London Hotels

Hello everyone

Im finding it really hard to find a place in London, everywhere seems to be really exspensive and all the travelodges lodges are either exspensive or full.

I noticed some you can get accommodation in uni halls but is that just for young people?
Im going with my farther on 17th August just need to find a rarther cheap place to stay for 8 days. Any advice anyone ?

    No age limit I've ever heard of. There's no age limit at uni anyway I'd have thought. :beer:

    Ok.

    I was pleased with the clean but small room. I went for the day extras ( wifi,soap,tv,towel) and was extermely pleased. reception were great and it was across the road from Lambeth North tube station ( easily walked from Waterloo) and above a costa coffee.

    My own personal bugbear is that there was no bath. Shower was good but if I was to stay for more than a couple of days then I would need a soak but I am so old hot :).

    Really pleased me if you can't guess and will reccomend to all and sundry.

    PS...Prices go up nearer the booking date so book early
