Hotel booking sites, who do you book with?

[Eggybreadwithnuts]

Looking for a decent London hotel for Nov. Prices on trivago, bookings.com. expedia and secret escapes are crazy!
£200 a night!

Anyone use anything else?

that seems a reasonable price tbh 🤷‍♀️

Have you checked Premier Inn or Travel
Lodge? Neither use third parties so you would need to check their own websites.

I look on IHG for Holiday Inn Group hotels. Mainly because i have points to use. Then Premier Inn, Travelodge and Novotel. Then booking.com

I would expect to find somewhere cheaper than £200 but not many places and definitely not if in Central London.

What do you mean by decent?

Expedia or booking.com. Have a look whether you can get cashback via quidco

Are you seriously thinking that £200 pn is expensive in London?

A premier Inn in Waterloo is £190 for one night so I think you'd be hard pushed to find something for under £200.

Limehouse Holiday Inn looks most affordable on the random November date I picked @ £116. But for pretty central Bloomsbury at £176 was the best on the night i picked.

I would always book direct with the hotel/chain. I usually stay at Hiltons, so I can collect points to use as part payment in future bookings.
I don't think £200 per night is at all bad for central London, tbh.

Ibis / Travelodge and Sunday nights (if you have any flexibility) but £200 isn't uncommon for London. Alternatively stay on outskirts (AirBnB?) and travel in on the train.

What dates are you looking at and what area, central London will cost that, I'd stay slightly out and get a bus or tube in unless you need to be central. I use hotels.com, book directly with the hotel or use last minute.com.

7-9 Nov 2 people
With breakfast
Like Tower Bridge area
Or more central Cov Garden etc
Dont want to pay more thsn £400

Lots of Premier Inns in the area you are looking for are under 200 a night.

Premier inn hubs are very good - book the larger room for 2 people

Trivago collects data from multiple sites so I check that first, I check premier inn separately.

look at the Exhibitionist hotel - smallish rooms but quirky style and excellent location.

Blackfriars Premier Inn, in one of their 'luxury' rooms is £402. Doesn't include breakfast, but in London I'd probably just grab a coffee and croissant from a coffee shop, or go somewhere nice for brunch instead. But if you want breakfast included then it's £405 for their standard room with unlimited cooked buffet.

Sorry - with link

It’s by the museums but right on tube

London just is expensive.

Just find something on the booking sites and then contact them direct. £200 is not a lot these days.

Z hotel Holborn 353 for 2 nt
Thistle tower bridge 382
Citizen m 369
Premier inn tower bridge 295
Premier inn Islington 350 for Premier plus room
There are quite a few on hotels.com, don't bother with breakfast unless it's PI, so many lovely and cheaper places to eat

Thistle is the one I want to stay at but the price with breakfast is 400.

The reason I want brekkie is....we're eating out in the evening for 2 nights so cant really afford to pay for breakfast, light lunch and dinner

I book directly with the hotel most of the time, unless by doing so I have to pay upfront and do not have the option of paying at the hotel.

All prices are the dame at the mo with bookings sites and direct with hotel

We recently paid just under £200 a night for the Covent Garden travel lodge.
