rather scarily there is a http:\\www.cheaplondonhotels.com although it just goes to a company called vacations to go.

Formule 1 Hotels are cheapest in France, does that make the one in East Barking the cheapest in London? £27.50 a night, isn't it?

http://www.hollyhousehotel.activehotels.com/TAC in Victoria has singles at £30 (though they have a couple at £25, but you have to ask about those). if £30 is acceptable i recommend this one

a bunch of cheap hotels in the victoria area, which is probably the best area to look at for cheapness, safeness and centrality

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 28 November 2002 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks for all of those. What I was really after was discount hotels, i.e. decent hotels that have been reduced cos the rooms haven't gone. http://www.wotif.com is a good one, but i wondered if there were anymore.

Do you guys know anything about Hotel Cavendish??

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Not really, but that would be a good area in which to stay. Maybe Kate knows?

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

And there's always http://www.easyhotel.com/ !!!!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

When are you thinking of going, Sarah?

― .adam (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

well it's certainly central!

also, it's only a short stagger back from the spanish bar :)

website's a bit self-consciously wacky though, wouldn't you say?

$100 a night with breakfast for a twin/double room's not bad though...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

I'd recommend the Tavistock - it's a set 60 quid a night, just around the corner from Gower Street (and thus near the stations and tubes), breakfast included. It's not a palace, but it's cheaper than a travelodge.

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

i always stay in kensington when I stay in London itself, but next time I go I'd like to get out of that area. if you stay there let me know how it is because it sounds and looks fine (really both hotels I've stayed at were cheapies and they were great, even the one with a shared bath; I can't remember what it was called though).

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

Thanks, guys. Nick and I might be in London sometime in September. The hotel I linked is wacky looking - I'm hoping for somewhere pretty inexpensive but not too boring. I'll check out the other sites you've linked.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

I walk past the Cavendish every day can't say I know anything about it.

http://www.travelodge.co.uk/
http://www.travelinn.co.uk/

are some cheaper chains

http://www.accorhotels.com/
http://www.holidayinn.co.uk/

have some cheaper hotels in their chains

Copied from another thread:

I'm thinking of flying to London on the 26th and staying for 4 nights as kind of a last minute impulse thing (there's a Radiohead-related event, as usual, Sunday and Monday night at the Royal Festival Hall). Now, I really can't afford this at all, but I think I need it mentally. So I was wondering if anyone could help me find either a cheap hotel (ensuite preferably) near the RFH, or offer me a place to crash for at least 2 nights? And I'd be totally up for a FAP.

Would prefer recommendations for hotels you've actually stayed in or seen, if possible, as I don't want any nasty surprises.

bit in the paper at weekend about a new place called WakeUp London! which sounded like a glorified youth hostel with rooms only 11 pounds a night (twins 13, private rooms 20). looked clean and new in photos.

http://www.travelstay.com/pages/WakeUpLondon.htm

― koogs (koogs), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

Try this website Melissa, we use it if we stay in London. http://www.wotif.com/ It's for more expensive hotels, but last minute so they are cheap.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

^^Read cheapER!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

I see Wake Up London is described as 'brill'.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

I always use www.laterooms.com

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Of these places in London, which is closest to South Bank?

Kings Cross
Islington
Farringdon
Covent Garden
Liverpool Street

I'm looking up travelodges.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:09 (twenty years ago)

I think Covent Garden.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

Covent Garden - 15 mins walk (over the river) to the South Bank. Try looking up Waterloo?

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

my office has been putting people at the premier travel inn in kings cross. it's very clean and new-ish and most importantly it's two minutes' walk around the corner from the station on york way, so you can escape the area very quickly.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

You could try hostels too, some of them are super-cheap and some offer you yr own room. It will feel like a dormitory but it might be worth it depending on what kind of mood you're in. "Friendship House" on this page looks like it's close to where you're going, and how could you pass up that lovely fountain.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

Please note: this is the first time I have correctly answered a London question. I am turning cockney.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to stay in London for a few nights in a couple of weeks, because I'm off on a training course. Work have booked me into a Travel Inn on the Euston Road, because it was the cheapest thing they could find. I've got an ominous feeling I'm going to be kept awake by traffic all night.

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

How close is Bloomsbury to South Bank?

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

Quickly! Is it close? I may have just found the most amazing deal in history, if so.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

You'd need to take the bus but it's not that far.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

Dear god, it's not the Generator Hostel, is it? Run AWAY.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 16:56 (twenty years ago)

Bonnington Hotel. £90 for a two night stay.

― mark s, Thursday, 10 May 2007 09:29 (eighteen years ago)

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 10 May 2007 09:50 (eighteen years ago)

good one tracer hand. if the hollyhouse in sw1 was ever booked up and i needed a hotel, i think that one would be the one!

― 696, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:21 (eighteen years ago)

The Holly House looks good too. I satyed in a nice little one in Bloomsbury too but I can't find it now, sorry. It was run by an Australian which really doesn't narrow it down does it?

I really need somewhere remotely reasonable where we can stay with 2 kids (under 10) in London that isn't a travel inn. Any ideas gratefully received.

― Ned Trifle II, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:32 (eighteen years ago)

Oh it was the Cavendish. As mentioned upthread.
http://www.hotelcavendish.com/
According to it's website it's been revamped but i quite liked it's disorganised air before.

Does anyone read the reviews anywhere? I've found tripadvisor to be a bit unreliable.

― Ned Trifle II, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:39 (eighteen years ago)

why don't you stay there, if you liked it before?

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:57 (eighteen years ago)

Weird, I was looking at this thread yesterday, as me and the mister may be making a return trip at the start of June to go to a wedding. Are these little hotels the kind of place we can birl into drunk at 3 in the morning, then?

― ailsa, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:56 (eighteen years ago)

of course they are!

― 696, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:27 (eighteen years ago)

Hurrah! We'll be booking one of them then.

(I have bad memories of stern-looking reception-based people in little hotels looking funny at me in the past, you see, and prefer faceless chains where no-one gives a toss)

― ailsa, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:35 (eighteen years ago)

hollyhouse isnt a faceless chain, but you can do what you want. im sure the other littler ones will be fine too

― 696, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

Good stuff (I am not intending getting very drunk, but these things do happen at weddings, and I was brought up to treat hotels nicely, and as a result now have a strange fear of being thought of badly for getting in late and having partaken of alcohol)

― ailsa, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:43 (eighteen years ago)

stay at the rushmore in earl's court

― roxymuzak, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

room 10

― roxymuzak, Thursday, 10 May 2007 16:46 (eighteen years ago)

When I lost the keys to my flat, I stayed one night in the Langland Hotel in Gower St. http://www.langlandhotel.com

The accommodation is basic (not ensuite, but the shared bathrooms were spotless) but very cheap for the location. I think it was around £40 including breakfast.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 23 July 2007 09:29 (seventeen years ago)

i stand by by Avalon rec, by the way. it's cheap, no frills, full english breakfast, and in a beautiful crescent right next to Bloomsbury/Russell Square
