This hotel has one thing going for it, it's location is amazing! Walking distance from so many things, Covent Garden of course, Theatre land, Trafalgar Square, British Museum, Oxford Street etc...
The Hotel itself is very basic but if you just want somewhere to sleep it is fine. Try to get a room high up or it will be noisy.
They have this silly thing where you cannot check i not even a minute before 3pm so you might be in a very long queue, this is all very silly as the staf are probably sitting around doing not much before 3pm. They really need to review this.
The room was a bit grubby but ok for one night.
Breakfast was fine, enough for me anyway the eating area is small so if you get up late there will be a queue. Might be best not to book breakfast and eat in one of the many eating places around about.
Would I recommend it? Yes but not for more than a night or 2 and the main reason for recomending it is location and not much else.

We did pay more as we'd left it late to book a room, and it was the cheapest we could find in the vicinity.

We stayed in the older building, which was easy to find after a short walk from Holborn underground.

The check-in queue was not long as we'd checked in at around 3-4pm.

The room was very hot, and despite leaving the window ajar when we'd gone out, it was still very hot, so I wouldn't recommend staying there when it's warm, as the room we stayed in was not air-conditioned. Bizarrely, the corridors outside our room were!

We did not find it noisy staying on the third floor, and had a view of some housing blocks and an outdoor swimming pool.

The bathroom was clean. The bed was clean. Yes the room was in need of a tiny bit of refurbishment, but overall was absolutely fine.

The room was also quite big, and had a flatscreen tv. (We'd stayed in a 4 star hotel in Bloomsbury last time- "superior room" which was very small in comparison.)

I would stay here again as it was very close to where we needed to be. However, I would stay in the colder months, and would book in advance to take advantage of the lower price for the room.

Well, what can I say? Shabby, smelly rooms, bitten by bugs, uncomfy beds, dreadful 'sofa bed' that they expect children to sleep on, security issues and very poor breakfast.....

The best thing about this hotel is the location. Only minutes away from Covent Garden and the tube stations. That I feel is the only positive point I can make. Fortunately we only stayed for 1 night.

We had to leave the window open all the while because room had a strange smell - kind of like sweaty socks!! The sofa bed was falling apart and our children were not impressed when we informed them that was where they had to sleep. The bed wasn't much better. It was very lumpy and you could feel the springs. Upon waking in the morning I was covered in bites.

Do Not leave any valuables in your room. Someone else in our party also staying there was given a key card for their room and upon opening the door to what they thought was their room turned out to be already in use by other hotel guests and had all their belongings in there. Good job they are honest people and shut the door immediately and went back down to reception.

Breakfast isn't very good value. It's the bare minimum. Sure you'd get a lot better in one of the many eateries around.

This hotel has fabulous views if you are lucky enough to get a room in the building on the corner of High Holborn & Museum St and are located on high floor. The rooms are huge although feel spartan. My first room had a mattress that kept me awake all night due to being able to feel the springs through the top layer. I secured a different room on my 2nd, 3rd & 4th nights and the mattress was much improved. My big bug-bear with this hotel is its poor value for money. I paid £102 per night for room only. My view is that unless you are getting a discount for staying more than one night that the room should be presented to the same high standards on each and every night (i.e. as if it's your 1st night every night). Travelodge doesn't share my view - the bedding was not changed and the miniscule bar of soap had to last me 4 nights. If I'd paid £29 per night (Travelodge continually promote their £19/£29 offers which is fine if you want to stay on a Sunday in November) then I wouldn't have minded. Those of us that have to be in London on business - and have to pay for the room ourselves can feel nothing but cheated. This hotel is a bit like a bus station too and checkin was laboured - having to queue in order for the reception staff to treat you as if they are doing you a huge favour to let you pay £102 to stay. Luckily I've now found b&b agencies with rates half that of Travelodge.
