    B&B / cheap nice central hotel in London?

    Off to London for a weekend break with friends at the end of July.

    Travelodge triple rooms are sold out, only doubles, so we are after an alternative place to stay.

    Even Late Rooms is throwing up silly high prices, we are just after a central crash pad as we will be out and about all the time.

    Other than Premier Inn at £115 per night, any other ideas?

    You might find something by the hour in Kings Cross, otherwise that sounds like a good deal.

      Try Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express.

      Alternatively, The Rathbone in Rathbone St or The Rembrandt in Kensington - I've used both in the past and negotiated good deals direct with the hotel.

              £115 for 2 people and your own bathroom is a good price, I'd book it before the price rises

                Surely it depends how close you want to be to the city centre. We stayed in the holiday Inn near Kingscross in a triple room when I first started down here. That wasn't hugely expensive, but I think I had to use their website rather than a hotels.com type thing. Also, when we went to the Rugby a few months ago we stayed at the Novotel out near Heathrow. That was only about 60 a night including breakfast for a double room which included a sofa bed.

                Also, all the hotel comparison sites offer about 10% cashback via quidco and the like.
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                    I would not want to share a room with Wilmslow for any money, even considering that he is imaginary sockie...
