Travelodge UK - accommodation in Brampton

Well-designed hotel with a lovely interior throughout. The location is excellent too – it’s on a new development just outside the city centre, and hopping on a Voi scooter into town was quick, easy and quite possibly the most fun I’ve had obeying traffic laws. The bedrooms are also great, the breakfast buffet was excellent, and overall it’s a place I’d happily stay again. However… there is one issue. The bar staff called time at 10:30pm. 10:30pm. On. A. Saturday... I wasn’t asking them to recreate Ibiza in 1999. I simply thought a second pint while watching the World Cup on a warm summer evening in the lovely outdoor seating area wasn’t an outrageous request. Perhaps I’m showing my age, but I’d always considered 10:30pm to be the point where an evening begins to gather momentum. Everything else was superb. Just don’t expect the nightlife to extend beyond the end of The One Show.

On arrival reception staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent hotel with great staff who went out of their way to make our trip memorable.

The staff were so kind and helpful when I arrived, and helped me with my luggage and suggestions for how to get to the city center. The hotel was clean, cool, and quiet, exactly what I needed. It was so easy to get there from the station, too. The cafe was great for snacks and drinks, and local amenities were perfect for light meals. The only down side was they had run out of ice and it was very hot, so ice would have been nice. I will certainly use this hotel again.
