While overall the hotel location was convenient, we were highly dissatisfied with the room. The room was mentioned as "super room" on Travelodge website, but there was nothing super about it. The room was very very small and stuffy. There was an unpleasant smell in the room when we came at night after a long day out. The ventilation was poor. The bed was uncomfortable. The air-conditioning didn't help much and it made a slight noise throughout the night, enough to disturb our sleep. The window had to be kept open (to the extent possible) to allow for some air. But the noise outside made it even more difficult to relax. The staff during the check in process was efficient.Totally regretted booking the hotel and it was absolutely not worth the price!

Lovely hotel with lovely staff. Team were brilliant in accommodating my needs. Had an issue with the aircon in the room. One of the manager came up and resolved it. Close to all the local tubes and great options for food around the area. The room was clean and cosy.

Great experience and lovely staff! I had a few issues with my room and one of the staff members was super helpful. Thank you Esrat and thank you Travelodge!||It’s also quite close to the station so would recommend for a quick stay or a business trip.

Great stay as usual. Cannot recommend enough. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. We were checked in by Tan. The check in was very quick and efficient. He gave me a lot of recommendations about the local area. He was also very helpful giving directions.

Conveniently located close to two tube stations. Rooms are small but that is expected in the city. Beware that if you get an accessible room, the shower water is not very hot as they cap the temperature. I had to change to a regular room to get a proper hot shower. Breakfast is alright, regular English style, no complaints for the price. Assistant manager was very helpful. Main complaint for me is that you have to pay for Internet, and the annoying thing is even with payment it is limited to two devices. So if you have a family then be prepared to fork out quite some money for Internet.

Staff were excellent. Always smiling, always polite, and always happy to help.A/C in our room was too noisy to switch on. Slept with the window open, but let's be thankful it wasn't hot. We asked for it to be fixed, but it never was, and have now been told it will be fixed for next time. If they offer you room 705, ask if the A/C is fixed first.

Rooms were nice, bed comfy and clean.Breakfast however was total opposite only had one choice of cold drink ( apple juice) food choice was not much left after 10am . Cold, and hash browns like rubber. Had to ask for plates, salt and food that needed topping up for breakfast. Restaurant staff member had no customer service skills , conversation or even a simple smile. Some serious training required to make it look like they actually want to offer some good service . Very disappointing.

A place to sleep, although it should have been a double bed room, it was a smaller bed (narrower) than what I was expecting to find as a double bedroom. Anyhow, it works out for two adults.Breakfast was okay, dairy products, cereals and typical English breakfast products.Coffee was not mine, but tea is probably a better alternative anyhow.
