Wardonia Hotel

Superb

Terribly hot, stay away from...

Liked: The location is good, just across King's Cross St Pancras International, which was great for us since we traveled to and from there. Room was tidy.
Disliked: The room was so tiny that it was hard for us (2) to stand up and move at the same time, let alone unpack our luggage. But the worst thing is how insanely hot the room was. We were there during summer and the room was so hot that felt like a sauna. Our room was on the top floor, which made it even hotter during day and night. Even with the fan, it was really hard to sleep and we couldn't even charge our phones sometimes because we would get a warning saying it was too hot. The bathroom is so small that you can barely fit, no need to say that also felt like a sauna and even the floor was boiling hot. Besides all that, I found the staff very unfriendly. The person who was there when I arrived kept saying that I didn't have a reservation and was so lazy to do his work - turns out the was looking at the wrong date. Additionally, Wifi was bad, my towels were old and with holes, and the stairs are really narrow and dangerous. The good location of this hotel is not worth all these problems. Maybe during the rest of the year it can be acceptable, but do yourself a favour and don't even think about staying there during summer.

Was great but now is...

Liked: This is the 3rd or 4th time I book this hotel, and the location will forever be my favorite part! The housekeeping team also did a great job by cleaning our room every day and changing our towels.
Disliked: As I said, this is not the first time I come here, but it definitely was not at all like any of the other times… some of the problems we faced:-We booked a double room that ended up being smaller than what 2 people can fit in (we had to take turns opening our bags to be able to access our things from how small the space was)-Usually the staff is very kind and helpful. This time the person that was there during most of our stay was extremely rude, dismissive, and not truthful. When we asked for a bigger room if possible, his reply was we don’t have bigger rooms (which is not true based on the different sizes of the rooms that I myself saw while staying here multiple times). We even asked for a fan for our room due to the heat and were told that as a hotel they don’t have fans (which is also not true as the 2nd room we booked had one and I always saw a fan in the rooms that I stayed in before). And when we told him this, he suggested that maybe previous tenants left their fan in the room, which is beyond ridiculous.-My friend stepped on a piece of broken glass in her room the day we checked in.

Ok for one night in...

Liked: Location is excellent. Was clean
Disliked: Tiny room and bathroom - bed uncomfortable - no air conditioning - no lift

Pleasant stay

Liked: Very clean, perfect position to commute, really nice area with green areas, young people and close to restaurants area
Disliked: I would put a shelf in the bathroom to make it more practical

Bad

Disliked: Wardonia Hotel Kings Cross is without doubt one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in.The rooms were extremely small and uncomfortable — it was difficult to move around at all. They lacked even the most basic furnishings, such as a wardrobe or hangers, so I had no choice but to keep my clothes on the floor or in my suitcase. The bathroom didn’t have a single shelf for toiletries, nor was there anywhere to hang a towel. On top of that, the window couldn’t be properly opened (only a small vent was available), which made the room incredibly stuffy and hot.My room was also shockingly dirty — I couldn’t even bring myself to have a cup of tea in there.To make matters worse, whatever detergent was used on the bedding was of such poor quality that I developed an allergic reaction all over my body.All in all, I have very unpleasant memories of my stay at this hotel. It was by far the worst part of my trip to London.
