Advantages: clean, helpful staff, easy to find, cheap tastey meals

Disadvantages: basic

I stayed in the Covent Garden Travel lodge mid-week in a double room, costing me £80 for a two night stay, (£40 each night including breakfast) though i booked last minute so it may be possible to book cheaper.

My first impression of the travel lodge was it was pretty big and needed a lick of paint on the outside! However when entering reception/main lobby it is very modern and sparkling clean!

Checking in was simple, the staff were very friendly and full of usful information about the hotel and about London itself. They couldnt do enough for us and were very easy to approach when we needed directions to the Hard Rock cafe one evening.

The room itself was very clean, with a comfy double bed, wardrobe, desk, big mirrors and a TV. There is also a little kettle, coffee and tea which was much appreciated after our long trip to get to london! The room was clean although a little basic but fufilled our needs completely during our stay. The bathroom was also very clean, with a toilet, sink, HUGE mirror and a bath/shower as well as a complementary soap! The towels were also replaced every day which was a bonus!

We found the rooms very quiet, although it was mid-week and on the booking page, it warns it may get noisey dur to its location of near-by night clubs. When booking you are clearly told this, so we were surprised when we had two very peaceful nights sleep.

Finally the restaurant! yum!! the food was quickly prepared, came to the table hot and was very tastey! Also it is pretty cheap, most food is under £8 and you get a big plateful!!
Also the buffet breakfast in the morning was very good too, we had pre-booked breakfast online, so got it a couple of pound cheaper. Breakfast is served 7-10am and includes the usual cereal, toast, sausages, juice, tea cofee etc.

Overall it was a very peacful, stressfree stay at the travel-lodge, i would definitley reccommed the one at convent gardens as it's cheap accommodation for budget-travelers!

Summary: a great place to stay for people on a budget.
