Hotels with Breakfast Near King's Cross St Pancras
Seven listed hotels around King's Cross St Pancras carry the breakfast label, several of them set in Georgian or Victorian townhouses. The Harrison Pub & Hotel, a gastropub with rooms, includes breakfast and scores 9 out of 10. The Gyle, in a Victorian townhouse on a leafy square, and the Mentone Hotel, a short walk from the British Library, follow with strong ratings. Crestfield Hotel, The California, Point A Hotel and Travelodge London Central Kings Cross complete the list. All seven sit within walking distance of the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras International and the mainline platforms of King's Cross.
South of the two stations, Bloomsbury's Georgian and Victorian terraces hold many small hotels around garden squares, with the British Library on Euston Road. North of the tracks, Granary Square, Coal Drops Yard and the Regent's Canal have turned the old goods yards into a district of shops, restaurants and public space.
Seven Breakfast Hotels Around the Stations
Breakfast at the hotel matters here because King's Cross St Pancras is a departure point: Eurostar check-in at St Pancras International closes well before the train leaves, and trains from King's Cross head north to York, Edinburgh and Leeds from early morning. Eating at the hotel before walking to the station saves the queue at the concourse cafés, and every hotel on this page is close enough that the walk takes only a few minutes.
The Harrison Pub & Hotel is my first pick on this page. It is a gastropub with simple rooms, a modern European menu and live music, and its listing includes breakfast, a restaurant and a bar on site. It scores 9 out of 10 from more than 1,200 reviews, the highest rating of the seven hotels listed, and it is a short walk from St Pancras International. The rooms are described as simple, so this is a choice for travelers who value the atmosphere downstairs and a good start to the morning more than a large room, and it suits an early Eurostar departure well.
The Gyle - Kings Cross St Pancras, London is the refined option, a 4-star hotel in a Victorian townhouse on a leafy square, with a cosy bar and breakfast included. It scores 8.6 out of 10, although from a smaller pool of about 330 reviews. It is pet-friendly, some rooms have kitchens and full-service laundry is available, which makes it practical for longer stays. The Mentone Hotel is the other townhouse I would consider: it includes breakfast, has a restaurant on site, is kid-friendly and stands a short walk from the British Library, with a score of 8.2 out of 10 from about 670 reviews.
Crestfield Hotel is the budget choice that holds up on ratings, with 8 out of 10 from more than 900 reviews. It offers simple rooms, a bar, a restaurant and a complimentary continental breakfast buffet, and it is described as suitable for families and travelers watching their spending. The California - Kings Cross St Pancras, London is set in a Georgian townhouse with modern, air-conditioned rooms, complimentary breakfast, a bar and a terrace, and scores 7.8. I would choose Crestfield for a straightforward budget stay and The California when a terrace and air conditioning matter for a summer trip.
Point A Hotel London, Kings Cross - St Pancras and Travelodge London Central Kings Cross are the larger, more standardised options. Point A has straightforward, smoke-free en suite rooms with air conditioning and breakfast included, and scores 7.8 from close to 3,300 reviews, the largest number here. Travelodge offers custom-designed beds, a breakfast buffet, a bar and a restaurant, is pet-friendly and caters to families, but its score of 7 out of 10 is the lowest of the seven. Both are practical when the smaller townhouses are full, and both are an easy walk from King's Cross and St Pancras.
A traveler's perspectiveIf I had a morning Eurostar from St Pancras International, I would book The Harrison Pub & Hotel, because breakfast is included and it has the best rating of the seven hotels on this page. For a quieter stay with a dog, I would choose The Gyle instead, for its pet-friendly rooms on a leafy square and its breakfast included.
