London Hotels Special Offers

When it comes to London hotels special offers are usually few and far between. It is very rare for hotels in central London to discount its room prices. But there are exceptions.
The problem is that demand outstrips supply – meaning that enough people (mainly tourists and business travellers) are prepared to pay the hotels' asking prices for rooms. And demand is pretty constant. Despite living in cash-strapped times, enough people want to visit London in order to keep the hotels busy.
And busy hotels mean high room prices.

So what can we do about it?
The answer is to "Look Outside The Centre of London"
It's very hard to get a cheap hotel in Knightsbridge, Oxford Circus or Camden Town, but if you look at the Docklands area, for example, there are often bargains to be had. Just look at this four-star hotel, just twenty minutes by DLR (Docklands Light Railway) from  Bank station, next to the Bank of England:

Britannia International Hotel
163 Marsh Wall, London, E14 9SJ
The Britannia International Hotel can be found next to Canary Wharf, the home of many of the world's top multi-national companies. This modern glass building has fantastic panoramic views overlooking the London skyline and is within easy walking distance of South Quay Station, which will whisk you by DLR to all of London's major sightseeing spots. There are 442 en-suite bedrooms, with modern facilities that include the famous "three Ts": TV, Telephone, and Trouser Press. Whereas comparable hotels in the W1 area will be asking well over £200 a room, the Britannia International often has bargains for as low as £80-£90.

Another area to look at – especially in winter – is Greenwich, a maritime tourist area with several splendid hotels. Take this one…

The Clarendon Hotel
Montpelier Row, Blackheath Village, London SE3  ORW
Situated overlooking the open green parkland of Blackheath, this elegant three-star Georgian hotel has en suite rooms starting at £79 (single) and £99 (double). All rooms feature terrestrial and satellite TV, coffee and tea making facilities, hairdryers and radios etc The Meridian Restaurant is renowned locally for its fine dining, and the Sunday Carvery is spectacular. Personally recommended.

Another area to look at for special offer hotels is west London. The area between the West End (central London) and Heathrow Airport is strewn with hotels offering cheap room prices. The Paddington and Bayswater areas are very central but far cheaper than their neighbouring boroughs. Here are just two examples:


Bayswater Inn Hotel 
8-16 Princes Square, London W2 4NT
The three-star Bayswater Inn can be found in a quiet residential square. Its 139 rooms offer en suite facilities as well as colour TV, direct dial telephone, radio, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities and are  all fully centrally heated.
