We were going on a day trip to Paris that left early on Eurorail. This hotel was very close to the station and places to eat. We had a nice stay at the hotel.

Great location across from main train stations, hop on/hop off bus, tons of stores, and British Museum. It's in a more budget friendly area, but hotel itself and walk to train station felt safe for both of us traveled females. Easy check in and out. The room was cozy and nice, shower was hot, could use some minor updates. Great hotel for a short cozy stay.

6/10 Okay

Clean, Friendly, Economical, Great Location

What I look for when I travel: clean, simple, economical, and well-located. Central Hotel has all of this, plus super-friendly, helpful staff/owners. Being across the street from St Pancras/King's Cross means you have quick access to Eurostar, the airports, and three underground lines. (Leicester Sq is a 5-min ride on the Piccadilly line.) It doesn't have breakfast, AC, or a lift, and some of the rooms don't have en-suite baths; if you're ok with that you'll love this place like I do.

Thanks for the great service

Amazing location just across the road from the rail station...yet very quiet. We arrived early in the morning & a lovely & helpful man allowed us to leave our bags. When we arrived back in the evening the bags had been delivered to our room. The room was compact but very clean & the beds were made up each day. An amazing deal for the price! Would totally recommend this one & thank you to all of the lovely staff.
