Here is my personal opinion on “ Travelodge versus Premier Inn , which is better?” debate. I made my evaluation by looking at four criteria; price, room quality and amenities, customer service and location. Background In December 2007 I wrote a post “ Which is the best UK budget hotel chain ?” where I came to the conclusion that Travelodge was tops for me, mainly based on their availability of cheap rooms. Now that I’ve finally stayed in four Premier Inns (albeit it on a complimentary basis during my Summer 2010 Scotland Blog Tour ), I though it was time for a comparison between Travelodge and Premier Inn . Premier Inn Elgin Price I’ve managed to book many really cheap Travelodge rooms, from as little as £9 a night in their promotions. However I’ve noticed that it’s getting harder to find the really cheap rooms in the Travelodge sales, the £9 rooms often sell out within a couple of days and it can be hard to actually book the cheap rooms as the site keeps crashing. But there is generally some availability of £19 and £29 Saver rooms midweek in low season. I observed that Premier Inn now advertise rooms from £29 a nigh t, so I have looked on their site several times in the last year but haven’t been able to find any £29 rooms at locations and/or dates that were suitable. I’ve always found the lowest prices for Travelodge and Premier Inn to be available on their own sites, as opposed to on hotel price comparison sites. However, unless you can find a Travelodge or Premier Inn room at £29 or less, don’t assume that either will offer the lowest available price for your destination and dates. I’ve found some fantastic prices at other chain and independent hotels using the HotelsCombined price comparison site . I’d have to say in my experience, Travelodge wins on the low price front. Room Quality and Amenities Premier Inn promotes itself as a superior budget brand with the tagline “Everything’s premier but the price” but what do they mean by premier
