London - hotel help

I'm trying to decide on a hotel for my stay in London in June. I will be staying for nine nights, and while I don't plan on spending too much time in the room, other than sleeping, I would at least like it to be clean and tolerable. I definitely want a room with a shower / toilet in the room. Breakfast included would be nice, but isn't a must. I would also like it to be in a good location, with easy access to tourist-y sites, restaurants, etc. I would say my budget is no more than 75-80 pounds/night.

I stumbled upon this website: http://www.discounted-hotels-london.co.uk
& I put together a list of potential places...I've looked a little on trip advisor, but there's always such a range of opinion, I find it hard to decide on anything!!

Does anyone have any experience with any of these places? (sorry, long list!)

ashley hotel
nayland hotel
griffin house hotel
ventures hotel
camelot house hotel
classic hotel
piccolino
astor court
rose court
ascot hyde park hotel
mina house
elysee
brunel
glendale hyde park
kings hotel
jubilee
winchester
airways
hanover
blair victoria & tudor inn
victoria inn
reem
kensington court baywater

I never understand these posts on Fodors - at the most you'll get the personal opinions of a few people who've stayed at maybe 3 or 4 of the hotels you mention. For a better cross-section of reviewers' opinion, you're far better off at tripadvisor.com.

People here have used Priceline sucessfully.

Also, do not forget that B&Bs are a good option in London.

Also...have you looked in the Fodor Guide to London here? They have some suggestions.

Rick Steve's guide books always give low budget places to stay, also check out www.londontown.com

I'm familiar w/ maybe 3 or 4 on your list but haven't stayed at any (and probably wouldn't consider most of them)

You have this long laundry list of miscellaneous budget B&B hotels - instead of doing it that way, it would be MUCH better if you told us your budget and then asked for recommendations.

If your budget is $85-$100/£55-£65 a night, using Priceline you can get a 4 star place 10000% better than any on your list
