I came back at Princess Hotel after staying there last year and I am happy to report it was again a pleasant experience. The staff was absolutely friendly and helpful, even when we had a problem with one of our cameras, they did not hesitate to help us with their own computers and always seemed happy to be there.

We needed a place near the Eurostar Station for a quick visit to London. The Princess Hotel fit the bill. It was a short 2 block walk from the St. Pancras station and the Underground. The room was adequate but a bit tight. I shared the bathroom with my traveling companion. I does not have an elevator but my room... More

We are staying in the Princess hotel 24, 25, 26, 27, april, in a shared bathroom room, as we are on a budget, and only need it as a base. I have e-mailed the hotel a few times with questions, and so far they have been more than helpful and very prompt. Many Thanks Steve Cole
