The Spotlight on Elmwood Hotel

Affordable Comfort Steps from King's Cross

Modern yet simple, the Elmwood Hotel is a central London budget stay just a short walk from both King’s Cross and St Pancras International stations. With free high-speed Wi-Fi and 35 newly decorated rooms, it’s a fuss-free base for exploring the city’s music scene and iconic attractions like Covent Garden and Oxford Street.

Why Concert-goers love it

Elmwood Hotel is in an unbeatable location for getting to gigs across London. Just a few minutes’ walk to major transport hubs, it’s incredibly easy to catch the tube or late-night buses back from concerts. The area is lively but not overwhelming, so you’ll get a good night’s rest after the show. Plus, with a 14:30 check-in and an 11:00 check-out, there’s enough flexibility to suit most schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

Perfect for groups of friends heading to a gig, solo music fans ticking off a dream show, and couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway. It’s also ideal for budget-conscious fans who want a place to crash without breaking the bank, and those looking for a quiet post-show recovery spot close to the action.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, the hotel offers a continental breakfast featuring ham, cheese, yogurt, cereals, and more—perfect for a slow morning after a late night. Dozens of cafes, pubs, and late-night eats are within easy walking distance thanks to the central location.

Nightlife Options

You're surrounded by nightlife near King’s Cross—think cozy pubs, stylish cocktail lounges, and late-night street food. Whether you're heading straight to bed or want one more drink, you’ll find plenty of options just a short stroll away.

What People Say

Guests love the value for money, especially considering the unbeatable location. Reviews often mention the friendly staff, reliable Wi-Fi, and how easy it is to reach concerts and events across the city. Clean rooms and basic comforts round out the experience for travelers who don’t need all the frills.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side and some guests note that the building shows its age in places—but for the price and location, most find it a fair trade-off. If you're expecting luxury, this isn’t it, but if you're after convenience over indulgence, you’re in the right place.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a central, affordable, no-fuss base with easy transport links, Elmwood Hotel hits all the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Robert T, Gateshead, visiting Scala London

The bed was sooooooo squeaky I couldn't sleep for fear of waking up the next room, as every slight movement made this bed creak and squeak. Also, very small bathroom for the price. The room could have been more modern, but you pay for the close location to the train station and underground.

Liked: Location; front desk was friendly.
Disliked: The bed.

Horrible

Liked: The unlocked window view was of an bricks of a small alley and buildings. I tried sticking things to prevent the window from opening. The room was like a dorm room. Very tiny. Small shower and the wrong toilet bowl covet in the little rectangle that made up the square room.
Disliked: Fix the room. New linens. Remove one bed. We had a twin and a double. .

Quiet but convenient location for...

Liked: The location is super close to kings cross station without feeling like its right in the middle of the business and the noise. Its an easy walk to the station which gives you access to all the train lines there in London for easy transportation. It is located on a quiet street with a park just across which makes it feel quiet and relaxing. The property itself was very affordable for a family of 6! Breakfast was an additional charge of $5 per day per person which we paid. It was simple but very filling and worth the convenience. The staff was very helpful, very knowledgeable, and was always on hand if something was needed. We would stay here again for our next trip to London.
Disliked: There was free wifi, but was very hit or miss in our basement room. It is also an older hotel, so I would say if you are looking for someplace that is more handicap accessible this would not work due to the narrowness and amt of stairs. It is no problem for someone abled bodied.
