A surefire way to keep your bill under £100 for a night in London is to opt for a budget chain hotel. The best provide basic, clean and cheap accommodation in greater and central London. Remember, prices vary according to when you book and when you stay.
Always check for special deals, discounts and offers on accommodation.
easyHotel
The brainchild of easyJet's Stelios Haji-Ioannou, EasyHotels offer central, small, basic, squeaky clean rooms which can be had for as little as £25 if booked early enough (rooms can only be booked online). The Kensington hotel is now open; a second has recently opened in Victoria; and a third is set to open at Earl's Court in June. Not for claustrophobes, as many rooms don't even have windows.
Express by Holiday Inn
Book OnlineA well-run, fast-growing division of the Holiday Inn Group, Express by Holiday Inn has 18 hotels in central London and the suburbs from Limehouse to Wimbledon. Every room has satellite TV and internet connection, and breakfast is included in the price. Its flagship Southwark hotel is handy for the South Bank and the City.
Ibis
Book OnlineFriendly, helpful staff and an array of little extras are the hallmarks of Ibis hotels, where breakfast is available from 4am to noon and last check-out isn't until midday. Bedrooms are spotless with firm, comfortable beds, good lighting, plenty of storage and power showers. A chain that prides itself on customer satisfaction.
Novotel
Book OnlineCombining modern, comfortable rooms with restaurants, facilities for work and play, and parking, was a novel concept in 1967 when the first Novotel opened in France. There are now eight across London in this ever-expanding chain, their clean, airy rooms, well-equipped bathrooms and generous breakfasts making them equally popular with business travellers and tourists.
Premier Inn
Book OnlinePremier Inn, now the UK's largest chain, guarantees 'clean, comfortable accommodation, with friendly helpful service' or your money back. Public rooms are reasonably smart and well-presented, and the larger-than-average bedrooms have comfortable king-sized beds with good quality duvets and pillows. Room prices start at £48 per night.
Travelodge
Book OnlineTop of the value-for-money poll, Travelodge offers its no-frills 'Saver' rooms for as little as £29 a night (only available online). There are 13 London hotels including one in Covent Garden, with many more planned over the next decade. Rooms are functional but clean, with first-rate showers and tea/coffee-making facilities.
