European Hotel, London

...digress) I found The European Hotel whilst browsing ‘budget hotel’ websites for London. I needed a room for an over night trip, but wasn’t prepared to pay over the odds in a fancy hotel, when I only needed somewhere to rest my head, yet reluctant to go down the hostel route. The European stood out for me for its price, but moreoever it’s location. It was centimetres away (well, on google maps – not in reality, that would be silly) from Kings Cross! ...
...lobby is nothing fancy. The European is classed as a Budget hotel and you can sort of tell that when you step in. It has a hybrid feel of a weird European resort and a basic B&B. Nice creamy wallpaper adorned with Latin(?). There is a small desk to your right with a glass window, where sits behind; your receptionist. Out of the few times we had to speak to reception, something had gone wrong (just my luck), for example they put us in a double room, ...

Review of European Hotel, London

Review of European Hotel, London

...a holiday in London. The European hotel was the place where, after a lot of discussion and deliberation, we decided to book. I will aim to provide an opinion and experience to influence others to see if this sounds like the kind of place they would be prepared to stay in. The internet has really helped these small, little known places compete for business. The last time I went to London, seven years ago, the only hotels that were known beforehand ...
...more choice. We booked the European hotel through a search engine which picked out hotels that matched your criteria. All we wanted was a cheap hotel with en-suite facilities, how often do you spend in your room when you are on holiday anyway? The European hotel was certainly cheap, we booked a triple en-suite room which included breakfast for only around £26 per night per person, for London prices this is really good. What we got for our money was ...
