“Stay away - better than sleeping in the street (but only because it was snowing)”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I want this to sound like a balanced review but i also want to be honest. So here are the facts.

1. This hotel shares its 10 space car park with a busy Harvester restaurant
2. We were only able to get 2 pillows between the 3 people in our party
3. To hotel clearly has not been decorated in a long time
4. There is no noise control and dispite shouting and screaming throughout both nights of our two night stay nothing was done about it.#
5. There is no breakfast facilities, but you can order a microwaved sandwich (we did not)

In my opinion

Would not touch this place again with a barge pole. A dive an not suitable to carry the travel-lodge branding. the facilities a poor and it is not very clean. It is full with noisy drunken people and there is no one to police it. Despite us paying for 3 people to stay there they could not supply even basic amenities like enough pillows, tea, coffee, mugs or towels.

Good points

The hotel staff tried their best but they clearly dont have the tools to work with. Oh and if you like the smell of Febreze you will love this place and the whole hotel smells like its been douched in the stuff.

Conclusion

absolute dive, only stay here if it is your absolute last resort.

Room Tip: go somewhere else. only just beter than sleeping on the street

“Buyer beware - Would rather stay in pig sty”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

We travelled 120 miles with our 4 year old daughter, only to find the whole hotel stank. The floor of our room was covered in crumbs and the bath had a large revolting plug of human hair (assumption: it was human). The carpet was wet and sticky ...yuk!. We had to leave,..in the end we couldn't find anywhere to stay locally so had to drive 120 miles back home again. Our daughter behaved like a real trooper in the back of the car the whole way. A sad and miserable experience. Will never touch travelodge anywhere ever again - too much dissapointment and lost money...

Room Tip: Avoid and book a private establishment. The staff at the Travelodge down the road in Ilford (above t...

“Yuk....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Last minute trip to London, desperate for a room in the area. Saw a decent price on the website so booked. Never again. Awful place - in desperate need of refurbishment. Nothing felt clean. Was so happy to leave. One plus point, staff on reception were pleasant.
Unfortunately one of the worst places I have ever stayed.

“Badly needs refurbishing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2011

person found this review helpful

On the plus side the staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are cheap.
On the minus side the hotel needs a complete refurbishment - walls need repainting, carpet should be taken out and shot.
If Travelodge ever wish to rival Premier Inn they have got to raise their game.

“Not the Best, but adequate for the price.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2011

Stayed here with friends for 1 night whilst going to a concert at the O2 so just wanted somewhere to sleep and it fulfilled that function perfectly well. Definitely needs some investment as is starting to look tatty, but for £19 in London, need I say more.
