I know it's been done to death but - London hotel

[Gobbledigook]

I know there are threads on this but I can't find the one I was looking for and I'm not sure where everything is in relation to where I need to be!

Going to London Apollo Victoria and need a hotel for Sat night.

WWW recommended THe Great Eastern on another thread - anyone know if this is in good location for theatre?

Also on another thread, PPH recommended one - something plaza - but can't find thread - anyone know which it might be?

How much do you want to spend?

Sherlock Holmes hotel on Baker Street is lovely

If you want cheap, you can have a private double room at the Picadilly Backpackers for less than £65, sans petit dejeuner. Looks a lot nicer than most hotels under £100 in zone 1.
If you're taking the kids, the Royal National in Bloomsbury does quad rooms quite reasonably.

Just me and dh.
Budget would be £200 but under that would be fabbo! Tbh, we are going to theatre in eve and just staying over that night so we won't get huge amounts of use out of it. So, am thinking perhaps not going for ultra-flash (not that you would on £200).

go onto lastminute.com
get prices of the secret deals (where they anonymise the hotel so you don't know exactly which one it is only where it is - but consequently the prices are tiny)
choose only 5 star
when they show you one you like the look of, open another window and do a google search on a phrase in the description of the hotel
this will bring you to the "un-anonymised" review on lastminute.com so you can see what you are booking
book it up

I stayed in the Athenaeum on Piccadilly for £100 last week! Jolly nice it was too.

Hello! PPh recommended a hotel in Victoria, hang on will find it in a min. GE is in the City so not v near where you want to be. You could look on Laterooms too, great cheap deals there.

old thread where pph recommends

PPH suggestion was Victoria Park Plaza. Very close to theatre. Not sure if it's less than £200 per night though.

Laterooms and put in the postcode. I've stayed at The Kingsway Hall, ok but not fab, wouldn't bother again but right in middle of Covent Garden. OR, you could go for a travelodge, the one on Drury Lane is fab location.

You'll get a travelodge cheaply if you book in advance. Clean, basic, good if you're not going to be spending much time there.

I've never been in the rooms, but this one is in the Victoria area and has a good reputation. Not as swish, but maybe more affordable.

< Hello Earlybird!!! Not seen you on here for a while! Hope you and DD are well.>

Oh thanks everyone - will have a look at those.

Thanks WWW - yes, realised last night that Great Eastern wasn't in a great location for the theatre. Shame really as there is a good deal - a £411 room for £117 for the date I wanted!

whatever you do do not stay in the strand palace
