Value Budget Accommodation in London
by TripAdvisor Member kevinpng
This is a good budget hotel in a good location in London. Completely no frills, but you get a good bed and a good shower. Room was clean and perfectly acceptable. When you consider the prices of hotels in London you can not do much better than Travelodge. Recommend a Family Room if you want extra space as these rooms are large and have a couch.
does what it says on the tin

Its a lodge for travellers. No pretentious or over fussyness. Hotel was clean. rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. Shower nice and hot. If you want a base close to london liverpool st and dont want to be fussed over and what to do your own thing then this is the place. The bar/cafe was also very good and it had air/con !! Had a decent breakfast and evening meal cooked there. Loads of other resturant facilitys in the area. I do recoment the Thai Buddah on Middlesex St a stones throw from the hotel for a great thai meal.
Check in and check out was a breeze.
ok this didnt feel like a hotel where you were going to get pampered but that isnt what Travellodge is for. They have cut to the chase and delivered a basic service that is effecient. it does what it says on the tin.
we don't do that!

Myself and two girl-friends stayed at liverpool street travellodge on a two night break in london. On arrival at 2.20pm we were told we could not access our rooms as they had not been cleaned. Mix up straight away about times for checking in. We had suit cases with us and were vey tired and hungry. Asked about leaving the cases to go and eat. 'We don't do that'. Bar/cafe in hotel closed, machine for a drink in reception OUT OF ORDER! Waited and eventually allowed in rooms at 2.45pm. Totally unhelpful staff on reception, no idea about eating places nearby, no maps. No usual information booklet in room about locality. EXCEPT... a card with all the 'we don't do thats'. No toiletries due to guests taking them! Half used tiny bottles of shower/shampoo and a shower cap is hardly the great train robbery! No hairdryer, no contact with reception (phone), No biscuits with tea an coffee. NOISE. if there is one thing that travellodges boast about it's the fact that you are practically guaranteed a good nights sleep. Night: screeching cars, followed by police sirens. Morning: 5.57am...building work begins on the street below (side street). Had to keep window closed...hence too hot in room!. Banging doors in the travellodge night and day. Have stayed in many different travellodges all over England and have always been more than hapy. This one.....NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
Good value for the price & location

I stayed here with my wife for a short getaway to celbrate our anniversary. Having stayed in Travelodges before we knew pretty musch what to expect as they are no frills.
The room was clean and spacious for 2 people. The only downside was an amount of noise that came in when you had the window open, due to the fact there is a tower block next door and the hotel is in the middle of the City of London. If it is cool enough to close the window, the problem ceases.
Excellent Location and CHEAP!!

Stayed here for one night in August due to its close location to the Liverpool Street's Stansted Express Service. We only paid £26 by booking on the Travelodge website well in advance. A fantastic price for a hotel in central London.
The room was clean, had tea making facilities and a television. The en suite was also clean and had a shower, no bath but that wasn't a problem. We checked in after midnight due to our delayed flight arriving at Gatwick. The late check in caused no problems with the well manned reception. It was only a £16 taxi fare from Victoria Street Station and the Gatwick Express Service which we though was very reasonable. The tube link would have been cheaper but wasn't available at the time we arrived.
We didn't notice the noise from outside and had a short walk to the train station in the morning. What more do you need? All for £26!
Make sure they give you a non occupied room!

Me, my partner and a friend booked to stay at the hotel on August bank holiday Sunday. Me and my partner had booked well in advance and got the superb £26.00 rate. Our friend who booked later booked a rate of £50.00.
The walk from Liverpool Street station is effortless and no struggle even if you have large cases. You even walk past a large Tesco Metro which was ideal for us to stock on essentials.
We tried to check in early but they said the rooms hadnt been cleaned. Be warned that they do NOT have a left luggage facility so either lug your bags around or there is a facility on platform 10 at Liverpool St Station which costs £6.50 for 24hours. The staff at the hotel are all foreign and speak very broken English. Me and my partner checked in ok with the non smoking room that we had booked, however our friend booked the same and ended up with a smoking room. The staff didnt seem at all bothered and said that there were no other rooms available.
So off we plodded and went to see our friends room. The corridoor stunk of smoked, we opened the room and it was occupied. Luckily there was no one in the room at the time but all the persons possesions were. God knows what would of happened if someone had of been in there. We went back down to complain. Again the check in staff and the manager werent the slightest bit bothered or apologetic and couldnt explain why someone was in there. They said "check out is at 12pm so if he iis still in there I dont know why" - Like they were saying it wasnt their problem. Anyhow after kicking up a fuss, they amazingly found a NON smoking room (after saying they didnt have one available). This room was fine as was our.
The rest of the stay was fine and what you expect from the travelodge. The room was clean, tidy, modern. They all have tvs with the normal channels plus 3 sky channels and radio. There is also tea and coffee making facilities. Dont expect any more than this. I have had read reviews on here from other people complaining that they dont get shampoos and showergel. Just ignore them!
The hotel has a cafe which we didnt use but looked ok.
All in all the hotel itself is absolutely great for how much you pay and where it is, but the staff really let it down and couldnt give too monkeys.
Just be careful when opening your room door for the first time!
at this price...no complaints!

this hotel is in a great location, but they wont take bags if you arrive early , so if you do , leave your bags in liverpool st station to avoid carrying them back up!! its 6.50 a bag to store them there.
the hotel itself was fine, clean rooms , plenty of tea /coffee, just ask at reception if you need more, they are friendly enough for a cheap and cheerful hotel, i stayed for 2 nights aug 26-28 in a family room with 2 kids, 26 pounds a night for 3 people in london is a steal! must say though they really should clean the carpets in the corridors , they absolutely stink, not so in the rooms just there. cafe bar was average, but the breakfast was a disaster, staff had little english , hadnt a clue who had ordered and everyone was left standing around for 20 mins whilst the waitress went to get milk! we left and bought breakfast elsewhere just to avoid this happening to us too! overall, its great for the price and really near all sights because of train station, id stay again at this price and would highly recommend it for a cheap and cheerful weekend .
Comfortable beds but nothing else good to say.

Just finished a business stay at this hotel. First of all the good stuff. The location is great, right near Liverpool Street train station and near Devonshire Square, The Gherkin and the financial district. Also the bed is very large and comfortable with lovely soft pillows.
The downside: Travelodge have removed any type of luxury from the room and left a depressing laminated card explaining why there is no bath mat in the shower. Toiletries consist of a tiny bar of soap not replaced during my stay.
The room was extremely hot (no airconditioning) opening the window brought the sounds of traffic, some dodgy flats at the back of the hotel and extremely loud construction work starting about 7.30 which meant I never had to set my alarm.
The food, both dinner and breakfast is inedible, please do not eat here, there are plenty of great restaurants nearby. Both meals I ordered here were returned for a refund, they were that bad.
Booking here for 15 pounds a night would be a great deal, but for over 100 it was a depressing experience.

Hotel near Liverpool Street
by Banjo
Knowing London no to so bad, I know that, booking online, sometime you can arrive at your hotel crying... cause the price was high and the rooms are terrible!!!! The 2 ** normally are like that. Can someone help me to find a hotel (Bad & Breakfast) near Liverpool street that has room facilities, clean, and a good price (50-60, max 75 £ per room per night)?
Thanks in advance to everyone can help me. I need it just for one night.

Whenever in London I stay at the Holiday Express Inn at Southwark - between 49 and 65 per night (per room) and has free breakfast included.
I've never had a problem with these guys and though it seems to be a bit far out, its within easy walking distance of all the sights, 10min stroll to Black Friars Station and another Tube Station (Southwark I assume) withing walking distance.
If you're going to book the above hotel go to PriorityClub.com

you could try the st gregory it's a 4* hotel and at this time of the year i think they are doing rooms for around £59 per night, the hotel is really nice though it's on of the most modern in the city and it's about 5 minutes walk from liverpool st about 10 minutes walk from old street and because it's almost in shoreditch the nightlife is great there also.
but the hotel has a really nice terrace bar which means you can look over the city skyline which is great although its all dependant on the weather...
www.saintgregoryhotel.com have a look at the hotel here but you might be able to find a better deal on other websites depending on your dates.

This area is much cheaper at the weekend than during midweek as its next to the main financial business area of London.
Cheapest hotels are normally the Ibis Aldgate and City Inn Aldgate about 5 minutes walk from Liverpool Street Station.
There is a map of all the hotels around Liverpool Street at:

i think with most hotels in the city if you're staying a saturday night then it works out cheaper because they know you're not a business user
