Question

have any hotel suggestions..I would perfer something centrally located...Please HELP...Trying as we speak to book a hotel....Thanks.

Answer 1

When I was travelling there in my later 20's, I stayed at the International Student House on Portland Street. I thought this was quite centrally located and there is a grocery & pub right across the corner. I don't recall there being any age limits or proof of student-ship required, and I stayed in 4-bed rooms but always ended up being the only one in the room in off peak seasons (like Feb). They have a website..ISH.

Answer 2

I disagree with Texasgal when she says nothing is centrally located. Many of the tourist areas are very close together though tourists often don't realize it. People hop on the tube and ride for 15 minutes making a couple of changes of trains and sometimes end up just a block or two from where they started off. (The tube maps that are passed out have no scale to them so stations that appear to be far apart are sometimes very close together.) If you stay in the area around Picadilly or Leicester Square you will be very well located for visiting the major sites and have good transportation links if you want to get out of the city. If you can't find an affordable place in those areas then just consider Zone 1 to be central, but you might ask the hotel how far you are from a tube station because if you are on the edge of zone 1 you'll be using it more often.

Answer 4

Hi there, well, I spent 2 days in London last summer and nothing is really centrally located. You need to find something that you really want to visit (Tower of London, etc.) and stay near there. I stayed in a really nice hotel in Kinsington near Hyde Park just a few blocks from Harrods. I was going on a cruise and this is where our travel agent booked us. (was going with my school so I had to go where they went) It was a nice hotel, but rooms were small. I can't remember the name of it as I hardly spent any time there but I do recommend that area, was a very nice area. I highly recommend taking a taxi at least once, kind of pricy but the cabbies are super nice and they are very knowledgable on the area. There are companies as well on the internet that you can rent for a few hours or a day and have packages for decent prices. Anyway I could go on and on about London, I really hope to go back someday. If you want any details about my trip, feel free to email me. =) Good luck in finding a hotel...remember their rooms are going to be smaller than what we are used to over here.

Answer 5

Hiltons are really nice. I know they have some in London, because I was thinking about going next year. It's better to get a hotel in the city, where all the action is going on. Have fun!!!
