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.”

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.’”

Very good

The beds are very comfortable and the hotel is situated right next to St Pancras, so it is great as a stop over before catching the Eurostar.

The bar gets very busy, so it can be difficult to find a table on occasion. The breakfast service can be slow, although breakfasts are delicious.

Lovely hotel in great location for the train station exceptionally clean room and hotel . Would definitely stay again.

Great location exceptionally quiet given the close location to the train station and busy road/area Access security very reassuring. staff on reception very pleasant and helpful . The room was great . Very clean . Comfortable bed . Nice to have a dressing gown provided . The hairdryer was faulty but this was quickly rectified by staff with no issue .

There were no tea making facilities in the room which I personally would have preferred as needed to go down the corridor to the residents kitchen which I would not want to do late at night as a single traveller . The kitchen was very well stocked and had some lovely snacks .. There was a coffee maker in the room but personally my preference is for tea .

Excellent would book again in a heartbeat

Location and staff were great on arrival and departure to help with our bags. Very appreciative We had dinner in the dining room the first night. Food was terrific and service exceptional

The only issue we had was the two nights booked were not successfully linked and we were charged an additional night by mistake. This was obviously rectified but took several days for charge to be refunded
