Arrived at the Arriva for a 3 night stay this week. Upon first impression, our room was clean and tidy, kept to a good standard, although maybe a little small. The staff were friendly but after asking on our second day for extra pillows we were told there were none and that house keeping would put some in for us for our final night, no such thing happened. The breakfast was very basic, and not in a good way! There was a small choice of poor quality items available. The hotel's only redeeming quality is the location, but all in all, it wasn't a horrifying place to stay in the least, and (for the most part) suited our needs during our stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Arriva Hotel. First, it is only a 10-minute walk from King's Cross/St. Pancras International Tube/Train Station, as well as the transit hub for several city bus lines. This part of central London is inner city, but I felt safe at all times. The Arriva was minutes on foot from great English food as well as ethnic food and small stores to buy food to consume in my room, as well as a Post Office and money exchange establishments. There is no guest laundry (nor did I locate a laundromat nearby) but there is a nearby dry cleaner that also provides laundry service. The breakfast buffet, which included ham, cheese, yogurt, juices, and other items, was included in my room contract and served on linen in the basement with the morning news on television, making the most of a modest offering. The staff was friendly, and there is a coin-operated public internet terminal in the lobby. The room and bath were very small, but clean, and I enjoyed fresh air from a large window. I had a double room that I would find too cramped for two persons. It was a quiet hotel with respectful guests, and I recommend it for the money and its location, but not if you require ample space. The property has an elevator but does not appear otherwise wheelchair accessible.

Just stayed at this hotel. Despite previous reviews, we didn't find anything major to complain about. You get what you pay for and if you just need somewhere to crash after a night out in London, this place is ok.
Our room was at the front and yes, it is a busy road and can be quite noisy. Solution.....shut the windows. We did and the noise was cut down by about 95%.
Lady on reception was very cheerful and also very helpful.
Can't comment on the breakfast as we never made it down :)
One thing though, you pay on arrival. Pay with your debit card if you can as there is a 3.5% charge if you pay with a credit card.
