Bottom Line
The 25-room Macdonald Hotel is a budget bed and breakfast with a friendly atmosphere that’s within a three-minute walk of Kings Cross St. Pancras station. Traditional rooms have flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers, and some have private bathrooms. But the carpeting shows wear in places; the decor is dated; and there's no air-conditioning or elevator. Breakfast is included in the room rate, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Travelers looking for more up-to-date budget accommodations can try the Tune Hotel Kings Cross.

Scene
A family-run, traditional bed and breakfast with a friendly vibe
A friendly, welcoming atmosphere prevails in this no-frills family-run hotel. Overall, the decor is minimal and not particularly noteworthy. The small lobby has blue carpeting and a wooden bench, a large window, and crown molding. Tan tile matches the yellow walls in the quaint breakfast room, with wood chairs and floral curtains, and a mounted flat-screen TV. Guests tend to be families and couples looking for simple, cozy accommodations with a central location.
Location
Conveniently located within walking distance of train stations, attractions, restaurants, and shops
The Macdonald Hotel is on a quiet street off the main road with the British Library, King’s Cross St. Pancras Station, and the St. Pancras International Train Station within a five-minute walk. Cartwright Gardens, the Euston Station, restaurants, and shops are within a 10-minute walk, while the Dickens house and Russell Square are within a 15-minute walk. Madame Tussaud’s and Regent’s Park are a 10-minute drive away, while Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey are within a 15-minute drive or 20 minutes via public transportation. Both the London City Airport and Heathrow Airport are about a 30-minute drive.
Rooms
Rooms with homey but dated style with flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers; some rooms with private bathrooms
