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.

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!
