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 released “thousands” of rooms for £38 or less. Now, with autumn on the way, the hotel has even more rooms for £38 or less. With the October half-term running from October 23 to October 27, 2023, this could mean a stay for as little as £17 per person based on two people sharing a room in time for the school holidays.
This means that a family of four making the most of the deal, the saying as “cheap as chips” really does come to mind. According to Travelodge data, a £38 Travelodge room shared between a family of four, works out at just £9.50 per person “which is cheaper than a portion of fish and chips and a can of pop” or a “trip to the cinema”.
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.

Top tips for finding a room under £38
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.
