Travelodge London Farringdon

Greeted by a smiley and cheerful Hon at check in. Had a little ‘hick up’ with room which was sorted again by Hon in a swift friendly manner. Thank you

Han and Alex were very helpful and friendly

The hotel was being refurbished, but we weren't informed, so we arrived in a complete construction site with noisy workmen all over the place, dust, a strong smell of paint, no bar, no restaurant and half completed rooms. In our super room several lights did not function, no lavazza coffee pod machine, no hot chocolate, no promised treat, no bigger television screen, no unlimited wifi...In our friends room the toilet was broke, so they had to change for another room, standard, with no refund for the extra we paid. Rooms were not cleaned.

Had the pleasure (sarcasm) of experiencing two different rooms.

The first room was outdated but actually dangerous
- less then 1ft between the edge of the bed and the desk chair meaning we had to squeeze by
- the shower pumped out boiling water for a few seconds every 30 seconds, long enough to get scalded the first few times it happened!

The second room was bigger and modern- but being on the west side meant we felt and heard the under ground every 5 minutes- starting at 5 am in the morning.

Still waiting for the refund on the breakfast which wasn’t available on the day but yet was available to book in advance!

Booked a room just after New Year and paid for breakfast. Wasn’t aware of the refurbishment as it wasn’t clear on their website. When checked website after our visit it clearly states cafe and breakfast available but further down it then states in amongst the refurb print that no cafe or breakfast is available. Not very clear at all.
We booked in and wasn’t informed of no availability for breakfast. We woke up the following morning to go and find breakfast to be told it wasn’t available. However, we could go and use the Travelodge down the road for breakfast and pay extra there even though we had already paid!!
The rooms smelt strongly of paint which made it an uncomfortable stay.
We had a so called Super room which had been refurbished. The bed base was falling apart. There were paint splatters all over the floor. The new shower had a shower curtain which came up short and floods the very small bathroom. As the shower was so small you stuck to the shower curtain!!!
I sent a letter of complaint in only to be told sorry, but it’s being refurbished!!! They knew about no breakfast being available during our stay but were happy to take our money!!
I won’t be using Travelodge again!!!

I wouldn’t bother using a Travelodge again.

Excellent location although it's no where near Farringdon as the name suggests. Stayed before and was good this time they had painted and did not ventilate so the room was full of fumes. I enjoyed the stay but wouldn't stay again and chance the health and safety risk such a shame all it would of taken is an email to warn us they were painting. I did read some bad reviews but didn't think they would still be open if there was any truth in them. Oh well good why it lasted, never again.

The hotel is being refurbished, so you get a really bad deal: a very dated room at a building site! They really should not take bookings or if nothing else, they should let you know ahead. Staff in reception were friendly and did their best. The only good thing I can say is that the bed was comfortable.

My daughter booked 2 double rooms B&B on the 13th December 2025 for the 14th February 2026 for 1 night as we were booked for a matinee theatre show in the West End . The theatre show started at 14.30pm so she paid an early access / checkin for one of the rooms so we could all leave a travel cases in the room . She paid extra for the early check in due to rooms not being available .
We were then told ( despite booking it ) that breakfast was not available anymore due to ongoing building works .
After the theatre show and while dining in a restaurant she received a telephone call from the hotel telling her all the rooms were now taken ( despite having paid for her room 6 weeks prior ) and her room was no longer available. She was told to use another Travel Lodge in Waterloo . This meant she had to return to Farringdon to collect her luggage to then travel to Waterloo and back again the next day to join myself and my wife. This totally took away the great weekend feeling .
Question. Why didn’t they inform us breakfast was no longer available prior to checking in. If she had knot she would have booked an alternative hotel?
Question. How can your room be no longer available when you have paid for it .
Totally disgusting the way she / we were treated . Be careful using this business 👎

Really awful stay. Was given a twin room when I had paid for a double. The bed was tiny and I kept waking up during the night every time I turned over because I thought I would fall out! Place was being refurbished, no bar, no breakfast room. Wasn’t made clear on site as far as I could see. Workman and dust everywhere. And they had the cheek to charge full price for the stay.

The customer service was excellent. Hanin was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the prices were very affordable. I highly recommend it for families and anyone looking for great service and comfortable sleeping”

Hotel not as advertised at point of booking. Clearly advertised bar/ catering, let me book and pay for breakfast. After payment made and a few days before I arrived they advised no catering . Not allowed to cancel. Hotel was a building site, smelt of paint, banging / drilling noise. I advised I was female travelling alone and needed facilities on site. Company had no interest in this . Questionable whether they care about safety of their customers. Dishonest really. Woukd not trust Travel Lodge again

Ali is cool guy renewed my key for my room

Room neat, clean and tidy.
Good for us for London Archive.
Value for money
The receptionist Daniela was very efficient, knows her job well. Interested in us
Very engaging and was exceptionally skilled at putting us at our ease. Thank you

Room was not very clean the table was sticky with coffee stains it had not been cleaned. Bin had a small amount of rubbish inside. Sink had hairs. Bathroom floor was not clean.

Good couple of nights stay - this despite some ongoing refurb work. Clean & good value. Well located near Kings Cross and right on bus route. Staff were all helpful

During our business meeting and stay by my colleagues Vesela provided an exemplary standard of service throughout our stay. She was consistently professional, composed, and attentive, demonstrating clear ownership of the guest experience from arrival through to check-out. Her proactive approach at departure, taking time to confirm all expectations had been met, reflected strong leadership instincts and a genuine commitment to service excellence. A credit to the team.

Vesela was amazing. Thank you.
I had to write at least 100 characters.
Soooo…

Our stay at Travelodge Farringdon came with an unexpected VIP moment, thanks to the amazing security guard, Ali.
Parking was full when we arrived, but Ali didn’t just help, he legend-level helped. He actually offered to move his own car so we could park. Who does that? Absolute star behaviour. Super professional, incredibly kind, and made us feel welcome from the second we arrived. Add to that a big friendly smile and great attitude, and you’ve got someone who truly represents hospitality at its best.
Also… let’s be honest… handsome young guy too 😂
The room was really nice, clean, and comfortable. There was some noise earlier in the day, likely due to refurbishment works, but it stopped after 4pm, so no issues in the evening at all.
Overall, a great stay made even better by Ali’s outstanding service. Travelodge Farringdon is lucky to have him. Would happily stay again

Your receptionist Daniela was fantastic and very accommodating. 5 stars!

A wonderful experience from start to finish—thank you, and special thanks to Daniella in particular for her professionalism, attentiveness, and care throughout.
