Hotel accommodation, restaurant, wedding & events venue located in the heart of Kelso Town Square in the beautiful Borders of Scotland. The Cross Keys Hotel is superbly situated in the heart of Kelso's picturesque French-style cobbled square. The present hotel was built in 1769, but in other forms a Cross Keys hotel has occupied this site since the earliest days of Scottish coaching inns.

Friendly staff, very helpful, good size rooms, lovely comfy beds, huge bathroom, not the best shower by lots of hot water. Plenty of choice for breakfast but meal could have been warmer!

The room was clean albeit a little old fashioned which made the room for me a bit depressing but wouldn't stop me returning. Couldn't open the windows. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was superb with a great choice. Staff are so helpful and courteous, would definitely recommend.

Staff very friendly.5 Lobby welcoming.5 Room was nice. Dusty on back of sink and toilet, and wardrobe. Very welcoming and served purpose. Remote was absolutely nasty, if anything carried a virus it was the remote control.

Some of the best Mac Cheese and bacon I've ever had (I'm a simple guy and enjoy simple pleasures). Staff were really friendly and the prices are really reasonable.

Super hotel with terrific staff. The hotel is a big part of Kelso and never let's itself down with its hospitality. Well worth a visit in a wonderful position on the town square.

This is a five-star review for their restaurant "Saddlers" where we had an exceptionally good lunch. Menu with plenty of choice, food to a very very high standard and prices good. Service and staff were friendly and pleasant. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Don't hesitate to try the amazing Cob Salad, best salad I have ever eaten.

Tired place. Needs refurbished. Good quality hot breakfast. Staff knowledgeable about drinks and food and genuinely friendly. Shower dribbled and temp fluctuated. Notice in toilet stating to expect this! No prior warning from desk. Room 302. Not nice view. Wouldn't recommend that room. Very small passing room between bottom of bed and wall.

Came here with my Princess Cruise shore excursion group and had a great time. Food (salmon with potatoes) was superb and service was fast and very efficient. No comments on the actual hotel itself, as we were only in here for their lunch service.
