What are the rooms like?
The 72 rooms certainly feel new, with that smell of fresh carpet lingering throughout.
The newly designed Standard rooms have all you need without the frills – large king-size beds, complimentary tea and coffee and Freeview TVs as well as a personal highlight – USB plugs by the bed.
Or there is the SuperRoom, which has all of the above while being on quieter floors, along with extras such as Lavazza coffee machines, hairdryers and irons.
The en-suite bathrooms are simple but functional, with towels and toiletries.
Rooms start at £60 a night.
What is there to eat and drink there?
The hotel has a restaurant, serving classics such as penne arrabbiata or Punjabi chicken curry.
But being so close to some of London’s finest, you are spoilt for choice, with Argentinian food at Malevo or the French Pique-Nique.
Visit on the weekend for the Maltby Street Market just around the corner where you can dine on a range of cuisines, snacks and drinks.
Thankfully the Travelodge breakfast will cure any latenight headaches.
What else is there to do at the hotel?
Don’t expect any gyms or spas, it is a Travelodge after all.
But round the corner is Tower Bridge, while in the other direction you have the Fashion and Textile Museum.
London Bridge station is a 12-minute walk away.
Is the hotel family-friendly?
Yes, there are cots available on request, with kids eating breakfast for £1.
Is there access for guests with disabilities?
There are a number of accessibility rooms at the hotel, including with wet rooms, although it is advised to get in touch with the hotel.
