“As basic as it gets!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

We only needed a room for one night and that was enough! The room was very basic. It was clean, but the grouting in the bathroom needed some attention. The bathroom was tiny and the shower head had a life of it's own spraying the whole of the bathroom!! We paid for breakfast which was warm. I wouldn't recommend this Travelodge.

“a hostel, there were naked people in the room I was given!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

full of students, running around in the corridors all night so that no one could sleep & no phones in the room to call reception. took 15 mins to pull our cases there from the train station. i went to the room i was given and as i opened the door a naked man dived onto the bed and shouted, i screamed, someone disappeared behind the door. i went back to reception to ask for a different room as there were already naked people it that one. got a slightly better room on the first floor but we could ony get to it by stairs so more lugging of suitcases. bar area very much a cafeteria but pizza was ok.

“worst travelodge!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Stayed here for one night in december and we were extremely disappointed.
The staff were helpful when we checked in, however it then went downhill! We went to our room and there was a disgusting smell on the whole of the 5th floor, when we reached the room the walls were covered in mould, it smelt of damp and it was absolutely freezing (The radiator on the wall wouldn't work!). Luckily we were only staying here for one night and were not planning on spending a lot of time in the room.
However, it was so cold on the night, it was very difficult to sleep and then at 4am the fire alarm went off, there were no staff to advise what to do!

I have stayed at other travelodges and have never experienced anything like it, please save your money and stay somewhere else!!
Awful experience!!!

“Well located for Eurostar station”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

The hotel is well located (5 to 10 minute walk) from Kings Cross St. Pancras, however there is a second King Cross Travelodge, which is slightly closer. From the outside, this other Travelodge looks to be in much better condition.

The self-service kiosks were all out of order, but there was no line to check in at the counter. I stayed in a Millennium room, which although very old and shabby, was located in a quiet part of the hotel, away from the noise of reception and outside traffic.

The room had a portable TV and a kettle with free tea and coffee. A small bar of non-brand soap was provided in the bathroom, which looked as though it had been recently re-tiled. There was no in-room safe for valuables. The bed was comfortable, and I had a good nights sleep. Two of the lights did not work, which meant the room was rather dark.

I would stay here again, but only if the other Travelodge in the area was fully booked or more expensive.

Room Tip: Ask for a Millennium room, as these seem to be in a quieter section of the hotel.

“Unsure.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here for two nights last week to end a week of travelling around the country - we paid £10 to check in early and were quickly directed to our room. We were told our room was on the second floor, so we walked all over the second floor to find out that our room was actually below the second floor - we had to walk to the end of the corridor and then down a twisty flight of stairs which wasn't the easiest of things when we all had big suitcases. The room itself was ok - the view from the windows were the concrete walls outside, the bathroom was tiny and the room was freezing.

The best thing was on our first morning in the room while we were all relaxing in bed, discussing the plans for the day, a woman walked into our room having opened the door with her key card (it wasn't house keeping as she had only been and this was a different person). She thought that this was her room! When we went to reception to complain, they couldn't give us an answer as to why this had happened so we were very cautious of leaving much in the hotel room which kind of ruined the stay for us.

The noise levels weren't as big as I was expecting - when we came back from our first night out, the hotel was buzzing with people and noise but once we got to our room, we couldn't hear anything (but then again, we were at the back of the hotel so that could explain it).

The lifts were very temperamental and only worked every so often which again was a bit annoying but only being two levels up and then one down, it wasn't too bad.

The girl who checked us in was nice enough, not very chatty but not rude or anything. The man we spoke to later in the day to get a hair dryer was slightly on the rude side, he seemed to grunt when asked anything.

I'm in two minds whether I would stay here again, I would if the price was ridiculously cheap but if I had to pay the same amount again, I wouldn't bother.
