London hotel - 1 night in April

Ivrytwr3

Morning all,

We are looking at taking 2 x adults and 2 x children to London on 2 April for one night (daughter wants to see Madame Tussards!)

We have used railcards for the train, 2 for 1 on the entry fee, but are struggling to find a hotel.

Last time we visited we stayed in the London City Crowne Plaza for £100 inc b/fast but find it is now £158

We don't want to stay outside the city and travel in as we want to make as much use of our time there as possible.

So, any London hotel offers on at the time we want to stay?! Budget would be up to around £120.

Thanks.

Look on Airbnb. Me and my husband only ever use them now. We only rent complete flats/houses and they are almost always cheaper than hotels plus you can come and go as you please and have the choice of cooking if you want to

You can get a family room in the Southwark Travelodge for £55 on that date. It's pretty close to Tate Modern etc so not too far out.

Most of the Premier Inns come in within your budget. Better located than the Travelodge and far nicer accommodation.

Which train station are you arriving at? I can highly recommend the PIs at Kings Cross and St Pancras if they're convenient to you.

We would look to arrive at Kings Cross.

Interesting!! To limit the walking (youngish children) do you know what area we need to be in? ie for Tussards or somewhere close by.

I have had a quick look, but don't know the areas they are in and google maps takes ages!

The nearest tube station to Tussards would be Baker Street, (about 100 yards walk), which is a 5 minute trip from Kings Cross on the Circle or Met Tube line.

PIs - an abbreviation for Premier Inns, which the poster had given in full earlier in their post
