Get a Travelodge room for £38 or less
With over 580 hotel locations throughout the UK, including in major cities and near popular airports, Travelodge is a great option for those travelling on a budget. And in 2023, there are even more savings to be had on select stays.
In February, the budget hotel chain release “thousands” of rooms for £38 or less. This could mean a stay for as little as £17 per person based on two people sharing a room. Early birds have the opportunity to lock in the price of their stay now for a holiday later in the year, with the deal coming to an end on February 15, 2024.

The best prices are based on the lowest saver rooms available for stays booked directly on the Travelodge website. The hotel chain estimates there are a total of 878,689 rooms available for £38 or less on stays booked between February 27, 2023, and February 15, 2024.
However, the best rates are likely to go fast, so the sooner you lock in your hotel stay the better chance you have of making a lucrative saving.

Cheap deals on Easter stays
Easter is a busy time for travel, with the school holiday and long weekend making it the perfect time to head on a staycation or go to visit family. While hotel and travel prices typically shoot up at this time of year, Travelodge still has some purse-friendly deals you can snap up now. However, it’s worth noting that prices are subject to availability and are likely to increase in line with demand.
Budget London hotel stays
If you’re looking for a cultural city break over the Easter half term, Travelodge has some rooms in London available from £54.
London Feltham, located in West London, might not be the most central hub, but it’s just 20 minutes by bus to Heathrow Airport, making it a great stop for those jetting off on holiday.
If you are looking to explore the heart of the capital, Feltham is just 30 minutes by train to Waterloo Station, with services running approximately every 15 minutes.
The closer to the city centre you get, the more prices go up in line with demand. However, Express.co.uk did find deals under £100 for some locations closer to London’s main attractions.
Budget seaside stays
Holidaymakers looking to head to the coast can make the most of Travelodge’s seaside locations, with some stays available over the Easter half-term holidays under £50.
Budget city breaks
Those looking for a city centre holiday over Easter half term can also snap up a deal with pricing starting under £50 on certain dates and destinations.
All prices are accurate at the time of writing, but are subject to availability.
Top tips for finding a room under £34
Booking your trip in advance is one of the best ways to secure the best prices, with Travelodge allowing customers the opportunity to book up to 325 days in advance. However, there are some other methods Travelodge recommends for those hoping to bag some incredible savings.
Stay midweek
According to Travelodge, the cheapest rooms are typically available between Sunday and Thursday, as Fridays and Saturdays are some of their busiest times. Although £34 and under rooms are available on weekends, due to the demand, these are likely to be snapped up quickly.
Your location
Cheap rooms ultimately depend on the popularity of the destination. In London, for example, rooms start at £49. However, given the hundreds of destinations to choose from, searching around could be the key to bagging a bargain.
Always book direct
While price comparison sites are a great way to see what offers are out there, Travelodge urges customers to book direct if they want the best deals.
