SteveCrisis Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I've been lucky enough to get a ticket for both Somerset House events for Mogwai and Kasabian.Could anyone recommend me a reasonably priced hotel as close to the city centre as possible? Cheap flights already bought and paid for, just need a roof over my head for 3 nights.Somerset House is located in The Strand to give you an idea of the locale I'm looking for.CheersSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowball Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I can't recommend a specific hotel, but www.laterooms.com has done me well on a few occasions. Also, expedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogofish Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I stayed at the Strand Palace Hotel, on the Strand near Covent Carden & yards from Somerset House a couple of years back, it was @50 then on the discount sites & was quite OK.The Strand Palace Hotel - 3 star, Covent Garden, LondonA quick google seems to suggest 59 is the current rate.That Generator Hostel is up by the British Museum IIRC & is a bit up-market compared to what we are probably used to for YH's. It also did single rooms as well as dorms/shared.A bit further away but the Travelodge in Farringdon was @50 per night the other week whilst the Covent Garden one (Drury Lane & nearer Holburn TBH) was 90.
