Travelodge London Clapham Junction

The staff were great, though I barely had any interaction with them. The room was far too hot with no air-conditioning, and opening the window only made the noise worse. I paid extra for a Super Room because it advertised blackout curtains, but they weren’t blackout and the room was tiny. Don’t waste your money. I stayed this week while working nights nearby and paid nearly £800 for the week. I’d get back around 05:00, then at 08:00 sharp the construction workers started banging on walls, shouting and dropping things on the roof. It sounded like things were falling through, and kept me awake. I understand they have a job to do, but guest comfort was completely disregarded. They should leave the noisier work until the afternoon. I couldn’t sleep anyway, but the curtains certainly didn’t help. Probably the worst hotel and week of my life. I won’t come back. There’s a Premier Inn down the road, and I’d suggest staying there.

The location in Clapham Junction was ideal, and both the room and service were great. I stayed for two weeks to visit family nearby, and Erasmo went well beyond what I expected. I couldn't recommend him or the hotel more.

The room was compact, but clean, quiet and comfortable. The coffee machine and Kit Kats in the premium room were a nice extra, and checking out at noon helped too. I wasn't expecting much, but paying extra for a room on the 7th floor worked out perfectly. The staff were friendly and kept my bag while I waited for the 3 pm check-in. When I came back to check in at 7 pm, the receptionist helped move me from a ground-floor twin to a corner double on the top floor.

The twin room was fine and about what you'd expect, though a little cold until we put the heating on. One receptionist was polite, friendly and helpful when we arrived. Later, when we asked for an extra towel because only one had been left, the receptionist on duty was rude. The location is hard to fault, right by the train station, with a bus stop opposite and cafes nearby. For the price and transport links, I'd possibly book again and would recommend it if you need a convenient base in London. The rest of our stay was fine.
