Cheap Hotel in London

1 Star and 2 star hotels in Central London

London is an expensive place to stay but usually there are always some cheap hotels to be found. If you are staying at the weekend then many 4 star and 5 star London hotels offer discount prices to make up for the lack of business travellers. The area that you select will also have an impact on the price that you pay. Very central London, the West End, is always more expensive than the surrounding areas so if you can not find a bargain here then try Bayswater, Victoria or Kensington. All these districts are still close to the action and offer cheap hotel rates.

In this category of London hotels, we will try to identify suitable accommodation for the visitor to London who is on a reasonably tight budget because of personal circumstances or even because of currency exchange rates. This person is looking for a London hotel which offers clean and presentable accommodation and probably not expecting any "frills". Its hard because its very easy to locate a cheap London hotel within your budget but like most major cities there are many bad experiences. The lower bracket of hotel trade in London on the whole tends to be greedy, letting refurbishment periods be extended to save money and are more interested in the property value rather than customer service. One option is to take advantage of the lower rates / better standards of the many new budget hotels in the outskirts of London.

What is cheap London accommodation?
We have taken a price range of approximately £20 up to £70 a night for 2 persons. Some of the London hotels that we have placed into this category offer differing rates at the weekends, usually higher, however, in the City of London ( the Financial District ) rates at the weekend tend to be lower because of the lack of business travellers therefore if you dont mind this area then its usually possible to get a bargain. Remember that if you stay in the city you will have to travel to access main attractions which are one or two miles to the east in the West End of London and Kensington / Knightsbridge. Alternatively consider staying outside of the centre of London where rates are lower and in most cases standards higher and there is still underground / bus travel into the centre.
