Travelodge Hotel

4 étoiles pour le rapport qualité prix offert et ce, à Londres, à 10mins de Picadilly Circus. Hôtel récent et rénové avec des chambres confortables et bien équipées. L’hôtel rappelle un peu le style d’un Ibis ou Novotel dans les tons bleus et rouges. Séche-​cheveux et adapteurs pour prises sont fournis gratuitement à la réception.
Personnel à l’accueil sympa et accueillant, personnel de chambre efficace (lit fait chaque jour et serviettes changées quotidiennement). La litterie est top. L’hôtel possède un snack/​restaurant/​bar qui sert à boire et à manger pour des prix raisonnables. On y va surtout pour la connexion wifi gratuite (payante en chambre). Il y a une petite supérette juste à côté pour les gens qui né veulent pas manger de pizzas/​burgers et autres lasagnes proposées par la carte du resto. Le petit-​déjeuner est servi sous forme de buffet continental (classique) et anglais. Délicieux et très varié.
J’y retournerai surement à mon prochain trip to London! 2 nuits + 1 gratuite, situation au top sur la Jubilee Line. A 1 arrêt de Waterloo, 2 de Westminster et 3 de Green Park, 6 arrêts de Kings Cross St Pancras.
PS: côtés «négatifs»: les fans de luxe et de design né vont peut-​être pas 100% adhérer mais à ce prix-​là, personne né s’en préoccupe du luxe d’un 5*, le petit-​déjeuner typique anglais manqué de quelques ingrédients et les tomates sont servies crues et froides. Très peu à redire sur cet hôtel.

This is the first time at Travelodge Southwark and it certainly won’t be the last.
Check in staff were fairly friendly, and the room was nice and clean.
Coffee and tea facilities are available and there are some vending machines in the street entrance (you need to use the stairs/​lifts to access reception).
Room was by the Blackfriars line but didn’t disturb me.
The only real downside was the seemingly paper thin walls. Could hear when the people next door flushed their toilet and a couple of other guests had the habit of running about late on in the evening slamming doors.
Is a nice short walk to the Jubilee Line station, and not too far from the Tate Modern.

When we got to the top floor and got off the lift, we knew we had a problem.
It was hot and airless. The room was the same. No air movement whatsoever.
The staff are great but if you can’t sleep because there is no way to cool down the room — then this place fails.
The fan helped but it ran all night. Only way I could try and sleep.

Clean, quiet, comfortable, basic…
Stayed for 3 nights in a double room. The price was excellent about £150 for the 3 nights (the last night being only £19), and for that this close to the centre of London you can’t complain.
The rooms are basic. There is a bed, there is a worktop table running under hte window (with bottle opener) and an open cupbaord to hang/​stack your clothes. There is a Flatscreen TV with some freeview channels and tea & coffee facilities and that is that.
The bathroom is compact with toilet, sink and shower.
Everything was cleaned daily.
What more do you want?
Some reviews I have seen complain of train noise and noise from other guests. can hoenstly say we heard nothing and the room was right next to the train line (Room 402). The room was at the end of the corridor so we would not have had many guests passing by our room but there was hardly any noise, other than the odd clunk of a door closing.
Didn’t partake of breakfast as we had other plans and it seemed a bit pricey.
The 24 hour shop next door is a bit expensive, there is a costcutter opposite Southwark tube which is a bit more reasonable, and Sainsburys Local opposite Waterloo tube (about 10 – 15 minute walk).
I would stay again if I wanted to stick to a budget, but I wouldn’t want to pay any more than we did for this stay.

You generally know what you are going to get when you stay at a Travelodge – value accommodation (sparsely appointed, bring your own shampoo, pay for early checkin, late checkout and internet service, etc.) near where you want to go. To gauge my review, I would probably give the best of Travelodges 3 stars. This one gets two for two reasons:
1) Plumbing sound — this location has the worst case of «plumbing howl» I have ever heard. I don’t know if this is improper venting or a resonant frequency thing, but it was so bad that I could feel the wall in the bathroom move. Good luck sleeping through it if your neighbor needs to shower or flush the toilet.
2) Poor sound proofing. Maybe you will get luckier than me, but at 3:30am the loud party goers returned. And even from the top floor (7), road noise is pretty tough starting around 6am.
On the positive side, it is extremely close to the Southwark tube stop on the Jubilee line and near a number of touristy places like the Tate Modern.

The positive: great location, at £29 a night a bargain for London, clean well sized room and helpful staff.
The negative: they messed up one of our rooms, the first also had many stains on the sofa… Breakfast not great and nowhere to leave luggage for the afternoon once checked out.

Stayed here as a family of 4 and although was a bit tricky to find when coming off the underground, the hotle itself was clean and tidy with very helpfuly staff. We didn’t have breakfast there as we found a couple of local cafes, but it seemed well stocked from what we could tell.
All in all it is an excellent location with only a 10 – 15 min walk to the Thames and then you are a short distance from the Tate, Globe Theatre etc. We walked to the Tower of London and it took us about 40 minutes along the Thames footpath which was a lovely walk.
Would recommend this purely for it’s location and it being a clean & comfy place to stay.

Travelodge is an excellent option for those looking for simple and clean accommodations. It’s pretty bare bones – besides the usual bed and towel furnishings they only provide a small bar of soap. But there’s also a water heater and some free coffee powder packs. They don’t have any shampoo/​lotion but if you do need a hairdryer, you can go borrow one from the reception.
Pluses:
+Great location, literally 2 min walk from the Southwark (Jubilee) station and 5 – 10 min from Waterloo
+and on that note, close walk to Borough Market (10−15min)!
+Secure. You need a card to swipe into each floor.
+New facilities and clean.
+Nice neighborhood with cute shops, foodstores and many gastropubs around
+24 hour convenience store right next door.
+Friendly service.
+LCD tv’s
+Super affordable for London standards. Internet booking has great deals
Minuses:
–weird air/​heat control: no matter what, it was always cold in our rooms and even setting the temp high up, it was always blowing cold air
–no free breakfast altho there is an all-​you-​can-​eat for a fee.

I stayed in the travel lodge at the weekend, very well located. Not easy to find when you get off the tube could do with a sign post! the room was clean, however some of the public areas were dirty, and breakfast was not too great. but for the price and the location overall its a great place.

A great place to stay. This is located right in central London, literally a minute’s walk away from Southwark Underground station. Its also a quick walk away from the Globe Theatre and the Tate Modern. When I stayed here the hotel had just opened so all the rooms were clean and modern. The people working there were very friendly and only to eager to help when we asked to change room. All in all a very pleasant stay.
