We've tried a few hotels around King's Cross and this is not one we will be going back to. Room very small, very small bathroom. Bed very hard - I had to ask for a spare duvet to sleep on. Staff were nice but basically not worth it.

Unfortunately was allocated an accessible room so the bathroom wasn’t great. Bedroom comfortable if a little small. They tend to lock the doors late so booking in if you’re arriving late does require a bit of window knocking to attract the attention of staff. Generally a comfortable stay but I’d have expected a little more considering the price

The hotel is incredibly convenient located to two major overground stations and the underground network.
It’s a very positive as a whole.
The only drawback is the doors throughout the hotel are extremely heavy. They bang throughout the night as people travel through corridors and enter rooms. This is sleep disrupting for light sleepers

Lovely room on the top floor of the hotel with a great view of the clock tower at St Pancras station. Characterful, excellent and spacious both in room and bathroom with a lovely large shower….pressure wasn’t powerful but adequate for someone with long hair☺️ Bed was very comfy with lovely squishy pillows. Staff were friendly and helpful. My husband and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again even if we weren’t travelling on Eurostar the next day……which is literally just across the road. One of the best hotels we’ve stayed in in London☺️

I paid for my stay (£415 for one night) *in advance* but at 2:15am during the night of my stay my banking app woke me with an alert to say the hotel had charged me £306.50. I barely slept until 6:45am when I went to question it at reception. I was told that the hotel ran an audit process during the night and that had somehow triggered the charge. I was assured that it would be cancelled. Then, at around 11:30am I got another alert on my banking app telling me they had taken a further £356.50. I was on a course at the British Library and had to leave at lunchtime (when I wanted to be speaking to the other delegates) to go back to the hotel to alert them to the fact I now had over SEVEN HUNDRED pounds pending on my back account (including the initial card deposit of £50). I felt that the staff offered no sympathy or contrition. It's now 11:40am on the following day and I still have over £700 pending in my bank account. I'm really worried because I can't afford that to leave my account.
It completely ruined my stay and impacted on my ability to enjoy and concentrate during the course I was attending.

Magnificent, iconic hotel. Room small, but elegant and functional. Great bars. Restaurant was lovely with good quality food, if nothing flash. Restaurant was reasonably priced. Hotel itself expensive, but you’re paying for the location - couldn’t be better for Eurostar - and history.

i was traveling to Paris after the short stay there, the staff helped to store my luggage there for few days before I back from Paris, it really helped as it is just cross the road from St Pancras station.

We only had one night in London before catching the train to Rotterdam and The Great Northern was a wonderful hotel in the perfect location. The room was spacious, comfortable, and quiet. Our only complaint was the bath/shower - you stand in a tub with no curtain or door and use a handheld. It’s looks very chic, but not practical. The Coal Yard, which is a short walk, is a trendy new area with great shops and restaurants.

There was no tea making facility in the bedroom.i had to walk to the antry area.Meant I could not enjoy morning tea in bed as I had to get dressed. Provide a small kettle and tea bags along with the coffee maker, or make the coffee drinkers walk to the pantry.Even cheap hotels have tea making facilities.Pillows were too soft.

My second visit in a short space of time, and this was definitely the better of the two. While the rooms are generally pretty small they're clean and comfortable and it doesn't take long for this hotel to start to feel like an old friend.
The soap dispensers remain maddening though.

Check in - fantastic. Lovely service. Delightful manners - couldn’t have been better.
Breakfast - is great. Perhaps a little slow today - but again the staff are so well trained - it’s an attentive experience.
If you’re going up the east coast on the train - and need a hotel straight off the train. This is the one. Yes, a bit pricey - but for us it’s perfectly located.

Front door was difficult to find, but once inside the staff was great. There is just a small sign near the door and we missed it.

Room was tiny with the slant of room making it almost impossible to move around without knocking yourself out.

Great location, comfy beds, great staff. We strangely were given a disabled room so our shower had no door so water got everywhere in the bathroom. That was a little strange. And there were several emergency cords in every room you had to be careful to avoid. But being at King’s cross it was super convenient and I would stay there again.

I enjoyed staying in the hotel. It is actually right next store to the domestic train station, so it was super convenient. And in front of the hotel and train station is a major area, where people sit and pass through. I most enjoyed just watching Londoners. London is so diverse. Impressive!

The rooms are on the small side (not unusual for big city hotels), but the room was lovely. It's a very short walk to Coal Drop Yards (with all the restaurants and shopping) and being next to a transport hub (St. Pancras/King's Cross) means that you can get almost anywhere quickly via Tube or trains of various sorts.
Every staff member we interacted with was lovely -- helpful, courteous and charming.
This was a wonderful (and wonderfully convenient) place to stay!

Great hotel if arriving at Kings Cross for a concert in Camden and a 1 night stay. Room was small but fancy. TV didn’t work as a TV which was annoying but did connect to Bluetooth device for some playlist tunes. English breakfast was tremendous in a posh restaurant setting. Apart from TV fault only thing can mark down is terrible Muzak in the bar and restaurant!
