De kamer is inderdaad erg klein, maar voor ons was dat geen probleem. We waren overdag veel op pad en gebruikten de kamer eigenlijk alleen om te slapen. Daarvoor was het prima. De kamer was schoon en werd iedere dag netjes gemaakt. De winkels waren in de buurt en ook het station, aangezien wij bij vertrek vroeg in de ochtend de eurostar terug naar huis moesten pakken. Al met al een prima verblijf voor ons!
Very narrow corridors made getting luggage to the room tricky. We were only there one night so we could be near the eurostar. It was good value and was all we needed. Would stay again if we ever need to be in the area.

The night shift concierge is very rude , impolite and impatient to answer any questions. Frankly speaking, daytime concierge is good and nice. The outside street is very noisy even in midnight.

The hotel was in a great location, and the staff were very nice and helpful. The street was quiet despite being close to a major train station and the beds were comfortable so we slept well. The only negative aspect was the size of the room, probably too small for two single beds because there was no place to put our things, no wardrobe or table or chair. We ended up putting our things on the beds during the day and under the beds at night.
The place is very close to St Pancras station which made it really great to get to our train to Paris but with that being said, the room was tiny. It barely had space to move. I stayed there one night and I wouldn’t have been able to do more than that. We were on the 4th floor so yeah it was fun dragging our luggage on a spiral staircase. Other than that, it was reasonably priced and ok for a stay if you need to catch an early train out of st pancras.
Rooms are clean and staff is very friendly. Convenient to St Pancras and Eurostar. Easy access to underground.
Twin room and its bathroom are very small, so don’t plan on spending a lot of time there.
No elevator so if you can’t do steps, book first floor. Overall a very good stay.
First morning I stepped out after 11am, the clean person sprayed when I was in. The luggage room doesn't have cameras, stuff was not sealed,but one paper bag was lost.Stuff were very helpful.
All in all this place has great value for the money and is so conveniently close to Kings Cross. It was nice and quiet, staff were very friendly and it was clean.
Pro: It’s right next to Kings Cross station, which in my opinion is the best station if you’re looking to go around to all the touristy spots.
Con: The room was tight and it was very warm in there
Good if you’re doing just a couple nights. I wouldn’t suggest a week unless it was in a colder month
I strongly advise against staying at the Wardonia Hotel. We arrived past midnight exhausted from traveling, only to be met with terrible service and unbearable conditions. The receptionist, an older man, was openly hostile and rude. Accommodating guests in these stifling rooms during a heatwave is downright inhumane.
Our 4th-floor room was a sweltering oven, and it was so cramped there wasn't even enough floor space to unpack our bags. With no elevator, hauling heavy luggage up and down the steep, narrow staircases and tight corridors was exhausting and dangerous. To make matters worse, the carpets throughout were filthy, and the luggage storage area was completely unsupervised.
Because there are no in-room phones, I had to repeatedly walk down four flights of stairs just to ask basic questions, only to be snapped at with, "What is the problem now?" Between the appalling customer service, filthy facilities, and miserable room conditions, you should definitely book elsewhere.

The property provided easy access to St Pancras/ Kings Cross Train terminals, a few of the hop-on hop-off tour companies, and restos.

Room was clean but bathroom was okay. Very small bathroom sink.
Close to the train station, easy to get around London. Small rooms, suitable for sleeping and not spending alot of time indoors. Not a very noisy area considering how close to Kings Cross Terminal it is. Check in/Check out was a breeze. Would stay again :)
