Bottom Line

The 30-room Fairway Hotel is a charming family-run budget property conveniently close to Kings Cross St Pancras tube and train station. Cozy rooms have flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, wood floors, and large windows, but there are no bathtubs or air-conditioning. Additionally, some bathrooms are shared and have a musty smell. The free breakfast receives mostly good reviews, and there is free Wi-Fi throughout the property. However, both the breakfast area and the front desk close early, and there is no elevator or on-site parking. As an alternative, travelers could also check rates at the up-to-date, budget Tune Hotel - Paddington.

Oyster Hotel Review

Fairway Hotel

Scene

A quaint, family-run hotel with a cozy, inviting atmosphere

This family-run hotel offers a homey, friendly atmosphere. There's a stylish lobby with gray wallpaper, a wooden front desk (though it's not staffed around the clock), a flat-screen TV, and a leather chair. A modern hanging light fixture and light tile add brightness to the space. The cozy basement-level breakfast room has wood wainscoting, pinkish walls, and rust-colored velvet curtains. But hallways at this property are narrow, and there's no elevator.

Location

On a quiet street within a five-minute walk of commerce and public transportation

The Fairway Hotel sits on a quiet row of Georgian row houses with the St. Pancras International Train Station and King’s Cross/St. Pancras Undergrounds Station a five-minute walk away. The British Library, Cartwright Gardens, restaurants, and shops are also within a five-minute walk, while Russell Square is a 15-minute walk from the hotel. The London Zoo, Convent Garden, and Leicester Square are a 10-minute taxi ride, while Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben are 15-minutes away by car, traffic permitting. Heathrow Airport takes just under an hour by tube.

Rooms

Comfortable and basic rooms with large windows and wooden floors, but no air-conditioning or tubs

Rooms at the Fairway range from tiny Economy Rooms to big Quadruple Rooms with wooden floors, red blankets, colorful abstract artwork, and big windows that let in lots of natural light. Flat-screen TVs are mounted on the walls, while coffeemakers sit on light wood desks, but none of the rooms have air-conditioning. Bathrooms are simple, with gray walls and tile walk-in showers. Some rooms share musty-smelling bathrooms and only have sinks in-room.

Features
