    Stayed here recently The President Hotel | Great Value in Central London from £86 | Imperial Hotels, central London location and for £86 quid a night you get a full English thrown in (plus stay 2 nights and you get a free 3 course meal in the evening), would recommend.

    Hotel WiFi Speed Test

    Although I still swear by my 4G MiFi device on a Three contract, not failed me once yet and 15gb for £15 a month

    Personally I have found Sky Go to be decent on a strong 3G signal though best if you can connect to a decent WiFi connection.

    Get a better rate then if £42 a night is too much

    B2ADVANT gives you £5 off

    its £5 off the total booking though so do multiple nights separately...

    Paid £23 for tonight in central Leeds. will probably head to the cinema...

    First rule of hotel pricing: if the customer's at the front desk, charge them the full rate. They'll almost never go away again once they're in the building.

    Even if you're standing outside the front door, phone them up.

    Midnight for the next night I assume you mean? (Rather than having to book/checkin after midnight for that night).
