What's the Cheapest accommodation now for London 2012 Olympics?

What's the Cheapest accommodation now for London 2012 Olympics? I am able to find $51 per night during the Olympics period, but not sure if they are comfortable enough. Have anybody lived in these hotels before? Would appreciate any comments.
Here is the link to the cheap hotel search

They're not hotels, they're hostels. You get what you pay for (how secure can your belongings be? what if everyone else is a party-crazed "frat boy" type?).

London is one of the worst cities for hotel values under the best of circumstances, let alone a time for predatory business practices.

That is not a hotel.

That is a single bed in a shared dorm room - with bathroom and shower down the hall. Have no idea what that hostel is like - many are not great (partyng all night, drugs, theft etc).

Suggest you go to Thorn Tree section of Lonely Planet web site to see which hostels they reco.

If you want cheap, how about £10 a night;

I'd certainly prefer it to a hostel...

Hostelworld review of the hostel: http://goo.gl/q6gPV

Not exactly the Ritz, but considering the price, I expected the reviews to be worse.
