Does anyone know of any good cheap hotels in London?

A friend and I are going down to London next month for 5 days and need a good cheap hotel to stay in as we're both students, haha.

If you are really strapped for cash, then stay with all the other students at the 800 person Generator Hostel in Bloomsbury. That' about as cheap as you can get, and it's within walking distance of King's Cross. If you can get a 2 person room it is 25GBP apiece and includes a continental breakfast.

===============

Imperial hotels are very inexpensive. They are in Bloomsbury so they are not real close to the center.

= If you have a little more money, the Strand Palace Hotel is in a better location. The single rooms are fairly cheap, but they are like barracks.

= An inexpensive walkup with a very very central location is the Royal Adelphi. It is on a side street next to Charing Cross rail station.

= Travel Lodge in covent garden is pretty good.

= Premier Travel Inn in County Hall is usually booked, but it's right next to the London Eye.

==============

The prices of hotels in London vary quite often, so I would concentrate on searching as many sites as possible. I would recommend checking out the website BookMe. You can compare ALL the reputable travel sites from one location, and save tons of money. Good luck and check out the link below.

The cheapest hostels I've been to in London very recently cost only 6€ per person per night... but that's in a shared room, of course. If that's what you're looking for, try Smart Hyde Park Inn, 48-50 Inverness terrace, close to Bayswater underground. To get that fare you must book it online at http://www.smartbackpackers.com/Default.aspx

Another one is Torquay Hostel, 1 Torquay Street 9, though it's worse than the other, both of them include a continental breakfast and have 24h reception...

student deals and just hostels i booked few times of here and they are fairly cheap to be honest and usually fit you in at last minute and also have no deposit reservations
