“Welcome to the 80's. This place needs work.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

Somehow this place had a 4.5 of 5 on Expedia reviews where I got this room together with a flight package, despite the Travelodge name giving me a bit of pause. And well it should have. I should say up front the room was more or less clean (as was the lobby), but yikes, this place needs work and updating. The furniture is pretty beat up and scratched, scuffed walls, stained lampshades, and rips on the sofa. Better yet, I can't quite get over the pink/green color scheme in the room with burgundy lamps, dark salmon-like colored toilet/fiberglass shower, peeling bathroom ceiling paint and wallpaper, and unbelievably wild and overwhelming fake marble counter with damage and chips in the sink. I suppose for the money I got what I paid for. Stay at your own risk. It may meet your expectations if atmosphere and decor is not that important to you.

Room Tip: stay away from the end of the hall where I was since you hear the banging doors of people coming and...

“I recommend not staying here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

My stay at the Travelodge was a disappointment from the rooms, to the breakfast, and to what they call a "front desk manager". I cannot recall ever meeting a more unpleasant manager in all my years in the hospitality industry.

Room Tip: I suggest avoiding this hotel altogether and staying at one of the many that surrounds the area

“If beauty is skin deep, the warts showed early”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

person found this review helpful

The initial impression of this motel/hotel is pretty good. Nice lobby, large common area for breakfast, and good reception greeting. But after that it was a disappointment.
The rooms seem rather small, and the beds are brutal. I arrived in goood form, but departed after just two nights with body aches and a very sore back. They only give you two pillows and when I asked for more the answer was "I will check", but heard nothing after that. I asked again, same result - nothing.
The rooms are very dry and I could not control the heating system. I turned it off, but it still came on at its leisure.
The late night manager? Well she was, well, not friendly, just cranky.
The "Free breakfast" is only available until 9:30am; heaven forbid you wish to sleep in just a little longer.
The bathroom was OK, but the shower head was cheap and offered no real adjustment. Only 2 bath towels for me, my wife and my daughter? Yes, you guesed it, I was left waiting for more towels that never arrived.
The Travelodge looked like it was searching too hard to save money so it screamed "Cheap!" instead. There are other hotels in the area that offer similar rates - choose one of them and avoid this hotel.

Room Tip: There are better hotels for marginally more right next door - pick on of those and avoid this place.

Your feedback is very important to us and we would like to thank you for taking time out of your day to let us know about your stay here at the Travelodge London South.

We are very surprised you found the rooms small. Compared to the hotels in London, the Travelodge has the largest set rooms. Our rooms are very spacious which doesn't make the guest feel confined to such a small space.

Its unfortunate that you found the response by the front desk agent to be lacking with your requests. These comments have been addressed to the front desk agents.

“Perfect 2 Day Business Stop”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I had to stop in London for 2 days on my way back to Toronto for a couple buisness meetings that I had to attend. I chose the travelodge because, quite honestly, you can't beat the prices! This travelodge also offered free wifi which worked without any flaws, which ended up working perfect considering I was travelling on busines.

The room was a little out dated, but very clean and the rest of the hotel made up for it. Nice comfortable breakfast area, with great full hot breakfast each morning!

All the staff were extremely friendly at the front desk as well as in the kitchen.

Had a great stay, would reccomend it and would return.

With our hotel being located directly off of the highway, and in a busy part of town in regards to shopping and businesses, we tend to attract many guests throughout the week who are staying at our hotel for business purposes.

With so much direct competition around us, we our happy to offer guests who are staying for business related purposes, special rates with our hotel. We have many business guests who frequently stay with us because of the great rates we provide them, as well as the free wireless internet we offer that works great anywhere in the hotel! As well, included in your room cost is a full hot breakfast served each morning from 6:30-9:30 which is great for those who need to get an early start on the day!

We are glad you chose to stay with us here at the Travelodge, and were happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you again soon!

Thank you for choosing to stay with us at the Travelodge, and thank you for taking your time out to write a response in regards to your stay.

We are ALWAYS happy to recieve feedback on every guests stay to help us improve our hotel and the atmosphere to make it an enjoyable stay for every guest that enters our hotel.

I'm not too certain of what room you had been booked into, however, for only 10$ more per night, you can always upgrade to one of our king suites which includes a Jacuzzi tub, large set room, extra television in the bedroom itself, and a pull out sofa. These rooms are a great choice if your looking for that something extra when staying at our hotel!

Once again, we thank you for booking your trip with us. We look forward to meeting your hospitality needs in the future.
