We had a wonderful experience at the California Hotel, and the value for money was very good. The service, cleanliness, and overall stay all exceeded what we expected. Our room was spotless and comfortable, which made travelling with our little one much easier. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. They quickly and cheerfully handled our requests, especially anything for our daughter, and helped us feel relaxed and well looked after. We’d certainly return and would happily recommend the California Hotel to families looking for a comfortable, friendly place to stay.

The California Hotel was clean and comfortable, just right for a short overnight stop on a business trip. I arrived by Eurostar, and the location couldn’t have been more convenient, being so close to the station made things easy after travelling. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Lady Emm and I only stayed one night, for the first part of my birthday surprise, but we gave this quirky, bespoke hotel five big stars. It felt welcoming and friendly, with super helpful staff, right opposite King's Cross and St Pancras. The California Hotel has a cozy, quiet feel and an eclectic style. It’s in a handy spot for getting around London, with King's Cross and St. Pancras stations a very short walk away. A fabulous little place.

I came over from Italy for a conference, and the hotel’s location made it very easy to get around, especially with the station so close. The hotel was clean and well maintained, and the staff were welcoming and helpful.
