Travelodge Bangor Reviews

The Travelodge in Bangor, Gwynedd, North Wales deserves a lengthy review for reasons that are all positive. A few of the particular highlights of a recent, 4-week stay, are below:- First up is that this Travelodge is about 1/3 the cost of any of the Airbnbs in the area. I’m repeating things that are all over the internet, which run as follows: the charm of Airbnb has all but disappeared and now, all that’s left (mostly, allegedly) are unpredictable lodging experiences, with issues around cleanliness, inaccurate descriptions, and sometimes creepy/angry hosts. On top of this, pricing has increased significantly and the cleaning fees and "chore lists" are a massive turn off. The check-outs are rarely past 10am and I’ve yet to stay in one without a constant worry at the back of my mind that something precious will get broken, or something will get spilled on the cream carpet, or some other cock-up that I will have to explain to the owner, and pay a hefty sum to putting to right. It therefore makes sense to get hotels now, but most of these are over-priced. There is one exception: the Travelodge chain. The simple fact is that this chain offers by far the best value across hotels and B&Bs. This is particularly true for the Travelodge in Bangor, which is typically £20 cheaper each night than the Travelodge in Caernarfon a few miles away. There’s still loads of dates with rooms at £39.99. Nowhere else, anywhere, even camping, offer these prices. In terms of quality, Travelodges have seriously upped their game in recent years. Now, as a minimum, expect constant hot-running water, day and night, a shower plus a bath in a pristine, en suite bathroom – yup, pristine – all of the rooms and en suite bathrooms look like they have had a refit within the last year or so, and all are decorated in calming colours. No grubby walls, or stained grouting, no smelly carpets, yukky toilets, dusty windowsills, uncomfy beds or noisy neighbours, and I must give a special shout to the mattresses – best night’s sleep, ever. All the rooms are a decent size, plus they all have black-out curtains. Finally, check-out at a Travelodge is 12pm, and it only costs £15 to check-out at 2pm! This Bangor Travelodge stands out because of the friendly and helpful staff all of whom seem to go out of their way to accommodate guests’ requirements and make them feel safe, secure and welcome. A special thanks therefore, goes to staff members Jackie, Robin, Dylan, Rachel and Stacey. You lovely people, thank you, and I will see you again very soon! Finally, it must be said that the Bangor Travelodge is a perfect location for all the sights, slap bang in the middle, between Mount Snowdon on one side, and Anglesey on the other. Both are fabulous places for different reasons. I won’t go into any details because there’s a myriad of other reviews that will do a better job of it than I can. The great location and prices were my main reasons for choosing this hotel initially; all the other things
