Travelodge London Kings Cross, London

...a room in this cheapie Travelodge for a too-good-to-be-true £35, turning our mini break into a bargain of a weekend. I hadn't stayed in any London Travelodges before, but the city is crawling with them, and my first tip is to make a note of both the name and address of where you are staying. Walking from Euston this is the second one you'll come to (the other is directly next to the station) but we were coming in the other direction from a brief ...
...but none of the usual Travelodge bedspreads / throws. I actually preferred this: I hate dubious, shiny throws of the kind you get in American motels as I always wonder how frequently they change them. However it did seem unusual to be sitting straight on your quilt in a hotel, though with no other soft seating on offer there was little choice. There were no bedside tables, but we did have bedside lights and bedside controls for the main light, which ...

Review of Travelodge London Kings Cross, London

...Surprisingly the actual Kings Cross Travelodge didn't look as dated on the outside as I thought the picture on the site made it out to be, in fact it looked dated in a modern way.. if that makes sense. And you know how us youth like the modern. Finding it was a lot more difficult than I expected though, in fact I was hoping to just step off the train and see it from the platform. Well, maybe I wasn't expecting to be that lucky. Asking for directions ...
...had my stint working on Travelodge reception a couple of years back). Infact, part of me wanted to question where the smile was, but I do not feel it was treatment just happening to me as I noticed the happy conversation wasn't exactly flowing during the check-in infront of me. I guess some people might not like having a dragged out check-in, but I think it's more polite than anything to not look so stern. When I used to work for Travelodge card ...

Review of Travelodge London Kings Cross, London

...of £9 I secured a Travelodge offer and booked one night at the Kings Cross Royal Scot Travelodge. Now I have stayed in most of the London lodges and have had mixed feelings so I was approaching this stay with an open mind. The lodge is conveniently situated a few minutes walk form Kings Cross Station, and all you do to get there is to walk up Pentonville Road and turn right into Kings Cross Road where the lodge is on the left hand side. It really ...
...the entrance I was aware of many groups with luggage in parties, but a special group bookings desk was efficiently handling these, as many were Italian and certainly a lot to organise. We sauntered up and were quickly given our keys to room 112 on the first floor. Access to the lifts beyond the foyer is by key card so security is excellent here, and we were soon in our room and were impressed. Number 112 may not be typical of all the rooms as it ...

...room at the Kings Cross Travelodge as apposed to stay in the Royal Scot which was absolutely awful. CHECK-IN Checking in was very good. We arrived at the hotel at around 11.15 and asked if we could check in early. Early check in was not supposed to start until 12, however the reception staff checked to see if a room was available. It turned out there was a room that was ready for us, we were charged £10 for checking in early. We were already aware ...
...able to make out the Travelodge sign on it, however i'm not sure. I could make it out, but then I know my eye sight is generally good. If you can't see it then you should turn left and there are several turns you can take at the same point. You just need to take the third from the left. Walk down that road and you'll see it in no time. PRICE The room cost us only £29 for the night, for 3 of us. At less that £10 each it was well worth it and I was ...

Review of Travelodge London Kings Cross, London

Having stayed in many a hotel in London and many other large cities, I would rate this Hotel as the poorest I have visited. The Hotel could be vastly improved with a fairly small cash injection and probably better management! Upon arrival at the hotel, the first impressions are a less than welcoming entrance in what can only be described as a run down area of London. The Windows were dirty and pavement littered with last nights meals from drunken ...
...time! General rubbish was noticeable too, which is unusual for such a usually clean capital city. We arrived at about 5pm (Check-in from 4pm) to be greeted with a queue of around 20-30 guests which wrapped around the reception are and into the bar. This would have been fine as we appreciate that it was always going to be busy at that time on a Bank Holiday Friday. However the disappointment was to find that although there is clearly counter space ...

Review of Travelodge London Kings Cross, London

I stayed at this Travelodge for a weekend with my parents. It was Dad's birthday so we all met up in London so he could look around the museums, galleries etc. I chose this hotel as their train came in at King's Cross and it seemed an easy location for them to be able to travel around the city from. We stayed form the 22nd until the 25th of February 2008. I must admit I read a couple of reviews after I had booked it so I was a bit nervous and had ...
...in to some hell hole! However, when I arrived any fears I had were proved unfounded. The Lobby and bar area all looked as if they had only recently been done and everything looked clean and new. The staff at reception were friendly as I checked in and when I got to my room it was clean and a good size. The website did warn that due to the location some rooms may have traffic noise but mine was overlooking the car park so it was quiet. I met my parents ...

...my mum has sent to Travelodge following the stay. This is not written by myself however is based on the experience of my family and myself. I hope you enjoy reading... My two teenage boys and myself arrived at the Royal Scot at approximately 10.45am on Friday 28 December 2007, hoping to drop off the one case we had in order to proceed to the West End and the show we had booked for the afternoon. Upon arrival, we noticed that, above the entrance ...
...using the lifts in the Travelodge due to their poor state of repair and very poor lighting. As a result, my boys and I had to sleep with a mixture of coats and towels underneath our pillows to aid our breathing through the night. In addition, I attempted to fold my one pillow in half, but was constantly woken through the night as it continually unfolded itself. Soon after falling asleep, I was abruptly awoken by what I consider to have been a young ...

Review of Travelodge London Kings Cross, London

As with hotels in this chain you are able to get some really good rates. We recently stayed there for £26!! This is unbeatable value especially for 3 adults. THe hotel is about 5-10 mins walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras and is not difficult to find. The rooms are quite large in comparison to other hotels in the chain we have stayed at including a lot of storage space. The room was clean and tidy with a wet room/ bathroom which was also clean. The ...
...supposed to be served from 7-10 am. WE arrived at around 9.30, what was left was cold and some of it there wasn't enough to have a portion, they did start to clear away at 9.55 so we had to eat up quick to get decent value. Other than that the stay was good and cheaper than more centrally located hotels ...
