Hotels...B&Bs anyhting for a long weekend in London

Basically me and three friends would like to visit London either early august, 25th aug or 1st sept. Were travelling up on the friday and want to book somewhere for three nights...Any combination of rooms will do us we dont mind sharing a famaily room or four singles or whatever. We need some sort of wash facilites and preferably near a tube/train station so we can get t central London...Any ideas? Ive been searching but Im useless All I can find is a travel lodge for £220...is this cheap? Or somewhere else be better?

Thanks alot,
Neato

    I'd recommend doing a search on https://www.venere.com - really helpful website with lots of good maps/reviews, and reasonable prices too (which you also don't have to pay in advance!)
    Plus for 4% off, use code: BK5HX8W

    Hope that helps

    Hi,

    I stayed at the Holly House Hotel. It is literally 2 mins walk from Victoria Station, not far from Buckingham Palace. It is basic, but you get a TV and tea and coffee making facilities and the rooms are clean. It is shared bathroom, but they are clean and fine for a few nights.

    It would work out £288 B&B for all four of you for the weekend of August 25th.

    Hope this helps?

    I doubt that you'd be able to sneak them past reception, plus there's also fire regulations.......................

    Have you looked on www.hotelscomparison.com ? Quite a good search engine, scanning alot of the normal discount websites, like venere.com

    £220 is cheap. You can go Youth Hostelling https://www.yha.org.uk. Then you can make your own meals and cut costs that way We stayed at Holland Park Hostel near the tube and near shops for food. That's if you don't mind bunk beds!
