10 best cheap hotels
#1 – Lincoln House Hotel
The Lincoln House Hotel is an old Georgian town house close to the department stores in Oxford Street and tourist attractions of Marble Arch. The public rooms have been tastefully decorated in period style.
#2 – Hoxton Hotel
The Hoxton Hotel might well be the most luxurious budget hotel in London, but is let down a little by its location – north of Finsbury Circus. A good buy if you don’t mind travelling around by bus and tube.
#3 – The Pavilion
The Pavilion is probably best for the younger generation – its rooms have “wacky” themes like ‘Oriental Bordello’ and ‘Honky Tonk Afro’. It is a favourite haunt of the musical minded. Don’t say you haven’t been warned…
#4 – Mayflower Hotel
The recently renovated Mayflower Hotel has a rather minimalist, contemporary style – but is one of the best in its price bracket. The rooms have an almost eastern, oriental feel, with tropical palms and ceiling fans.
#5 – Jenkins Hotel
The Jenkins Hotel was once the setting for Agatha Christie’s Poirot, and some of that period charm remains. It occupies a great place in Bloomsbury near the British Museum – close to the shops of Oxford Street.
#6 – B+B Belgravia
The B+B Belgravia can be found in practically every London guide book, for a very good reason – it is one of the best budget hotels around. It is close to Victoria station, near Buckingham Palace and Westminster.
#7 – Seymour Hotel
The Seymour Hotel is situated a couple of minutes from Paddington station, just north of Hyde Park. The tourist attractions of Marble Arch and Madame Tussauds are all within a quick stroll.
#8 – Queen’s Park Hotel
The Queen’s Park Hotel has a good range facilities for such a cheap price. Its location is not too bad either – close to Queensway in Bayswater, and five minutes from Kensington Palace.
#9 – Crestfield Hotel
The Crestfield Hotel is another B&B at rock-bottom prices, a one-minute walk from King’s Cross St. Pancras. Even their cheapest rooms boast a shower, toilet, TV and tea/coffee making facilities.
#10 – Holy House Hotel
We’ve put this one in on price alone – it is probably the cheapest B&B in Victoria. If you don’t mind its small size then the location more than makes up for it, a stone’s throw from Victoria station.
