Cheap London Hotels - Central London
General information about Cheap London hotels .
Each of the hotels listed in our pages is visited to ensure that they actually deliver what they advertise, but we would advise anyone, to ask to see the room before parting with their hard earned money, particularly when booking into cheap London hotels or a Bed and Breakfast. Another thing is expectation. If you are booking into the Ritz, you can expect all the trimmings. This is just not possible with the lower end of the market. Americans in particular find both our hotel rooms and our beds smaller than they have at home.
London is the second most expensive capital in the whole world for hotels, only Tokyo is dearer. Bear that in mind when looking for cheap London hotels. However if you are just looking at your hotel as a base from which to enjoy London, a cheaper form of accommodation is very likely to be the right answer.
Weather
If this is your first visit to London, then whether you come in Summer or Winter, be sure to bring along at least one jacket or coat that is water-proof. In London we actually get our largest rainfall in July from thunder-storms. In Summer these storms tend to come and go in a matter of a few minutes, where as in Winter our rain tends to be much lighter but more continuous.
Money
All hotels take Visa and Master card and American Express, they will also take travelers cheques, so try not to arrive with large sums of cash. As with any major city there is theft and pickpockets, so try not to walk round with more than you need. It is also a good idea to send yourself an e-mail before you leave with the phone numbers for reporting stolen cards, travelers cheques etc.
Crime
In general terms, you are no more at risk in a cheap London hotel than in expensive accommodation, but there are precautions you should take when traveling round London. The most common form of transport is the Underground, which is fast, but don't attempt to travel on the Underground late at night when you are alone and that goes for men as well as women.
Common sense is the easiest way to stay out of trouble. We would also warn you against being in the vicinity of main Railway stations late at night as these seem to be prime territory for pimps, muggers and pick-pockets.
General help.
If you should have any special needs, whether it be that you or one of your party is handicapped or perhaps you need to arrive or leave in the small hours, we are here to help you. Simply send a quick e-mail to support@uk-hotels-register.com and we will do our very best to provide assistance.
