But the students will be back home so try the university accommodation

UniversityRooms: cheap accommodation in London

Cheers Eek, looks like I can get a university room practically next door to the office for £40 - 60 a night

Great idea. Never thought of that before. They have them in Edinburgh too.

Yep Canterbury I think. Looks a bit basic but as I am planning on just checking in before heading off to meet some friends in Leic Sq and will be back late so long as its clean and the bed is comfy I will be happy. The price is a steal though, cant go wrong really

I've been in Canterbury all week and just booked for next week

rooms are very very basic as is the bathroom but it seems quiet enough and there are gyms near by

Yep, agree, as I was out all night and got back late just needed somewhere to crash, perfect and the price is a steal (which included a very nice breakfast). Didn't try the internet as my 3G was working fine. Would use it again for def if I need to stay down for the odd night or two :-)

Just booked another 3 nights via University Rooms @ London Fitzrovia for next week, £111 all in (37 quid a night), really cant complain as its 2 mins from the office , I guess the students will be back soon so its £100+ quid for a rubbish travelodge next month

I am finding serviced apartments more competitive than hotels recently, especially if you can commit to minimum spend over a period.

My current gig doesn't allow for much forward planning for booking more than a week or two in advance but I have been able to get rooms booked for £42 in Leeds and £86 in Central London.

For me they are better over the long term as you can prepare your own food, eat healthier whilst spending less than you would in restaurants.

You can also get them to keep a bag of belongings there between visits which helps with trips.

£42 for this vs. £50 for a night in a Travelodge? No brainer.
