    Recommendation for B&B or cheap hotel for commute to St Paul's tube station, London

    All

    Does anyone know of any good reasonably priced hotels or preferably B&Bs which would mean a reasonably short commute (30 mins or less) to St Paul's in London please?

    Thanks for your help.

    HolidayInn in Southwark, is approx 10 mins walk on the other side of the river.
    what's your budget like? There are some great apartments near Towerhill area as well.

      Quite a few round my way - SE London. St Pauls is about 5 minutes walk from Cannon Street. Here is one I picked at random near mottingham Bed and breakfast in Near Mottingham, New Eltham and Chislehurst (Southeast London) - B&B Net Ref No. LMB001 . Not sure where you are living now - but one advantage is that this area is very close to the M25.

          Never failed me yet. After using airbnb you'll avoid using a hotel again, especially those near heathrow airport.

            Hotels in London | Hotel Results | LondonTown.comDont bother with the breakfast part, it is usualy a rip off. You would be better at a local cafe for a mug of T and a bacon banjo.
            Just saying like.

            where there's chaos, there's cash !

            I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

              or a chocolate banjo if that is your thing...

                My budget is about £90 - £100 per night, but of course less is possible.

                  I'd call Holiday Inn. Long term they tend to let you have some good rates. In Edinburgh, I got a long term rate of 50+ days at £55. Newport more or less the same. Let you leave the bags over the weekend too. I think as they are franchised, once you get there, you can discuss it with the business manager about rates. They also have a good card point system which gets the Mrs and I over to France 4 times a year to their resort in Le Touquet which is rather nice.

                    Thank you for your recommendations, especially the Holiday Inn at Southwark. Unfortunately as I need something for tomorrow for the rest of the week, it worked out understandably a touch on the expensive side at £149 per night, so opted for the cheaper Ibis London City. Thanks again for your help.
