Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 577 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. People frequently complain about the poor overall service, describing lengthy delays, chaotic train stations, and completely unreachable customer support lines that automatically cut off. Consumers also mention exorbitant ticket prices that simply do not match the heavily troubled and disorganized journeys they endure regularly. However, some customers also noted that specific staff members went remarkably above and beyond to provide genuinely helpful assistance and resolve complicated queries quickly. A few other people also felt that the onboard environment had positive moments, finding certain agents to be friendly and professional during their trip.

I tried to cancel a trip, but I was unable to do so online. The contact form I was invited to fill in, resulted in an automated email, which did not deal with the issue. I called numerous times, havin... See more

Avoid using- the service is absolute rubbish. The train was late getting in to Brussels by 13 minutes and departing from Brussels it was yet another delay of 30 minutes. Brussels Midi station is a mes... See more

Very good customer service

The customer service lady, Gemma who helped me book the Eurostar tickets was very helpful and patient.
Eventually when the call got disconnected, she called me back to complete the booking or it would have been a hassle to go over everything all over again with another person.

Never on time

Never on time, one train delayed means all trains are delayed, I've travelled with this nonsense of a company many times and can't remember one time when the train left on time.
Disappointed is an understatement.
Pretending to be high-end but not delivering on any promise.
If someone want to contact me and explain how is it that delayed train from 8:01 leaving finally at 9:30 makes my train at 9:01 delayed (diffrent deatinations as well) ,please do.

No AC - no problem

One car has no working AC for a couple of days now, instead of finding other solutions or at least notifying customers upfront, Eurostar prefers to let you find out yourself when boarding a train with a good 40 degrees of heat inside and no other seats to move to. Elderly passenger, child, pregnant - it seems there is little consideration how gentle that would be on your health. The train staff is very friendly and I feel sorry they have to try and fix their companies policies with free water.

Uncaring and unprofessional grabbing…

Uncaring and unprofessional grabbing attitude.

It makes no sense to review Eurostar : they are monopolists and behave accordingly: arrogant and uncaring.
I have ordered months ago: a premier class window seat at a table in direction of travel.

Just before departure Eurostar (without giving reason sent a sms that my seat was changed)
I landed on a seat opposite of travel direction, no windows and no table. When protesting I was regarded as annoying nuisance.

The rubber-like cold pain de chocolate was cold (spent the night probably in fridge)
Just appalling and disgusting. To serve such a cold old pain de chocolate especially in Paris is extra ironic.

Eurostar simply don’t care about anything what customers thinks or feels. They know we have no other choice as to use them

Outdated, no decent air-conditioning, dirty, broken

To pay full and overly expensive prise and go by old outdated, in some places broken Thalys train, yes it is old Thalys with Eurosign sign on it, where in tropic temperature you can forget about decent coolness, is beyond a joke. But this is what Eurostar does,charge a lot for as minimum as possible.

Just do not get fooled is they send you an email, don't worry we have you covered with this weather, it is not the case and you will suffer.

Comfort is not something you will experience either, train is dirty, not maintained and space is not something they find important, as long as they can squueze as many people paying ridiculous price.

Flying is better

Flying is better.

Traveled London to Amsterdam twice this year. The return to London was cancelled on 1 trip and delayed on the other. At least when you take off with a plane you’re on your way. The Eurostar you still have to pray nothing happens on your journey that can create delays or cancellation. Really it’s not worth it.

To anyone thinking to take a Eurostar…

To anyone thinking to take a Eurostar train… don’t do it, I would rather die then to take another trip with Eurostar ever again (not lying). Basically to sum it all up; the checking-in, security and boarding are horrible crowded experiences, the train is not even in the slightest comfort, the pace the train goes is at the speed of a snail and the space is dogshit.

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service. If you have a choice, get a plane instead of using the Eurostar which is built on scummy business tactics. Got allocated a time that we asked for and booked another train based on what we requested. They’ve think shifted us to a cheaper time to save themselves money 2 weeks before. The original train is still available but they said it would be £224 to chance back to our time. The app shows the original time we booked was cheaper but they’re trying to squeeze us for more. Scumbags!

Poor luggage handling in Saint Pancras

Service was very poor. We travelled from Paris to London Saint Pancras with 2 bikes and side bags. You are not allowed to take it as carry on. The security in Gare du nord is a joke and they almost confiscated my tools to repair the bikes. Arriving in Saint Pancras, You have to carry bike and bags in 1 round and you are not allowed to assemble it in the collection point. If like us, you have some luggage with your bike don’t do it. . Too expensive and poor service. My advice rent a bike in the uk or travel by boat.

St Pancras departure lounge awful. WiFi woeful.

St Pancras departure lounge has far too few seats, and just a single water fountain (which was out of order) - convenient when your tenants are selling expensive bottled water. Also the three tunnels (London, Kent and Chunnel) have zero WiFi or mobile signal (contrast with Japan and Switzerland). WiFi is generally rubbish.

Monopoly is not good for customer

I am a frequent traveller with Eurostar, black card,
The situation is getting worse
Absurd prices
frequent delay
19th century wifi
but he worse is that the staff has now the pleasure to say no, and it's new. For a couple of weeks now they make sure to add frustration to the travel. They have probably received instructions.
Anyway, hopefully the incoming competition will push them to focus on client satisfaction.

Travel multiple times a year

Travel multiple times a year, I always select save Advanced Passenger Information for me and my family on my Eurostar account but it makes me complete it every single time. Such a waste of time.

Used to be a big fan, but their customer service ruined it.

I used to be a big fan of Eurostar, but their terrible customer service has ruined them for me.

My most recent experience:
Tried to amend a booking (cancel outbound journey, but keep the return journey active, because if I don't formally cancel it, they will cancel the complete journey for the reason that I didn't show up to the outbound leg), after which the online system told me to call customer service.

After 13 tries over 3 working days, the automated voice message kept telling me that they are too busy and to call back later.

Tried to submit a complaint/help request via their online contact form, only to receive an automated response to manage my booking in the online system or to submit a new request via their contact form.

Guess what? The contact form doesn't "recognise" my ticket number... So the loop is closed and there is no way for me to contact them...

I don't expect anyone from Eurostar to read this, but if you do: my ticket numbers are 12461774 and 12461980

This company robs travellers without…

This company robs travellers without blinking. Their online ordering system does not inform you that England now requires an “ETA” electronic travel authorisation, which Eurostar does not communicate to you until surprise surprise, happy Birthday, not only am I not going to let you board the train, I am charging you to change your ticket and you get to wait for the next train, at the train station… while boarding you get the news, no ETA? Let me charge you €60 each ticket to reassign you to a later train?! I am not sure why “star” is in the name of this train company. Look at its poor ratings. The lady did not even appologize and showed no empathy while requesting €60 each ticket, €120 more on top of €250 each train ticket. No more train for me, we are flying now.

Outstanding Support During a Stressful Booking and refund Issue

After a very stressful booking and refund situation with Eurostar, I was very fortunate to speak with Lauren from the UK customer service team. She was kind, patient, professional, and truly caring. She helped me with the refund process and enabled me to make a new booking in time to return home. Most importantly, she helped me through my stress and calmed me down. Thank you again, Lauren, for your excellent customer service.
