Hotel Arriva - London

6.2

The room was quite clean altough there was little space to between the bed and the wall. The barhroom was also clean but with few shampoo/gel or shaving sets. No english breakfast but continental one, the service was o.k. Very close to Kin´gs cross station.

8.5

Tubbo bene ; consigliabile agli utenti cui serve una buona ed economica base d'appoggio per visitare Londra.

6.4

Good hotel according to the price.

5.9

the hotel is located in a strategic place to move easily everywhere. We were given a double room so tiny that was imposible to move. When I complained about it they changed us to a comfortable one. We had no complains about attention and service in general.

6.5

Close to new San Pancras Intl train station. Located in mostly residential neighborhood. Room could have been much better, but good for our need. Not great at night due to fact that doors are hollow and management seems to allow the constant slamming of doors at night. Much better options would probably have been Ashlee House or Premier Inn. Market also within walking distance and good to buy most items at reasonable prices.

2.1

The continental breakfast war too poor. Some cornflakes, 1 kind of yogurt, 4 slides of bread. The table cloth was dirty... Regards

5.4

very small rooms, very basic breakfast; quality/price ratio however seemed good compared to other places in London. as a tourist very positive closeness to kings cross station

7.2

Breakfast was a disappointment.

1.2

My husband and I arrived at Arriva at 11 am. We were told that the check in won't happen until 3:30 pm. At 3:30 we get back and get the key to our room. Our room was literally a BOX. I was getting clastrophobic by being there, so we stayed in the room as little as we could. I'll start with the bathroom. 2 people cannot be inside the bathroom at the same time. They had a tiny sink, very small shower. Once you got into the shower you couldn't do anything else but wash your hair. I couldn't even bend to shave my legs because my head would hit the door! I couldn't put my things anywhere, because there was nothing to put anything on. So needless to say showering was a whole process. As far as the room itself goes, the bed we slept on was probably the most uncomfortable bed I've ever been on. You couldn't get around the bed because there's not enough room. We had trouble bringing our luggage inside the room because there was hardly enough space to get it through! They had this tiny little TV in the upper left corner, near the ceiling, just to give you a neckache. It was really hot in the room, so we had to keep the window open at night (and this is at the of November). We couldn't sleep at night because of all the noise neighbors were making. I don't blame neighbors as much as the room walls being too thin. Overall it was a disaster. And to add insault to the injury, they charge 5 BP a day for the internet!!! As if they don't charge enough for the room! I would not recommend this hotel to ANYONE. The service is poor, rooms are horrifying. You should only go to this hotel if your only other choice is sleeping on the street.

Direi che per gli standard londinesi questo e' di qualita' medio alta. Le nostre stanze erano "grandi" il necessario, molto pulite e credo ristrutturate da poco. Abbiamo avuto un problema di letto aggiunto (tipo brandina) che abbiamo risolto immediatamente. Ci hanno dato una singola ovviamente allo stesso prezzo. Mi preme insistere sulla pulizia. Consigliato se intendete scegliere quella zona (che non e' il massimo).

8.9

L'albergo è a due passi da uno dei principali terminal della metropolitana e della ferrovia (King's Cross) e solo per questo vale il prezzo. Inoltre le stanze sono pulite anche se molto piccole (almeno la matrimoniale perchè quella per tre pesone è molto più grande). Insomma, il rapporto qualità-prezzo è eccezionale. Consigliatissimo

5.9

Good surprise in terms of commodities (frigo and hair-drier not expected!). Room small as expected in London. After few days the smell of dust starts to get into you...Overall recommended for the price.

6.2

l'albergo dispone di ottime stanze, per quello che costa.la zona è tranquilla unica pecca dista 5-10 minuti a piedi dalla metro, e la sera quando si torna sembrano interminabili(sarà la stanchezza o forse sarà il fatto che per strada non c'è nessuno)sufficiente come votazione globale.si puo pagare in euro è qsto è un ottimo vantaggio.

5.0

We had no problems finding the hotel, the reception was helpful and friendly. Budget hotels are certainly unappealing in London, knowing that: superficially the bathroom seemed clean but the room had some dust, the wc didn't seem disinfected. The tea-maker inside the room was suspiciously yellow inside and our cups were not washed daily. Having reserved through "Venere" I would say this particular 2 star hotel was O.K. for the price... We would have expected more (at least a full English breakfast) if we had payed the "booking-directly-at-the-hotel" room price. After midnight I suggest to take a taxi since it is a rough area.

2.0

Assolutamente sconsigliato!!! Non è vicino alla metro come dicono, la strada è una coda continua di macchine e camion fino a tarda sera, con conseguente rumore e smog tale da rendere l'aria irrespirabile. Le finestre non si potevano aprire più di un quarto (ma tanto se si fossero aperte saremmo morti dalle esalazioni!), e senza aria condizionata il caldo era insopportabile. Il bollitore era pieno di un acqua putrida stagnante!!!! Il ceck-in c'è stato fatto alle tre, contrariamente a quanto indicato. La scortesia e freddezza degli impiegati è stata sconcertante. L'unica cosa che si salvava era la disponibilità delle cameriere nella prima colazione. Infine della paventata ristrutturazione non c'è nemmeno l'ombra! L'albergo è economico, è vero, inoltre a Londra con questa fascia di prezzo non si può pretendere molto, ma ne abbiamo provati diversi prima di questo e vi possiamo consigliare decisamente di lasciar perdere.

7.9

Very good quality versus price if you ask for a room which is not on the side of the road (we were given another room because it was too noisy). Very close to the city center.

7.7

We spent 4 days/ 3 nights in London, and we just got what we expected from a cheap hotel in central London. The situation is perfect, as we arrived to Luton airport, and the transfer train arrived to King's X (where the hotel is). There are more metrolines, wich are good for tourist (Piccadilly, Victoria, Circle), so we reached the important places within 15 minutes. The rooms were quite clean, and just enough spacious for this short staying (tough our friends' rooms were in the -1 floor, and that ones were really tiny).The breakfast was continental, wich is rather nothing (two toast/person with butter and jam), but there are sandwich bars in the neighbourhood, so we survived. Conclusions: I can recommend Arriva for everybody for a short stay, it's really cheap in London (65 Ł/double/night), and anyway:you won't keep party in your room, when visiting London for a few days.

6.2

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The only comment I would like to make is that nowadays it is not very appropriate to charge an amount because you´re paying by credit card. I think they should at least say it in the reservation process. When we arrived at Arriva hotel, they never said anything about it. On the contrary, they sent an authorization message to our bank to see if we could pay the price for the room 6 nights, but they did not include a 3,5% for paying by credit card. On the last day, when we were about to pay, they said they had to charge us that quantity. I think they should have said it before. I complained because I did not know. The man in the reception desk understood my complaint and did not charge us. It is strictly necessary to know how much you are going to pay. However, it is not usual to carry a big amount in cash, so, why charge for a payment by card? Increase the price for the room, but do not make the customer pay if he/she did not know about that condition!

7.8

The hotel, the room and the service were ok. Employees attitude and service was ok. Kingcross station is really close. The elevator was out of order and it was difficult to reach the second floor through the stairs.

7.4

mio marito ed io ci siamo trovati benissimo rispetto a quanto ci avevano detto degli hotel a Londra camera piu che decorosa bagno pulito molto calda (abbiamo spento i caloriferi) colazione discreta zona tranquilla comoda per le escursioni in città - abbiamo girato Londra a piedi è favolosa a due passi dall'hotel c'è un pub (the Lucas arms) dove abbiamo mangiato bene e a poco prezzo quando tornerò a Londra andrò ancora ad Arriva hotel

3.3

The quality of the rooms is correct, both bathroom and bedroom wide enough, and a very useful fridge in the room. But the employees, mainly one of the receptionists were unpleasant or directly stupid! The breakfast room is very small for the people in the hotel and probably you'll have to wait for your turn, the coffee is horrible and the employees not very inclined to help you.

9.1

I travelde with my girlfriend, the price of the hotel was Ok for London Zone 1, the area is quiet noise but is rally close to the center, good service by bus and tube! Maybe the rooms are small but you have to live London so... Ho viaggiato con la mia ragazza, il prezzo è OK per Londra centro, molto buoni i servizi offerti dall'area anche se rumorosa. Io lo consiglio, per una 5 giorni londinese, a chi vuole vivere la citta e non rilassarsi troppo in camera!

5.7

The room was very small, and there is a useles kitchen in the room. It's in a quite area, close to the station.

6.6

ottima sistemazione per brevi soggiorni. Posizione centrale e ben servita. Complessivamente buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

6.2

Hotel muy muy bien situado, dentro de la zona abarcada por el metro circular, por ello que se encuentra bien servido por 5 lineas de metro, a 4 minutos del hotel. Junto a las lineas de metro se encuentran Sant Pancra's i King's cross una de las estaciones más importantes de Londres (estación de Harry Potter). Por lo cual se envuentra muy bien conectado con los puntos de interés de la ciudad. Para los amantes de la noche, se envuentra en una zona no turística pero habitada por las rarezas de la noche londinense, con locales de mucho interés i típicos de la movida Londinense. El hotel como en todo londres, con habitaciones muy pequeñas, pero muy muy limpio y con el desayuno tipicamente británico (debe de gustar) incluydo. La recepción poco atentos i con marcado carácter inglés, poco esfuerzos para hacerse entender y para comprenderte. Valoro positivo por la situación y la higiéne

9.3

Although the room was not very spacious, it was very clean and well fitted out. Hotel very convenient in terms of location. A bargain for the price, considering you are so close to the centre. Will definitely stay there again when in London.

8.4

i think the Arriva is a good hotel. there is a good relationship between price/quality. however my roon was little, but confortable. it is near the station and the tube, quickly accessible.

5.3

Bathroom indecent and room very noisy. Table for breakfast dirty.

4.2

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! On balance, the rooms were clean but a redecoration would be sorely needed. Also, the courtesy of the reception staff left much to be desired (in one instance both myself and another person waited over 3 minutes for our room keys while the reception person dealt with largely unimportant matters on the phone!). On balance, while the price is reasonable for a room with bathroom in cental London, I have found much better value for the money and better surroundings in West London.

7.4

The previous quest was a smoker. I slept in a room smelling like a pub in the morning after a party.

2.8

Room was not very pleasant, looked more like a run dowm bedsitter than an hotel room, bathroom was decrepid and not particularly clean clean

8.7

Quite good

7.8

A parte la colazione che lascia seriamente a desiderare, le stanze erano in buono stato, pulite e ben tenute

4.8

Pretty Grim. - You could do a lot better for the same price elsewhere. The key is to get a discounted room in a better hotel rather than paying full price in a mediocre place like this. And there are always discounted rooms available in London, if you search the web a bit.

3.2

Le camere sono poco pulite e minuscole. Il personale sbadato e disinteressato a tutto. la colazione ridicola! per quantità, varietà e servita in tazze scheggiate, lineate...ed ovviamente affidata a personale che si direbbe lì per caso o perché costretto con la forza!

3.8

A very short and unprofessional welcoming at check in. The staff in frontdesk behaved very sour and dull. The girs in the breakfast room were a bit politer and had a more serviceminded attitude. Every morning someone had to wait to get a table, thougt all the five or six tables were occupied. The room were a bit dirty and especially the bathroom had sign of recent guest, a bit disgusting i think. One doesn´t have to big expactations when the price is as low, but one will allways expect clean rooms and bathtooms.

6.1

All acomondations in London have a bad relationship between price and quality. They renovate nothing even they are abort-ripely. In central europe they wouldn't get any stars in a hotel category.

9.8

I stayed there for 4 days,location suprasingly quiet,v.good comunication access,friendly,competent staff.Good value for money

8.8

Il rapporto qualità/prezzo, considerando i prezzi di Londra, è ottimo. Tuttavia preferirei la prossima volta spendere un po di più e avere un ambiente migliore. Interni delle camere e il bagno sono fattiscenti, letto matrimoniale sembra una piazza e mezza. La piccola cucina che era in camera non si poteva usare, invece ottimo il frigo e il bollitore elettrico per l'acqua. Portarsi la riduzione per la presa elettrica (da acquistare nei negozi in aeroporto) perchè in reception non era mai disponibile e dovevamo lasciare di caricare la macchina fotografica e la cinepresa nella reception, dove però tra l'altro sono stati disponibilissimi. Gli asciugamani cambiavano ogni giorno. Ma la camera era molto calda. La sala per la colazione è piccola e si consiglia di arrivare la mattina all'apertura alle 7,30. Il pagamento: abbiamo pagato in contanti perchè con la carta di credito si tengono 3,5% in più, inoltre abbiamo potuto pagare in Euro al cambio favorevole che prendono direttamente dall'internet e quindi è il valore medio del cambio del giorno (niente come nelle exchange office "we sell-we buy". Molto comodo per chi arriva da Gatwick con il treno "Thameslink" è praticamente dietro l'angolo. La zona di King's Cross è però molto rumorosa e piena di trafico. Ci sono delle "tavole calde" dei gestori turchi dove si può mangiare bene e a buon prezzo con porzioni abbondanti.

7.7

camere un po' troppo piccole idem per i bagni abbastanza pulito per essere a londra e per il prezzo pagato nell'insieme da prendere in considerazione per una prossima volta

7.9

Not quiet,but you can close the windows,it will be OK. Good location.

3.1

The rooms are tiny, very small. One day it started draining water from the lamp. The beds are bad quality, the service impolite, and the breakfast extremly poor.

4.8

The room is very tiny. The third bed is a couch with torn cushions and uneven springs, gave me backache for a week. The shower hook fell off and the management did not bother to fix it. The breakfast room has 3 tables, I had mine sitting on the steps.

5.8

The employee was almost always on the phone. Rooms are not fully refurbished as described (especially the bathrooms). Rooms with view at the street are very loud.

7.4

Pregi: La pulizia delle camere è accurata. Rifanno i letti, svuotano i cestini e cambiano tutti gli asciugamani ogni giorno, lasciando saponette nuove sul lavandino. C'è un frigo ed un locale cucinino (senza fornelli). Bagnetto e doccia ok. Ascensore e moquettes dappertutto. Il locale breakfast non era eccessivamente spazioso ma non era un problema serio aspettare qualche minuto. Personale sufficientemente disponibile. Difetti: La ns. stanza (n. 44) era molto rumorosa per tutta la notte (ce ne sono altre però che non danno sulla strada). TV senza telecomando, in posizione altissima. Lavandino otturato per 2 giorni. Abbiamo pagato il 3,5% in più per il pagamento con carta di credito (e questo ci è stato detto soltanto l'ultimo giorno, quando dovevamo correre all'aeroporto con le valige in mano!) La consiglierei a chi (come noi) stava tutto il giorno fuori, in giro per la città, preferendo spendere di più per altre cose durante la vacanza.

5.6

very bad ventilation of the room

7.6

fair price/quality ratio for London. Perfect location. Be ready to pay extra 3.5% for using credit card

7.4

We had an enjoyable stay at the Arriva Hotel. My first impression of the reception area and the hallway was very clustered and claustrophobic, but once inside the room itself it was quite spacious and pleasant, if not a little bland. The area itself can be a quite noisy, especially during the night, since it is situated near the main road. However, being just two minutes walking distance from King's Cross station makes it handy to travel to the centre, airport etc. The breakfast area is small but what they have available is nice and the service is good too. For it's price I would reccommend Arriva if you are intending a short stay in London, but if any longer than a week there might just be better offers out there available.

4.4

deçu par cet hotel. chambre a deux lits alors qu'il etait demande un lit double. Tres bruyante et soit disant refait recemment :-(. De plus au moment de payer, le lecteur de carte ne fonctionnait plus et il a fallu payer en cash. Bref, decu.

8.4

quite distant from the center but very near to king's cross tube station!!! not very silent...

6.7

The employees seem not to like what they're doing, they didn't show ANY simpathy. We get to the breakfast room 15 minutes (our fault)late after the closing time and the lady denied to serve anything even looking to my pregnant wife. Don't let them call for a taxi, I guess they have any percentage on doing it, because the taxi is not a London one, is private and expensive. The room's kitchen is disgusting. The room, which faced the street, was extremely noisy.

8.7

Nice place, room bigger than expected. Rooms on the street are noisy during business days (mon-frid) early morning, no problem during WE

6.8

Exelent location, few minnutes from King's Cross underground.

9.4

We were very satisfied with our stay at Arriva. Low prised, good room, not too far from the central London scene. Can safely recomend this hotel to anyone going to London on a low budget.

6.3

The hotel has a big problem to serve breakfast. They only have one small room so people have to wait more or less 15min, and tables are not clean enough, cause other people had take their breakfast before. Another thing is that they don't mention us about changing time for spring(one hour), so we all arrive late for breakfast ant flights.

7.9

Small breakfast room (only 20 seats), be there early or late. The phones did not work. The room was clean and the beds good. Silent, both internally and externally. The location is perfect, near the King´s Cross railway/underground station with almost all tube lines in London. The manager, however, did not keep his promise of discount because of a trouble the first day. However, we can recommend this hotel.

6.9

There were only 6 breakfast-tables for all hotel guests. Every morning we had to stand in a long queue in front of the breakfast-room entrance in order to wait to be seated.

8.5

It was to be here. Everything was like scheduled and there're a tv, a good (even if small) bathroom, a sink with a boiler and the breakfast was very good (the waiting was exellent). The price is very low considering the others hotel all around London. It's near King's Pancross station and well connected to the rest of the city.

7.6

stanza piccola ma c''è tutto il necessario e a questa cifra a londra e tutto sommato in centro e ok

7.0

Rien de catastrophique, mais pas luxueux pour autant. On a eu très froid dans la salle de petit dej, une odeur pas très agréable dans la chambre sinon, et les sanitaires en mauvais état. Sinon que du bon, petit dej assez copieux! Calme. Propre. A recommander pour les tous petits budgets.

7.7

sono rimasto soddisfatto dell'alloggiamento più di quanto mi aspettassi.

6.3

Direi non male, gli asciugamani vengono cambiati giornalmente, la colazione è a base di toast e marmellata (a volontà), non vi aspettate un albergo italiano perchè non c'è paragone. Se dovessi tornare a Londra sicuramente tornerei all'Arriva.

8.6

The rooms have been cleaned every day, which is excellent and the price vs quality is very good. I liked the location - close to Tube etc. Can defenitely recommend this hotel for everyone who is on a budget.

5.5

When we checked in, we were told they didn't have us booked in for our second night...we had to re-check with them in the morning to see if we could stay in our room! There was a queue for the breakfast room on both mornings of our stay; on the first day we just couldn't wait as we had things to do, so we missed the breakfast. At check-out time, their credit card machine had broken, so we couldn't pay by card. We were forced to go and find a cash machine at that instant as they wouldn't allow us to come back later to pay (even though we were coming back anyway for our bags!), so that wasted at least 45 mins. The breakfast consisted of toast, cereal orange juice and coffee/tea - nothing special there. The room was spacious, as if it used to be a studio apartment, and even had a strange type of laundry/kitchen area which was not usable. The fittings/painting/furnishings were quite dated. 10 minute walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras station. Overall, a bit disappointed.

7.6

a parte un vago odore di muffa e la pulizia non proprio accurata della stanza(forse una verniciata sarebbe appropriata), il resto e' ok se consideriamo che nella stanza c'e anche il frigo e ipiatti.

3.8

The room was double, and we've asked for a triple. The third person slept on the sofa, where the matress was of very bad quality. The bathroom was very small, and with no hot water. The room was full of dust, even the telephone machine was black from dust instead of white. Overall it was very dissapointing, we had to find another hotel. P.S the coffee served with the breakfast is awful, try the tea instead.

7.1

I went to London with 2 kids (10 and 14 years). The trippelroom was spaceous, but the bathroom was small, and dirty. The dininingroom was not "delightfull" (as written in a leaflet), and we had to que every morning for an available table. We paid £ 59, and I believe this is one of the cheapest hotel in London. The location was great, since we went to and from Gatwick airport by Thameslink. We would love to come back

8.9

An excellent accomodation for less money. I had a very spacious, quiet and clean room. The bathroom was a bit old but very clean. the bed was comfortable. I would recommend the hotel to everybody who's looking for a affordable place to stay in London. The staff was friendly. The breakfast room is situated in the basement and has no window, which is not so beautiful.

9.0

Good value for money, helpful staff.

6.5

"Bellino". Sicuramente va bene per chi come noi era piu' interessato alla citta' che all'albergo. Per cui la porta del bagno che era una tavola di legno con 2 cardini e senza maniglia, la camera che si trovava al piano interrato, la sala per la colazione cha ha le stesse dimensioni della nostra camere non ci hanno spaventato. Quindi se vi serve solo un letto e volete spendere poco e' il posto ideale, altrimenti trovate un altro posto! Nonostante tutto ci ritornerei.

5.9

Bathroomsdoor was out of order. One of the bathrooms lamps was out of order. The reservation of the room where not correct even we have called the hotell the day before arrival.

9.4

The hotel is really easily reached with public transport. You can get everywhere pretty fast. Of course, it wasn't a huge room, but for its prize it was quite spacious. The furniture of course didn't look posh and new, but it was all clean and nice. It was the first English hotel where I stayed and wasn't freezing at night. Quite remarkable. Also, I asked the receptionist for a hairdryer at 6.30 in the morning. He was very friendly and brought me one at exactly 6.30. Only problem was that my room was on ground floor so I could hear the traffic, but it wasn't too loud. I slept well. Definitely recommendable for its prize!

7.9

In effetti i commenti degli altri utenti sono molto attendibili: le stanze sono davvero molto piccole (soprattutto i bagni) xò sono dotate di tv, di frigo, piatti, bicchieri e posate ed uno scalda acqua (così se avete necessità come la mia amica di viaggio di scaldarvi qualche buona tisana nn avrete problemi!). Anche la sala x la colazione è piccola, dispone di 7 tavoli... e nn è molto ricca! scordatevi di poter mangiare nuovamente dopo parecchie ore!! La locazione è ottimale ed io mi sono spostata anche sola di notte senza alcun tipo di problema ... Lo consiglierei a chi come noi si "accontenta" di uno standard non proprio elevato ma di sicuro rapporto qualità/prezzo + che soddisfacente.

8.0

La stanza era spaziosa e dotata di ogni comfort si potesse desidere.La trovata del lavello e del frigorifero in camera è davvero azzeccata.I complementi del bagno erano tutti funzionanti,l'unico neo era rappresentato da una vistosa macchia nella vasca da bagno.Gli asciugamani venivano cambiati giornalmente.Nel complesso siamo molto soddisfatte del nostro soggiorno ed abbiamo deciso che,qualora dovessimo tornare a londra,alloggeremo nella stessa struttura.Abbiamo già consigliato a diversi amici di prenotare in tranquillità.

7.1

This property works more like a B&B than a hotel. The first room we got had no curtains and was so small that we had no place for our luggages. The bathrooms need to be refreshed. The breakfast room has no windows however the service is efficient. Price vs service is OK but next time I'll be happy to spend more to be more confortable.

6.9

location is not the most pleasant in london yet very well connected through underground and buses.sorroundings very poor, you need to move (close or far) to do anything.we had asked for 2 double rooms while one of the two was a twin. beds are quite comfortable but pillows seem to have potatoes in them. rooms are not very spacious but this is absolutely common in london, but above all they are a bit poor and very poorly refined, no aesthetical appeal. breakfast is continental type but room is too small for all guests: you need to wait most of the times. personal note: employees are all foreigners. they speak english but that's all they know about england and london. they cannot indicate or suggest any activity to invest some time in or any restaurant (so take a guide with you if you are tourists). in conclusion, if you consider the price of 48 pounds per night on a double room the quality you are given is more than acceptable (london is very expensive), but if you can afford more, get something better (at least 3 stars). personally i will not be returning to arriva

6.4

We were in London at the beginning of August. Even though the room was very spacious (we had 2 rooms in the suite), it was very hot and difficult to sleep at night. I do not think I would go to this hotel during Summer. Breakfast is very light, just coffee, bread and jam. Location is very convenient, easily accessible to subway and major bus route. Overall rating is good.

5.7

das hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen, war echt super. hatten erst ein 3-bett-zimmer (geräumig), dann aber, durch einen "fehler" ein anderes bekommen. diese war leider sehr sehr klein (umfallen unmöglich). das bett war durch spürbare fegern recht mitgenommen. frühstück naja - es ging so. postiv war der kühlschrank im zimmer, die sauberen handtücher sowie der kaffekocher mit geschirr und zutaten (tee, kaffee...)! FAZIT: für eine nacht war es ganz ok auch wenn der preis schmerzlich war.

8.4

We were pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Arriva is located close to the Kings Cross underground which was great! We will definitely return to the hotel when we visit London again.

8.6

albergo consigliato...il migliore fra i bed & breackfast dove sono stato a Londra. La colazione lascia a desiderare... non ti scaldano il latte, quindi te lo bevi freddo. per il the non ti procurano il limone.se ti fai chiamare un taxi nelle ore notturne x arrivare alla stazione dei bus come è capitato a noi, occhio che non è un vero taxi, ma qualcuno che lo fa in nero... per il resto quando tornerò a londra tornerò in questo albero.

7.7

Pros: Very good quality/price ratio for London average prices, rooms clean, very well connected. Cons: Rooms and breakfast room very small, quite noisy because of traffic.

7.9

Il rapporto qualità prezzo è veramente ottimo, nella carissima Londra un eccezzione, se tornerò a londra andrò di nuovo qui.

9.2

A pleasant place to stay. Considering that it was so close to the subway (King's Cross station is within 5' walk) and located literally in the heart of London, the place is highly recommended. Do not expect luxurious rooms, but they are clean, have a small kitchenette and own shower. The staff was friendly.

9.3

Very good relationship quality vs price, close to train, underground and bus stations. I recommend this hotel if you want to visit London.

8.5

Regarding London as being a most expensive city in any respect, the quality/price relationship of the hotel was excellent. Due to a route diversion which led all traffic of the ring road through the little street where the hotel is located, there was a lot of noise all day and all night. But definitely this is not the hotel's fault. The triple room was spacious enough, breakfast was o.k., though every day the same (toast, marmelades, tea, coffee, cereals), colour tv, refrigarator and hot water for tea and coffee in the room. You could leave your luggage if you arrive too soon or leave later. The underground station King's Cross is nearby. A very good hotel if you don't want to spend too much money and use the hotel just for sleeping and breakfast.

7.8

ok for visiting London

3.6

In our opinion there is one thing that keeps Arriva alive: 1. It's location (we walked where ever we went). Besides from that: - the rooms were very dirty - the breakfast was low quality - the rooms were not refurished at all - there were stains on the bed sheets - the bathroom seemed as if it was made during the war Since we didn't go to London to stay in the hotel, we didn't bother to find a new hotel. However, it is a bit disapointing to find out that the hotel is not in accordance with the information given and that we probably could have found something better and cheaper.

8.4

Excelente. Volvería a alojarme en este hotel. Lo único negativo: Sala para desayunos muy pequeña (y en sótano); a veces había que esperar para desayunar. Excellent. I will return to this hotel. The only negative: Very small site for breakfasts (and in cellar); sometimes was necessary to wait to have breakfast.

9.5

Es war ein super Aufenthalt! Wir hatten ein Zimmer nach hinten raus, es war sehr ruhig. Das Zimmer war sauber, einfach eingerichtet, verfügte über eine "Miniküche". Zum Frühstück gab es Toast, Marmelade, Müsli, O-Saft, Tee oder Kaffee. Das Hotel ist für einen City-Trip OK. Wir werden wieder kommen!

4.1

We had a room where nothing had been refurbished like announced in the brochure.The cooking facilities were old and partially dirty and so was our impression of the entire room.The breakfast room was too small to offer seats for all guests-you had to queue up.This hotel might be O.K. for those who just need a place to sleep.There are hotels in the same area offering more at comparing prices.

5.2

Nothing really wrong with the hotel, but the staff were not especially friendly nor competent.

the first room was so small I had to ask for another room which was ok, but the elevator broke down the first morning and they didn't seem to care if they fixed it or not, I have bad knees and the stairs were killing my knees, so we move to another hotel a block away with cost us more money. The place is way over rated.

For the price, Arriva is an excellent place to stay. Five minute walk from the closest tube station. Hotel is clean although the rooms and dining area are small. I would recommend Arriva without hesitation to people who are on a budget. Will stay there again.

After making the reservation on Venere, I called the hotel and requested a non-smoking, three single bed room and was told I could have that. When we arrived at the hotel, we were first offered a room with a double bed and a sofa bed. I told the desk clerk that this was not acceptable and was offered a smoking, triple bed room in the basement next to the breakfast room. We took this as it was late and we were tired. The room did not match the photo on the website--it had no curtains, lacked a doorknob on the bathroom door, had mis-matched beds and a broken toilet seat. One of the mattresses on the bed was so worn that my friend sunk to the box spring when she lay on it. The continental breakfast consisted of cold cereal and toast with instant coffee or tea. The hotel did suit our needs, though, as we were only there to sleep and shower. There is a nice pub next door and the hotel is very convenient to King's Cross station.

Pretty little hotel, friendly staff. Rooms to the street are noisy because of the trafic. Small twin room, small bathroom. The bath wasn't clean at our arrival. Not everything is refurbished contrary of what is indicated in the site. But when you run all the day to visit this and that, the evening you are so tired, that the only thing you wish is to go to bed. I could come again.

Thinking that staying in London is usually very expensive the Arriva is a good choice - but this and the central place are more or less the only advantages... When we came after 13:00 AM our room was not yet cleaned. Then the heating was completely turned on and not even the staff was able to turn it down. So we slept the whole night with fully opened windows (in february...) Over all the staff seemed to be very uninteressed. Breakfast was rather poor, and the bathroom nasty.

This hotel is great for the price and quality. It is not a shiney four star hotel, but the rooms are clean and very spacious. We paid £42, which is a steal considering the size of the room, cleanliness and the fact that we HAD a bathroom. Breakfast was lacking, but there are plenty of coffee shops nearby. We had a nice English breakfast 2 min. walk away for only $2 each. Would definately stay here again.

das zimmer war wohl nicht so wie das auf dem foto, aber es war trotzdem nett. es war sehr klein, aber dafür, dass wir eigentlich nur dort geschlafen haben ausreichend. gute lage, in der nähe sind sehr viele u-bahnstationen und busstationen. prei-leistungs verhältnis ist perfekt.

The Arriva offers extremely reasonable value for money compared to other establishments in the Bloomsbury/Kings Cross area. Our room was extremely spacious and very clean albeit a little noisy (as situated next to a busy road) and perhaps not to be recommended for the overly safety conscious as there were only sash windows with no locks and secondary double glazing. The corridors it has to be said were a little bit poky and musty but the reception area was very clean with comfy leather sofas and friendly staff. No cooked breakfast available but there is a more than adequate continental option of toast and jam, cereal and fruit juice. Overall, we were very impressed as were expecting a far more grimy and budget establishment than we were presented with.

Well, the room was very little and the bathroom was ruined but they were clean. The breakfast room was too little for all the guests. But they were kind and it was a clean place. It is very cheap for London and surely I will return there.
