We loved our stay at the Macdonald Hotel! We were so welcomed and this stay really made our trip to London worth it. For the price we paid we got exactly what we anticipated. The photos online are exactly what was shown. The location is very convenient, there is train station less than 5 minutes away. If you need an affordable, simple place to stay this is for you! We will definitely be back for our next stay!

Great little hotel
A great little hotel only a few minutes walk from King’s Cross / St Pancras stations so it’s a great location for exploring London. Friendly and helpful staff, quiet location and a comfortable bed made my stay very enjoyable.

4 adults in a room ready for an early Eurostar, was fine for that, wouldn't want to spend more than 1 night though as the bathroom is very small and there is very little space for bags.

Solid value
If you are looking for comfortable value, this is perfect. Very clean but small rooms — ideal for a solo traveler just looking for the basics. Very friendly front desk and easy walk from the Kings Cross tube.

Little gem in great location
Literal steps away from King's Cross St. Pancras. Cute little hotel for budget conscious travelers in perfect location for your trip to London. McDonald hotel is clean and cozy, you'll always have clean towels and coffee/tea supplies in your room. I booked accomodations with a shared bathroom, which turned out to be no issue, during my 4 night stay I not once had to wait to use the shower or toilet. I will definitely be back!
