Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Kaya Great Northern Hotel, London from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Kaya Great Northern Hotel's location is a major highlight, situated conveniently close to Kings Cross and St Pancras International train stations, making it ideal for Eurostar travelers and those needing easy access to transportation. Many guests appreciate the nicely decorated rooms and some enjoyed the spaciousness and views, especially from the upper floors overlooking St Pancras station's clock tower; a few guests, however, found some rooms rather small. The hotel's architecture, purpose-built in the 1850s, offers wide corridors, and certain rooms even feature windows that open, plus convenient outlets including USB ports.

Excellent Stay Near King's Cross!

early arrival convenient service

The hotel's location, practically inside King's Cross, made catching our train easy. The staff kindly stored our bags upon our early arrival, a very convenient service. I appreciated the quietness of our high-floor room. It was very cozy. The window provided a fine view that I enjoyed with morning espresso.

The housekeeper entered our room unexpectedly in the evening when I was unavailable to answer the door. This incident was quite odd, especially after the delay in getting our room ready upon arrival.

The room was well-equipped and cozy. It included a Nespresso machine for morning coffee. Our room on a high floor was quiet, a feature I particularly valued. The comfortable bed helped to ensure a restful night's sleep.

The location near King's Cross Station is AMAZING!!! Plenty of shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance. Accessing other parts of the city was very easy, with the tube station just steps away. I found the central location convenient.

Acceptable Location, Disappointing Room

small room uncomfortable bed

The location is great with easy access to transportation.

The room was quite small and cramped I found it unbearably hot the bed was really uncomfortable. I did not sleep well. It felt expensive for such a tiny space.

i was disappointed with some aspects. the in-room coffee machine was out of service (i needed my morning coffee!). the television was also quite small, it was hard to see from the bed. it was like the tech wasn't quite up to par with the rest of the hotel's offerings. i expected better for the price.
