Looking for a hotel recommendation.

London - preferably south of the river and close to the Jubilee line please

I don't want to sell a kidney just to stay there for one night if possible.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

"I recommend trying airbnb then "

That's an idea. Wonder how many allow just the 1 night?

NW London

Does it have to be a hotel? Cheapest place would possibly be St Christopher Inn on Borough High Street but it's a hostel.

Otherwise maybe try looking for BnBs

London and France

CitizenM;

South bank, a stones throw from Tate modern.

Brilliant concept and very cool.

There is another CitizenM near Tower bridge.

There and to the left a bit

Travelodge/Premier Inn/Ibis all offer reasonable rates if you book far enough in advance - was looking the other day with the London social in mind and the Covent Garden Travelodge was £99 for the night and they had others for less than that.

Or, try a LastMinute "Secret" hotel, you can usually figure out what one it is by looking at the number of TripAdvisor reviews it has, then looking at the listings to find a match.

Some of those deals are really pretty good.

It all depends on your budget. I find it quite easy to find good hotels at £125 and below in London. What price point are you looking at?

I meant to add, you can gamble and leave it, then try LateRooms, but that can back fire in London.

I feel like I've written this before but anyways. It's nearly always cheaper to go direct through the hotel when booking a room. Laterooms and companies like that charge more. What price range are you looking at?

Hotels do also use OTA's to shift late stock,some are also using airbnb, always worth checking both

Some good suggestions thanks

I'm looking at up to £120ish depending on what it looks like. You can spend that and get a tiny room.

Some quite nice places on air bnb and Trivago has thrown up some options

They use OTA's in order to reach more people and have a wider platform - not to provide the best price for potential guests. OTA's are useful in creating a false sense of economy and urgency for a guest with the '1 room left' stuff. Just try the hotel first.

This; plus many hotels / chains have liyaltyvsetups that give you significant discounts/ upgrades.

I can always get a hotel cheaper direct than through the websites

Yes I am aware of that as I come across it on a daily basis for work but i have found the OTA can sometimes come out cheaper. The last hotel I booked was 30% cheaper on booking.com than the hotel website as it was 'deal of the day' I called and they wouldn't price match.

All I'm saying is try both. A platform such a Trivago / booking.com are great sites for sourcing where to stay initially then compare against the hotels on website to obtain the best price.

I guess because deal with the OTAs almost daily also I have a bit of a dislike for them and the false economy they often provide. But casting aside my own prejudice, yes. Both is probably a good shout OP.

I love Hotel Rafayel which is in Battersea I believe. Different kinds of rooms available and you can request a Thames view room. Prices may be a bit on the high end but you can get good bargains at times.

You also have Park Plaza County Hall near Westminster which is nice as well. Close to Jubilee line as well from what I recall.

Personally, I wouldn't book hotels from laterooms or sites like that, as they usually end up charging you a bit extra than booking direct from the company itself.

Love my hotel stays you see.

The lily hotel at Earl's Court, rooms are a bit small and the breakfast sucks but for 60quid a night that's what you get.

Holiday Inn Express Southwark is quite good and quite handy.

Oh I agree I dislike the false economy they have created within the industry, don't get me started on rate parity

I love the Rafayel too... I have very fond memories of my nights there. It was also the place that introduced me to French Martinis. Such friendly staff too.

I usually stay in the Hilton by Canary Wharf when I'm in London. It's not cheap but even the "basic rooms" are huge. I've used it each time I've ridden the London 100 and they have been cool about me keeping my bike in the room. Even in 2014 when it pissed down and my bike and all my kit was soaking wet and filthy.

Central

I've not stayed in it but I read tons of very poor reviews for a Travelodge south of the Thames - some are better than others, so check first. I tend to book directly with hotels, where you gain full loyal guest privileges, such as upgrades and free nights. I'm in central London this week and February for well below £100. I get on mailing lists for offers too.

Marylebone hotel is good, some reasonable offers around the £200 mark for the night. Always stay there when we go south.

Thanks for the recommendations all
