I booked online, impressed by the location and price, but was horrified by all the negative Google reviews. The check in staff were friendly and competent. Our room looked out over the runway (excellent!) and the soundproofing ensured no unwanted noise disturbance. Breakfast was fantastic, the restaurant staff friendly and helpful. We ate dinner at the hotel twice and we're satisfied.

This was a surprisingly good stay. The airport is effectively at the end of the runway at London City Airport - it's not an issue! The flights stopped between about 10:45 and 6:30 and the triple glazing at the hotel actually works really well. A good night for me.

Wonderful view to the airport runway (front rooms) the airport closes at 8:30pm so you can sleep very well. There is 24hr bus service. Mini market and fast food restaurants are at a walking distance. The breakfast is 10/10

Waited 30 minutes in their empty restaurant, they served an uncooked pizza (how difficult can a pizza be?) which I could hardly eat, and then refused to provide a refund because 'it was cooked'. …

I recently stayed at the Travelodge London City Airport and had a wonderful experience. The location is incredibly convenient, just a short distance from the airport, making it perfect for travelers with early or late flights.One of the highlights of my stay was the excellent service provided by Hathim. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, from helping with check-in to answering any questions I had. His warm, friendly demeanor and attention to detail made me feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of.

Avoid this hotel at all costs. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to stay here during my recent trip to London, and it was the worst experience of my life. I booked a six-night stay for my family of three. Upon arrival, I left my luggage with the staff for storage until check-in. Shockingly, they didn’t take any details or ask for my name—just handed me a ticket for my bags.When we checked in, the room and bathroom were only somewhat clean. Thankfully, we brought our own towels and didn’t need to use the hotel's. The real issues began on the second day. After returning to the hotel, we discovered our room hadn’t been cleaned. We assumed it was a mistake, but it happened again on the third day.When I spoke to the receptionist, I was informed that they don’t clean rooms during your stay unless you stay for more than seven nights, at which point they clean once. This policy was never mentioned on their website. The coffee machine in our room was broken and covered in dust, making it unusable.Adding to the frustration, the hotel refused to accept any packages delivered to guests, citing proximity to the airport as a security concern. This policy was inconsistent, considering they accepted my luggage without verifying I was a guest. The supervisor at reception was extremely rude, insisting this policy was stated on the website, yet couldn’t provide proof.This was the first time I’ve encountered a hotel that doesn’t clean rooms or accept parcels, coupled with such an unprofessional attitude. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

Excellent hotel handily placed for London City Airport with good connections to the city via the DLR, which is a few minutes walk. We stayed in room 502 which is a Super Room, and it was very comfortable. Lovely bed, decent shower and a good night's sleep. Didn't use the restaurant so can't comment
