Travelodge Hotels (UK)

What is the best part of working at the company?
I got nothing. It will depend if you have a working manager or a lazy one. 
I was hired by a working manager and I loved my job. Now I have a lazy manager who basically makes me do some of her work, as well as supporting housekeeping and my own work. Now I hate my job. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management! Hotel and above. 
I have a lazy hotel manager and an area manager blind to the fact, and not clocking on that  no one is happy and gradually leaving. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, 
You can get lovely guests who make the job worthwhile. But it’s a rarity. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work on reception for the first 2 hrs checking people out. 
Make up Housekeeping cleaning lists. 
Look at new arrivals to check if they have early check in. 
 From. 10am till I finish, i am not a receptionist anymore. I’m a general dogsbody. Mostly housekeeping supervising checking rooms, laundry, topping up rooms ( which I didn’t apply for)

I have had a horrible experience working for this company. The hotel has been open for 6 months and the high turnover of staff in that time reflects how poorly run this hotel is. You are expected to do between 10 - 15 rooms a day and around 6 - 8 stay over rooms. Extremely understaffed and you never get out on time. They take advantage of my good nature where as other members of staff leave early constantly. I asked to leave today after completing all my rooms except 2 stayovers because I had a severe migraine and I was told no as there is nobody else to do the stayovers! I can't cope with this job any more, I text the boss today explaining how I had cleaned my last 2 rooms in tears as I was so ill and I'm struggling with how under staffed the place is and he just ignored my message. I can't afford to quit but I feel like it's my only option as working for Travelodge has made me physically and mentally ill.

working here can be difficult, yes as a part time job the hours are okay, and if you are a housekeeper then the hours do start after the typical school run, however my experience at travelodge was not good. management are as organised as they should be. as a new person you are quickly put on shifts on your own, and although you can ask other employees via phone about the system and what not. it is difficult to get a hold of people. the working enviroment can be a challange if you aren't good with confrontation which can happen with possiple customers. and the job includes more than what the job description acually said. as a young person it is a difficult place to work as there is a lot of un needed stress. and also although they say that they are a welcoming cummuity i have found that they can be bias and hypicritcal and non understanding in some cases. also not an 'all enclusive' enviroment.

I worked here for over a year on reception and helped out when we had no manager for over 6months. I left over a year ago as i physically could not take anymore. 
And it was the best thing i have ever done. My hours got cut weekly. I was doing 6days aweek but then a new manager came along and i ended up with 2days a week which nearly lost me my home, Management and senior management do not care at all, there was major problems in the hotel and  with inappropriate staff and nothing was done,
There is no room to further your career here evan before you put in a grievance.  

Ended up leaving for a better paying job, nicer company, great senior managers. 

Its just discusting how this company treats there staff. 
Your better of at premier inn or holiday inn which treat you with respect and help with anything you need.

Decent place to work, can get lonely at times, especially on the night shift when lone working, but the benefit to that is you get lots of time for yourself when it’s not busy, quiet night shifts feel like the whole world stands still for you. The downside is that the emergency support is horrible. If you’re lone working, expect to handle the situation completely by yourself and the lone worker devices aren’t always manned as I found out when no one picked up after I triggered a red alert. Though again, that can also be a good thing as handling emergencies by yourself means that if you’re calm enough then it teaches you to be more resilient for future work and prevents other people from getting involved and potentially making the situation worse.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great people getting to travel have fun where you work and live at the same time

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress but attention to detail is very important wether it be a banquet for 2200 ppl or a plate for a single person in the restaurant  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is fantastic lots of area to cover, so lot's of leg work

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up check out whats on the board for banquets or reservation depending where you are working or station and carry on

£8.21 for housekeeping not worth it if you're 25+ and live in an expensive area imo. Management and head office so tight with money they don't schedule enough staff, so a 4 hour shift can go on a few more hours. Have to work to time restrictions for each room regardless of how messy they can be or if you have to wait for the customer to leave. Equipment needed isn't managed or stocked well. Management and customers treat you like the rubbish you clean and aren't friendly or welcoming. New management had a problem with how we were trained, if something goes wrong it's on you. Ok for a summer job but is most busy then.

Work place culture is very toxic. In (Maintenance division)Management want an easy life and want 10/14 jobs a day ( can be made up jobs) So you’d get penalised if you worked hard on 2 jobs put got praised and a presentation gift if you sat around all day with 10 made up jobs Planning is a joke too.
Avoid at all costs as as the management is very toxic and is run by intimidating/ condescending behaviour  and salary isn’t transparent 32k-29k (same area and skill set) 


You won’t get trained properly here, only one staff works the entire day and afternoon shift even when there are 100+ check ins/check outs, manager is a bully, there’s one extremely broken down chair to sit on in a tiny cramped dirty and smelly office, customers scream and harass you constantly for things out of your control that hotel management does literally nothing to fix, absolutely awful negative work environment, worst place I’ve ever worked at. Never recommend this place as a worker or as a customer.

easy and stable job, recently went under a new manager who struggled rota correctly and put a big strain on me and staff members. 
staff were easy to get along with but some not very happy to be working there which put a strain on the other members.
hardest part of the job was the busy arena nights a the breakfast shifts the day after, high demand on food and kitchen wasn't really equipped to cope with the demand.
