“Decent room, friendly service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2008

Used the Kings as a stop-over on a biking trip to Scotland and it met all of my needs and expectations. The room was big enough without being spectacular and was clean. The service was friendly and we ended up joining in some drinking games with the locals and staff at the end of the night, I am not sure what the game was but it seemed to be a contest to see who could spend the most on a round!

Importantly there was a sheltered garage area for us to secure our bikes in for the night. I found the town of Lockerbie very dissapointing but it was only a stop-over. After a long day on the bike the hotel was fine for my needs.

  • Liked — Friendly staff and facilities to accomodate our bikes
  • Disliked — Difficult location on main street with limited regular parking

“The Least Friendly Hotel in the UK”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2007

I have to say the room was clean however very small - the words "swing" and "cat" did spring to mind. The person we dealt with at the hotel, a gentleman (and I use the term loosely) was dreadful, absolutely no people skills whatsoever. Every question or request was met with the same answer "No". According to the Hotel Guide in the bedroom breakfast will be served outwith the hours of 8 and 9am on Saturday and Sunday on request with reception who will be only to happy to help (ha ha). However when we asked for a later breakfast the answer was a resounding No. In fact the person we were dealing with denied that the room guide offered this service!!! Having gone for breakfast at 8.40 am I found it a bizarre experience with the same man serving as had been on recpetion the night before - the only difference being he was wearing a waistcoat and still not a smile! A totally Fawlty Towers stay and not to be recommended. The smell as you enter the hotel is overpowering almost as though you were entering a sewer.
