Travelodge London Kings Cross Royal Scot

People who run this place don't seem to believe in floor hygiene. The carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed forever. There was broken pieces of zippers , hair and a green candy left on the floor near my bed. The vanity in the bathroom had hairs left on it and my bedsheet had black fuzz on it. I don't know what's going on with the hygiene situation here but this is the second dirtiest places I have stayed. I hope it can be improved soon. The front desk was polite and helpful. The breakfast was good. Location was good too.. Just too dirty..

Strange room. Window very high up. Curtain broken, we had to climb on the desk to close it. Foaming handwash in the shower instead of shower gel. Curtain hung over edge of shower base so bathroom got very wet. Bathroom needed a really good clean. Really not worth what we paid. Reception staff nice when we checked in.

We booked two rooms twice at either end of a trip to France. Great service, good sized well equipped rooms and good food. We left a very much loved cuddly toy behind and this was returned, special delivery, free of charge by a great man named Simon. Highly recommended

We stayed a couple nights this weekend to be near everything. The hotel is conveniently located to the tube and all the hot spots. Walking distance to lots of fun places and things to do. The hotel needs some definite renovation. Especially AC.The breakfast was nice. They had cold water with lemon and mint every day available which was nice since it's been hot. Doris was amazing. She welcomed us day one and helped us store our luggage. On our last day, she called a cab for us and even helped us get our things in the taxi. Good place for the money.

I have been to the hotel before covid. Now after renovation it looks in excellent shape. Especially the bar and dining area looks so warm and well decorated.Rooms are better as well with new furniture included. I recommend this hotel as it is near kings cross and st pancras stations and with a short walk you can be in oxford street.

Chose the Royal Scot as it was near to St. Pancras / Kings Cross station. First impressions as l booked in, how friendly the staff were l felt welcome. My room was clean, tidy, bright all really that l needed for my short break. I got there late so made a cuppa had a shower and got into bed. Six hours later l was awake and refreshed. l made a note to find out where they sourced their pillows, best kip in ages. I booked the full English and wasn't disappointed good grub, self service and plenty of it. Sadly the Capital is looking rather run down at present trash everywhere outside the Royal Scot was no exception. Inside the Royal Scot a little oasis of calm exists. Well recommended.

Great location, close to King's Cross. The rooms are quite small. The lights in our room were a bit odd, we had to have the bathroom light on to have the bedside lights on. Shower was nice and powerful. You can ask reception for a hairdryer.

Staff were nice enough at check-in. The reception and restaurant/bar seemed well decorated.The rooms, however, needed some serious TLC. Not awful, but just tired, peeling paint, faded carpet, clear signs of previous electrical fittings and redundant switches etc.The bathroom was clean enough, though the shower didn't work properly. It would cycle repeatedly between hot and lukewarm every couple of seconds. Useable, but not fantastic as someone who enjoys a hot shower.Room facilities were largely sufficient, though more tea would've been appreciated. The TV didn't work however. No matter what channel we tried, there was no picture and intermittent sound. The TV was displaying a UI however, so this was a problem with the receiving infrastructure not the TV itself.Traffic noise was somewhat loud outside, but we both slept fine. Fortunately it was a cool night, as I'd imagine having the windows open would make it significantly worse.Breakfast was okay. The selection was reasonable, but the quality could be improved. The bacon for example was overcooked and rather dry, and the juice was strange. Other guests had trouble with the toasters burning croissants, which irritated the staff who got upset with them. Probably not worth the cost though, better to walk the 10 minutes to McDonald's.On the subject of walking, the location was convenient for Kings Cross.In summary, the hotel is a convenient location with mostly friendly staff, but needs a fair bit of maintenance and a better food offering.

We spent 4 days in London as my 81-year-old mother wanted to go back to London once more attractive (Brexit, COVID, time to get a passeport postponed it). The hotel we used to go was closed due to refurbished works. Her requirements were a hotel with ensuite facilities, a kettle, full english breakfast and close to St Pancras International (bus stations nearby too). We had a pleasant time there. We were able to check-in earlier/out later for a small costume (cheaper than leaving our suitcases at luggage storage). Breakfast is good (eat as much as you can), we once had dinner (chicken tikka massala + cider) and we were happy with our dish. People working there are very pleasant, smiling (special mention to Jacquie who also speaks French). If you want to have your room refreshed (towels, bins, tea/coffee), it is necessary to do it before 11am at the reception desk.The only inconvenient was the noise from outside (no double-glazing for our room). Anyway many thanks for our enjoyable stay.
