Perfect Premier for Leisure trip to the city of london
Pros:

This is a really nice Premier Inn. Perfect location as a base to explore London - literally 5 mins walk from mainline King’s Cross and St Pancras stations. 10 minutes walk to Coaldrops yard - a must visit for lovely shops/cafes/restaurants and the wonderful Everyman Cinema generally a nice area, road is busy at rush hour but quiet overall in the night. Looks really nice as you walk in with lovely atrium and Costa coffee and bar +block restaurant attached. The staff were all lovely, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast as always was great. I would highly recommend this Premier Inn.

Would be great, were it not for the noise from the street in the middle of the night.
Pros:

Nice hotel in a very convenient location for Kings Cross station. Comfortable bed, powerful shower, and nice breakfast. There is just one problem, at least for guests with rooms overlooking York St (facing Kings Cross station), noise! Not traffic noise, but people, very loud people shouting at each other, a lot, in the middle of the night, frequently. Avoid unless you can sleep through anything.

Poor
Pros:

Great location, room was very badly ventilated we were all sweating, it had to windows to the outside just one to the foyer down stairs that didn’t open. The room smelt, the towels and bedsheets smelt. There was peeling paint in the bathroom. The floor was dirty and it sticks to your foot every time you walk on it. The room was difficult size wise with a pushchair. Though I know they have bigger room, for this reason we didn’t end up using the cot. The restaurant was friendly the food was sub standard, very sugary cocktails.

Black mould everywhere
Pros:

Do not book this hotel. It has a significant mould issue that can cause health issues. My daughter and I attempted to stay here only to become extremely unwell due to the black mould on the walls and curtains. We both had significant asthma attacks. Management admitted the hotel had a mould problem but didn’t feel it was an issue. We were moved to another room that was much smaller and not what I paid for. The air conditioning did not work. The sheets had blood on them in this room. In the morning we were offered a refund on our pre paid breakfast. We decided to check out and were told by the manager our travel agent would be refunded the balance of our stay. The Premier Inn has refused all refunds. The Manager lied. This hotel is not fit for habitation. Black mould is a bio hazard.

Very noisy rooms
Pros:

I would advise you not to stay here but book the Hub instead. I stayed Thursday and Friday nights last week. On Thursday I was woken up at 1am by a large group of very noisy guests in the hotel courtyard which my room overlooked. On Friday there was a huge amount of street noise from motorbikes at 3am.

A good experience overall
Pros:

We stayed for one night in the no frills double room while seeing a show in the West End. The hotel is within a very short walking distance from St Pancras and Kings Cross. It’s surrounded by many restaurants such as Five Guys, Nandos, Mac Donald’s and others. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel called Bar + Block and on the other side a Costa. We ate out the night we stayed over so didn’t eat a meal there but did have breakfast the following morning. The hotel looks good on entering with a large seating areas with sofas. There are self check in screens as well as a manned reception desk. Bags are kept in a back room if you can’t check in before 3pm. Our room was small but comfortable. You get a kettle and a coffee each with a tea each too and some sugar. I’ve never only had such little in any hotel. Would have been nice to have more but we were out anyway. The bed was very comfortable. Tv. Hairdryer. Bathroom looked nice and clean.

Negatives Only one towel given for 2 people so had to get another one. Shower head was covered in yellow/orange limescale and was very small. The water came out all over the place due to the limescale. Wasn’t expecting a fancy shower head but a clean one that wasn’t the size of half my palm would have been nice. The water got just past warm. Not hot which I’m used to at home and other hotels. Not sure what the issue was with that. Also would have liked a few more sachets of coffee, sugar & milk.

Overall a good stay and would stay again next time we’re in London. Would probably upgrade for a better shower head though.

The best
Pros:

I had an excellent stay at Premier Inn London King’s Cross. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet for such a central location. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit, and the hotel is just steps away from the station, which made getting around London incredibly easy. Highly recommended.

30 seconds from the train station
Pros:

I stayed at Premier Inn London King’s Cross during a recent business trip and couldn’t be more impressed. The check-in process through GoStar was incredibly smooth and efficient, making my arrival effortless.

The team were consistently friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my stay. My room was spotless, quiet, and comfortable — exactly what you need after a long day of meetings.

Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a short walk from King’s Cross and St Pancras stations, with great transport links and plenty of places to eat nearby.

Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommended for business travellers looking for reliability, comfort, and great service.

Pros:

The team was very friendly, nothing was too much for them, the hotel was clean, very good location, close to St Pancras Station. There is a Costa and a Steakhouse next door, which where both lovely. We will definitely return.

A Peaceful Night's Sleep
Pros:

This hotel is perfect if you're heading to the continent on Eurostar early in the morning as the hotel is just around the corner from St Pancras International. My room was the standard Premer Inn on the 2nd floor. Nothing spectacular but it was clean and it was quiet. I didn't have a chance to try out the restaurant unfortunately. The staff at the front desk were polite and friendly. All in all - a good experience.

Avoid.... noisy with the pub outside....
Pros:

Absolutely dreadful.

If you are on the first floor and want a good nights sleep - forget it.

An ordinary Thursday night, the street outside is lively next to the pub after 10, people shouting but worst of all around 1130 they start emptying the bottles in to the recycling bins that are parked on the pavement on the opposite of the road to your room.

Then the best bit. Around 6am the brewery truck with its flashing lights comes to collect all the empty kegs and drop off new kegs of alcohol.

Then at 7am, the council refuge truck collects the bottles and the crashing sounds recommence.

No issue with this but sound proof the rooms at least. We were in room 144.

For £215 - a joke - that's about £50 for every hours sleep I had - but the best bit is that whilst reception were sorry to hear about the issue, their goodnight price promise guarantee doesn't cover this disruption !

Basically no f**cks given by Premier Inn.

Avoid.
