Crestfield Hotel

Start with location; directly across from Kings Cross. Just cross the street, turn left, walk to McDonald’s, turn right, look left & you can see the sign. Next to Methodist Church. Friendly & VERY helpful staff. Yes...room is tiny but amazingly efficient. Bath has best shower; set temperature, turn shower head to wall & then just turn water on each time for use. Basic soap for hair & body....if you need special shampoo bring your own. And as with all budget hotels if you use a washcloth...again, bring your own. Heated towel bar...great for washing your undies & towel will be dry the next day. Hairdryer is above desk. Best feature is the lighted under-bed space. You can use your suitcase like a drawer & just pull out as needed. The same FOUR hangers you always get...do they think you will steal them....ridiculous! Best reading lamp I’ve ever seen in a hotel...of any price. Window opens...a necessity in these small rooms but room also has a fan. Bed was firm & nice linens. Dreadful pillows...but at least LOW dreadful pillows.....the one problem I’ve found in all economy hotels. BF is better than most...individual French Press or a large one. Large pot for tea drinkers. All spaces very clean. Tiny espresso/drinks bar. Also, really nice outdoor patio. Underground walkway to Kings Cross just after you pass McDonald’s. VERY SAFE....silly me, I didn’t realize I needed to lock the door behind me...so door was unlocked for 3 days! Also, I asked for no room service as I can then just leave everything out. Somehow 3rd day it was cleaned...nothing disturbed or missing...just I was embarrassed! Also, they carried my suitcase up to room & brought down when I left...just ask! And I’m 78 yo & had no problem with stairs. You can get as much water as you want...you just trade your bottle for a new one....you can have 2 if you ask.

The staff members who served us for breakfast were nice and professional! Especially the lady whose hair is green (or blue) because she quickly responds questions asked by the hotel guests! Thank you very much!
