The Kaya Great Northern Hotel enjoys a superb location right next to King's Cross and St Pancras stations, making it ideal for travel, and it's surrounded by various dining options, with Granary Square a short walk away. Guests consistently praise the beautifully decorated rooms, some offering pleasant views, such as the St Pancras clock tower.

Excellent location and quiet rooms

excellent locationquiet roomhelpful stafflate evening entry
The location is excellent and very convenient for transportation. I appreciated the quietness of my room on a high floor. The hotel provided easy access to King's Cross for my train to Edinburgh. Staff stored my bags and gave useful recommendations.
The housekeeper entered my room unexpectedly. This occurred in the late evening while I was in the bathroom, quite unsettling.

Fantastic Stay Near King's Cross!

perfect locationhallway pantrygreat feature
The location is perfect! I arrived and departed by train. It's so close to the train station and underground. I used the pantry at the end of the hallway. It's a great feature with tea, coffee, fruit, and cakes.
The power points were in awkward spots. It was hard to charge devices.

The room felt quite small, I must say. Space around the bed was limited. I also found the temperature control to be off. It was hard to get the room to a comfortable level. The reception staff wasn't particularly helpful. I didn't feel my concerns were adequately addressed!
