Location was fantastic a 10 minute walk to tower bridge and the tower of london. The room was clean and modern but was very hot there was air conditioning but it only went down to a certain point and didn't seem to be working properly. Also it does state it on the website but we didn't notice it that the hotel is built by a railway track so if you are staying at the back of the hotel its very noisy, I wore earplugs and could still hear the trains. The staff were all lovely and really polite and helpfull and the cafe/resturant/bar was reasonablly priced. Overall it was cheap and very central and you get what you pay for really, I would stay again but get a room at the front away from the train noise.

Stayed for 2 nights at end of March, we were told it had just opened, understatement... it was still being finished off builders everywhere, hanging cables and so on. Reception staff unhelpful and rude, denied we had a booking and then wouldn't let me use hotel phone to phone booking company. As we waited every single person who arrived had check-in difficulties. Also in a VERY dark street in slightly dodgy area at night (we got lost coming from the tube station and even the police didn't know where it was. Plenty of other better places...even in London

We recently decided to see the Tutankhamun exhibition in London so we made a weekend of it and booked online to stay in Travelodge Aldgate east. A one night stay for ?39. Bargain!! The hotel is everything you would expect of Travelodge, Clean, spacious room, big bed, flat screen TV and superb all you can eat breakfast. And only a ten minute walk to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Now for the down side. The hotel is in Chamber Street which when you first walk into it can only be described as a muggers paradise! It runs alongside a Railway line and the hotel is the only modern building, the other business' being in the railway arches ( think the garage in Eastenders). Both ends of the street are as bad and to walk along it at night, as you have to do unless you take a taxi ,is not a pleasant experience. The other downside is the proximity of the railway. The side of the hotel we stayed in overlooked the tracks and although the trains do not run between midnight and 6am and then only trundle slowly past the noise is enough to ensure you will not get a lie in on your holiday!

This hotel has been recently renovated, the rooms are small but lovely, we had a flat screen TV, and the bathroom had a decent size shower, but no bath. The position of this hotel is good, close to the Tower of London and a short walk from a couple of underground stops, however it is impossible to find, there are 2 Travelodge`s in the Aldgate area and we ended up at the wrong one. It is impossible to find if you have never been there before, it is down a bit of a dodgy road, but I think it looks worse than it is. The other major down side is there is no where to store your luggage when you check out of your room. We checked out at 12, and our train home was at 7. We have to get the tube to Liverpool Street train station and leave our luggage there. Now that I know where it is I would stay here again, for the price you wont get much better in Central London.
