I enjoyed my stay at the Great Northern Hotel, especially due to its strategic location just steps away from King's Cross, making travel easy. However, the rooms were quite small and not as clean as I expected, which was disappointing given the hotel's price point. While the bed was comfortable, I found the limited room service options to be a drawback, and the front desk staff could have been friendlier.

I didn’t try the on-site restaurant as the menu seemed pricey and unappealing to me. Instead, I opted to explore nearby dining options, which were plentiful.

The facilities were adequate, but I felt the lack of conveniences like tea-making facilities in the room and USB ports that didn’t work were definite misses for this hotel.

I had a great experience at the Great Northern Hotel. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from St. Pancras, making travel super convenient. While the room I initially received was on the smaller side, the attentive staff quickly upgraded me.

My stay at the Great Northern Hotel was pleasant overall, marked by its really good location next to St. Pancras and King's Cross. The comforting bed and inviting breakfast at Plum and Spilt Milk stood out, yet the room layout was a bit awkward with the bathroom design. The pantry with complimentary snacks was a nice touch, although the lack of in-room tea facilities felt like a miss for a five-star hotel.

6.0/10

My stay at the Great Northern Hotel had its ups and downs. While the location near King's Cross was super convenient for getting around, the room felt cramped and definitely did not live up to the price tag. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which was a plus, but the service during meals left a bit to be desired. Overall, I'd say there are better options for the money in the area.

Rooms

5.0

I found the room to be quite small and dark, which made it a bit claustrophobic. The lighting didn’t help either, as it was designed for a 'romantic ambiance'. Also, the wardrobe space was minimal, and accessing the Nespresso machine was a hassle. The bathroom was tiny too, and it lacked proper space for toiletries.

Service

5.0

While the reception staff were generally helpful and friendly, I experienced a few service hiccups. At dinner, I had to chase for my coffee several times, and the miscommunication about my restaurant reservation was frustrating. It seemed like the staff were too busy to provide the level of service expected at this price point.

Location

The hotel's location was fantastic, right next to King's Cross and St Pancras stations. This made traveling around London super easy, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area. Overall, the convenience was a major highlight of my stay.

Dining

Dining at the hotel was a mixed bag. The food was quite nice and fresh, but the prices felt steep compared to other options nearby. I also had a reservation mix-up, which didn’t help the overall experience.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities like the pantry with complimentary snacks were a nice touch, but I was disappointed by the lack of business amenities, which made it tough when I needed to print documents. Also, the air conditioning didn’t do much during my stay, leaving me a bit hot at night.
