It is what it is.
Guests found the staff at St Pancras California to be very accommodating and helpful and couldn't fault the service. The rooms were tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything you would need including tea/coffee and toiletries. Great for anyone on a budget.
positive:
Feast for a king.

In the thick of things.
Guests who stayed at St Pancras California had easy access to trains and tube stations, perfect for travelling into Europe and central London. Some guests chose this B&B for convenience, as they were located close to the Eurostar for their onward travel.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No Hotel California.
Some guests stressed how disappointed they were with the size of the rooms and also the lack of storage facilities. Some of the fixtures in the bathrooms were broken and that the rooms were not fully equipped. They also added that the rooms were too warm.
negative:
Middle of the road.
While some guests enjoyed a right feast at breakfast, others thought the first meal of the day was mediocre, stating there were limited selection and dairy products were often served at room temperature.
negative:
A Struggle with Luggage and Noise.
The guests who occupied the upper floors of St Pancras California struggled with luggage, as there were no lift . The basement rooms facing the street were noisy as you could hear pedestrians walking by. Inside the B&B you could hear other guests talking in adjoining rooms, doors slamming and TV’s turned up too loudly.
