Pros:

Séjour à 5 dans une chambre. La chambre est petite pour 5 personnes mais suffisante pour une visite de Londres. Hotel calme. Sanitaire en commun. Cet hôtel était bien propre! A recommander.

Great Value for Money for a Three Night Stay
Pros:

The value for money of the St. Athans Hotel is great. I booked a single room with a twin bed and shared bath. The room was small but as I had expected. There was a sink in the room, a place for my bag that included spots to hang clothing or your towel and a kitchen-type chair. Everything was useful. There was a window facing the street with both a sheer drape and a drape that blocked all light from the outdoors. The shared baths on the stairs were kept clean and I never had to wait to shower or use the toilets. There is no elevator so everything is a walk up. If you think you would have issues taking a large bag up the stairs, request your room to be on the first or second floors. In order to get into the building, you have to ring the bell and a hotel representative will let you in, even after check-in. This was something to get used to but not a problem at all. I would stay again.

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

la ubicación es la mejor si planeas estar en la zona centrica de Londres, habitación muy buena amplia y limpia. Baño amplio y luminoso. Muy cómoda la cama. Si estás en alguna habitación de los pisos de arriba ten en cuenta que no hay ascensor,son todo escaleras pero para nosotros no fue ningún problema :)
Hay café y té en la sala de abajo todo el día disponible lo cual es un punto positivo también!

Cons:

me hubiera gustado en el baño privado de la habitación un secador de pelo pero por lo demás todo genial :)

Confortable, accueillant, rien à redire ! Typiquement anglais. La localisation est idéale.
Pros:

Literie très confortable, personnel attentif et accueillant, décoration soignée et chaleureuse. Le manque de salle de bain dans les chambres n'est pas ressenti : les salles d'eau sont proches des chambres. C'est très calme.

Cons:

Peut-être qu'une bouilloire dans la chambre serait la bienvenue

Great location, good price, helpful staff. Simple room but a decent base for a three-night stay.
Pros:

Easy access very close to Kings Cross with many nice cafes for breakfast nearby. Team on the front desk were helpful, providing an iron-board when I asked to use one. Room clean and quiet.

Cons:

Basic shared bathroom, little means to store clothes in the room.
