“Quite nice, really”

Kingston Lodge Hotel

19 Jul 2007

I've stayed here a couple of times now on business and the Kingston Lodge has always been reasonably good. It's got everything you need for a few nights away with work or on a leisure break, as there are plenty of attractions nearby and is conveniently situated for Kingston, Richmond, Hampton Park, Teddington areas. Plenty of parking, a cosy bar, food available most times of the times - bar, restaurant and room service. Bedrooms are very comfortable, with all the things you'd expect for the price. Service can be slow, partiularly at check-out etc, I nearly gave up paying for some bar food and asked for it to be added to my bill, which I think they forgot! Read other postings here about inaccurate credit-card billing, so beware. Lots of very friendly staff, who are eager to please - but many had problems mastering the language, which I think contributes to most of the problems!

“Not impressed”

Kingston Lodge Hotel

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Shrewsbury

Not impressed.
Only stayed one night- thank goodness, as the room was stuffy, there was a constant noise from outside which sounded like some sort of electric motor, and coulld clearly hear othe rguests using the foot well which was next to my room. Should have complained.
The breakfast was poor in quality and quite possibly not cooked properly- which is being polite. The good things about this hotel are it is reasonably close to some London attractions, free parking, and if you get a better located room than mine is reasonably priced. I didn't eat at this hotel, but can recomend the pub down the hill for good bar meals and a decent pint.

“Style of an English Country Inn on edge of London”

Kingston Lodge Hotel

24 Feb 2007

The hotel had the charm of an English Country Inn yet its on the fringe of London.
The major thought we took away with us from our 2-night stay was the friendly staff - always smiling. Apparently the general manager has only been there a couple of months as has clearly chosen some good new staff.
The room was adequate in size (typical UK), clean bright and with all the required facilities. Only downside was that the TV was too large !! Worth noting that if there is a party in the function room, it can be a little noisy until midnight.
The lounge/bar area allowed for small intimate parties as well as larger groups - the bar area dates back to the 1600's.
The restaurant food was absolutely superb - that chef knows how to present quality English food to perfection and wine prices are reasonable.
We will be back.

“Good midweek experience for family”

2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed for one night while attending an event in the hotel. The staff were helpful and the room fine. It's not perfect (worn carpet, dirty iron and ironing board, etc.) but the minor problems didn't distract from an enjoyable stay. The best feature was that our room was a good size, and above our expectations (like a lot of people we've had too many poor experiences in boxy rip-off hotels - a feature of travelling in the UK). We took our six week old baby with us, and the room was just fine - lots of space for a crib and a very comfortable bed for tired adults. We paid £85 midweek (including cooked breakfast which we had served in our room), and I think better deals are available, but we would happily stay again.

“Very Reasonable”

Kingston Lodge Hotel

Save Review
4 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

As we were attending Rugby at Twickenham we decided at the last minute to find accomodation for the Friday & Saturday nights. The choice was quite limited and we thought the Kingston Lodge looked okay and would be a good base. On arriving we were pleasantly surprised, it was especially welcoming with open fires and festive decorations. We found that the room rate was less than we had anticipated, £75 for Friday and £100 for Sat, Bed & Breakfast. The room was nicely decorated (but getting a bit tired round the edges) and equiped with TV, CD Player and Water/Tea/Coffee making facilities. Once we had dropped our bags in our room we went into the bar for a quick drink before going out, the hot chocolate was undrinkable and my partner felt the Guiness was not quite right either.
The location is good, about 20mins walk (downhill) to the huge variety of shops in Kingston, or there is a bus stop outside the hotel which runs 24hrs. We tried the Thai restaurant about 10mins walk towards town which was good and on the Saturday we we to the Indian next door which really was superb.
One big complaint was the hotels failure to book a taxi as requested for the rugby and they were not apologetic. Twickenham was about 20mins drive and £20 in a taxi. I think this hotel was fair and the rate we paid very appropriate for adequate service on the whole - If the rate was tipping over the £100 mark I think the hotels in Richmond would serve you better for just a few more pounds.
