"Comfortable stay despite post-Covid restrictions"

I stayed here for a long week-end in July after Scottish travelling restrictions were lifted, as I was desperate to see my sister who'd been alone during the whole of lockdown. On entering, it was clear that the hotel was taking the distancing and hygiene guidelines very seriously. There was hand sanitiser just in the doorway, one-way routing arrows on the floor, and all of the lobby furniture was cordoned off with "Not in use" notices on each armchair, and prominent notices that the restaurant was closed. I had phoned ahead to request a room with a bathtub, as I can't stand up in a shower, but this hadn't been assigned, and re-requesting caused a delay at reception. However, the staff at reception were friendly and helpful. I was disappointed that, when I went up to the room, it was, in fact, shower only. So back down I went (no phone in the room) and there was more delay. However, a member of staff went up personally to check if the next room had a bath, which was helpful. Luckily, checking in was the only (well-handled) problem at this hotel. The room was very clean and quiet. It was a bit warm and stuffy, but the air conditioning worked fine. The room had a well-positioned hairdryer and a really handy illuminated mirror for putting on makeup - better than mine at home! Wifi was okay and free. The bathroom was also very clean; the water was instantly hot, despite the room being on the fourth floor. They had warned me on checking in that there would be no housekeeping during my stay, but that I could ask at reception for fresh towels, teabags, etc, and someone would deliver to my room. This sounds uncomfortable, but in fact it worked very well. When housekeeping brought my teabags, it was a generous paper bagful. The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from King's Cross/St Pancras, and only a short bus ride or straightforward walk from Euston station. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, as well as excellent bus links. As breakfast wasn't available at the hotel, I ate at the friendly Cafe Platka nearby, nothing fancy, just tasty fry ups, cheerfully and speedily served. I can recommend it. Overall, my stay at this Premier Inn wasn't bad at all despite no food or housekeeping, mainly because the staff were friendly, the room comfortable and relatively well-equipped, everything clean and the new post-Covid arrangements well-thought through. I would recommend for its excellent location.

"Outstanding"

Staying in a hotel during the covid crisis is a good way to test its management. I have stayed in this particular hotel on many occasions, and can confirm it can only be recommended. I have read recent reviews of customers suggesting the staff was rude. News to me. Everyone here is lovely, and always happy to help with a smile. The hotel is located next to King's Cross station and St Pancras International. Perfect for international travellers who wish to avoid the hassle of dragging luggage from the station to their hotel. The rooms are very pleasant and a "clean protect" protocol has been implemented. Breakfast boxes available at reception as the restaurant was not open during my stay. Well done folks, I'll be back.

"Long stay as NHS worker"

Just ended a marathon 97 night stay at Premier Inn to ensure I was located close to my work base.Service overall in the circumstances was fine,room was pleasant and serviced regularly.Free pizzas on Wednesday evenings were a nice gesture to staff staying there during the pandemic.

"Key workers and we were treated like dirt."

Booked due to working as a nurse in London, and sister is in the same family bubble, but we live at different addresses (UK and Belgium). Reception staff were rude and acted like they were doing us a big favour by letting us share a room and wanted us to show that we were related and if we shared the same surname. Insisted we were sent an email to say that we’d been told we needed letters from our employers, even though my sister had this and her work ID, and I had my work ID. Finally get to the room which is tired, lacking pillows, lacking towels, no phone to phone reception, we get an extra pillow each, and more quibbling about towels, again like they’re doing us a big favour. Glasses were dirty, small fly in the room, tiny amount of supplies. I won’t ever stay at a premier inn again, Travel lodge at the royal Scot is much better, even if it is old and tired, at least the staff aren’t horrible and rude. I’ve never felt so unwelcome in all of my life. For someone who worked through covid, I hope you never have to go through anything like this, and if you do, I hope you get treated with the dignity and respect that you deserve, you give London a bad name, stay elsewhere, the walk to the Royal Scot is much better than the rude staff here.

Hotel description Set in the cultural heart of the capital and just minutes away from St Pancras International, our Premier Inn London Kings Cross hotel is ideal if you're looking for hotels in central London. You'll have great transport links on your doorstep at Kings Cross Station - plus, Harry Potter fans can visit the famous Platform 9 3/4. With its historic exhibitions and exciting events, the British library is one of the most popular attractions in Kings Cross. Alternatively, you can relax by the fountains at Granary Square, chill out beside Regent's Canal, and explore the bars and restaurants nearby for a taste of local culture. Back at the hotel you can look forward to a tasty meal in our Bar+Block restaurant, before relaxing on a super-comfy Hypnos bed and watching the latest shows on your Smart TV.
