In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
This is a newer Travelodge built to the brand's nationwide template, so there are no surprises — a mid-size lobby with a self-service check-in kiosk and a bar cafe. The rooms are done in Travelodge Comfort style, with the brand's own King-size Dreamer bed, quality linen, an en-suite with a power shower, Freeview TV, a tea and coffee tray and free Wi-Fi. Family Rooms take 2 adults plus 2 kids on a sofa bed. The rooms at the back are quieter. One guest summed it up: clean room, comfortable bed, the cheapest price in Salisbury, and central enough to walk to the Cathedral. The design leans firmly toward value over luxury.
Food and amenities
The on-site bar cafe runs from morning to late with coffee, tea, drinks, snacks and light meals. The Unlimited breakfast buffet is $11 for adults, with one child free per paying adult — a full English cooked breakfast plus Continental, served 06:30-10:00. There's no full dinner restaurant, so you'll head into town for that (a 3-5 minute walk). No private parking, no gym, no spa. Wi-Fi is free. A Travelodge Business Account covers frequent work stays with points and a member rate, and you can check in 24 hours via the kiosk or the Travelodge app.
Location and getting there
It sits on St John Street in central Salisbury, 5 minutes' walk from Salisbury Cathedral through the High Street Gate — as close as the Mercure White Hart and the Cathedral Hotel. Market Square is 3 minutes away, and Salisbury Station is a 12-minute walk, with trains to London Waterloo in 1.5 hours. Stonehenge is 15 km (a 20-minute drive), reachable on the Stonehenge Tour Bus from the station. Old Sarum is 4 km (8 minutes by car) and Wilton House 5 km (10 minutes).
Things to know before booking
The design is basic — this is value, not atmosphere, so don't expect heritage detail. Breakfast is not in the rate; budget the extra $11 if you want it. And there's no private parking — you'll rely on the Lush House or Crane Bridge car parks nearby at roughly $10-15 a day. There's also no restaurant for dinner, so plan to eat in town.
Our take
If your priority is being in the centre of Salisbury for the lowest possible price, this is the pick. At a $63 Saver Rate it undercuts every other central hotel, the bed is genuinely comfortable, and you're minutes from the Cathedral and Market Square. You give up character and parking, but for a no-fuss budget base before a Stonehenge day trip, 8.0/10 is fair.
