Don't know about the hotels but you can save a bundle on your budget by using the London Pass for attractions. It saves you having to queue for tickets and gives you all the details of where you want to go and how to get there.

I have stayed in the Hilton, usual top class hotel, usual glamorous surroundings, however, as you will either be asleep or out all day and not in the room, you might like to save some pennies and consider the link below. Travelodge has some amazing deals at the moment.

I would save your money, eat out in amazing places and see some shows. Stomp is a good one!
Cut costs in London
by sourbugger about Various chains....Travel inn, formula 1, Ibis etc
From Sourbugger's London page :
One way of keeping cost down is to is to look on the websites companies like Formula 1 ,Travel inn, Travelodge, Holiday Inn Express.
There are a number of these places in the east end around Barking and Docklands. As long as the transport links are resonable and you don't want any local nightlife these places are good value.
The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) also provides a more pleasant way of entering London as most of it is above ground before diving underground to get to "Bank" station on weekdays.
Room only prices often come up at about 40-50 pounds a night. None - we are talking chains here, but at least you won't get dodgy decor, unexplained stains on the sheets, or a greasy heart-attack breakfast in the morning. There is also zil chance of the place doubling as the local knocking shop.

Room only prices often come up at about 40-50 pounds a night.
For example, I recently stayed in the Travel inn at Excel (the exhibition centre). There are loads of new hotels springing up around here, including an ETAP and a Ramada.
When there is not a conference / exhibition on then many of the rooms are available and only cost between 40 and 60 pounds a night.
Transport links are limited - but the DLR is increasingly useful and reliable.
Another example is the Holiday Inn express at Canning Town (£60 a room with cont. Breakfast), Standard hotel, as you would expect from a train but right next to Canning Town Tube (jubilee line) which is only eight stops from the heart of the West End.
S is for Supersavers in the UK
by sourbugger about Travelodge
The Travelodge chain has a good range of sites rught throughout the UK.
Many are the 'one size fits all' design, dumped by the side of major motorways and roads, like a McDonalds with romms, but some are re-furbished buildings within cities.
They very therefore quite widely, but all will offer clean, if a little spartan acommodation at a reasonable price. The company has initiated a good range of deals based on the 'low-cost' model for booking spaces pioneered by the airlines.
These deals, basically consist of 26 pound rooms for some dates, not subject to change, and 10 pound rooms which have to be booked well in advance.
This is a great bargain, as long as you know your dates and they "ain't gonna change".
As all rooms are basically the same (there are a few larger family rooms) and at the same price, you won't be fobbed off with a crummy room either.
Several VT members have posted this great deal on the deals section of the VT website.
WONDERFUL B&Bs IN THE NORTH
by zuriga
The north has wonderful B&B's or some very expensive hotels such as the Marriott in Durham. My favorite was the White Swan in Middleham. That's in the Yorkshire Dales and you can hear the jockies riding to the training tracks each morning. If you want a real bargain, try the Travelodge chain. You can't beat the price and locations. The White Swan offers fantastic breakfasts (included) and gourmet dinners. I've never eaten so well in England.

Near Heathrow
by Britannia2 about Travelodge Heathrow Central
This is a very basic Travelodge on the Bath Road about 2 miles from Heathrow. Built from premade blocks in China and put together on site this just about explains how basic this establishment is.
The rooms are basic and functional although the bed is very good. The bathroom is basic and had a most awful smell of the drains that even several sprays of deodorant aerosol could not stem.
The hotel appeared to be running on just five staff - two receptionists, a bar man, a waitress who appeared to be the cook too and a very over worked manager.
The bar / restaurant had all the charm of a school canteen and food took forever to arrive at the the table but with only one staff member working in the restaurant this was understandable.
The hotel however is cheap and I only paid £29 for room only. Easy to get to on the Heathrow shuttle buses - if you are on a budget it could be worth considering but there are other options.
I stayed here on 13/1/10.
Rude Service,mulfunction key cards, dirty room.
by unhappytraveller21 about Travelodge London Croydon Central
The house keeper never clean the flooring and when they change the bedding they just throw the bedding on the floor. All the tables and surfaces arn't never cleaned. And they just check once a day for the cleaning, if the door have the DND door hanger on when they pass the door. They would just skip the house keeping service for 1-2 days.
Besides, there's a very mean front desk stuff called Purnika. She never listen to clients. She just ignore me when I was talking to her and she said I was rude when I talked to her, so she didn't want to talk to me. I never encounter this kind of poor service before. So do I need to be very happy when my keys didn't work for 2 days in a row? This's a nightmare for me staying in this hotel. Location.

Hi, Does anyone know what the Travelodge Royal scot hotel is like in Kings cross road, London? Im staying there in September and just want to know what to expect. thanks.
RE: travelodge

I have not stayed there but it looks like the location may not be very good to walk around late at night so be a little careful, especially around Kings Cross.
I recommend going towards Islington rather than Kings Cross for restaurants, bars etc. You can also get into the tourist part of the City quite easily. There are plenty of bus routes around and tube stations close by.
The British Library past Kings Cross towards Euston is well worth a visit and if you are interested in history they have a "Front Page" exhibition on at the moment with newspapers showing all the major British events in recent history.
Have a good time in London

We've stayed there overnight between arriving from Scotland and going on to the continent. Travelodge is a perfectly adequate range of budget hotels, owned by Whitbread. They charge per room, breakfast is extra. They are clean and safe. Don't know how long you will be staying there but the area for a couple of nights would be okay. Various eating places round and about and off the main streets as well.

Travelodge is a large chain of hotels, as stated above, for business people and tourists. Perfectly acceptable accommodation, if sometimes a bit soulless.
