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.

As a solo traveller the...

Liked: Friendly reception staff on duty 24 hours.Very near three main railway and tube stations and for walkers many of the sites to see/visit are within about an hour away maximum,several actually nearer. I didn't have breakfast .The room was small and basic but was fine for a solo traveller like me who spent all day out and about London and just wanted a bed at night and a shower in the morning.
Disliked: Took me a few minutes to work out how to open the window but got there in the end.My room was at the back and there was a repetitive thumping sound which went on from early until about 8pm.Not sure if it was machinery in the hotel or perhaps from the building work going on in the area.I found it a bit annoying for the first day but by day two had got used to it.
