Eurostar Reviews
Newest Review: ... heading off. No checks or admin to go through. Overall I will have no hesitation whatsoever in travelling with Eurostar if I am going back to Paris, rather than booking a flight. Door-to-door (bearing in mind we had to travel 1.5 hours to get to London) I believe that it still worked out quicker than flying. Obviously if you live closer to London then it would beat it time-wise hands down. For comfort and lower stress levels, travelling by Eurostar also wins easily. The price was (as ever!) the decisive factor in this particular decision, but having now travelled with Eurostar I would happily pay a higher price for the ease, comfort and co... more

Booking We needed to get to Paris for my partner to run the Paris Half Marathon so we looked at various options, with cost being the main criteria. I had seen Eurostar's £69 offer advertised but expected, like airlines, that going to try and find them would be either a challenge, or impossible. I was wrong, there were numerous £69 returns available on our dates (going Friday, coming back Monday) which were almost 3 months ahead. The cheaper ones were early or late times, but this suited us, wanting to get there as early as possible and make the most of the fourth day too. Consequently, this worked out significantly cheaper, and a better choice of times than ... Read the complete review

I recently booked a trip by Eurostar from London to Brussels, as I was looking for a fast but reasonably priced option. Flying was out of the question as getting to the airport just added up travel time and travel costs. EUROSTAR.COM WEBSITE I booked through Eurostar.com website, which was fairly easy. Often they do special £69 return fares but these sell out very fast, and as such I was unable to book one (2 months in advance). I browsed a lot of different dates and fares, and found that to travel mid afternoon cost a lot more, but morning and early afternoon trains were cheaper. I opted for an early afternoon train for my outward ... Read the complete review

I had naively thought that the Eurostar would be a dream. France and England getting together to build a super train. I rode 2nd class from Paris to England and back. The air conditioning was minimal in most of the cars. The air quality was passable but really unpleasant. In the bathrooms, they were out of soap and more often than not the thing that blows hot air on your hands to dry them was broken. You had to use toilet paper or dry your hands on your clothes. If you attempt to sleep, you will be disappointed. You will be continuously awakened by announcements over the loudspeakers telling you of the latest things ... Read the complete review

If you plan on getting the flu this winter I strongly suggest you buy one of their cheap return ticket (£300+) otherwise you'll lose it. They rather have you contaminate other travellers than being flexible...

Being interested in visiting both Brussels and Paris, a journey on Eurostar seemed to be a probability, especially as I have always enjoyed travelling by train. As I live on the south coast, the prospect of getting to St Pancras station was less attractive than the original departure point at Waterloo. That wasn't enough to stop me going, of course. In the end I travelled to London by coach, arriving at Victoria, so a journey on the underground was inevitable. The trip to Brussels was planned for a weekend early in January 2010, as a generous combined Christmas and birthday present from one of my sons. He had made a visit there by Eurostar about eighteen ... Read the complete review
