Travelodge London Barking

Access into the hotel after checking in, requires an access card which removes the need for room keys in the lift. Room doors were quite hard to push. Room was clean. Windows open and close with automated switches, but I couldn't figure out how to get the curtains open. Bed was comfortable enough. No mini-fridge but a good blend of teas, the usual coffee sachets and choice of sweeteners. TV was small with tinny audio The bathroom was clean. However, there was a missing circular plug (above the mirror), which given the number of rodents spotted outside in the square, was a bit unnerving. Wires could be seen running, so it must be access for some type of electrics. Sealant was not completely run on the left side of the sink. I would have preferred to have the light switch on the inside of the bathroom, for obvious reasons.

No amenities, no services provided, rooms are cleaned after seven nights, no Internet , only 14 inches TV and no international channels, very boring.

Great stay, ignore all current reviews. Staff are pleasant and friendly. Great location easy to access only 40 mins to central London. 20 mins from the 02, only 13 pound ins Uber. Great location for the 02.

Enjoyed my stay.

A functional hotel in a very convenient location for anyone staying in Barking or wanting to travel into London.

My grandson and his girlfriend booked this Travel Lodge 5wks in advance of arrival. Room was booked for 3pm, arrived 2.45, my grandson was flatly turned away because he was 17, his girlfriend is 18, this was asked b4 booking was accepted, they were turned down by a girl called Sharnice on front desk, this was in Barking miles away from home. They tried to book into another hotel close by but were unsuccessful, only because of intervention from my grandsons girlfriends mother calling the hotel did they accept them back at the Travel Lodge. They were then given a single room between them that had only just been vacated, not clean, single bed, wet shower. They went to the concert that was booked and when coming back to the Travel Lodge a different lady was on reception and gave them the proper room they'd booked and apologised for Sharnice being so dispicably rude to my grandson and his girlfriend. Checkout was 12noon nxt day, at 10am someone was trying to open their bedroom door, when my grandson went to see who was there, it was Sharnice and another member of staff running off down the corridor. This is totally unacceptable and unprofessional and put my grandson and his girlfriend in what could have been a dangerous position by not being able to have a safe place to stay, angry beyond words
