Decent mid range priced hotels in London

[finn5555]

Been looking at laterooms to book a hotel in London and the prices are ridiculous 

Anyone got any tips? Ideally pro$$ie friendly with no stupid keycard entry 

Thanks

Try trivago...I usually find good deals on their as its a comparison site (although not booked a London hotel so couldn't tell you if it would be any use to you)

So, for an overnight trip to London in February 2014, I delved into Expedia's site, figuring that they'd be trying to up-the-competition.
Lo and behold, I found their rate, at that time, to be the lowest online price on the day, for the very comfortable Hilton Paddington, fit for my attempt to entice over the delicious - External Link/Members Only or External Link/Members Only
Ironically, our fluffy adventure began with a late-night in-call at her location, near Earls Court Underground station, and fuelled by generous quantities of the white wine that she provided, ended there, after a splendid lunch the next day.

Maximum of £120 a night I guess

Serviced apartment in London can work out cheaper than a hotel

check out the ones around London Bridge as they are cheaper than mosts

Are you definitely staying the night? You can get day use hotels for around £50-£60..there's a good 4 star near London Bridge. Have a look at between9andfive.com - I think that's the link I used.

You can either have keycard entry (Travelodge, Ibis etc) or you can pay a lot more, in my experience.

Keycard entry isn't a problem. Get the girl to text you 2 mins before arriving. You go down to meet her. She is, of course, a student of yours who's come for a private meeting. Should anyone ask. Which they won't.

This has the advantage, if you've not met her before, of screening out the total munters BEFORE you get to your room.

Anyway.... try External Link/Members Only  for daytime rates, often pretty good.

Hoxton Hotel (External Link/Members Only) has day rates for 99 quid. No keycard entry, v nice rooms too.

Central-ish Travelodges can often be had for no more than 60 quid. Early check-in (midday, instead of 3pm) is only an extra tenner, as is late check out (3pm instead of midday).

I like this group of hotels...
Grange Hotels (google it - didn't want to link them as then they'll see what we're up to! )

If I was planning to book a WG to visit me then I'd pick one of their larger hotels (e.g. Grange St Paul's) as I reckon this would be more discreet.  Book with plenty of notice as I do, and try to be flexible about the days you want to go and you'll often find rates within budget.

Have been having a look for day hotels recently and also found this site

H10 near Waterloo features prominently. Not tried it myself yet, but looks promising.
