Beautiful foliage might be covering the sign outside this King's Cross hotel, but it's worth working through the tangle of vines to find the Mabledon Court Hotel, where modern amenities and central location come at budget prices.
Singles and doubles are standard issue with faux-wood furniture, pink-and-blue striped bedspreads, and drapes to match. All the hard to reach spots are dust-free, from the fan spokes to the crevices in the heater.
The lounge, taking its cue from a nightclub VIP area, is furnished with a funky rock-plant table and geometrically patterned pillows. The breakfast room is just as mod, and lets in plenty of sun through the glass roof.

About the Mabledon Court neighborhood
King’s Cross is an area in flux. While many Londoners will warn you to stay away from the streets around King’s Cross and St. Pancras stations, the area is in fact only seedy here and there. There are oodles of small bed & breakfasts in the area, as well as upscale restaurants, and a real range of retail, from news agents, to shops peddling ethnic goods, to chain stores. King’s Cross benefits from proximity to Bloomsbury, and offers hotels that are, on average, quite a bit less expensive.
