My daughter (16) is spending a school year in England. She is living in Hove now. For a half term holiday (last week of October) she wants to go to London with some of her new friends. They all are exchange students.
As we made bad experience with a "fresh renewed 3 stars hotel" last year, I would like to get some tips for her.
Any ideas are gladly welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance
Jerzy

Use a Youth Hostel Sep 24, 2003

Jerzy

The only reasonably priced, good quality accommodation I know of in London is at youth hostels. As she's with friends they can probably find a two or three bedded room so don't imagine that youth hostels these days are all grim dormitories!

I know a couple of people (much older than your daughter) who have stayed at Youth Hostels in London - and enjoyed it - because it was the only way they could afford to stay in central London. If she's only going for a week or... See more

I know a couple of people (much older than your daughter) who have stayed at Youth Hostels in London - and enjoyed it - because it was the only way they could afford to stay in central London. If she's only going for a week or so there's absolutely no point in staying outside the centre.

YHA have hostels in St Pancras and Oxford Street:

Not all hostels in UK have YHA affiliation - it doesn't mean they're bad but get a good report on one (via the internet or travel guide etc) before choosing it.

Hope she has fun! ▲ Collapse

Travel Inn or Travel Lodge Sep 24, 2003

These are chains of hotels with good prices for London, without many 'bells and whistles' but confortable and clean. I usually go there because of their prices and the family rooms. They can be booked from Internet.
