London Hotels - any ideas

[hectorsheroes]

4 lads heading over for a weekend in May - wanted to stay somewhere central or where there is a bit of craic - bars and thats - looking for two twin rooms for two nights - a Friday and a Saturday - stayed in a place in Bloomsbury before which was sound but its crazy pricey now. I've registered with late rooms to help - sounds like London Bridge and Covent Garden are the spots but if anyone can recommend any hotels it'd be much appreciated

Cheers for that - will definitely have a look there - anyone else have any hotel recommendations?

The London Bridge hotel is lovely, staying there in a couple of weeks myself.  The Hilton at London Bridge is prob extortionate but nice.  There's also a few Novotels in the vicinity - I've def stayed in one where it was walking distance from London Bridge and it was lovely.

Not sure what the prices are like - try a site called Hotwire that doesn't tell you the name of the hotel, just the general location, but worked a treat for me in NYC.

Nice modern hotel with good food and beer, free wifi etc is the Hoxton.

It could be worth chancing your arm at lastminute.com topsecret hotels. You take a chance on the location but usually can find out where the hotel is by doing a bit of research. The price of Hotels in london really is mental.

I'd go with the lastminute.com topsecret hotels - they usually give very good deals on hotels in the City that are emptier at weekends (financial quarter). Bit dead at weekends, but you're only a tube or cab away from west end, or the altogether trendier Hoxton / Old Street, or even Borough, just south of the river.
