This Travelodge delivers exactly what you expect: a clean and comfortable no-frills room at a good price. Comfy bed, good shower, clean towels, TV and kettle.  …

Room size as expected from a travelodge. This hotel has been refurbished. Not much room on one side of the bed. The bed seemed too close to the toilet wall not leaving much room to step out of bed. …

Rooms clean enough and good location but noise was an issue.Stayed two nights and had to put up with the constant noise of people slamming doors, and there was a group of school kids who kept running and shouting down the corridors.Not sure if this is unique to this particular hotel or if its the same in all Travelodge's but the room doors are so heavy and the locks so stiff its impossible to close them quietly and not slam the door. Perhaps they need to invest in soft closing doors and some sound proofing.

Had a pretty poor four nights’ sleep here this week. The rooms are incredibly noisy - can hear people in the adjacent rooms talking, as well as doors slamming constantly.They don’t clean the rooms, even when you ask them too. They told me their policy is to clean every seven days which is baffling. I asked for somebody to empty the bins and refresh the towels, but this never happened.The staff were friendly, even though they didn’t accommodate my request.Won’t be returning

This Travelodge has been refurbished. In my opinion the bed is too close to the bathroom wall, leaving little room to get in and out of bed. No bedside cabinets either. I missed the shelf to put my watch on at night. Not much desk room. Cups and spoons not on a tray but directly on desktop.Plenty of places to eat/ drink and cinema within walking distance as is the taff trail

Visiting my best friend for her 60th Birthday. This was the closest hotel. Great location, with bars restaurants and other entertainment a very short walk away. Room was clean and comfortable. Did lack in hand soap, dispenser was empty, we reported it and were told some soap would be brought up to the room. It didn't happen, we were left with the option to use the very watered down liquid that was in the shower gel dispenser. Just as well we brought our own. We were woken up very early with doors in the corridor slamming, not sure if that was due to early check outs or the cleaners.
