Travelodge

Booked a room in Newcastle on the app for a night out with mates. Confirmation was instant and the check in was quick, just a digital key on my phone. Room was clean and the bed was comfy enough after a few drinks. Nothing more to say really.

We had a wedding in a village outside Hull with nowhere to stay nearby, so we booked a couple of rooms. Booking was simple and the price was lower than the pubs with rooms. The room was clean but the air con was a bit noisy at night. Good value for what we needed.

I've used these for work trips around the country for years and the rooms are always the same standard. Booking the usual branch in Glasgow took a couple of minutes on the site. The room was clean, the desk and wifi did what they needed to, and the price is hard to beat for what you get. Nothing has changed much in years which suits me fine.

Needed somewhere cheap to crash after seeing a band in Manchester and not wanting to pay city centre prices. Booked on the app in about two minutes and it was sorted. Room was small but clean, bed was comfy, shower was hot. Walked to the venue in ten minutes. Would do it again no question.

We drove down to visit our son in Cardiff and needed somewhere to stop overnight. The room was neat and the bed was supportive, which was a relief after the long drive. Staff were polite and helpful with directions to the local shops. It was good value for a sensible choice.

We stayed for two nights in Exeter while visiting my sister. The price was the main reason we chose it and it came in lower than the other places we'd looked at. The room is looking a bit tired now, with some marks on the walls and a carpet that needs replacing. The bed was fine and the bathroom was clean. It did the job.

We needed a room for one night after our car broke down on the M6 and we were stuck near Warrington. Booked it on my phone from the car park while the recovery truck was sorting things out. The confirmation came through straight away and the room was ready when we got there late. Bit of a long drive in the morning but the bed was fine and we got some sleep.

Stayed one night in Bristol with my flatmate and it was honestly fine. Booked it the night before on the app and it was cheap, which was the main thing. Room was small and the wifi was a bit patchy but the bed was comfy and everything was clean. Would book again if I was passing through.

Got a room for two nights on our trip to the Lakes. The price was the best I found for the dates and it came in under what we'd budgeted. Room was small, nothing to write home about, but everything worked and it was clean. We'd book it again for the price alone.

Easily the best value for a midweek night in London that I have found. The room was small but well laid out, with a proper desk for working, and the bed was comfy. Check in took two minutes and the wifi held up fine for video calls. I stayed three times last quarter and will keep booking these.

Compared with booking a Premier Inn near the station, this was a fair bit cheaper for the same night in Leeds. Room was clean and the bed was comfy enough, bathroom was small but fine. Checked in quickly at the desk and the staff were friendly enough. Would stay again for a one night trip.

Room was lovely and the price was spot on for a night in Bath. Checking in took ages though, queue of about ten people and only one desk open. Tiny bit annoying but fine.

Used to stay in the pricier chains for work but this is a fair bit cheaper for the same sort of room. Checked in at the desk, room was tidy, wifi was decent enough for emails. Didn't need anything else. Good for a quick business trip away.

Looked at a few places near the station before picking this one and it was a fair bit under the rest. The lift was the detail that stood out most, which saved us lugging the bags up three floors.

Tried to book through the site and the payment kept failing then it charged me twice. Had to ring the number and wait ages before anyone sorted the refund out. Room itself was alright, but the whole thing was a faff.

The nightly rate was lower than anything else I looked at for our weekend in York, which was the first thing I noticed. Beds were firm and the room was tidy. Staff were pleasant and didn't mind us arriving a bit late. Paid less than I expected and didn't need to spend extra on anything.

Booked the Birmingham hotel for a night while I was at a conference at the NEC. Booking through the site was easy enough. Room was clean but the wifi kept dropping and the desk took a while to answer my message about it. Fine for sleeping though.

Needed a cheap room near the airport for an early flight. Found the rate on the site and it was less than half of the hotels nearby. Room was basic but clean and the shower worked. Good enough for a few hours sleep before the flight.

We booked a family room for the two nights we needed in Sheffield while we sorted out my brother's funeral arrangements, and I'll say it was very comfortable and quiet for what we needed. The booking itself was straightforward on the website, though I did have to ring them once to confirm the bed type. Staff were polite on the desk and the room was kept spotless throughout our stay. We'd use them again if we're up that way.
