I just got back from London, and my friend and I stayed for four nights in the Travelodge Farringdon. The room was nothing fancy, but it was clean and comfortable. I'd recommend doing what I did, which is bring your own blanket and sleep on top of the provided comforter because the mattresses are not really that comfortable... but I was fine sleeping on top of the comforter. It can be a bit noisy at night, so if you're a light sleeper I'd suggest earplugs. The bathroom wasn't huge, but it was big enough. The TV only gets 4 channels... but are you really in London to watch TV?

Don't try to check in early, because they won't let you. They also have no place to store your luggage until your room is ready. We did have a little trouble checking in, but that was our travel agent's fault. Our reservation was supposed to have been switched from another hotel, but the travel agency neglected to actually make the switch, so the Travelodge did not have record of a reservation for us. However, the staff on duty were very helpful in allowing us to use the phone to contact the travel agency.

The hotel is a little far from any underground stations, but it's only a 10-15 minute walk. Overall, we had a nice stay and I definitely think the hotel was fine for what we paid.

Stayed here at the weekend and had a couple of fairly bad nights' sleep! We heard noise from other rooms (walls are very thin!) and other guests coming and going. I appreciate that the hotel can't control the behaviour af all guests but the doors seem to be designed to slam at maximum volume as soon as you let them go, so the most considerate person can't help but make a noise!
Was also only supplied with 2 towels, despite it being a family room that sleeps 3 adults. This always happens in Travelodges and is very annoying.
In general I like Travelodges; they are cheap and convenient. But I'll be giving this one a miss in the future!

I stayed here for 3 nights, and the rooms were quite new and modern, but make sure you ask for a double room, because orginally I was allocated a single room, and walked into to find a shoe box room, with hardly any room to swing a bat! The double room was quite roomy, but the bathrooms are still quite small compared to some travelodges I've stayed in before. The room was nice and clean though, but the traffic and noise outside is quite loud at times, so not to good if your a light sleeper. Also you can feel the trains go past as well.

The travelodge is location in between Farrington Station and Kings Cross, so it was a bit out of the way for me. Especially if you need to commute to the centre of london everyday.

Not a bad place to stay, and probably be even better when the refurbishment is complete.

Not a good experience. Hotel just opened after refurb - heating broken -unable to have bath/shower due to water being brown! - no tea/coffee facilities - television unviewable - no info available as to breakfast arrangements - told if wanted english would need to go to Travelodge Islington - staff tried to be as helpful as they could (gave extra duvets to keep warm) but difficult to communicate. We only paid £25 for a double room and lived to tell the tale but if we had taken our 7 year old with us it would not have been so good. It is a shame Travelodge do not seem to have got their act together as these problems should have been relatively easy to overcome and it would then have been a good base to visit london.

Great value for money. tube station short 10 minute (if that) walk away. clean rooms with daily maid service. lifts brand new !! friendly staff. A pleasant 2 nights stay. After reading some of the reviews on here I was wondering whether or not these people stayed at the same place. As for the comment about the tube station being 20 mins walk away I can only think they walked to the wong tube station - next time they should ask the friendly staff directions.
