    Though it isn't far from Bank, Monument and Liverpool Street tubes and a short walk from the tower of London if you fancy some sightseeing.

    Agree the city is pretty dead at the weekends.

    Actually I'd prefer to stay in the city at the weekend. it's nice and quiet and only a short hop to the busy places.

    Is anybody a member on here? How much do they charge and what sort of discount to the offer. They look pretty good value.

    Set in the historic district in the "City" of London, at 7 Gracechurch Street, adjacent to the popular Leadenhall Market shopping area. Nestled among charming pedestrian streets linking London's ancient churches, parks and public houses, it is just a short walk to the Tower of London, Bank of England, and the London Bridge. Featuring the Gaucho Grill, an Argentinean steakhouse and winner of the Silver Award for Best Business Lunch Restaurant, housed in what were once the gold holding vaults of the Bank of England.
    Well there is no gold left, glad they they found some use for it

    The pub that is joined onto the Hotel is a Chavy type Wetherspoons, last time I stayed England were playing and the cops turned so I'd stay away but I can't fault the hotel itself

    I would not want to share a room with Wilmslow for any money, even considering that he is imaginary sockie...

    Surely it depends how close you want to be to the city centre. We stayed in the holiday Inn near Kingscross in a triple room when I first started down here. That wasn't hugely expensive, but I think I had to use their website rather than a hotels.com type thing. Also, when we went to the Rugby a few months ago we stayed at the Novotel out near Heathrow. That was only about 60 a night including breakfast for a double room which included a sofa bed.

    Also, all the hotel comparison sites offer about 10% cashback via quidco and the like.

    Travelodge triple rooms are sold out, only doubles, so we are after an alternative place to stay.

    Even Late Rooms is throwing up silly high prices, we are just after a central crash pad as we will be out and about all the time.

    Other than Premier Inn at £115 per night, any other ideas?
