No matter whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, the nation’s loved chain of Travelodge hotels is on hand to help. Known for offering contemporary hotel rooms across the United Kingdom and Ireland (and their iconic red and blue stripe), the Travelodge chain can be found in all major cities, and then some.
Founded in 2005, Travelodge became Britain’s first budget hotel chain, and in 2004, hotels were even opened in Spain. From the early days, it has become one of the go-to hotel brands across the country, catering to visitors from overseas, staycationers and those travelling for work.
Even though the rooms are already pretty cheap, who can say no to an extra bit of discount? Luckily, The Independent’s team of deal hunters are always looking for ways to help you save during this cost of living crisis, and keeping accommodation costs low, giving you more of an opportunity to travel.
All about Travelodge discount codes and deals
Right now, you can book a Travelodge room for £35 or less. The hotel giant has just released these bargain rooms for selected stays until 21 June 2025, with rooms already booking up fast. This spring deal reflects the very lowest saver room rates available, with London hotel prices starting from £42.
However, if you’re planning a trip outside of these dates, you won’t miss out on Travelodge’s fantastic deals. Businesses, both big and small, can enjoy a special saving of five per cent when booking a stay with a flexible rate. Along with this discount, you’ll be able to amend or cancel your stay up until midday on your arrival date.
That free cancellation isn’t just available for businesses either. All guests can amend or cancel their Travelodge booking if they choose to stay with the flexible rate – but be mindful that the best prices do come with the saver rate. In general, Travelodge’s deals are updated every month, so it’s worth checking back every so often to see what the latest bargain may be.
While Travelodge’s standard rooms are usually the cheapest, you can choose to upgrade your stay with one of its super rooms. These rooms have been designed to enhance your stay with a choice of firm or soft hypoallergenic pillows, a plush duvet, blackout curtains, and a 32in Samsung Freeview TV. It’s worth mentioning, though, that whatever room you book – family, standard, standard plus or super, you’ll get a comfy king size bed.
If you’re still not sure which room is right for you, or which offer you should go for, use the Travelodge’s price finder, to find the best possible deal.
More ways to save on hotel rooms and stays
If you sign up to receive the Travelodge newsletter, you’ll have access to some of the hotel’s most special offers. You’ll also be kept up to date in the first instance on any new openings, events, and all the latest news.
We’ve already mentioned Travelodge’s price finder, but wanted to bring a little attention back to its uses. By using this tool, you’ll see all hotels in your area, side by side, comparing a week’s worth of dates, so that you can work out when the cheapest possible time is for you to visit. You’ll also be able to add filters such as double or family rooms, the hotel type, whether you want breakfast, parking, or be near to any amenities.
It’s worth knowing, too, that Travelodge offers unlimited breakfast for just £9.99. So for less than a tenner, you can fill up on cereals, pastries, juice, a cooked breakfast and all the whole bean coffee you fancy.
Top Travelodge hotels
It would be impossible to choose just one favourite hotel from the Travelodge chain with nearly 600 hotels carrying the iconic red and blue Travelodge branding. There are many scattered across London, and London City has to be one of our top picks. Located near Aldgate East station, the hotel is just up the road from the Tower of London, Whitechapel and Spitalfields Market – all very popular tourist spots.
A no-frills hotel in the heart of the Scottish capital, the Edinburgh Central Travelodge Hotel is in between Canongate and Cowgate, so you really couldn’t hope for a better location. For a weekend of retail therapy, book a stay at the Travelodge Birmingham Central Bull Ring, and you’ll have amazing shops on your doorstep – including Selfridges.
