Location is near the train station, it just gets busy during weekends. Beside Tesco Express, and near several restaurant and cafe. The room is clean and spacious. Basic amenities. They provide coffee and tea. No hair blower. Person in the Front desk is friendly.

Access into the hotel after checking in, requires an access card which removes the need for room keys in the lift.
Room doors were quite hard to push. Room was clean. Windows open and close with automated switches, but I couldn't figure out how to get the curtains open. Bed was comfortable enough. No mini-fridge but a good blend of teas, the usual coffee sachets and choice of sweeteners. TV was small with tinny audio
The bathroom was clean. However, there was a missing circular plug (above the mirror), which given the number of rodents spotted outside in the square, was a bit unnerving. Wires could be seen running, so it must be access for some type of electrics. Sealant was not completely run on the left side of the sink. I would have preferred to have the light switch on the inside of the bathroom, for obvious reasons.

No amenities, no services provided, rooms are cleaned after seven nights, no Internet , only 14 inches TV and no international channels, very boring.

My grandson and his girlfriend booked this Travel Lodge 5wks in advance of arrival. Room was booked for 3pm, arrived 2.45, my grandson was flatly turned away because he was 17, his girlfriend is 18, this was asked b4 booking was accepted, they were turned down by a girl called Sharnice on front desk, this was in Barking miles away from home. They tried to book into another hotel close by but were unsuccessful, only because of intervention from my grandsons girlfriends mother calling the hotel did they accept them back at the Travel Lodge. They were then given a single room between them that had only just been vacated, not clean, single bed, wet shower. They went to the concert that was booked and when coming back to the Travel Lodge a different lady was on reception and gave them the proper room they'd booked and apologised for Sharnice being so dispicably rude to my grandson and his girlfriend. Checkout was 12noon nxt day, at 10am someone was trying to open their bedroom door, when my grandson went to see who was there, it was Sharnice and another member of staff running off down the corridor. This is totally unacceptable and unprofessional and put my grandson and his girlfriend in what could have been a dangerous position by not being able to have a safe place to stay, angry beyond words

If you’re looking for no-frills accommodation in London, this hotel is a solid choice. Located just off the main street in Barking, it’s well-positioned near the heart of a bustling, traditional London street market. The area has a down-to-earth vibe. The hotel itself is very basic and doesn’t offer many facilities, but it delivers exactly what it promises: a comfortable place to rest. Check-in has always been a smooth process during my stays, with friendly and efficient staff who create a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are simple but functional. The showers are consistently good, providing strong water pressure and plenty of hot water—a small but significant perk after a long day. The beds are perfectly adequate for a restful night’s sleep. It’s clear this hotel isn’t aiming for luxury, but it does the basics well, which is all I needed. Overall, this is a reliable, fuss-free option. If you’re looking for affordable accommodation in an area with easy links to Central London, this place gets the job done. I’d happily stay here again for a short, no-frills visit to London.

Upon arriving checkin despite my late arrival was professional and swift. The building is modern and everything seemed well maintained. The bathroom was nice with a good shower. I slept well and there was a lovely sunrise because my room faced east. My only issue was lack of plug sockets, when I arrived the room had no heating on, so I plugged in the heater. That caused the actual plug socket to get very hot. Otherwise I got a good night's sleep and found the location convenient for the tube and trains to Central London.

I've never written a bad review for a hotel before, however this (for the price) took the biscuit. I stayed for 2 nights - There was a gaping hole in the ceiling bathroom from a missing light fitting, that was full of crap. The shower gel dispenser didn't work at all, it was dirty, no air con, only a fan and an electric heater. Beds are hard as a rock (but I expected that). It wasn't a cheap stay, and wouldn't reccommend this location at all. Full of undesirables outside, shouting all night, fighting, a really rough area indeed. It was close to parking and the Underground, that was the only positives I could find. I reported the Shower issue to Reception, they did nothing, so went and bought our own shower gel instead out of frustration. The staff were too busy chatting to each other rather than dealing with customers. Hated the stay, would never return.

Ashif is quite exceptional for hospitality and excellent guidance. This is my second visit to this travel lodge and come to realise that you always have good reception so far so especially with meeting with Ashif and another lady I meet my last visit can't remember the name but she was good too
