Ditch the alarm! Travelodge is about to launch a new wake-up call service next month, which involves guests being woken up with a splash of cold water in the face.
The new wake-up service, called Travelodge Cold Call and set to begin next month, is being rolled out across the country to make sure hotel guests get out of bed and to their early morning flights on time.
According Travelodge, hotel guests with early flights constantly hit the snooze button or sleep through the hotel reception’s wake-up phone calls.
A Travelodge Hotel spokesperson said the new measure ensured there was no rolling over and going back to sleep and helped guarantee that no Travelodge guest would ever miss a morning flight.
“If you have to get up very early, getting out of our comfy beds can be a struggle, particularly in the colder months… We think we have found a solution, and we are looking forward to trialling the Travelodge Cold Call for early risers next month in May.”

So how does it work?
Basically, the Travelodge Cold Call involves a hotel team member delivering a splash of cold water to the face.
In line with the hotel’s Refreshingly Simple philosophy, Travelodge’s customers can request the service when they book a room via phone.
It will be available between 4am and 6am weekdays.
Travelodge recently rebranded to appeal to the modern smart traveller who values the essentials over the extras.
