Travelodge London Kings Cross Royal Scot Hotel

The reception and bar/​café were nice and clean. The hallways need a paint job and reno. The room, though clean needs a good reno. The bathroom tap in room 216 was loose and didn’t work well. Room was hot in August, but a fan was provided which made it comfortable. Provided instant coffee and tea with a kettle was nice. Computer terminals in reception area are slow and unstable… the flight check in took 4 pounds and 45 minutes instead of being a 1 pound and 5 minute task. Book several months ahead for the very cheap but not refundable super saver rate. Wi-​Fi is free for the first 15 minutes or so.

Located within a 10 minute walk from King’s Cross St. Pancras this Travelodge isn’t too bad.
The lady on check in was really helpful; she was friendly and polite and smiling which made us feel incredibly welcome.
The room was Travelodge standard but clean and warm.
Despite being located on a busy London street it wasn’t overly noisy which is always a bonus for a good night’s sleep.
The reason I’ve deducted a star is because this particular branch needs some TLC.
I am guessing at some point this hotel was owned by a different company so maybe Travelodge will upgrade it over the next few years.
All in all? A decent room at a reasonable price.

Literally the worst travelodge in London.
Whilst the staff are completely average, the facilities are thoroughly substandard. Minus a bit.

This hotel is basic but comfortable and apart from a few trivial things everything was as it should have been. From previous experience I’d suggest breakfast in a nearby café is nicer and also cheaper.

Typical Travelodge, but the rooms were a little poky, I’m just glad we got a very reduced rate.
It gains a point for being very close to King’s Cross.

My sister and I stayed in this hotel recently. For what we had paid it was very reasonable.
Very nice, clean and tidy and reasonable. The breakfast is not included in the price however was worth paying a little more to have it as it was nice.

Un accueil déplorable, digne des hôtels les plus bas de gamme. Je n’ai pu demandé aucun service à la réception à moins d’être prêt à payer des surplus hors de prix.
La chambre, une Triple Room, était minuscule et vieillotte. La salle de bain n’était pas plus grande et l’hygièné était douteuse. Nos serviettes avaient une odeur de sueur.
Le lendemain j’ai demandé au réceptionniste d’appeler un taxi, ce qu’il a fait avec dédain. Ce taxi «privé» et commandé par l’hotel s’est perdu dans Londres (j’allais à côté d’Oxford Street !) et j’ai du descendre pour demander moi même le chemin pour l’indiquer ensuite au chauffeur.
A éviter, mais les travelodge sont en général d’un bon rapport qualité prix, j’espère donc que celui-​ci était le mauvais élève de la chaine…

Sad place, definitely not quiet, so much noises, the man at the desk will not be up to welcome you even in the middle of the morning, neither in the afternoon. not recommanded!

Travel lodge basically offers you what you pay for. Never stay in one of these rooms hoping for a luxury 5 star resort, they are clean, tidy, spacious, offer all the amenities you need, but that it is. They are cheap and ideal for stopping over when travelling, staying with a friend or after a night out. I have stayed in a few different travelodges now and Kinds Cross is one I used whenever I am in London seeing a few West End shows. It is easy to get to on bus or in taxi and is just the right distance away from the West End for it not to be hard to travel to but also for it to be slightly cheaper more often.
I do love travel lodge though and it is always my first port of call when I need a cheap place to stay when out and about. I have tried several in London and they are just clean, tidy and warm with a comfy bed to sleep in. 5 stars.

Stayed here for one night a couple of weeks ago, pleasantly surprised with the location and facilities made available to me. Had a room on the 3^rd floor, to which the view wasn’t exactlt stunning! The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The internal hotel bar was also pleasantly reasonable and the breakfast was delicious and to be recommended. The room itself was basic and included a a double bed, ensuite, tea making facilities, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, mini bar, tv, internet access. All in all i’d recommend staying here if ever staying in the capital and needing accommodation near Kings Cross the access to the tube network couldn’t be easier form this hotel.

I agree that this Travelodge is in an excellent location — so easy to get to with heavy suitcases! We’ve found great deals here too so it pays to check the main Travlodge website and book well ahead. Although breakfast isn’t included in the price there are any amount of places where you can go out to eat, or you can even take your own (as we do)!

Great location and an absolute bargain @£29 when booked in advance for a ‘saver’ room.
We met friends from the US in London & their 4−5* hotel room a couple of miles further out — behind Euston station was SO cramped & tiny — they paid at least 5 times more than us for this box! When they & we saw the room we’d been allocated here which was over twice the size of theirs they were astounded.
Clean, basic accommodation at a great rate — unbeatable, especially in London!

PLUS POINTS
Location — very handy if you’re staying in London the night before a trip to Paris on the Eurostar as it’s literally five minutes’ walk away from St. Pancras International.
Rooms — you know what you’re going to get with these «chain» hotels: a clean room that serves its purpose i. e a bed for the night. What more do you want for £70 a room in London?
MINUS POINTS
Breakfast — unlike other Travelodges, there’s no cooked breakfast at this one, so its cereal and croissants all round. The café/​bar area used for breakfast is also questionable as it is not a dedicated dining area — I’d hate to see how it copes with a morning rush as it is rather small…

The «Kings Cross Royal Scot» is a relatively big hotel, quite close to Kings Cross Station (not much more than a 5 minute walk, can even take the bus). Due to its size also bigger groups are their guests, but reception and service are always friendly and caring.
Rooms are big (compared to the */​** «standard» you can find at many little hotels), absolutely clean and in good condition. We booked a ‘saver’ offer, starting from £29 when booked approx. 4 weeks in advance. Even the «normal» price around £70 per room is worth the money, as you get a really pretty place to stay in.
