    NH Kensington

    Nooooo Not the Novotel! Avoid this one, it's Best Western Shaftesbury Paddington Court.
    *Amazing deal at Cool Luxury City Centre Hotel- A modern and stylish 4 star hotel in the city centre. Only a short walk from 2 underground stations - 4* - London £125 which hotel you think?
    Crowne Plaza London the City

    The Cranley
    * Upscale property in West London, Kensington - 4* - London £125 I think is Hilton London Kensington it is ok?
    Yep this is Hilton London Kensington, it's absolutely fine. Is cheaper on the Hilton website at £113 inc breakfast.

    What is your suggestion? Do you have other offers to suggest? I understand breakfast is not included in this option

    I suggest waiting a bit as I think you will find a better deal nearer the time. The Cranley is the only one that isn't likely to go down further in price. It's up to you though as it gets a bit riskier now we're getting into tourist season.

    Hi all, I am looking for some help finding a hotel in london on May 12. I need 2 double rooms and would like to be central or in Paddington area. Our budget is about £120 but could stretch up a little with a good deal. I would appreciate any help or tips. Thanks

    I can't see too much that looks great right now, I think it's worth waiting till a bit nearer the time. Again a bit of a risk but if you want a good deal it's one worth taking.

    Comfort and style in South Kensington - 4 - Style and elegance in the heart of South Kensington, enjoy modern amenities in this boutique hotel. Flat screen TVs, iPod stations and complimentary WiFi are available in all rooms - I think it is The Cranley am I right?

    I found and offer for the Mint Tower of London at £129 b&b- What you say? it is better than the top secret I mentioned in my previous post?

    THANKS!!!!

    Thanks Pelican for you suggestions! I think I wont wait. I will choose between:
    The Cranley - Hilton London Kensington (witn breakfast) - Mint Tower of London (with breakfast) - I need the hotel to be close to a tube station, what do you suggest of this 3 options?

    What kind of rate have you found on Mint Tower of London? It's very handy for the tube (about 2 mins from Tower Hill stn) and a very good hotel. Hilton Kensington is around 3-4 mins from Shepherd's Bush tube station and the Cranley is 6-7 minutes from Gloucester Road tube.

    Couple of other hotels near tubes that are worth considering:

    London Bridge Hotel £120 inc breakfast (hotels4u) literally about 1min from London Bridge tube.
    Park City Hotel £122 inc breakfast (hotels4u) about 7 mins from Gloucester Road tube.

    Thanks again Pelican. I found a spring rate at Mint hotels web site (non refundable) £129 inc breakfast. But your suggestion for London Bridge Hotel £120 inc breakfast is also good. Taking into consideration that both hotel are perfectly close from tubes, which hotel you consider better? I see both hotel are not very central but having the tube close it easy to access to all tourist atraction,am i right?
    THANKS AGAIN, I wait for your suggestion so I can finally book the rooms.
  • Hi - I have a budget of around £150 and looking for a central hotel for April 17th.

    Any help appreciated.
