Pros:

Disgusting! Hotel corridors stank of stagnant water and urine, stained carpets and couldn't tell the last time they even had a decent hoovering! Skirting boards and every edge was caked in dust.
Our room was just....NO! Again, dust everywhere, stains up the walls, walls dented and poorly maintained, bedding ripped and smelt funky, no plug sockets anywgere near the bed, so had to obtain an extension lead to run across the width of the room...this then posed a trip hazard! Carpet looked and felt filthy and the bathroom.....OMFG...Just awful, again not clean, toilet seat broken and gut wrenching filthy...hair in the sink and plug hole, floor just not even had a cats lick wash over!
This was a Christmas treat for us and this would've ruined it if it was for more than one night, luckily it was just one night, so we just chalked it up to experience and got on with making family memories.
NEVER will I ever recommend this hotel or even the chain to anyone, we have stayed in lovey ones before, this has just ruined it for us!

Wanna have a filthy room and watch as a car gets broken into in the car park?? Come on in.
Pros:

Bathroom filthy (we have the video to show this).
Bedsheets stained (we have the pictures).
Thick black hairs in the the beds (we are all blonde).
Cars getting broken into on the TL property (tick that box too).
Smells of weed in the halls.
No hoovering done at all…
Am I selling it yet?
Please do not bother with this hotel at all. The ONLY reason we stayed was because it was New Years and was struggling to find somewhere else to stay as a family of 4.

Disgusting
Pros:

Stayed for a week very disappointed, very dirty rooms was told they get cleaned daily although we found used fake eyelashes on the 4th night ( that we don’t use so not ours) had to complain to get bedding changed as the cleaners didn’t, all cleaners do is change bins don’t even hoover floors let alone make the beds. Would not stay again.

Extremely disappointed
Pros:

Extremely disappointed with the room. Dirty room and outdated decor. Very basic room and a really horrible smell in the room. Pillows smelt too. If we weren’t tired we’d have moved rooms. Definitely would not recommend staying there. Even put us off staying in Travelodge again.

Thank you Shika
Pros:

I would very much like to thank Shika from Travelodge Battersea, she was so very professional, helpful and kind and went beyond her duties to find and return a precious scarf to me that I had left behind in my room. I often stay in a Travelodge when visiting family and friends and they are always reliable for comfy clean accommodation but having great staff like Shika is truly priceless. Thank you

Amazing stay
Pros:

Room nice and tidy, with a comfortable bed Stayed here and was greeted by Samantha who gave us a warm welcome and got checked out by Esley who was lovely and let us store our luggage while we when out for breakfast. The hotel itself was clean and with a train station less than 10 minutes walk away.

Meal out at a Michelin star restaurant
Pros:

Ideal location for our visit to Joia at Battersea Power station . Good value for money. No bar on site but a nice pub across the road! Staff were very helpful as I left a pair of trousers behind. With the help of a prepaid self addressed envelope posted to the hotel my trousers are now back in my wardrobe!

Just avoid if you don't want your personal belongings to go 'missing'!
Pros:

Just avoid if you don't want your personal belongings to go 'missing'!

Most disappointing for us is the way that the dealt with our belongings. Lets just say, they were disinterested in giving us back my husbands bottle of Creed!! Despite writing over 5 emails, HO simply aren't interested in how their hotels and staff within operate. They eventually said there was nothing there, even though I had photographic evidence. Thanks for that, I hope someone there enjoys the bottle!!!!
The room stunk of cigarettes. Then found evidence of butts rammed down the plug hole...how the hell is this missed on a turnaround.
The general location of the hotel is okish, but not exactly Battersea, its on the far edge of, and not really walkable to the Power Station - I also wouldn't go out after dark.

You've been warned

Not recommended
Pros:

On arrival we were advised the room we had been allocated Reception were unable to locate the master key to generate a key to the room for us and therefore we had to be let in manually. We therefore had no key to our room for our stay!

We noted that the security door leading to the rooms did not require a key to allow entry (or if it did it was not working as we just walked through....).

The room itself had stained carpet, scruffy interiors and the bathroom was dusty with no soap in the dispenser at the sink.

The beds provided for the children were camping beds at best and extremely uncomfortable.

The only perk I will say is it was relatively quiet however we could not open the curtains with it being on the ground floor with a direct clear view in from the car park.

We left early in the morning as it was not the sort of hotel we wanted to hang around for too long. There was no one manning reception and again the door to the rooms could be openly accessed so really question security.

Shame as we have stayed in a number of Travelodges before and this has been the worst. Would rather pay a little more for a better hotel.

Best value option, friendly staff and great transport links!
Pros:

Maybe best value hotel in all of London! Short walk from Clapham Junction, Britain’s busiest rail hub with fast trains into London Victoria (10min) and Gatwick Airport (20min). Plenty of buses outside the doors to central London. Always clean, good size rooms with all necessary comfort, friendly and helpful staff. Extra gold star to the staff for being super friendly and helpful at this Travelodge!

Dirty, eerie and old.
Pros:

£350 for 2 nights doesn’t get you a lot these days.

Hotel was just really grim and eerie - corridors and rooms were really dated and just had a feeling of dirtiness. Stunk of bleach and weed. Bathrooms were horrendous, shower head wouldn’t adjust and the water came out so slow. Drafts coming through the windows, duvet was so thin, sheets were rough and pillows were flat.

Parking at the back but it costs £10/day.

I understand this is London but it’s just shocking what you receive these days for what I consider quite a bit of money.

Will never return.

Thank you Nilza
Pros:

I stayed here on 20–21 November and wanted to give special recognition to the receptionist, Nilza. She showed genuine kindness and care from the moment I arrived, and her approach made the entire check-in experience feel effortless after a long journey.

Nilza struck the perfect balance of professionalism and empathy, the sort of customer service you rarely see anymore. She made sure I felt looked after, nothing felt like too much trouble, and she created a very positive first impression of the hotel.

The room was comfortable and the facilities were exactly what I needed, but Nilza’s warm, thoughtful support is what stood out most during my stay. She’s a real credit to the team.

Thank you, Nilza, for making such a difference.
