Pleasantly surprised by the hotel -- good location, clean, great staff, nice coffee tray with shortbread cookies in the room. Good buffet breakfast. Convenient to the tube, to restaurants, to the train. This was booked as the start of our tour with Cosmos and I expected less. Great views from the hallway next to the elevators.

The hotel room we stayed in faced away from Euston Rd and was quiet. The room was reasonably spacious and was modern and clean. The bathroom featured modern decor with the standard shower over bath. The hotel is located a 5 minute walk from King's Cross station and a 10 minute walk from Euston station/bus interchange. Buses stop directly across Euston Rd for a direct journey to attractions such as Oxford St. Just across the road there are a number of fast food joints and a block or two away there are grocery shops and convenience stores. The British Library is right next door.
The concierge at the front desk was helpful with suggesting attractions and tours in and around London. The staff on the whole were quite polite in that typically English standoffish way. I never used the hotel's restaurant or other facilities, apart from the internet facilities on the ground floor, which were available for a reasonable(by hotel standards) pay as you go fee. Overall, pretty good value and fairly handy location.

I stayed in this hotel for one night on business. What impressed me about it was the modern styling and the generous sizing of the rooms - there is an entrance area with a desk and TV and wardrobe, then a good ensuite bathroom, then a nice sized sleeping area - with another TV.
The aircon works well and the room was spotlessly clean and well equipped with internet access, an iron and a trouser press and tea/coffee making facilities. The minibar was not that well stocked. For a week day rate of ?155 (only ?15 more than the Travel Inn across the road when I was booking) it seemed good value for the space.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the public areas clean and modern. The only slight criticism is I thought the breakfast (I had room service) was a bit overpriced for what was provided. I had the continental at ?15 and whilst each component was of good quality, the portions were a little on the small side. Just about enough for me but maybe wouldn't be enough for someone with a large appetite!
The other massive plus is the location if you are coming into London to King's Cross, Euston or St Pancras - its an easy walk to all three, even with a wheely case. There are also a couple of places to eat nearby too - Pizza Express just across the road.
All in all, a really good option.

The Novotel St Pancras (which used to be referred to as the Novotel Euston) is very convenient for people taking trains. The rooms are large for London standards, in good shape and ell decorated. The bed was pretty comfortable, too. The one major lacking feature was an alarm clock - I asked at the desk and he said they did not have them, they use wake up calls. It is located between St Pancras and Euston stations, and just down the street from Kings Cross. The area is not the best in London, but anyone familiar with a US city won't find it bad at all. Wired internet access is available, but it is steep.
The biggest problem with it is that being so close to the train stations, prices are a bit steep. but this may be outweighed by the convenience factor.
