Feedback about Kaya Great Northern Hotel, London from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Kaya Great Northern Hotel's location is a major draw, with direct access to St Pancras Station for the Eurostar and immediate proximity to Kings Cross. Guests appreciate the convenience of the metro, bus, and taxi services right outside, as well as the easy walk to nearby attractions; some rooms offer views of the Kings Cross roof. The rooms are well-equipped, often including a Nespresso machine, and a pantry on the floor provides coffee, tea, and snacks; while some found their rooms small. Many guests also enjoy the breakfast in the Rails restaurant, considering it reasonably priced for the quality.

a reasonable stay overall

early check in huge tub room downgrade persuading staff
the hotel stood just across from kings cross station. i had a early check in. after traveling for twelve hours, this was very welcome. the tub was also huge.
when i got there the staff tried to downgrade my room reservation from a large king-victorian room to a small room. after insisting they fix it, i got the correct room, but i had to persuade them so it was not a good start.

the location is amazing because it has transport links. the staff was fantastic too, always ready to assist. my room was quiet despite the busy street nearby. i would book again for those features.

Convenient and Comfortable Stay

close proximity helpful staff smooth check-in
The hotel is very close to St Pancras station. The staff stored my luggage for a few days while I traveled to Paris. This helped since the hotel is across from the station. Check-in was smooth and the employee was very helpful and cheerful.
The room was a bit small.
