I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms - they were very comfortable, modern, and impeccably clean. The only downside was the lack of soundproofing from the corridor. The hotel exceeded my expectations, especially compared to other places I've stayed in before.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were of a high standard in terms of comfort and cleanliness, although the carpet could have used a good vacuuming. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, especially with accommodating my requests, but there were a couple of instances where communication seemed challenging. The location was convenient with easy access to transportation, but noise could be an issue on warm nights. The dining experience was of very good quality, although the setting felt outdated. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I found the hotel to be a solid choice overall. The rooms were clean and did the job, equipped with essential amenities. The buffet breakfast was decent, though the mattress felt a bit cheap. The service was informative, but confirming details could be a bit slow. The location was convenient for transport options, but the late-night fire alarm incident caused some disturbance. The dining experience was average with some room for improvement in explanation and variety. The facilities met basic needs with room for enhancement.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant one. The room was very economical, comfortable, and exceptionally clean, making it one of the best travel lodges I've visited recently. However, there were some disturbances from the noise in the corridor at night due to internal doors slamming. On the bright side, despite the nearby building work, the room remained quiet.

The hotel's location was great, especially for exploring Horton, Shoreditch financial area, and being close to Old St station connecting to Euston and Kings Cross. While it was relatively convenient for transportation, the nearby nightclub caused some noise. On a positive note, it's opposite the historic Bunhill Fields Burial Ground, offering a unique experience.

The dining experience had its ups and downs. The breakfast offerings were below average, and the evening meal we ordered in the restaurant was not as expected. However, the staff were friendly, and they served home-made jams. The pricing seemed fair for some items but could be improved for the overall quality.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms felt a bit worn out, and there was some noise from other guests at night, but being away from the road meant it was quiet internally. I was expecting a nicer, modern room with air conditioning. The service was accommodating, allowing me to use the fridge for my eye drops, although the check-in process was a bit slow. The location was excellent, surrounded by various dining options and tube stations for easy transportation. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a buffet setup, but there were some crowds during meals. Overall, the facilities were functional, but some aspects needed improvement.

The hotel is a great choice overall with good service and quiet rooms at the back of the hotel. The dinner deals are worth it, and the breakfast is very satisfying. The hotel maintains usual Travelodge standards, and the room price, especially for London, is reasonable. Booking early can secure a good deal.

The rooms were surprisingly spacious and quiet, offering essential amenities like tea/coffee making facilities, an iron, ironing board, and a hairdryer.

The hotel offers everything we need, and the rooms, although not very big, are comfortable. It feels a bit like a dungeon, but the service was exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were excellent, spacious, comfortable, clean, and beautifully done up. However, they can get very hot in the summer, which was a bit uncomfortable. It was a bit disappointing that the room was only 'made up' if you hang a sign on the door, which I didn't notice, so I didn't have fresh towels or a made bed on my return for the second night. Overall, the rooms are well-appointed despite the glazing issue.

The service at the hotel was a bit of a mix. While most staff were friendly and very professional, there was an instance where I felt ignored as one staff member started talking to their colleague without greeting me.

The hotel's location is top-notch! You can easily walk to the Tube station, and it's near a Tesco Extra, restaurants, cafes, and the Shoreditch nightlife. It's great that it's only a 5-minute walk to the Old City underground station, making it very convenient to access all the hotspots.

The hotel is in a convenient location, near the underground with easy access to tube stations. The rooms, although a bit cramped with fold-away beds, had necessary amenities but lacked proper glazing and had a drainage smell. The service was professional and helpful, though communication with the room maid could be challenging. The dining options were acceptable but not exceptional. Overall, a good choice for a weekend stay with reasonable value for money.
