Travelodge London City Airport

Very convenient location near London city airport. Room basic but pretty comfortable for a one-night stopover before an early flight. Only downside was we had issues with our room key. Having waited whilst their system rebooted we trekked to the end of a third floor corridor (carpets + wheelie suitcases = hard work) neither key worked. On reporting to the front desk we were given another room instead - not sure why they couldn’t reset the key. Overall, though, it was decent

an affordable, comfy hotel. The room we got only had one bed for the two of us. The tram right next to the hotel might wake you up in the morning, no biggie. There's dinner and a breakfast buffet for about $12:50, the breakfast was smart plays if you're hungry and don't plan to eat until later. There's an awesome bush park nearby with a neat history in being a boat yard. There's lime bikes a few buildings down towards London if you wanna ride into town - just make sure you have internet. The tram stops are also located somewhat close to the hotel, which is convenient. overall a good hotel :D

Staff were nice but overall bad and uncomfortable. All weekend, desk staff were giving out keys to anybody who requested any room number’s key (without even asking the name of the room’s owner). I was constantly paranoid that anyone could have come into our room at anytime because of this. Also, carpet stains, plus room service refused to service the room during our stay (stayed 4 days but never got the bins or towels changed without having to call the front desk to do so, even though we had the Top Up sign on the door every day.)

Rooms are good size, and the bathroom and showers are good.
Service was good (however communication was less apparent due to the kitchen having an incident and was closed, but we were not notified and had to go to the nearby travel lodge 5 mins away (not a major issue, just something more of an inconvenience)
Parking was £9 per day for guests instead of the £15.
Location was 10 minute walk from city airport and the DLR tube which was good for using the tube in to the city centre.

Great hotel next to the airport, I could only occasionally hear plane/train noise. Booked an upgraded room, it was very clean and the bed was quite comfortable. A few things were a little dated, but when booking an airport hotel one isn't booking for luxury. Breakfast was good, buffet style with a range of options. Check-in and check-out was extremely easy. I would stay here again if flying into/out of London City Airport.

All staff were friendly and helpful but I did not sleep because I suspect the mattress is memory foam and I never can sleep on it. The coffee in the room and downstairs is the worst I have ever had. The meal of steak pie, mash and peas was terrible. I enjoyed the mash but the peas were like bullets and I genuinely could not cut through the crust on top of the pie which I then found to have good gravy but hardly any meat. The pancakes were like leather and my spoon failed to cut through them. It is such a shame because there were new carpets since my last visit and the hotel is looking very good. It is also a shortish walk to the entrance to London City Airport. If it wasn't for the abysmal food and coffee and the bed, I would give the hotel five stars. To repeat, the staff could not be faulted. They were excellent.

Comfortable, clean room and beds. Lovely hot shower. Quick check in. But room cold, discovered heating unplugged. Restaurant closed at 9pm instead of advertised 10pm. Also not enough towels provided. Man working on the bar was very helpful - thank you.

Excellent find. Loads of parking at good fair pricing or free for disabled guests. The accessible rooms are on the lower ground which isn't my preferred option as a wheelchair user, however the staff went through extensive options and asked questions about the assistance required in an evacuation situation so I felt reassured.
