Great find
Pros:

We were pleased to find that the renovations seemed to be mostly complete (apart from stairways and an issue with the front entrance meaning we were directed to the cafe /bar entrance). We had been allocated a room on the 5th floor roadside and it was quiet and spotless, nice to have charging points by the bed and tea/coffee facilities. Only criticism was shower pressure and lack of shampoo, (although my friend thought the shower pressure was fine so I may have high expectations). Reception was friendly and helpful, my friend was a little bit cold on the first night so asked for an extra blanket and although they weren't able to provide any extra bedding they did provide a heater.
The cafe /bar is a lovely space with plenty of options for seating. Also very reasonably priced breakfast for an unlimited buffet and again very helpful smiley staff.

An excellent stay in F travelodge, Farringdon Road London. Staff could not have been more welcoming and attentive. Bedroom and bed very comfortable and cafebar and staff could not have been better. Thou roughly enjoyed my 3nights at this hotel and in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger.‘I’ll be back!’ A big thank you to the staff at Travelodge, Farringdon Road, London.

Good for Location
Pros:

Location: Good. Although called Travelodge Farringdon was nearer to Kings Cross Station. Lots of lovely bars and restaurants in Farringdon would definitely recommend Cafe Maya for Breakfast.
Super Rooms: Has fridge, iron and ironing board and coffee machine which are all great extras. However in order to get larger room they have compromised bathroom. Bathroom only slightly longer than toilet. And width from door to toilet is toilet width. My partner is fairly broad and his shoulders filled the space when standing at of sitting on loo.
Cleanliness: Was nice to see hard floors rather than dingy carpets as in other travelodges but on hard floor you could see all the dirt snd dust that hadn't been cleaned up. I walked bare foot from bedroom to shower and my feet covered in fluff and dirt! When leaving saw housekeeper in room. They don't physically clean instead just send in small round robot cleaner.
Restaurant: Tried breakfast one morning. Everyone was asking when hot stuff coming out. Bread for toast etc. Wasn't overly busy but after 15 mins wait got few hot items. Was never fully replenished. Second day went to cafe up the street.

Wonderful Overnight Stay
Pros:

We chose to stay at Travelodge Farringdon as it is a short walk from St Pancras and approx 30min walk from the theatres so meant we didn't have to mess around with public transport.
The hotel room itself was lovely and clean with a very spacious shower in the bathroom and even though we were situated toward the front of the hotel, the overnight noise was minimal so we slept well.
We booked in for breakfast in the morning with Roshinie, who was a super polite and lovely host, and enjoyed cereal, toast and a full English which also had vegetarian options available, alongside plenty of refillable hot drinks.
I would definitely stay here again :)

Mixed reviews and not worth the upgrade.
Pros:

We paid for an upgrade to a Superoom as we were staying for 4 nights.
The room was much smaller than on our previous visits to Travelodges in Kings Cross. No WiFi code was given, no complimentary water in the minibar. We were questioned about an email that we should have received with a WiFi code but we were given the code.
The positives - the bins were emptied every day and fresh towels provided.
We had an iron and an ironing board and also a hairdryer.
The negatives - room not swept or hoovered once during stay even though the rooms are laminate now. Shower cubicle not cleaned. Very limited toilet roll supplied and the hand soap was practically empty when we arrived and never topped up.
When we asked for water we were told that these was a limit of 1 can per room per stay even though the website offers both still and sparkling.
The coffee machine was never emptied of pods so we had to find a YouTube video for guidance.

Safe and secure
Pros:

We arrived on Friday 27 February from Kent. Went out for a lovely evening and returned ‘happy’. I would like to say a special thank you to the security man who was patrolling the rooms around 12.30am. Thankfully he noticed we hadn’t locked our door. He knocked to wake us for our own safety. Thank you

Mediocre
Pros:

To follow on from a previous comment about gluten free breakfast they now do not offer gluten free bread because it might get contaminated if I toast it! I just wanted bread and am able to make sensible decisions for myself! Ridiculous.

A newly refurbished hotel
Pros:

I had a wonderful experience at Travelodge London Farringdon. I was checked in by Vesela, who was incredibly welcoming and made the whole process smooth and pleasant. She informed me about the first breakfast opening the following morning, which was very helpful. It was also great to see how attentive she is with her team. Great asset to Travelodge. Will be deffinitelly returning.

Happy customers
Pros:

Central and Easy location to get to. Great value for money when booked in advance. The room had been recently renovated so was clean and fresh. It was very quiet in the evening despite being close to the life. The staff were lovely and friendly, a special shout out to Mathometha who was helpful, kind and smiley. They did a great job of setting up breakfast for the first time since their renovation. Delicious sausages!
