London Hotels

I need to book a hotel for a couple of nights for me, Nora and my young lad.

 

I go a fair bit but usually end up in "business" hotels.

 

Any recommendations based on the following please:

 

Near a tube station

Not over a grand a night

Half decent

Not so far out of the centre I may as well stay at home.

 

Thanks

Looks good - how far out of the centre is it? Looks a fair way....

premier inn at euston...

Kensington Hilton

10 mins from the action,join their fan club and bid for the £1 rooms,i got lucky there(with the rooms i mean)

 

really is a decent hotel

Crown Plaza in Kensington is really nice.

Its located about 1/2 mile from the Royal Albert Hall, 100 yds from Gloucester Road Tube Station, theres a Sainsburys Express and an indoor food court right opposite.

Cracking couple of boozers very close that do good home cooked food

Hilton paddington ticks all those boxes, as does hyde park hilton. City inn victoria is a decent hotel.

 

Try top secret hotel rooms, you can usually work out the hotel from the description. I have never had a bad room through them including above hotels.

Kip at garrp's.

Park Plaza, Westminster. Blinder.

 

Central to anything you need.

Premier Inn were doing £49 rooms in London on a special offer - try their website.

I used to often use the Bonnington on Southampton Row. Handy for Holborn, my profession's HQ being there.

Close to Oxford Street, theatreland, British Museum.

 

No idea what it's like nowadays.

Millenium Baileys outside Gloucester Road tube. Not sure how much it cost because I didn't pay - you, the taxpayer did - but it was alright, was near stuff, had a good pub opposite and had Sky Sports. The taxpayer funded breakfast was lovely too.

Oh and they do double double rooms, split with a kitchen area and huge bathroom so your lad can sleep in one post code and you rattle the bones off your Nora in another.

Holiday inn Swiss Cottage right across road from tube station and easy to get to, you can even park the car in its own garage for £25.

 

They do good weekend deals and the rooms are a decent size, if you don't want the usual toast and bird seed breakfast then there is a beltin place nearby.

I booked Club Quarters lincoln's Inn Fields hotel for a Fri and Sat in Dec, £69 a night. Not far from Euston and a tube stop.

Wasn't Holborn famous for the oldest profession in the world?

I was thinking High Holborn - near the old Prudential and Pearl head offices.

 

If you count Drury Lane as low holborn you're probably right for days of old.

What abour Old Holborn?

3 for a tenner down the local.

If you are happy to go relatively budget, try Premier Inn Hampstead (Belsize Park really) very pleasant location, 5 mins from tube, cost £99 for double room (on my own with work but room price is same) mid week three weeks ago, very good for Cenral ish London. Close to Camden Town and Hampstead and not far from the West End. Plenty of eateries and pubs on Haverstock Hill, usual Premier Inn, clean and comfy. Parking not outrageous either for London, £16 for 24 hours I think? Prem Inns usually have family rooms with a double and single.

we stayed at collingham apartments, 2 adults 2 kids, was brilliant, miles better than a hotel

 

we also went to see wizard of oz
