Wainy316 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Off to see the Book of Mormon at the West End on 23rd. Was hoping on tips on where to stay where we'd be in decent proximity to the area without breaking the bank. Everywhere in the immediate vicinity appears to be hideously overpriced.

islingtonclaret Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'd head East to somewhere accessible to the Central line I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Cheers will have a look. Who actually pays £400 for a room for one night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Cheers will have a look. Who actually pays £400 for a room for one night? Nobody - that is the price that they put out so that you think you are getting a bargain. The usual web sites like Lastminute.com (especially the un-named ones that you can quickly work out which they are) are often good for what you are looking for - plus use Quidco / TopCashback etc and get a few more quid off things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'd look for somewhere Earls Court way. It'd be the Piccadilly line straight into Piccadilly Circus and back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, check hotels in the city (sq mile). They're generally dead at weekends so offers to be had. As for me, whenever I'm in London, I tend to stay at my house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Probably a bit late for the 23rd but get yourself a Hilton Homage Card .. I pay £140 a year for it and get a "free" nights stay at the Hilton Waldorf , "free " afternoon tea for 2 and 50 % of meals and drinks at any Hilton .. Have a meal at the place and you get a free bottle of champagne and cake if its a celebration Free is in brackets as clearly I've paid £140 ....The room rate is £250 a night at the Hilton so the card is worth it just for the room alone , the afternoon tea is worth £50 so the card is great value , I've had one for about 4 years now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted November 15, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2013 I've stayed at the Radisson Edwardian Grafton on Tottenham Court Road many times now and think it's a great hotel in a great location. Ideal for the West End as it's about a 10 minute walk. If you're looking for bargains you could try lastminute.com and choose one of their "surprise" hotels. You don't find out where it is until you book but if you put their vague pre-booking description into Google you'll probably find out where it is. What's your budget?

Wainy316 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 I wouldn't really want to spend much more than £150 (Less would be even better ). As I'm getting the train from Oxford I'll be rolling into Paddington, so might be good to stay there as it's a few stops to Picadilly Circus on the Bakerloo line.

tonyh29 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Travel lodge has loads around the London area ranging from about £109 (vauxhall ) to £150 Euston for the night of the 23rd or you could stay at Royal Cambridge Paddington for £109 for a 3 * ok'ish sort of hotel (breakfast & Vat included ) Edited November 15, 2013 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 There are some nice hotels in Bayswater. I stayed in the Westland hotel with Mrs The_Rev a few weeks ago, paid £130 for a "premier" room and it was bloody lovely. Really nice location too.

Wainy316 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Cheers guys. I plumped for a hotel near Kensington High Street, good offer at £95 and 4*. A 25 minute underground ride direct on the Picadilly line to Picadilly Circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
