    Yeah, I like my little luxuries which means I can make the full use of my Sky subscription

    I am just across the road from St Pancras at the moment in a £65/night room with a cheap and cheerful flat-screen and free wifi.

      Free or cheap wifi used to be top of the list but the £15 a month I spend on broadband dongle usually negates that. I regularly use Laterooms for the reviews but will usually make my mind up if I can get Quidco cashback. A fitness room of some sort is a must if I'm doing a long stint. One feature I do like in Laterooms for when working in London is being able to put in a tube station and then finding digs in proximity.

        Thanks for all the replies guys - it seems that as I thought we meet the demands of contractors well (free wifi, good rooms, flexible with bookings and able to leave stuff over weekend, good simple food and TV's with HDMI connections) and so on

        For what I can gather there is no set place people look, but I've heard laterooms mentioned and I think we're going to look into listing here as an option to get the word out.

        Thanks again.

          Good luck.

          Btw, do you like films about Gladiators?

          Oh and where's your porn stash?

                Pillows!

                You didn't mention pillows

                We need firm pillows and mattresses, none of your girly panty waist duck down fluffy useless pillows that wrap around your head and don't support you.

                  So are you at PC World then?

                  To be fair £65 is expensive in Bury

                    I work away lots and use booking.com, laterooms and mondaytofriday.com if I'm in London.
                    I also always ask for a room on the top floor, right at the end of a corridor as I'm keen on quiet.
                    Breakfasts don't interest me, but free, efficient wifi is a must. I find some where I like and keep coming back. I've been at my current hotel 3 nights a week for around 18 months.
                    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                      thats usually down to the staff that, rather than the facilities , location or price

                      good staff make a difference
