Looking for advice on where the best place to stay in London would be. Four of us going down on Saturday 7th May to go to Wembley on the Sunday and will be travelling back Monday. Getting the train to King's cross so basically looking for a decent location to stay. The hotel doesn't have to be anything fancy as it'll pretty much just be a place to sleep when where all drunk so a cheap hotel where there are a few decent pubs and some decent Indians/Chinese is basically what where looking for and where it'll be easy to get to Wembley on the Sunday and to King's Cross. Cheers.

Kingsway Hotel Covent Garden

Cheap, nice and close to Covent Garden

This place thats over £150 pn ? http://www.kingswayhall.co.uk/

Travelodge is always a reasonable bet - you have to get lucky to get the really cheap rates but the 'normal' sale prices aren't too bad either.

Which travelodge ? Trying to find the best locatition.

I'd stay closer to Kings Cross than to Wembley.

Not exactly out of this world for London, to be fair. Even Travelodge usually ends up being close to £100 pn unless you've booked early.

Yeah, that's what we where thinking.

For all hotels I look at either close to the venue or close to the train station.

Wembley Travelodge at the moment you can get the Saturday night and Sunday night for just over £100 total

The Kings Cross and ones closer to it will be about £50 more total but there are a few to choose from because central london has such good public transport

EDIT: Travelodge Kings Cross is £100 for Saturday night and just over £32.50 for Sunday night

I've stayed a couple times before and paid £70-80 pn for 4 star hotels. The travelodge that is near Wembley is £115 for 2 ppl for 2 nights.

The prices in that place fluctuate wildy, but I agree its nice, I've stayed there for about £80 before

Just go to laterooms,com and see what there is for the price mate. There are sometimes good deals to be had, other times not.

On a proper budget there is this place: never stayed there, but had some student mates who loved it: http://www.laterooms.com/en/hotel-reservations/14316_generator-london-london.aspx (http://www.laterooms.com/en/hotel-reservations/14316_generator-london-london.aspx) (0.3 miles from kings x)

I got a last minute deal at Novotel which was amazing through laterooms.com but they don't seem to have the same deal att. might do a bit closer to the time.

Most of the decent price hotels at Kings X are Sold out for the sat...

+1 to Woodseys comment. had already typed this out and couldnt be bothered deleting...

I've stayed in a couple of decnt B+B's in KK for about £70-80, trying to think of the names, will get back to you if I do. There are some decent ones in that area, if its just you and your mates I'd just book one of them as you won't be too arsed if they are only mediocre in quality anyway.

2 night min stay, but full anyway.

Thought you were going down on the sat and leaving on the Monday? Sorry man. wasn't full when i checked earlier. Save yaself hotel money and get a 24hr pub

I normally do this just with there being a few blondes on here who know London well and me not knowing it very well at all I'm just trying to find out where the best location would be for us to stay.

My misread not Mondo's

TL Euston is just down the road from KC

not sure why anyone would want to stay at kings cross. biggest shithole in london and it's not as if there's no easy way to get there for the train

and sigh @ you coming to london while I'm on holiday

St Martins Lane hotel imo...

Best bet is to go on priceline.co.uk and select you area and 4 star up.  Put in a bid for 70 quid and you will get a decent hotel.  Normlly they are Hiltons, marriotts, Sheratons etc.

Cheers, just what I was looking for when I'm sharing a room with me Dad and whilst I'm at the hotel I'll either be very drunk or very hungover :)

Will take a look, thanks.

I stayed in travel lodge next to kings cross about 1 min walk from the station and underground. Its saint somethin iirc

Cost me 50£ or something


If u really wanna be cheap just get one room and pile in together in 1 room

Subway is accross the road and some italian chinese restaurant mcds

Only annoying thing is u hear a fuck load of police sirens in the morning

+ KFC. Although thinking about it, it could be a chicken cottage imitation thing. Either way it heats up dead chickens.

Chicken Cottage >>>> KFC

Chicken Cottage is proper halal init bruv.

£150pn is cheap for London Ray, didnt realise we were talking TravelLodges!

Rubber dingy rapids bruv

It's cheap if you're just looking at the hotel's standard internet rates, but there are always deals about; it's a cheap standard rate but it's a bad 'deal'.

Sure is

Is there something wrong with staying in a Travelodge when all your looking for is a place to sleep ? I'm not talking a bird, just looking for a twin room to share with me Dad to get some sleep after drinking all day. Nothing fancy is necessary.

Travel lodge is pretty shit but its cheap.
I always stay in travel lodges.

i am in manchester  travel lodge atm cost 29£.

Just dont think its necessary, use the priceline bidding site as someone else suggested.

You should be able to get a 3 star for around £60pn
