Conveniently located near public transit and some sites of interest, the hotel itself is somewhat difficult to locate in the warren of street near the station. The rooms, though not particularly small, were not well laid out or furnished; for example, there was no place to put open luggage, no towel racks, etc. Breakfast options were limited but adequate. Free WiFi Internet access was only available in one 30-minute block once every 24 hours (which is not the same as once per calendar day, as this restriction meant that if, for example, on the first day one accessed the WiFi Internet at 7:00 PM, one would only be able to access that free WiFi Internet after 7:00 PM the second day, and so on.

There just seemed to be queues in this hotel all the time, to check in, for breakfast. Which was not the most efficient service, although the food itself was pretty good.
Biggest bug bare, was my hubbys Guinness was in a Budweiser glass…
Very noisy during the night outside, could do with better soundproofing windows

This was my first time at a Travelodge and I'd gladly return. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and more spacious than I'd expected and the bed was very comfortable. My only minor complaint was that the water was scalding hot coming out of the bathroom tap at the sink. The room has a kettle, which was a nice touch. Overall it was a convenient place to stay and as an older solo traveler, it met all of my needs nicely.

The hotel room was dirty, the table had stains left on it as well as hair in a few places. The remote control was filthy , it was horrible to touch, the kettle was dusty and dirty.
The room was very hot and stuffy, we asked for fans and none were given to us although they said they would , no cold water available for drinking , the smell coming through from the window which was opened was not pleasant either.
We could not stay there so we left. We noticed other people leaving for similar problems.
Although we did not use the room at all and left after we tried to negotiate for fans they have refused to refund us the money paid.

Absolutely terrible experience, terrible place, unhelpful staff. Would not recommend this place at all.

Outstanding value!

Admittedly Wi-Fi quality or a luxurious stay were not amongst my priorities when choosing this hotel but to crash at a safe, clean and lower cost place in central London were. To these priorities the place delivers an outstanding value, more so than any other place I have ever stayed to in the area. Will definitely return!

It's about 10 min walk from Kings Cross station. Room was clean but small and basic. Breakfast was pretty nice, feel like in US. It took long to check in and there was a problem with my room key card. It won't open and I had to go down stairs and waited in line again to talk to the front desk. It was annoying.

Value for the price and short stay

The room was simple and small but clean, bed was comfortable and crisp clean sheets. Bathroom was tiny, too, ckean towels and overall room was clean. For a few hours stay it was fine. A bit of a walk from the public transportation, not a great street to go for a walk but felt safe. Continental breakfast, good choices but perhaps the service at the restaurant can improve. The set of silverware on mh table contained a dirty fork and people were in search of limited supply of silverware but stuff everywhere was friendly. The hotel is too big and some big crowds were noisy at night.

Disrespectful staff attitude

I booked the above hotel through hotel.com. I was extremely disappointed that Travelodge branded hotel will even have a hotel which does not have airconditioning in the weather that seriously need it. The description stated in hotel.com does not have much information at all. however, i made the decision to book Travelodge simply based on my impression to the brand hotels in Hong Kong. It was so unexpected that I have to accept to stay in the hotel which does not have an air conditioning.

At 3am, my friend would like to pass by and say hello to me after his bar work. He is my friend I knew at the time i was living in London, we did not see each other over 5 years time. I bought my friend in and would like to chat through a bottle of beer, he did not intend to stay. However, the staff shouted to us and said that he does not have a card and is not allowed to come in. I tried to explain that my room is a double room and he is not intend to stay long. He did not let me finish and said after xx o’clock no additional guest is allowed. Because I knew that I did not register two guest for the room in the first place, so I was trying to suggest if I can pay for the difference for 2 guests in the room. He rejected sharply and then turn around shouting to my friend "you cannot be here, stay out of the entrance”. I immediately told him to place attention to his attitude he turned the fingers and blamed me I beached the policy.

Air conditioner did not work, so we used the fan that was provided. The next 2 nights we opened the windows and it was bearable. The tub was an old-fashioned one with high sides, a little hard to step in and out for a shower. We had to put a towel down on the bottom of the tub so it wouldn't be so slippery. The breakfast was pretty good however and the hotel workers at the desk were helpful.

Comfortable hotel

The hotel was clean and the staff were extremely helpful. I arrived at around 7am and I was seeking to check in early and I was happy to pay the full rate. The staff advised me I could complete an early check in for only ten pounds if I waited until 12pm. I took them up on this offer and they even held my bags so I could explore the city.

I had no problems with the staff or the room and I would recommend this to anyone travelling on a budget. Super close to St Pancras too which was terrific.

Our experience was that the staff were welcoming. The hotel itself was very tired and there was construction on the elevators but the whole building was tired and not very clean. Hairdryers needed to be signed out at the front desk which was odd. The beds were old and uncomfortable and the bathrooms again tired. I fought the shower curtain the whole time. Good news lots of hot water.

Disappointing hotel

The hotel was disappointing. There was limited access to internet (only two devices allowed), there was no hot water one day, one room had broken power sockets so one could not use one's laptop in the room, and the service was very poor. I tried to call multiple times during the day twice to speak with reception and no one ever picked up.

Not enough facilities and room was not cleaned

If I get it right, there are 80+ room in one floor, at least the 3rd floor which I stayed, and 5~6 stories totally. However only 2 elevators available during my 3 nights' stay. So you could expect during the morning - breakfast / check-out time it was a nightmare trying to get into an elevator.
Plus there is not hair dryer in the room. You need to go to the front desk to ask for one. I don't know how many of them are available but unfortunately I never get one for those 3 nights. (Considering the amount of rooms...) So be warned, bring your own hair dryer if you plan to stay here!
The worst of all, one of the days they didn't clean up our room. I had to go downstairs again to the front desk getting our new towels, and tell the staff our room was not cleaned. Surprisingly she did not even show any apology at all! She merely gave us an EXCUSE saying the cleaning staff might forget or something. After that I said I'll put the garbage by the door, which means around the corridor. If you guys care about what other customs feel about the hotel, you might want to send someone to clean it up. Guess what? The garbage was still there until we check out the next morning. Only during check out, the lady, probably a manager, asking how our experience with the hotel was then said sorry and they would find out what went wrong and fix that.
Anyway, based on these issues above you could tell there are some problems within the system of the hotel. Not just the hardware is good or not.

review

- half the time there were repair works after midnight
- on several occasions I was woken up by drilling works at 4-5 a.m.
- when escalated to an employee, they said I should go to the reception about those issues, instead of reporting it themselves to the responsible person
- after the 7th day, the room cleanliness started to slowly degrade (11 total nights)
- the room doors are really noisy and I could hear a blast every time a neighbor went in/out at nights

A Stop Gap Only

We used this hotel on two occasions during our stay in London only as it was close to train stations for our out of town day trips. First room on the second floor was old and dirty, especially the carpets. Second room was on the fifth floor and had been updated to some degree and was cleaner. Beds were comfortable however. After a long and tiring journey from Canada, we arrived at the hotel at 2.15pm. As check in was not till 3pm they wanted to charge 10 pounds to check us in 45 minutes early as that was company policy. We refused and waited.

A comfortable stay!

There are a lot of things I like about this hotel. First of all, the bed! This hotel has the best bed and pillows. I usually find trouble sleeping in hotels due to their bed/pillows but with Travelodge, this wasn't a problem at all. The bed was so comfy that I would fall asleep as soon as I lied down. The four pillows were an extra bonus to my sleep. Then, I really need to give "thumbs up" to the breakfast selection. It had a very wide range of choices to accommodate different tastebuds, and most importantly it's unlimited.
The room was also very clean and the housekeeping team did a great job to ensure my stay was very comfortable every single day.
The only drawback I guess, was the distance from the station. It took a good 15-min to walk from the station and this is probably not a very convenient thing to do when you have some luggage to drag along.

Budget hotel close to Kings Cross Station

Hotel is old & dated. Check-in was ok but they didn't mention that there was no air conditioning in most rooms. Their reason was that if the room had windows that would open, then there is no air con. They did provide fans though, although not sure if this is enough in the hot summer months. There are no phones in the room so if you need to call the lobby, you have to go down to reception.

Just a 3 star

My opinion was somewhat distorted by the fact that the hotel would not let me store luggage for 3 days while we did a side trip to the western front due to health and safety rules. Had to find somewhere else to store bags. My booking was for 7 days total. Reception did what they had to do. Didn't apologise for room card not working, just reactivated it and handed it back. Rooms have been partially renewed but certainly not by professionals.

This travelodge is located about a 5 minute walk to Kings cross/st. Pancras train/underground stop so transportation is excellent. The facility is an older rehab and while clean, a bit crumbly.
No room phone, INTERNET is only free 30 mins a day...but you can get it 24 hours a day for an additional charge. This is my only real complaint. There's a free breakfast...hot and cold. They have a bar but don't ask for anything more complicated then a gin and tonic. Staff is courteous and responsive. I would stay here again.

Horrid morning front desk staff

The front desk staff were pretty stubbornly STOOPID and extremely difficult. There was a tear in the carpet which caused me to trip. I asked them to cut that part out and nobody listened to me. The hotel maids never removed any dirty drinking glasses. I asked them to remove it and they never removed it, and this went on for five days. You could not tell the front desk staff ANYTHING because they just looked at you like you're just trying to cause trouble. For some reason, I had the feeling that they were trying to protect the manager from things that I wanted him to know about: but they made a judgement call that it was not important.
The light was out in the bathroom and I asked them to replace it. Of course they never replaced it.
At breakfast, the orange juice glasses were terribly and the little coffe spoons were also dirty. Nobody was checking the quality of the dishwasher. If the board of health had walked in, I doubt that they would have passed an inspection.
When I was getting ready to leave, I asked to see the manager and the front desk told me he was busy. I had asked many times and they kept saying the same thing. He was sitting right behind me and I didn't know it; but when I saw him he was in a meeting and I told him I had been trying to tell him about seven different things and his staff was protecting him. I asked him to leave his meeting for a few minutes and come up and see what I was talking about. He was very glad I did. I do not recommend staying here.

Budget hotel near King´s Cross train station

The hotel equipment was rather simple and would use a refurbishment, especially the bathrooms. The room itself was quite big and the bed was comfortable. The wifi you get for free is only a 30mins long one time login per day. After the first day of our stay our access cards stopped working and apparently we were not the only clients with this problem.

Travellodge close to Kings Cross and amenities

This is something i am going to split down as the staff were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough to help us upon arrival and throughout our stay.
As for "EXPEDIA" - It is yourselves that i am Very UNHAPPY with as there was a problem when we arrived at the hotel and first off - i have emailed about this complaint to you on the 18th August - which is 3 weeks ago without even an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT! When we got to the venue, they confirmed that they hadn't received a "family/triple room" booking - just a "double" so at the point of arriving these rooms were naturally taken up. They offered another travellodge in a different location of London of which unfortuanately we couldn't take because we had an early departure from St Pancreas International the next day. They showed us the actual confirmation on their computer monitor so that we could see what had happened - and they also gave us "Complimentary breakfast" the next day. They really did go all out to meet our needs as best they could and we are MOST thankful for that.
