EuroCheapo review print this page

The cozy, 30-room Macdonald Hotel isn’t the most charming or crisply designed hotel in London—or in the King’s Cross area, for that matter—but it will fit the bill for many. In its favor, it’s got double rooms with low nightly rates; rooms with shared facilities are an especially good deal.

The Macdonald’s rooms could use a renovation in the next few years, but are perfectly acceptable. We saw a large family room with single beds and a bunk bed. There’s a mix-and-match color scheme at play, with peach walls accented with framed reproductions of well-known paintings.

Bathrooms tend toward the cramped side, and showers share the floor with sink and toilet areas. (Guests should remember to avoid walking in their socks on wet floors after showering.) In sum, these rooms are acceptable, not too-cute-for-words. In addition to the budget-friendly price point, wireless Internet access is free at the hotel.

About the MacDonald 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.
