Highly recommend this hotel.

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☺️

The reception staff were unfriendly and inexperienced, no manager on duty to resolve an issue with the room provided. Requested an upgrade and 2 separate staff gave complete different costs. The room given was effectively a single room and not acceptable as a double.

Charged Three Times for One Night Stay

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.

The Great Northern is Great

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.

Crash Pad - for the theatre

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.
