Great Northern Hotel, London

Pancras Rd, Kings Cross, London N1C 4TB, United Kingdom (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“With an air of history and quick access to the Underground, this stylish hotel provides a great base for exploring London. The theme of rail travel is present in the hotel’s stylish décor: ‘Do not disturb’ signs bear antique illustrations of railway signals, and ‘Couchette’ rooms, with built-in beds, take their design cues from sleeper cars.”

Telegraph review:

“The slick regeneration of King’s Cross is encapsulated in the beautifully refurbished Great Northern Hotel. Juxtaposed between the clean lines of the station’s contemporary architecture and the grande dame grandeur of the Renaissance Hotel, the Grade II-listed building serves to fuse the two with understated elegance.”

Comfortable but expensive with adequate provisions.

Close to train station

No tea facilities in the room. Fine for coffee. Thought room facilities poor. Informed at checkout facilities for tea in a pantry on floor we were on. Not told at check in. However feel should have both in room.

Exceptional

Location is superb, located between St.Pancras and Kings Cross stations makes it ideally placed. Bit of a hidden gem✴️ A special mention to all the staff, the ones we encountered were all nice and smart and very polite. We had breakfast and again can't fault, the English breakfast was very good and freshly cooked. Our bedroom was nice and clean, our bed very comfortable. We did however have a problem trying to get our coffee machine to work, but no real issue as our room was next to the shared "Pantry" which had tea, coffee making facilities together with a small selection of snacks and pastries.

Nothing to not like.

Not perfect… but still a great prospect!

Being disabled and unable to walk very far, it was fantastic to be able to get to the hotel from Kings Cross so easily. A taxi rank just outside made it super easy to get around London. The room was lovely, very comfortable, clean and well presented.

The wet room floor was too slippery when wet. Had to put towels down to walk on. The dead-lock on the door didn’t work. And whilst the bed-side angle poise lamps look good, the length of the limbs and restricted space made it very difficult for them to be of any practical use to move/reposition.

Great location, friendly staff and very quiet

Great location right next to the station. Room was very quiet which was impressive given how central and busy the location is. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.

Room could do with a shower as it just had a bathtub. Room temperature was quite warm.

Such a nice hotel, great location for us, room was comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the small bar and had a superb breakfast in the restaurant. All the staff we dealt with were very polite, and helpful. Can’t wait to return.

Small reception, which was a little cramped during checkout.

Christmas trip to London

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean. Nicely decorated rooms

Minor things but I found the pillows too soft and the key reader to gain entry after 10pm was hidden behind a Christmas decoration which caused us to have to walk all around the outside of the building and eventually ask a security guard to help us get in.

A great place to stay and I would recommend but it is such a shame about the uncomfortable bed.

Great location. It has everything you need. Toiletries were great, I didn’t need to bring all my own. Robes were a great touch. Everything was clean. Nice view out the window. The room was a good size. The pantry down the hall was great.

The bed was too hard and uncomfortable.

I would recommend the hotel without hesitation.

We had one of the smaller rooms and it was stylish, clean and well thought out with guest comfort in mind. The staff were all extremely helpful and pleasant. The room service came quickly and the menu was comprehensive. It was perfect for our early train to Paris as we just had to cross the road from the Eurostar Terminal.

Amazing Convenient Stay

So close to the station for the Eurostar. Lovely comfortable bed and clean room. Atmosphere was cosy and the lounge and bar were really lovely and decorated well. Friendly staff to top it all off!

Only downside was the Rails restaurant had been booked out for a private event and we weren’t informed and had been planning to eat there. Ended up eating at the new Hawksmoor round the corner which was an exceptional meal.

“Staying in a historic hotel on cold, dark London days made us feel like we were in a time machine.”

“The location was excellent. Having the metro, bus, and taxi right in front of the hotel made it very easy to get around the city. With a pleasant 25-minute walk, we could also reach some wonderful parks. We had breakfast included, and it was quite good — a great way to start the day with enough energy. The hotel is also very suitable for families with a baby. We were very satisfied with our stay.”

“Overall, we were satisfied with our stay and didn’t experience any notable issues. Everything met our expectations. The sound insulation was especially good — we couldn’t even tell it was raining outside. Apart from a few minor details, nothing was bothersome, so there isn’t really anything we can say we ‘didn’t like.’”

Booked a last minute room due to travel delays, had no choice really after train was cancelled. Location obviously great for Kings Cross station.

A bit pricey but LNER were covering the cost, so not really a factor for me. Not sure I'd have spent my own money on the price of this room.
