Great value for St.Pancras Eurostar trips!
An early start for the Eurostar was the reason for booking a hotel. The House of Toby was rated highly as being within 350m of St.Pancras station. The welcome on reception was warm and friendly and our room was sensibly proportioned and the shower facilities were first class. The bed was comfortable if a little small. The toilet systern needed attention as it leaked until given a gentle tap. Overall we slept well as the road in which the hotel.sits is nice and quiet. When we left our reception person wished us a pleasant day and he was cheerful and polite. Well worth the price!

The girl on reception was very welcoming. I was very tired after a day of travel so grateful for a room on the ground floor so I didnt have to carry my heavy suitcase up stairs. However my room was quite noisy as I heard every guest coming in and going upstairs at all hours of the night. You hear a lot of traffic noise as the ground floor room was literally next to the pavement, although I couldnt see as the room had no window - it had been blocked up for some reason. My window was also right by a traffic light so cars would stop at the light & Id hear their music playing and then the engine revving up on green. The main negative was a strange bad drain smell in the bathroom,, but I was too tired to complain or try and get a different room. The room was small but perfect for 1 person just needing a room for the night. It was immaculately clean but th3 pullows were pretty flat and not comfy. There is a bar and room service but I didnt use either. I'm not sure I'd stay there again. Not recommended for light sleepers!

This hotel is perfect if you just need somewhere to rest your head. Rooms are pretty small but didnt bother as was arriving late and leaving early. The room door was a bit stiff so you had to push firmer to close, making a bang. Felt it would disturb other guests. Staff were very friendly and welcoming

A very good choice - despite small rooms
I had booked another hotel but seeing it consistently got 2/10 in reviews, decided I'd better look for something else. And remembered House of Toby. I've stayed here before and was happy to return. My room on the lower ground floor was, well, compact (bathroom had a sliding door - no space for a normal door!) but it had everything needed for a pleasant stay. The bed was very comfortable. Fixtures and fittings were of good quality. The guy who checked me in kindly carried my luggage down to my room and the guy who checked me out (I remember him from a previous stay) was charming, polite and cheerful. Most importantly, the room rate was, for this area of London and for this quality of room, surprisingly low. I did find the dark grey/black decor a bit oppressive in a small room but that's really a pretty minor quibble. House of Toby - definitely recommended.

Would not stay here again. The staff are great but the property is dirty, tired and the walls are extremely thin. Was woken up constantly by traffic and people in the corridor (and I am really not a light sleeper). But the worst bit was their FIRE ALARM. It went off at midnight and again at 7.30am. Both times were accidental…it was just awful.

Fine for a night
Stayed here for 1 night before getting the Eurostar. Room was OK, small but fine for one night. Dust everywhere, I don’t think it had been cleaned properly for weeks. We stayed in the Lower Floor, it rained heavily in the night and I was awoken at 3am to a loud noise of running water outside and a smell of sewage. I think the gutter was broken and drain had overflowed. On a plus note, bathroom was lovely.
