Travelodge London Kings Cross

This hotel stunts with prices as for 19 pounds per night. Extra'10 pounds for early check in (12.00!) and late checkout (12.00 again). Breakfast is below standard, no toast because of fire regulations!!!!!

No shampoo in the room only 1 tiny soapbar. We payed 90 pounds per night and had to buy ouw own shampoo. Staff very unhelpful and unfriendly.

The Travelodge chain in the US is simple but you have a good deal with them.

Travelodge England will never have the joy of seeing us again

Located about 10 minutes walk from Euston station to the West in an unpleasant location where you would not want to walk along the street on your own at night.

The rooms were booked by a course provider for our party so we had no choice in the matter. When we checked in there was only one quiet room left so the rest of the party were told 'Its says on the web site, you accept this at the time you book'

Reception was not clean and was shabby with roller shutters to protect the staff. You are issued a key card upon check in that you need to pass through all the doors and to use the lift to protect residents from the undesirable element in the locale. Reception is closed at night.

My room had a window that opened inwards as it opened over the Kings Cross tube/Thameslink lines. Mugs were dirty, no complimentary shampoo, no air con and heaters took a long time to get warm. No hair dryer or iron/ironing board.

I went back to reception to 'borrow' a hairdryer to be told both (2 hairdryers for rooms) had been loaned out. Waited 20 minutes for a hairdryer to be found from lost property for me.

Railway was noisy until 1am with trains, then maintenance until 5am at which point the trains started again. Due to the budget nature there were lots of guests who were not in the hotel for the same purpose as we were (sleep!) and running in the corridors until 2am, then what sounded like jumping on and off beds until 3:20am. No reception to complain to during these hours.

If this had been a cheap deal it wouldnt have been so bad but at over £90 per person it was only a few pounds off the price of far superior hotels in nicer locations.

I was unable to find a hotel in our price bracket in the Kings Cross area that had consistently good reviews on Trip Advisor and so was apprehensive about our stay at Travelodge. However, other than not having our room ready for early check-in (which we had previously arranged and paid for), I have no complaints. The staff were somewhat unwelcoming, although not actually impolite. They rectified the problem with early check-in fairly quickly and efficiently. The room was fine and the location pretty good.
