About this property

Welcome to Travelodge Gainsborough

Travelodge Gainsborough offers simple, comfortable accommodations in the heart of Gainsborough town centre, just a short walk from Marshall’s Yard Shopping Centre and Gainsborough Central Railway Station. Guests appreciate the hotel's central location along the River Trent, making it a convenient base for exploring local attractions and accessing nearby transport links.

The hotel features cosy, air-conditioned rooms with paid Wi-Fi, suitable for families and pet owners alike. While there are no on-site dining or leisure facilities such as a restaurant or fitness center, the hotel's smoke-free environment and accessible design add to its practical appeal. Parking is not available on-site, which may influence travelers arriving by car.

Visitors frequently commend the friendly and attentive staff, as well as the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, although some note that the windows do not open, which might affect ventilation preferences. The absence of natural views is balanced by the hotel's convenient setting close to shops and eateries, with an Italian restaurant located next door receiving positive mention.

Nearby attractions include Gainsborough Old Hall, a well-preserved medieval family home, and Sundown Adventureland, an adventure park popular with children under 10. The Gainsborough Heritage Centre also offers further cultural interest within easy reach. For those arriving by air, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, and East Midlands Airports are all within approximately two hours by car or transit.

Great location, rooms clean and tidy, friendly staff. The only downside to this hotel is that you couldn't open a window.

The only flaw is the views, but it is situated right in the middle of Gainsborough. The hotel itself is immaculate, fairly priced and honestly I've stayed in quite a few hotels and the ladies on the front desk here are the most lovely, polite and helpful hotel staff I've had. Thank you for an awesome stay.

First time in a Travelodge in a long while. The Gainsborough one is good, I’m quietly surprised how good it was. Clean, well kept rooms, decent showers and super bed. Plus as a Brucey bonus: the Italian next door is superb Will certainly use this Travelodge again

The most peaceful and comfortable sleep I've ever had at a Travelodge not sure if it's because the staff allocate different floors for business and leisure guests but we weren't disturbed? Very clean corridor, nice clean smell throughout the hotel. The reception staff were very pleasant. Only quibble was the gel soap dispenser was a bit wonky.

Stayed here on the 27th with 2 rooms booked very time we stay as we are a big family. We never have any issues and always have polite staff. As it was Christmas time we did leave the hotel leaving behind my daughter's bunny that she absolutely takes everywhere and sleeps with. We arrive home after a 3 hour drive to find we had left it behind in the hotel. We phoned the staff and they assured us they would check the room and bedding for this bunny. The staff found her and bunny is now reunited with my daughter. Thankyou staff
