Pullman London St Pancras With Fabulous Rooms At A Perfect Location, King’s Cross – London, United Kingdom

My recent trip to London over a weekend brought me to stay in Pullman London St Pancras. This trip was extremely short since I could only experience a night at this Accor Group of Hotel. 

 

The reason for the pick was I will arrive and leave via EuroStar as I needed to be back at Lille to continue with my business trip. Hence, it made lots of sense to stay near St Pancras station. Among the handful of choices, Pullman London St Pancras stands out as it fits my budget in addition to the location.

Surroundings

 

Pullman London St Pancras is a stone throw from St Pancras station, home of Eurostar, and 2 other train station, King’s Cross and Euston. In addition, it is close to metro station King’s Cross with a total of 6 metro lines, namely, Circle, Piccadilly, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Victoria and Northern. The best part about this Metro station is that there is ramp and escalator which ease the hassle of lugging luggages. Many metro stations are served by flights of stairs which is extremely unfriendly for visitors with suitcases therefore such a design at King’s Cross is helpful.

 

It is next to the British Library and surrounded by a handful of places of interest such as The Regent Park, British Museum, Covent Garden and SOHO.

Check-in And Check-Out

 

Only a handful of check-in and out desks are available. Luckily at both my checking in and out, there were not a long queue.

Since it is London, English isn’t a barrier. The service crew will try to up sell instead of automatic upgrade the room. I was offered an upgrade to the next room grade at £50. It didn’t seems a lot at first, however on hindsight, I didn’t think it was worthwhile.

 

 

Room

 

After the upgrade, I got a Superior Room with a King size Bed. My original booking was for a Classic Room with a King Size bed via Prestigia.com at £147.27, checking in on 20 January 2018 and out on 21 January 2018.

 

I got a room at level 11. At the lift landing area, a full glass panel allowing guests to admire the beautiful architecture of the British Library.

What I really appreciate was the internet phone offered by the hotel for guests to bring along when they are in London. This is really convenient for guests. I could make calls and also Google on-the-go without activating my own overseas data roaming.

NAHMJ Verdict
