Places to stay in London town for pokerz..

My mate uses name your price site and he gets some right proper decent deals in 4/5 * hotels and pays less than £90 because that's what he puts as max spend when doing the search.

All sounds good, the more info the better...

It will be priceline he is referring to. I have used it a lot in the US and got some absolute bargins.

Hotwire is good as well but there is no bidding process.

With both the main disadvantage is that you don't know what exact hotel you are going to get just the star rating and area.

I was in London for a couple of days last week, couldnt find anything for less than £100 per night that didnt have seriously health warnings on trip advisor

Well its great I have some options.. Just need some grinders who want to go to London for 2-3 days to rip up some cash games.

They generally have £1/1 and £1/2 24/7 but also have 1/3, 2/5, and bigger most of the time between 4pm- 4am.

Kinda fancy going down the empire, and having a break watching a show or two if im doing well enough and need a break...
Last time i was down that way, there were plenty of adverts for some comedy shows... Surely an hour or so of that would be an ideal relaxant.

Depends what your min standards are I guess, if you want at least a 3 star hotel then you are right. But if you don't mind basic b+b type places there are lots, I accept many will turn their noses up at those though.

Stayed here a few times, it's opposite holland park tube station and has free on site parking. Basic Single 45, if you can share with mates its cheaper in double, triple, quad rooms etc.

I'd agree with that too.

There are a few bargains around that figure on www.laterooms.com sometimes.

Think that's the one.., he says for 4* just put £55 and see what you get.

Here are some tips on using the site. We have stayed in some real nice hotels for peanuts

I would offer you a coach but I already have friend coach surfing in the week... Try some of the places on Endsleigh Street they're dirt cheap...

Jason u r mad ...

What area are u in Jon?

Try some b n b's near hammer smith or Croydon, all about 20 minutes from central... Or just do the whole 72 hour grind like they use to do back in the day 😉

Thanks, I'll be looking it up.  Turns out some social life stuff has gotten in the way today and tomorrow...
Still need to find a friend that wants to go down.  One mate is up for it post xmas but not till then.

I'm in MK, I've done the long grind before Dreenie but last time I fell asleep at the wheel, went into the car in front at 85mph on the M1 going north - managed to spin backwards into the fast lane and then get control and across to the hard shoulder before I died.  Not a scratch on me and that kinda run good isn't going to be tested again.

I've done Shenfield > London Liverpool > Tube to Leicester Square before. Not ideal but works well if you can plan sessions to finish after normal time. About 35 mins total journey. BB in Shenfield like £30 a night.

P.s, be aware on train late/early on regarding muggings, just a precaution.

yeah bit mad Steve. The guy who told me about those sites is proper loaded and when I told him it was £69 to London on the train for the GPS a couple of week ago he told me about the Mega bus. Its less than £5, picks you up at Tesco Scunthorpe, takes you part of the way to London and then you get on the train. All for £5 return... How does that work?

Posted on here 2or 3 years ago but it got deleted about hotels that offered rooms  say from 8am to 4pm 10 to 6 and so on .I thought at the time that would be really good for players staggering out on to Harrowby street at 6am who did not wish to check in somewhere they were only going to use for a couple of hours.
I think it was deleted as the mods thought it was advertising .Obviously they have never finished a long session and paid the day before for a room.
