Scoop1107 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Still hunting for a hotel, not sure whether to stay next to Kings Cross as we normally do, then again I'd prefer to stay next to the venue. I want something really cheap...is that possible in London? xxx That kind of depends what you class as really cheap I suppose. I've booked a room in a hotel/B&B type place for £55 inc. breakfast (that's for a single room), and that's just across the road from the venue. For me, that is cheap in London. I think there is an Easyhotel mentioned above which is reasonable aswell, and a few people seem to be stopping there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple_Vamp Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Easy Hotel is great until you get totally hammered!! Then the orange kinda makes things worse - especially the bathroom!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veasse Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I picked up two rooms at premier inn heathrow for 29 per night. very good and it has parking even though you have pay for it! It means we are near the tube enough but far enough outside of London to just get on the road home asap. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to self, do not get hammered then go back to the hotel - spinning walls are bad enough but orange ones? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I just booked a double room at the Premier Inn Kensington for a total of £98 for 2 nights - bargain. I love those hotels anyway and would always choose them over anything else. Least that is sorted now. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liremaer Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Not sur eif it's a good or a bad thing but i've booked into the holland inn about a hundred metres down the road, so hopefully not too far to trot in full tudor gear. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I looked at that Holland Inn hotel, and was going to stay there until I found the Premier Inn special offer. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Tempted to book easy hotel. Do they have an early checkin option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erin_sumara Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Tempted to book easy hotel. Do they have an early checkin option? When I booked mine I don't remember it giving me the option for early or late check in just the tv, but we're getting off the train and going straight to olympia and checking in at the hotel in the evening, long day but saves us missing anything i guess. hope that helped?

I thought it was quite reasonably priced and really close, which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liremaer Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Can't remember. Lol. I know it's the one which is almost over the road from the venue. I think it's the holland court. But don't quote me. £142 for 3 nights though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they do lush breakfasts. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth_ferret Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I was in a Premier Inn last weekend that begs to differ! However in general I will agree with you, Premier Inn and Holiday Inn are pretty good. I would rather sleep in the boot of my car though than stay in a refugee camp. Sorry 'Travelodge'.

Aww, what was wrong with the one you stayed in last weekend? Never stayed in a Travelodge, never been too keen on them after reading reviews etc. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators etmuse Posted October 8, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've stayed in several perfectly decent Travelodges. Wouldn't want to stay in one for more than a few nights in a row, but most of them are fine for that long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erin_sumara Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've only ever stayed in travel lodge and found them adequate for a decent nights sleep but couldn't do it for more than a couple of days. Tbf I'm not holding any high standards for easyhotel - its got a bed and a bathroom, is all i ask for, has saved me like £40 in booking and probably another tenner on my oyster card so for the one night we'll manage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantellios Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 i was in kings cross royal scot travelodge tuesday-wednesday and: the single beds were appauling, there were three of us in single beds and we could barely walk up the sides of the beds. the beds were no wider than three foot; which for me is uncomfortable. we got 1.5 toilet rolls(yes, 1 and a half). and the woman behind the desk was trying to rip us off. she told us that check in was at three (we arrived at twenty past two) and told us it'd cost £10 to book in 40 minutes early. little did she know that we knew book in time was 2:30 and so she was trying to get us to give £10 for 10 minutes wait. what a rip :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdrunk Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The way I look at hotels is that if its safe enough to lock your stuff in and has a bed (which is important!), it'll be fine! I mean it's not as if you're going to be spending all day in an hotel room is it? Shop around on the interweb and find the best price you can!

timecake Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Does anyone know if there's a cheapish hotel near the actual event? Or failing that, does anyone know how far a walk the EasyHotel Earls Court is from the event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthnad Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 EasyHotel is about 10 mins walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
