There is a choice of rooms from family, double and disabled, and you only pay for the room and not of number of guests staying. Each rooms offers a comfortable setting with en-suite bathroom, luxury king size bed, colour TV which offers pay on demand movies, telephone and Internet services and free tea and coffee making facilities.
There is also an onsite Bar-Café at the hotel, which offers a range of meals and refreshments throughout the day and evening. (Breakfast, evening meals, snacks 24-hours a day and bar service until 1.00am). An onsite car-park is available to guests.
Oliver Sweetman, London City Travelodge Hotel Manager, said: "London City Airport is rapidly growing and has seen a dramatic increase in passengers this year. With our hotel being situated at the airport site, we can now offer business and leisure travellers a budget stop-over solution. It makes sense, to stay over and get a good night sleep before catching an early morning flight."
The other Travelodge hotels to open today include: Manchester Airport, Aberdeen Airport, Bury, Nottingham City Centre, Norwich City Centre, St Austell and Pembroke Dock, which results in a total investment of £23 million, 635 new rooms and creation of 225 jobs.
