Originally posted by kal View PostYep 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
rooms are very very basic as is the bathroom but it seems quiet enough and there are gyms near byCoffee's for closersComment

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 monthComment

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.
