Guest alex Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I stayed in a decent hotel that had a weekend deal on earlier this year. Unfortunately I can't remember the name but it was on Oxford Street near Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park/Park Lane. My advice though would be to do a weekend break in a European city. It'll probably be nicer and less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35624 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 A lad of your age should have a passport. I think you and your mates should all go on a weekend break to the passport office at Liverpool and sort yourselves out with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14142 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 If you really want a cheap and central alternative and you're not bothered about it being a particularly romantic break, there's always http://www.generatorhostels.com/london Haven't tried the London one but the Berlin one's really not bad at all, for what it is. Like I say, though, 4-bed rooms or dormitories probably aren't exactly what you're after. Hubba hubba, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 London doesn't really do cheap I'm afraid. 29101[/snapback] Not always so. The last weekend in London my mate and i had, we went into Wallace Arnold to book the coach, (we were going to look for a bed and breakfast online) But the girl said WA do accomodation deals aswell and found us a two night stay in a 3 star hotel plus travel for £60 each! It worked alittle cheaper i suppose because we didnt mind not having a bathroom ensuite, but the hotel was fine and very central. Other than that we have done quite a few London weekends with Majestic holidays, theyve always been really good, the last one we stayed in was a Novotel, they use these companys to fill odd vacancys, thats why its often cheaper. Majestic drop you directly at your hotel too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Get a family member to move there. I just spent the weekend in London, staying with my brother. Damn cheap. He wouldn't even let me pay for my food. Good boy that he is. That probably doesn't help you much, though, does it??...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Places like Holiday Inn Express and Travelodge can work out cheaper than other places, it just depends how much you want to spend. Try Octopus Travel and do a search of your dates and preferences. They'll give you a whole range of options from 5* places to B&B's www.octopustravel.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
