St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London
Expert reviews
“St. Pancras Renaissance first opened as the Midland Grand Hotel in 1873, it reopened in 2011 after a comprehensive renovation. Now it’s one of the grandest hotels in London. The double-height Chambers Suites offer mesmerizing views right into the station.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in King’s Cross, London.
“The St. Pancras Renaissance is easily one of London’s most recognizable hotels. The massive Gothic red brick façade with signature soaring spires was originally opened in 1873 as the Midland Grand Hotel, and was built alongside the St. Pancras train station.”

Overall we enjoyed our stay, location was very convenient.
We liked the location and the architecture of the building . Staff were very helpful and polite. Lovely coffee on arrival.
Our room was very warm and we couldn’t alter the temperature setting. Breakfast was rather disappointing. Eggs on my cooked breakfast were undercooked and inedible as was the bacon.

Excellent venue, facilities, quality of food.
Lovely large room for central London and very comfortable. Breakfast lots of choice and excellent quality of food available. Delicious. Location was perfect for where I needed to go.
I wish I had more time there. It was a very short visit. I found it VERY expensive - but then I'm from Somerset and not used to London prices.

Ideal for access to Eurostar, good spa, friendly staff, spacious room

very good
The ambience of the public rooms is first class. The position near to Eurostar is excellent. I stayed two nights, one before my journey to Paris and one on my return. I thought it was very impersonal and I was not impressed by the breakfast staff on the Sunday morning. This does not mean I wont stay again - the position is terrific and in general it is an excellent place to stay.

Very good
The public areas were extraordinary. The deluxe twin room was reasonable in size by London standards, very clean and nothing special. What made the stay special was the dining room, bar area and the staff. The restoration of St Pancras is sublime and a feast on the eyes. The staff were unpretentious, charming and professional. I’d go back in a flash.

Very good
Convenience for travel and the excellent service
We were allocated a room with a wet room bathroom for guests with restricted mobility. This was not requested and was disappointing. This was disappointing when compared with other rooms we have had at this excellent hotel. Being fully able, we found the fittings were at an awkward height and the flooring did become slippery. Also, we had to ask for teaspoons and breakfast tea bags. Which was rather surprising given the standard of housekeeping we have come to expect on previous stays. It showed a lack of attention to detail. We, however, definitely will be staying at the Renaissance again

Stunning building, beautiful fittings and lighting

Great stay, great staff, great service
The check in and welcome glass of prosecco, the helpful staff, the meal in the french restaurant was outstanding, the night manager/porter was great too making check out effortless as we left early to catch the eurostar
It was very noisy all night with the sound of the tube trains and cars and emergency vehicles outside. No double glazing as its a listed building I presume, but could benefit from secondary double glazing added which would be acceptable.

Nice hotel nice location would rebook if wasnt nearly 400 per night with brekkie
Room lovely. Staff on concierge helpful. Evening drinks in the booking office we were shown a table for 2 round the side which we requested to be moved toatable for 2 with the nicer more comfortable chairs, but were told they were for diners till 10pm even though it was 9.45pm and theree were several tables empty
Quite expensive for 1 night with breakfast
