NEED HELP WITH LONDON HOTELS
 

Can anyone suggest hotels in Central London for late September - about 150.00 dollars per night or so?

Thanks

Karen

At that rate in September your best bet will probably be priceline. Try for something in Mayfair-Soho, or Kensington for about $100 and see what happens.

Yes - Priceline will probably be your best bet. But do NOT just "Try for something . . . . for about $100 and see what happens."

First carefully study biddingfortravel.com. Not only will it give you a very good idea of which hotels in which zones are being "won" at what prices, but it will also give you bidding strategies so you have a better chance to get what you want.

Janis is right...do your homework on biddingfortravel.com, then visit priceline. The combo is invaluable for London. I was extremely pleased with my priceline hotel a couple weeks ago: $124 per night including VAT. I probably could have gotten something cheaper, but it was last minute and I didn't have time to wait for a re-bid. Several Marble Arch area hotels come up on priceline frequently--The Cumberland and the Thistle Marble Arch. I got the Cumberland and loved it. The area is very central, very convenient (just steps from the Marble Arch stop on the Central line, literally next door). But my room was extremely quiet.

..agree with priceline for central London; otherwise you are talking 150 pounds rather than $ in late Sept.

if you don't want to use priceline you can stay at Days Inn Waterloo for less than $150. Its a new, clean hotel only a mile away from Trafalgar Square. Right across from the Imperial War Museum. The rooms are large for London but the bathrooms are pretty small.

I stayed recently at the Travel House Hotel a block from the Notting Hill tube station. The hotel does not serve breakfast, but you get a refrigerator, microwave oven and kitchen sink, at 45 GPB for a double. It is clean and the staff if very friendly.
