Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 121 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the overall quality, frequently encountering unclean rooms, dirty towels, and unpleasant smells in common areas. People often found the food, particularly breakfast, to be of poor standard, describing it as tasteless, cold, or improperly cooked. Reviewers also reported unhelpful or uninterested staff, a lack of basic amenities like hot water or room servicing, and difficulties in resolving issues.

Unsatisfactory - Boston in Lincs

My husband stayed at the Boston Lincs lodge on 18/6
Couldn’t get booked in because the receptionist was on her mobile phone and having waited several minutes fir her to complete her call he went and sat in the car gir 25 minutes because there was no where in reception to sit . When he returned she was rude and defensive saying it was a work call! Then she booked him in, out of spite it would seem, in to an assistance room despite him having no obvious disabilities. The room was unsuitable . He won’t be returning

Greenwich High Road - no aircon

Stayed at the Greenwich High Road hotel, great location and nice enough bar/restaurant area but avoid at all costs if the weather is over 20 degrees. The only aircon is ground floor, nothing in the rooms at all and the higher up you go the hotter it gets. We were 4th floor with a barely opening window & 2 pathetic fans, our room hit nearly 30 degrees so sleep was impossible! Massively unpleasant and it ruined an otherwise lovely weekend! Will never return, will stick to premier inn from now on, lesson learned.

Travelodge New Brighton Wallasey

Travelodge, New Brighton, Wallaesy, We didnt even last an hour before looking for a Premier Inn, rooms so small it felt like a prison cell, no airflow, which during a heatwave where it is atleast 10 degrees warmer than outside and you can barely crack the window is just not on in this day and age, tiny TV and bed, ive stayed in bad travelodges before but this was truly awful, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, the extra few quid to stay anywhere else is more than worth it, you've been warned.

Very poor customer service and deliberate premium rate numbers to deter you. I booked and they could easily have changed the date. After numerous calls and emails I got a partial resolution but no compensation for all the cost and time. Don't book with this unprofessional chain!! Avoid at all costs

Bradford South is the absolute pits

Bradford South is the absolute pits. Dirty. Broken lift. Unclean rooms. Didn’t take my rubbish. Didn’t clean the room. No free WiFi. Staff not helpful. They don't even look up when you walk in. Breakfast is very poor. Don't stay here, it's not even a one star hotel. It's not even a hotel.

Travel lodge Portsmouth Angels - Gillian and Lea

We stayed at the travel lodge in portsmouth as an overnight stop before catching a ferry to France. Our journey was a long one, all the way down from Yorkshire, so we arrived tired and ready for a rest. We have stayed at this Travel Lodge before and new the room we wanted was quiet. The two ladies on reception - Gillian and Lea - were outstanding!!! both very helpful in getting sorted both with our room and sending us around to the Pub next door for a well earned drink and food. Both Gillian and Lea made our journey a well worth trip with their greeting at reception.. I do hope to meet these two wonderful ladies again at our next trip to France. Thank you !!!

This was one of the worst stays I0ve ever had. A homeless man approached me in the staff toilets and the whole place had a strong smell of drugs. On top of that, the staff tried to force their way into my room, which made me feel extremely unsafe! AVOID.

Do not recommend

I did not realise that this company allows a US based company to manage bookings for it. This caused me to be charged about a third more and also not to receive a VAT invoice. I am VAT registered so this is a loss of 20%. When I asked to cancel the booking they refused.
Poor customer service and in breach of HMRC VAT regulations.

Stayed at a Travel Lodge never again

Stayed at a Travel Lodge - 28C outside and no air con in room. An old filthy, dusty fan was in the room which made absolutely no difference to the heat in the room. Requested towels etc to be changed - one large towel was left and two hand towels - all were dirty, the 2nd bath towel had been taken away. Beds are not made and tea, coffee, milk not replenished. I reported all to the Reception clerk who only apologised. I would never stay in a Travel Lodge again.

Dump

Dump, mis-managed. Had complaint and no management on site and when I asked to speak to someone on the phone, I was put through to the assistant manager and he told me he couldn't hear me on the phone and disconnected me......when the receptionist phoned him back he then told me he was "in the middle of something ' and too busy!! Noone talk to now until 7am tomorrow. Stay away if you want a decent hotel

Blade wielding cav

I have had one or two nice stays at travel lodge
But in may 2026 I did think being threatened with a knife was going a bit far on top of poor food, no service and non existent security.
Perhaps put staff through public relations courses, catering services and anger management before charging people to be abused.

the worst hotel i have ever stayed in

Hi, I hastily made a booking online for 1 nights stay in Droitwich on the 8th of May 2026,when i arrived at the hotel i was informed that the booking was for the 10th of May and infact the hotel was full for the 8th of May,I do not know how this mistake happened although i presume it was because of the booking procedure on your website and i was shown the next available date at this hotel as it was full
and i accidently booked the wrong date by mistake. I was assured by the reception that i could use this booking at another date and even in a different Travel lodge, so the person helped me book another Travel lodge hotel for the 8th of May in Broomsgrove which was the closest with availability.However when i attempted to change the original booking,as i had made a non refundable reservation , i found out it was only possible to change the date but i had to stay at Droitwich which as i was on my way home to Durham obviously i do not require staying there.Therefore i contacted customer services to obtain help with this mistake and i received a message stating that no one was available and i would be contacted soon , i was aware that i had until 12 pm on the 10th of May to change the booking however i did not receive a reply from customer service until after this date and so i was informed that it was know to late to change the booking and i have lost my payment.
I really feel that i have been caught in some kind of trap due to Travellodges rules and booking process on line ,it has left me feeling deceived after putting my trust in your company and i have in effect paid twice for 1 nights stay.Furthermore i can not understand how this sort of treatment of your customers can be allowed in this country and i am seriously considering contacting trading standards due to the service i have received

Absolutely rank at Rotherham central

Absolutely rank at Rotherham central. Poo marks on floor and broken AC held up with some sort of train pass and tapes!!!

Travelodge, you should be utterly embarrassed at the state of your hotel!!
