Travelodge London Farringdon

The hotel location is great, paid £209 for a twin room . Considering how dirty the hotel corridors and bedroom carpets floor was,overpaid! Enjoyed the fact that the water temperature and pressure was brilliant in bathroom. The service was good as the hotel staff were friendly 👌🏾 I wouldn't stay there again,just because it was dirty.

Bit of a trek from Kings Cross but easily doable with wheeled cases - about 20 min walk. Glad it wasn't raining. Really friendly staff on arrival & in the restaurant, one of the best things about the place was the staff, only beaten by 1) the excellent breakfast & 2) quietness of the area. Room smaller than I'm used to for Travelodge, twin room with small bathroom, walk-in shower only, no bath. Comfy bed, thankfully plug sockets near top of bed (another Travelodge I recently visited only had plugs at the opposite side of the room to the bed, so annoying when I need to charge phone overnight whilst listening to podcasts). No hairdryer in the room but available at Reception, no glass or plastic cup in bathroom or bedroom but available downstairs in the bar/restaurant area & no issue with you taking it to your room. A new touch since my last visit to a Travelodge was that they now have usb charging point in the room too. Nice Samsung TV in the room & room 425 on 4th floor was lovely & quiet - except when neighbours coming & going, but outside noise/area was incredibly quiet. Breakfast all you can eat for about £10.50 & kids go free. Plenty of choice, everything freshly cooked, gorgeous warm croissants & lovely coffee out of the machine. There's a restaurant & bar serving meals throughout the day & pizzas all night. Reasonable prices given location, not that we ate there. Downsides were 1) someone in 1 of the nearby rooms smoking - both days when we opened our door in the morning a strong smell of smoke in the corridor. 2) bathroom was quite dirty under the sink & on wall. 3) only 1 towel each now - although am sure they'd give you another at Reception if you ask. I get they're trying to reduce waste/laundry etc. Final note - a great Chinese 2 mins down the road called Canton Taste - we got a table as a walk-in at 7 on a Friday night, they do takeaway too. Fabulous dumplings!
