Travel lodges are never going to be a swanky hotel. They are a cheap, basic place to kip while visiting somewhere.

I travelled here with my two mates for some shopping and a gig and stayed for one night. We got exactly what we expected from travel lodges which we usually stay in while we are often travelling around the UK.

The location is brilliant, it's right around the corner from the main shopping areas on Union Street. There is some noise on the front area as there are bars around the place so expect it all night. We coped all right with it.

The room was clean enough, spacious enough and the bathroom and beds, which are the main things when staying somewhere, were fine.

The lodge has a small bar, snack machines and an area to have the usual travel lodge buffet breakfast (the likes of toast, coffee, tea, orange juice, cereal, yoghurt, bacon, beans, sausages,..). It's £7.50 for that which is pretty expensive really so if you can be bothered you'd probably be better heading out and getting something elsewhere.

Service from staff was fine during our stay and they were friendly and reasonable (moved us from smoking room we had booked and not wanted to a non smoking).

So overall I'd say if you're on a budget and want to stay somewhere central for a short time then go for this place. If you want a comfortable, fancy hotel to stay longer in then go elsewhere as you may not get a good sleep for nights due to noise.

Just back from a 3 night stay in the Travel Lodge on Bridge Street Aberdeen. Absolute nightmare if you are expecting any sleep, I asked to be moved on the second night but all rooms were full, eventually got moved on the 3rd day only for my room to be given to some other poor soul. The staff fully understand that there are problems with certain rooms in this hotel but continue to put people in them, with no plans to improve the rooms!
If staying here a room at the rear of the hotel is a must.

My first night there got absolutely no sleep whatsoever - thanks to the bars and nightclubs across the road, and the bus stop under my window. Thankfully was moved to a quieter room towards the end of the week!
Staff were very friendly and nice, cafe/bar was good, and very good location.
