Is there many places in London Central where you can get double/ twin room for less than £60?

Question

B&B, Pub, guesthouse? Surely they're some around the place?

Answer 1

Here's a really helpful booking/ search site -- it tells you a lot about the character of the neighbourhoods where you find most of the b&bs in town.

By the way, I do wish Kristen would stop using the same answer for every question on accommodation.

Y!A is supposed to be about individual people helping each other -- not about churning out two stock answers for any question on London accommodation. :-(

Answer 2

I  think that Bed and Breakfasts are the best way to go in London when it comes to central and inexpensive lodging. Plus you get free breakfast. London B&B's aren't as charming and homey as the ones in the country, they're much less expensive than large hotels and offer private ensuite rooms that are quite clean.

I've stayed in the Vegas hotel http://www.vegashotel.co.uk/ near Victoria Station. This room was bizarre since you entered through the loo to get to the bed, however, at least it was ensuite, cheap, clean, included breakfast and had a television. That area around and behind Victoria has dozens of similar B&Bs, and the same is true of areas surrounding most of the city's main central train stations, King's cross area has loads, it's not quite as close to the city center but it is close to excellent transportation. Staying near Victoria is a good idea because of all the great transportation connections and it's a safe area. http://www.4hotels.co.uk is a good place to start B&B shopping. It also lets you browse by region of London. The bigger sites like www.hotels.com, www.expedia.com, etc. usually have some B&B listings for London as well.

I'd also recommend the Hotel St. Simeon B&B in Kensington http://www.stsimeon.com/. This B&B had spacious rooms, gorgeous lobby, great breakfasts and was in a really nice area of the city, right off Gloucester Road tube station.

Rates for these types of B&Bs usually start at around 40 pounds ($80) for a double room. Cheers!

Answer 5

theres a travel lodge or travel inn/ premier inn down the road from Kings cross station- down Euston road

Answer 6

Try the County Hotel in Upper Woburn Place between Bloomsbury and Euston. The Ritz it ain't but it serves a purpose.
