Beautiful hotel, good breakfast, staff were amazing. Only reason I didnt give 5 stars is rooms were noisy from guests and squeaky floorboards but service wise faultless

Good hotel near the center and very accessible to the subway, the rooms are a bit noisy and you hear the subway (but thats expected because they are so close), good breakfast and very nice staff!

The location and breakfast were great. The hotel is generally clean.On the other side, they want you to write down all the information about your credit card on a paper form - card number, expiry date, even the CVV number (even though we had already paid for all nights in advance via Booking). When we refused to do that, the lady at the reception told us this is clearly stated in the hotel rules, but it is not - it only says that the guests must provide their credid card upon the arrival, but not to write down all the card information. Since we did not want to give our card info due to safety reasons, especially not the CVV number (which is suposed to be secret and used only for online payment), we offered money and our passports as a deposit for any possible damage in the room, but they did not accept it and wrote the card data in their computer. Weve stayed in many hotels and this was the first one that required it.

I’m a resident(not a nativehere, It was a solo 1 day London trip so I booked a single bedroom here. I enjoy staying here and I believe this hotel service is suitable for anyone who are planning to have a short day trip here.-Fab location:it really close to Russell Square station. Since I only spend 1night here so I need to find a nearest tube’s hotel which saved my time to go to my visiting spot n also train station back to my home as well. And this hotel just meet the standard. U also feel safe to walk there from the tube alone even back u back there late.-Great service:U maybe need to wait in queue at concierge a moment but it’s fine for me coz staffs who working here were professional and helpful even just 1 staff to kill the queue. When it was my turn, that lady just finished my check in process within 5mins, with Hospitable and thoughtful.I read most reviews here ppl mentioned their breakfast was great and I would say yes too. I was asked for wait when I went to dining room as it was peak time to visit. And I returned to guest room near the concierge. I was planning to wait more 10min if they still no vacancy for me to eat in, otherwise I will go out for alternative. Well I wasn’t expected the staff would come backwards to me and other guests and tell us the dinning room was ready again for new ppl in, coz I expected that we needed to check by our own. That’s considered.Food serving area was a help yourself style , looked smart and clean. For ppl who got hurry itinerary, u could get what you need and get full. Food was well cooked, fresh and hot. Personally I loved the mushroom!Okay to be fair it was contained downside but I believe it was a common problem in every b&b. The shower hydraulic wasn’t good when I took a shower, I mean you would feel the water flow from the shower nozzle was so weak. The size of the toilet was fair, but in my expectation as I watched the room photo from the internet before I visited.As a short day trip I didn’t put a high budget on accommodation. That’s a personal choice. If I put more budget on accommodation I won’t choose here and I trust they are so many options for ppl. However if I had another short trip again for me, I would put Mentone on my first priority list.

Stayed here as was on a course for work. Excellent hotel in a really good position. Room was small but it was a single! Breakfast was good and it’s really clean with pleasant staff. Would happily stay here on a leisure trip.

Clean, easy going, and comfortable. Our twin room was small but worked great for my 12-year-old son and me. The shower drained a bit slowly, but it was quiet at night and the breakfast was great! Would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel, very friendly staff. However, the rooms are not soundproofed at all - we heard the people above us all night long. Just them walking would be enough to wake me up. Pretty awful sleep because of it.

The hotel was not bad, not the best either. The best part was the breakfast, 10/10. The female receptionist in the morning gave us the worst first impression of the hotel. She was rude and unwelcoming. Later that evening, there was another male receptionist, who was very kind. (she needs to learn tips from this guy The room was not exactly clean, wifi did not reach our room (despite marketing of wifi to all areas), and dusty.

Great location if you want to be next to the city centre and the main train station. But apart from this there is absolutely nothing positive about the hotel.1Reception staff was unpleasant and not helpful at all.2Cleaning staff forgot to add a towel in the shower the next day.3Breakfast was not great. I ended up eating outside one day instead.4Very noisy, especially if your room is between the reception and the breakfast room.

The hotel has a great location. Several pubs and restaurants around and very close to bus stops, tube and railway station which is very beneficial.We have booked a room with two big beds and really enjoyed staying there! Beds are very comfortable and bedding is very clean.Breakfast is good as well. Buffet served meal is hot and tasty.Thanks for a great holiday!

2 nights, solo traveler, single roomPositives:- All staff I encountered had a pleasant, professional attitude- Excellent hot breakfast buffet (you wont find better included at this price point)- Furnishings/decor are modern and room was clean- Very conveniently located, close to many useful transport linksNegatives:- My single room was so small, it seemed much smaller than the example photo (there was barely enough space to put one small carry-on luggage). They should add some photos of more rooms to better show what you could end up with.- Upon check-in at 3pm, I had issues with no hot water and a non-working ceiling light (apparently due to a leak from the above floor). I let the shower run for several minutes, still no hot water. After 45 min of back and forth with the receptionist and waiting, the manager came, turned on the shower and sink faucet full blast and instructed to leave it running. The water finally got hot after 5+ minutes. The explanation was that during low usage hours, it takes a long time for the boiler to heat the water from cold. To me this is an unreasonable inconvenience (and extremely wastefulfor a supposed 3-star hotel in a world-class city. Also, if the manager knows this, why doesnt the rest of staff also know so that they are prepared to inform the guests? This was quite frustrating as I had arrived after a long day of travel and was keen to freshen up and get on with my days plans.- Currently luggage storage is just an open area by the reception desk accessible by anyone in the hotel. There were renovations in the works for a new reception area, so perhaps this will improve soon.- Wi-fi was spotty/slow- Bath towel was small and roughThe positives were good enough that I would stay here again, but not in a single room. Overall it is a decent budget hotel that could easily be excellent if they just improved a few basics.

Nice hotel lovely and clean. Is quiet central King Cross railway and tube station only ten minutes away. Breakfast was good. Would certainly go back staff friendly and helpful. Very well priced for the area. The only comment I would make could do with a bar.

We found this little hidden gem of a hotel by coincidence. I booked a hotel close to Euston & close to the theatre as we were traveling by train to make it easier for carting luggage around etc.The location is very central, a few minutes was from Euston.However, more important than that the hotel is family ran & you can tell the owners and staff care so much about their hotel and have high standards.The rooms were SPOTLESS, modern & very roomy. The beds were the comfiest Ive slept in in a long time & the added bonus of a mattress topper nearly had me missing check out!!On check in, the receptionist was so polite & chatty offering suggestions on which theatre productions she enjoyed (Frozen). Throughout the stay the breakfast staff where so kind & the owner on check out couldnt do enough for us. I have been vegetarian for 20 years & hate being the awkward one to ask for veggie sausages but the staff were so smiling & said "no problem" and my breakfast came the same time as everyone elses too. We asked if we could leave the luggage for a few hours & his wasnt an issue at all!We have found our new go to hotel in London & have already recommended it to a lot of our friends & family!!Take care Team Mentone- see you in a few months!!

Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, staff were friendly and helpful. Substantial breakfast was an added bonus and set us up for the day. Good quiet location but close enough for train stations and underground. Ive always been reluctant to go to London as our previous experience of affordable accommodation has been poor. Now we have found this little gem we will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Beautiful location, nice front room, pretty Christmas decorations....but.....The woman at the front desk was rude, impatient and begrudgingly helpful. Only one towel in each room, even though we were booked for two adults. No heat in the rooms. If the staff had been happy to help, it wouldnt have been a big deal, but they werent. 😬 There were many stairs to drag our luggage up and no numbers on most of the rooms, so we had to guess and keep climbing up and down to find our rooms.The next morning the breakfast was cold, not welcoming and we were rushed out.I wouldnt stay there again... It could be such a perfect hotel with a change of perspective on hospitality.

A really well run London hotel.Easy access from Euston ,Kings Cross and St Pancras railway stations.Simon (the owner )is a real genuine gentleman.His staff are a sublimation to the hotel business.Breakfast is As good as it gets IMO ,from warm pain de chocolate, croissants, plenty of cereals and a never ending supply of the good old English stuffs .Easy access to bus services and Russel Square tubestation.Gyms,shopping centres, great pubs and 15 min walk to the heart of Covent Garden.London zoo and numerous canal walks within 15 mins of its center.Campden Town and Chalk farm are an easy walk or 2/3 stops on the tubeRooms are all a good size and design .Water always hot and room service takes president.Low noise from external as its position is adjacent 8 tennis courts .Good cotton linen and quality pillows make sure youre rested and ready for your next day .All in all its hard to place a fault on the Mentone Hotel .Thanks Graeme Scott

The single rooms are 2x2 meters. Really cramped. The shower in the room 27 was a huge design fail unless you are not taller than 1.5 m. Other then that its fine

Good basic place to stay close to Kings Cross, a little on the small side, cleanliness is good and we were greeted by a very friendly lady on reception, however there are a few issues that need attention, our room was on the top floor, there are no lifts and access to our room was by a small staircase which wasnt easy to use, if we were pensions this would have been a big issue, this should be mentioned on the booking, the door closing dampers were no good so a lot of banging doors, an easy fix, we only had one plug socket in the whole room where the kettle was which isnt great, the breakfast although quite good was a bit of a shambles, the first morning we thought wed wait for after the initial rush but when we sat down there was a constant wait for food items, the second morning we went in first but unfortunately we were waiting again for items to come out, we had practically finished before the sausages arrived, this is a timing issue in the kitchen and could easily be sorted as the dining room isnt that big, with these issues addressed we would stay there again and give it 4 stars.

A very competitively priced offering close to many of Londons attractions. The staff were helpful, the breakfast buffet was satisfying and the room was serviced daily. The bedroom was small as was the ensuite but it was functional. I will stay here again and I would recommend it to other visitors who want to avoid extortionate rates in other hotels.

The room including the small bathroom was very clean. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and staff pleasant. The location was a real surprise - a delightful crescent of - I would think- Georgian town houses. Don’t know what more anyone could expect from an inexpensive hotel. Recommended!

Lovely leafy location, nice and quite, but with a local vibrant community, with bars, cafes and pubs. Rooms are perfect and clean and airy. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was hot and fresh and good quality, and plenty of it. An absolute gem of a hotel, we are now planning a return. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Really nice hotel. Room was clean and ready way before check-in time. Room was on top of the building and it was super hot during heatwave. Not that large as pictures on the web but double bed rooms looks as on the web. Busy building site behind hotel. In fairness, it was a little bit annoying. Simple cooked breakfast, nothing special but fairly good food in comparison to other hotels in similar price range. Dining area would be too small for busy days. Overall definitively recommend. Localisation also great. Super connections with rest of the London day and night time.

I had an enjoyable stay in the Mentone Hotel during the holidays. Accessible by walk to Russell Square station and quiet area with not much noise. However, neighbours had 2 small children and where quite noisy. Also, on checkout the lady was inconsiderate towards me. She didnt ask how my stay was, any problems etc. She just took my key and said bye. Could improve customer service. Overall, I had a nice stay.

Really nice and helpful staff. The single room I was in was super tiny, but decent (occasionally some problems with noise from the other rooms. They have to work on insulation...). Nice cooked breakfast. Great location if you want to be near the British Library - and anyway near Russel Square, so conveniently central.

The hotel is located in a very good location, nice and quiet and still close to everything.The staff is very helpful and extremely nice.The rooms were clean and the amenities were very nice.The only bad thing that I can think of is that the hotel doesnt have lift.. it didnt matter to us though :)All and all, very good experience, definitely recommend booking there your stay in London!

Booked for business, didnt notice the 2 Star rating til after. Photos showed the biggest and best family rooms, travelling alone my room was adequate but nowhere near spacious. Spread over 5 floors if you are up in the gods make sure you prepare for the ascension of what felt like 500 stairs. No iron in room, lack of plug sockets and had to prop the window open with a bottle of coke as the mechanism was broken. On the plus, bed was comfy and breakfast was nice although only served until 9am which I guess is a ploy to get you up and out well before the 11am checkout. Also means come 8:30am everyone descends on the small dining room and you are asked to share tables for space.

Good location with great staff.The hotel is situated close to Kings cross station so very close to anything.The breakfast is great with lots of different things to choose from.Unfortunately, our room was up on the third floor with no lift making quite an unpleasant experience to bring the suitcases. Given the very narrow stairs, it was even more difficult.The room itself has a nice view to a quiet place with 2 tennis courts that you can use if you wish.The down side of it is that the noise insulation is quite bad giving you some noise during the night.All in all it is not a bad hotel but I think I would have chosen another one for my 2 days stay in London.

since its a two star hotel, we shouldnt complain. What is really odd is that hotel management doesnt care. Breakfast room in the basement and dismal choice of food is certainly something that could be improved easily. Staff barely looks at you when you talk to them, even if you dont complain, just ask some question. Ive seen lots of reviews here which point to other, more serious, problems. I remember the shower somehow built-in the room, so that you stepped directly from the shower into the living space. Plus side: bed was comfortable, TV set worked, and the room had nice view on rear garden. But no value for money. And there are literally dozen such hotels in vicinity, so if I came other time, i would try my luck somewhere else, nearby.

Enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Very comfortable room with a tidy bathroom theyre very basic with the toiletries and the use of plastic cups not glass. The bed was massive and very comfy though we were on the ground floor and I could hear upstairs moving quite a lot with squeaky floorboards and this is made worse by the fact that there is a tube line just below the hotel that can be heard when it is very quiet in the room and this runs until around 11:30 and starts up at 5:30 in the morning. I needed to use the iron and ironing board whilst I was there and there wasnt one in the room but they did provide one to me it was a very dirty ironing board though sufficient
