Didn't know Travelodge did single rooms.....until I ended up in one. I can deal with the spartan, and the flights of stairs, but to then find that minimalism amounted to a bed like I was balancing on a gymnasts beam, was too much.....especially for £71 for one night. Oh and the water didn't flow away from the shower and I... More

First the good news, the hotel is central for sight seeing. The room was clean on arrival and cleaned daily. The bad news, the room we were given is nothing like the rooms shown on the hotel's website. Ours was barely wide enough to accommodate the double bed. There is inadequate hanging space for clothing and no chest of draws... More

The motel itself was fine - the room was clean, the staff were unfailingly pleasant even when the door key kep refusing to work - overall, the usual Travelodge good value for money. On the downside, it is an old building - bit of a labyrinth with not very good sound proofing so being woken up by a couple having... More

Have stayed here three times now, usually Feb time for 2-3 days. This is an old hotel so its a bit more welcoming than your average Travelodge, The centre is a few minutes walk away over the roundabout facing the hotel. There's a Wetherspoons five minutes walk away if you need or want cheap food and beer. They serve food... More

I stayed here for one night, the price paid was peanuts, I have no complaints. Swift booking and standard Travelodge practices. Central location, ideal when visiting Canterbury. Excellent stay. I have no complaints.

Stayed at TL for 2 nights, ideally situated. Easy walking into Canterbury, and parking reasonable. Although we had prepaid for the breakfasts I wouldn't do this again. The breakfasts were very basic and you good get more choice in town. The room was clean and large. Staff very friendly and helpful, will recommend this TL and hopefully stay again.

OK this is a Travelodge, so don't expect toiletries and lavish furnishing and as I paid just £15 for a double room - I have no problem with that at all. If you want to be pampered, pay the extra ££s and go elsewhere. Our room had a lovely view of the Cathedral, and the hotel is ideally situated just... More

This was a very unpleasant experience. This used to be a lovely hotel until Travelodge ruined it. The towels were thin and hard, the bed was hard. There was no hairdryer. The room was very bare, the window ledge was rotting. The bar of soap was small, thin, hard and gritty, with an unpleasant smell and no foam. There were... More

I paid for a double room and was allocated a single room due to the overbooking policy this cheap brand of hotel seems to employ. I was then informed that I would then be duly compensated with a money off voucher for future visits but this has yet to materialise (after the reception told me that I would receive an... More
