bruisevioletx Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm in the same boat... sort of! I did attend LFCC in July with friends, but ended up staying in a hotel in Hounslow. I'll probably be doing this one on my lonesome so ideally, if I do end up doing both days, I don't want to be staying too far away. So yes, suggestions would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck73 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 We stayed at the Easy Hotel on West Cromwell Road for LFCC &, as ECO2 isn't far from EC2, will probably stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhy135 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I'd up for room-sharing with someone, or offering a spare bed if I've booked my own place. My MSN details are in my profile <- Edited August 12, 2009 by Rhys135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblackrose Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Have booked Ibis again same as LFCC, nice hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liessa Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 We were in Hotel Lily. It's even closer than the Ibis (about 30 feet, I guess). We stayed for 2 nights with 3 in the room, and paid 200 GBP total. This included a very decent english breakfast, but not all clean towels (for some weird reason, they decided to change only one towel, leaving two not so clean ones. But we were leaving the day after anyways, so no matter). Room with own bath/shower and toilet. More weird stuff: it had a tv, but no connection, so the only thing on was half snow/half wobbly concentration of images. Beds were decent too, though the decor certainly needed some updating. It wasn't dirty or anything, on the contrary, but it was just old. You could see where they'd fixed the ceiling and stuff. Also has wifi for 5 pounds for the whole stay, with a pretty good and speedy connection. I'd book there again, and the two friends I was with agreed. It doesn't offer much more than a bed and a bathroom, but for a convention that's all I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at that... you have to pay £5 for the TV remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liessa Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 precisely! I never use the hotel tv at conventions, I usually am either so knackered I drop into bed, or spend the evenings doing nice things with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck73 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 When we were at LFCC, we were out of the hotel by between 7-8am & had met up with friends for dinner & drinks afterwards so didn't get back til nearly midnight anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthnad Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Seconding the EasyHotel - stay there for LFCC every year - never had a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0RDEL1A Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 geez, I didn't say I was bothered by not having a remote, just surprised at having to pay for it - never heard of that before!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky242 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Think you pay for all extras at the Easy Hotel: Remote, window, towels, bed, air................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarabell Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well I'm booked into the Ibis again, anyone know how far it is to this new venue??!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruisevioletx Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks for all the info! I'm still undecided as to whether or not I'll be coming down for the full weekend or just a day but it's definitely been a help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat in boots Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Well I'm booked into the Ibis again, anyone know how far it is to this new venue??!!! I just went on to multimap put in postcode for the venue and the hotel, chose walking for the directions and it gave me the distance and even how long to walk it. About 0.94 miles and 18 mins. The Premier Inn London Kensington Olympia is 0.78 miles and 15 mins and the Kensington earls court one is 1.08 miles and 21 mins.

Avengers7 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Would anyone know of a hotel/travellodge/premier inn nearby with a car park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellefyne Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Would anyone know of a hotel/travellodge/premier inn nearby with a car park? I remember I saw a Premier Inn nearby Earls Court when I went there, but I don't know if it has a car park... I'm quite sure the Ibis does have a car park though...

vicki Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Would anyone know of a hotel/travellodge/premier inn nearby with a car park? The Ibis has a car park. This is where we normally stay. Car park is quite pricey though. Costs £14 for 24hrs, but ur paying for most hotel carparks anyway and this is one of the few local hotels we found with a carpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyT Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Would anyone know of a hotel/travellodge/premier inn nearby with a car park? Hammersmith Premier Inn - I believe the 27 bus takes you down King Street and the one way system, across Hammersmith Broadway and along Hammersmith Road to Olympia; or you can walk it if you want; it's about a mile and a third. (and whilst I haven't been there in a few years, the area around the hotel used to have a number of decent curry houses) There's a travelodge in Fulham on North End Road (also about a mile and a third from the venue), but no car park; you have to park in a car park at Fulham Broadway about half a mile away. The Ibis is a little further up North End Road and round the corner on Lillie Road - it's a little closer to the venue, maybe a mile's walk.

C.Parkers-Girl Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Staying at Travelodge:Liverpool Street. I know its 100's miles away but tubes are good, Just hope there are not planned works on the District line that weekend. Closest Travelodge is Fulham but im 99% sure its fully booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
