    Eva first joined Travelodge as a Housekeeper. She started in the 140-bed bar cafe hotel in a grade-listed building very close to Kings Cross St Pancras. After three years, she realised she loved interacting with people and that she was able to further her career within Travelodge.

  • Assistant Hotel Manager, Euston

    Feb 2009 - Dec 2009

    A perfect location to explore London and a perfect hotel for Eva to really use her skills, our 150-bed bar cafe site in Euston has a very busy occupancy all year around. This opportunity as Assistant Hotel Manager gave Eva a real understanding of what it is like to manage and run a hotel.

  • Hotel Manager, High Holborn

    May 2012 - Jan 13

    She then became the Hotel Manager of our busy business-focused hotel in the centre of London, with 184 bedrooms and a bar café, where she really proved her ability to lead and develop.

  • Operations Manager, Covent Garden

    Jan 13 - Aug 14

    Stepping into the Operations Manager role at our flagship property, Eva had to be extremely organised to ensure that her team delivered outstanding customer service.

  • Hotel Manager, Farringdon

    Eva then took on the challenge of managing the 219-bed big bar cafe hotel in London Farringdon, which is also our newly refurbished property with a number of Super Rooms and a new look bar cafe.
