Budget hotels in London City Centre can be very confusing to judge. The number of stars a hotel has only reflects the facilities offered by a hotel, not how clean, well maintained or how large the bedrooms.


If the lowest price is going to be your overriding factor for selecting accommodation then you're probably best to start looking at cheap Bed and Breakfast hotels.


If you want a hotel and don't want to pay out money needlessly then sort out what facilities you want from a hotel besides the basic ensuite bedroom. If you are not going to use a fitness centre or room service then don't purchase nights at a hotel where you are paying for these services.


No frills budget chains like Premier Inn, Ibis, Comfort Inn and Travelodge set a benchmark for the budget traveler to compare mid range hotels in London.

On this page we look at independent hotels that directly compete against the above chains.


Location and the day of week you stay will also have a big impact on the hotel rate you pay.

Sunday night is the cheapest night to stay at many hotels in London.

If the hotel is in a business district then the cheapest rates will be at the weekend, for hotel districts dominated by leisure travelers the weekends are normally the most expensive time to stay. The south side of the river and Tower Bridge areas are examples of districts where hotel rates are deep discounted at the weekend when the businessmen are at home. Bayswater an example of a leisure district where room rates are far lower during the working week than at the weekend..


If you have children then again the chains like Premier Inn and Novotel have deals with kids in mind, often with free breakfasts and family rooms no more expensive than a standard double/twin room.
