Taking a vacation to London can be expensive. While the city is certainly worth the cost, it doesn’t hurt to shave a few dollars (or pounds) off here and there. Since your hotel is possibly the most expensive thing about your entire trip (especially if you’re staying for more than one night), it only makes sense that you start your budgeting there.
Here are five affordable hotels in London, England:
Tune Hotels – The Tune Hotels are located on both Westminster and Liverpool streets. This means that they are right in central London which is perfect if you are a tourist. If you want frills and luxury, you might want to go elsewhere, but if you want cheap, go here. Booking in advance can get you an average room at £35 per night and sometimes as incredibly low as 9 pounds per night! You can’t beat that deal!
Umi Hotel– The Umi Hotel is another great budget hotel. The hotel has 3 stars and offers many services only offered by 5 star hotels. The hotel has a restaurant and bar, has fresh flowers outside and has very reasonable food prices. You can get a room starting at under 50 pounds per night. The Umi also offers services for disabled guests and is often frequented by repeat guests.
55 – The 55 which is a play on Hangar 55 as it is located on Hangar Street, is a very modern, stylish hotel. They feature king size beds with orthopedic mattresses, an outdoor garden, Japanese restaurant, 24 hour lounge and drip art. Depending on when you book, you can get some very good deals for this hotel. Booking well in advance can also save you a great deal of money.
The Hoxton – The Hoxton is famous for its periodic £1 sale of 500 of its rooms. If you want to go for this deal, you should definitely watch for it because the last time they hosted the sale, the rooms sold in 10 minutes. The Hoxton is chic, fashionably decorated and a very nice place to stay. They also provide a complimentary continental breakfast of yogurt, orange juice and a banana. Try booking early for cheap rates.
Travelodge – If you book up to a year in advance and at the right times of the year, you can get rooms here for £19 per night. This is a steal when you consider that many other rooms in the area cost up to a hundred pounds per night. If you’re looking for class, try something more expensive. If you just want to have a place to sleep after a long day of exploring London, then the Travelodge is perfect.
If you don’t like any of these cheap London hotels you could always go looking for more. Remember that the sooner you book, the cheaper your hotel will be. You can also consider that hotels are more expensive during peak travel times (such as in the summer). Traveling to London during the winter or spring could save you money.
