Travelodge London Central City Road - A Refined Urban Retreat
Located just a stone's throw from the financial heart of the city, the Travelodge London Central City Road offers a surprisingly serene base amidst the urban hum. This hotel, ingeniously crafted within the former Singer sewing machine building, provides a practical yet comfortable haven for discerning travellers, merging its historic shell with contemporary comforts.
Location
Positioned at the intersection of City Road and Tabernacle Street, the hotel places guests within easy reach of London's most compelling attractions. A mere 100 metres past Finsbury Square, it's ideally situated for exploring the West End's theatres and shopping, as well as the trendy East London districts like Shoreditch. The Barbican Centre, a cultural nexus known for its innovative arts programming, is a short walk away, as are landmarks such as St Paul's Cathedral and the Museum of London. While City Road itself features essential conveniences like Pod Cafe and Sainsbury's, the true draw is the city's vast offering just beyond the immediate vicinity.
Style and Character
The transformation of the listed Singer building into a modern hotel is a noteworthy achievement. While specific design details from the refurbishment are not extensively detailed, the creation of a contemporary hotel within a historic structure suggests an appreciation for architectural heritage. The atmosphere is designed for relaxation, a quietude carefully cultivated to offer respite after a day of theatre visits or exploration.
Service and Facilities
The Travelodge London Central City Road provides essential services befitting a city hotel. Guests can expect a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, and the convenience of 24-hour check-in. The hotel features an on-site restaurant and bar, catering to guests' dining needs throughout the day and evening. While comprehensive spa facilities are absent, the emphasis is on providing a comfortable and efficient stay.
Rooms
The hotel offers a range of room types designed for comfort. Standard double rooms feature a king-size bed adorned with four plump pillows and a cosy duvet, alongside complimentary tea and coffee making facilities and hand, hair & body wash in refurbished shower rooms. For an elevated experience, the SuperRooms are a considered choice, offering enhanced comforts such as a choice of hypoallergenic pillows (firm or soft), blackout curtains, and mood lighting for a truly restful night. All rooms include ensuite shower rooms and a spacious desk with a lamp, plug sockets, and chair, with an iron and ironing board provided for added convenience.
Food and Drink
The hotel's on-site restaurant and bar serve a range of culinary options. Breakfast is an unlimited, all-you-can-eat affair, available from 6 am on weekdays until 10 am, providing a substantial start to the day. In the evening, the bar offers a selection of hot and cold snacks, from hearty traditional British meals to lighter continental dishes, ensuring guests have convenient dining choices without needing to venture far.
Value for Money
As a Travelodge property, the focus is on providing accessible accommodation in a prime London location. The unlimited breakfast and the option of SuperRooms for added comfort offer clear benefits. While WiFi is complimentary for the first 30 minutes per 24-hour period, requiring payment thereafter, the overall offering is geared towards travellers seeking a functional and well-located base without the premium often associated with central London hotels.
Accessibility
While specific details on adapted rooms are not provided, the hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, which can assist with guest queries regarding accessibility. The location, being close to major transport links like Old Street Underground Station, facilitates easier navigation around the city.
Family-Friendly
The hotel's central location makes it a convenient option for families exploring London's attractions. The availability of an all-you-can-eat breakfast can be particularly appealing to younger guests. While dedicated family services are not highlighted, the practical amenities and proximity to theatres and attractions offer a solid foundation for a family city break.
