Travelodge London Kingston Upon Thames Central

Shiva Krishna was very helpful and well spoken

“Basic and well located, but with some issues”

If you have been in a Travelodge, you know what to expect, more or less. They are all basic and mostly clean, with the same style of rooms. Some are newer than others. This one doesn’t look very new and needs some extra TLC in certain parts. The room was fine, just the normal Travelodge one, but this probably needed an extra of cleanliness. The shower handle and the surfaces around needed some deep scrubbing. Even one of the spoons in one of the mugs had filth attached (see photo, second time I have this problem in these hotels). Another weird thing was that you couldn’t open or close the bathroom door if the toilet seat was down. Someone hadn’t calculated the space that well when the room was assembled… Apart from that, the rest was fine. The bed was comfy, the stay was quite pleasant and not as much exterior noise as one could have expected in the centre of Kingston. In any case, I sleep with earplugs and that helps… The staff was nice, although I had a problem when I left. I asked in reception if they could save my backpack the last morning and they said yes. I told them I would be back around 13 hours. I did and there was no one at the desk, I couldn’t literally find anyone around, even calling them out loud. Because I had already checked out, I had no key card, so I couldn’t look for any staff further away from the reception area. Thankfully, two guests were leaving and I managed to find a cleaning guy that called someone. I managed to get my train in the last minute, but it was a close call. I can’t understand how the desk isn’t staffed at all times, or at least has a button to call someone in a case of need. They knew that I was coming as well. Not very trustworthy. I would probably stay here if I needed it again, but I doubt that I would trust the reception desk with my luggage.
