Get a room, that can hold either 2 or 4 people, for prices starting from 19 pounds per night. www.travelodge.co.uk/I checked for London in August, and saw some 29-pound rooms that are in very central locations. The main caveat I would have about Travelodge UK is that you cannot check in early, and you cannot store your luggage after checkout. If you can live with these two restrictions, then it should be fine if you are okay with standard, budget (but ensuite) rooms. I know pointofnoreturn had a positive report about Travelodge UK. |

I've always liked Travelodge. You just need to be very flexible and prepared. We knew about the 3 PM check-in and always planned our arrival around that. If we were to arrive in a city earlier than 3 PM, it doesn't hurt to look for bag storage places (i.e. train stations, backpacking hostels, etc).

Looks like a great deal. But we have never been to London before. We would like walking distance to pubs. Tube close by. Safe. Where would you recommend to stay.
Thanks, Mike

It's hard to tell what's good and what's not. My advice for you would be to look for the cheap Super Saver rates on Travelodge.co.uk and compare the reviews on Trip Advisor (by plugging in the name of the Travelodge branch).
I stayed at the Farringdon one in London - 2 mins bus ride from Kings Cross (bus stop is right outside) and there were plenty of restaurants around albeit these were in the Kings Cross district.

If you see one in London with a good rate, you can put in Google maps and see where it's located. You do want to make sure to be close to good transit lines. Or you can post the name of the one you are considering.
If you want the very best located one, I'd say it's Travelodge Covent Garden, but naturally it's often very difficult to get good rates there. When are you going to London?

We will be in London March 18 for 3 nights. A hostel may be best for us. Still searching around.

I'd check Travelodge for deals as you may find it works out better for you than a Hostel. However if you have no luck, try these: The Generator – www.generatorhostels.com/london is located between Russell Square and Euston, big rooms, good breakfast and good location too Astor Hostels ( www.astorhostels.com/ ) are all good, try the Museum Hostel (between Covent Garden and Russell Square), Hyde Park Hostel (just near the park in west London) or Victoria Hostel (a few minutes walk from Victoria station – busses, underground and train to Gatwick airport) City of London YHA ( www.yha.org.uk/find-accommodation/london/hostels/london-st-pauls/index.aspx ) is just near St Paul’s Cathedral |
