Central London Hotels

Sorry, I know this must get asked a lot about staying in London - but am having trouble finding somewhere.
  • I'm looking for a hotel as close to Piccadilly as possible - with a max 15 minute journey.
  • It must have parking. Free blue badge parking would be incredibly helpful, but I know that's highly unlikely!
  • I am hoping to get a room for three people - i.e. a double, and a single. (This seems to be causing a lot trouble, as places like Premier Inn that have rooms with a double and single have a two people max rule which is a shame.)
  • Approx £150 per night max.
Have looked at Travelodge, but the third bed is sofa bed futon type thing, and was hoping for a single bed if possible.

Any suggestions appreciated!

    I know Travelodge's can be pretty hit and miss, with some a lot nicer than others. Has anyone ever stayed at the London Central on City Road, previously called Moorgate?

    Or Covent Garden?

    Am also looking at Farringdon, which has free blue badge parking. Any reviews of this one?

    The Travelodge in Kings Cross has free parking, and three single beds - perfect! It's 12 minutes away. Think I might have found the one?

    Edit: reviews for this are appalling.

    I recently stayed at Think Apartments Earls Court, they also have apartments at Tower Bridge. I don't know about parking sorry as we never take the car to London - much quicker and easier by train for us :-)

    Sorry, I subscribed to the thread but didn't get notifications. Thank you for the suggestions, will have a look.

    Managed to get a Premier Inn this time, but I regularly have to stay in London due to the hospital appointments, so will make note of all of these.
