block that you are not reliant on the train station offerings.

Stylish small hotel in a sheltered terrace not far from Kings Cross. Decent eateries and bars in the area. Worth a visit and quite comfy.

Excellent hotel, at last!

At last! A reasonably priced hotel close to St Pancras international which is really really good! Yes the free upgrade from a single room to a massive quadruple helped. Yes the unexpected complimentary bottle of wine helped too. But regardless of that, this is a lovely hotel which is clean and on really good condition, all helped by the incredibly friendly, good natured staff. I’ll most certainly be back!

The hotel is in a great location for the tubes and was very clean, with nice staff. The only downsides were you wasn't allowed to check in, even 1 minute before 2pm, even if your room was ready and the room itself was very small, with a small double bed.

Fantastic hotel

Excellent hotel. Lovely room and helpful staff. Location was close to Euston so great for us and a nice 30 minutes stroll into the West End. Breakfast was great with a good choice and good value for money. Lovely little pub just around the corner as well. Would definitely stay here again

Won’t be staying again

The hotel does not offer AC which is stated on the website but I didn’t expect the room to be an inferno. The heat kept us awake all night!! The rooms above us were so noisy you can hear every footstep sounds like the ceiling is going to cave in. The double beds are more like a large single.

Clean modern room. Nice touch with bottle of wine. Pleasant staff. Fan provided but not powerful enough for heatwave night! Informed them I'd arrive very late but when I arrived the concierge had gone and a phone number was left. Phone was dead so couldn't contact! Went next door to lovely owner of Avon more hotel who helped out. Apparently many tourists without UK SIM have problems calling the concierge too. Turned out he was in the basement all along - suggest a direct link to his room in future, or a video doorbell app!

Overall, this was a good hotel. My friends and I stayed in the top floor of this small hotel for our trip to London. Highlights are easy access to the metro station and neighborhood feels very safe and walkable. Really our only complaint is that there was occasionally the smell of sewage coming from the bathroom. The rooms and bathroom were kept clean, but the smell was noticeable (only at certain times and unrelated to our usage of the bathroom). Overall, this hotel met our expectations. Clean, comfortable and convenient!

The Mentone Hotel has a beautiful aesthetic. I stayed a single room and it had everything I needed! One gripe, the TV was not working, I came to London to study at RADA and spend my evenings dining and exploring, so this wasn't an issue, however I like to have the TV on in the background whilst working on my laptop or getting ready. Aside from that small issue, the location is excellent, walking distance to major areas of London. A short five minute walk takes you to London Underground, the area is beautiful being a grade two listed building, unfortunately no air conditioning as stated by Mentone Hotel due to the heritage of the building, but this wasn't an issue for me in room three. I'd happily stay here again, I didn't try the breakfast as I had food to go as I was studying early morning. 4.5 out 5, I would highly recommend and I plan to stay here next year during my next course at RADA.

Narrow stairs

Room was on the third floor, no elevator and stairs were very narrow from 2nd floor to the 3rd floor. For that reason wouldn’t stay here again.
