London Hotels

We always stay at the Gloucester Place Hotel, at 55 Gloucester Place. We get a nice big double - with fridge, microwave, sink, and kettle - for around $100/$125 a night. They have family rooms. Location is great - it's on the Bakerloo Line get off at Baker Street Station) a few blocks from the Marylebone Road. It's a couple of miles west (and slightly north) of the British Museum, and we find it ideally located to get to all the sights really quickly. Tube is 4 or 5 blocks away, and there are two bus stops directly outside the front door. There are two Tescos within quick walking distance (great for picking up juice, things to nuke, fresh fruit, pre-made salads, etc.), a local chippie, a Pizza Pizza (surprisingly good pizza for a budget-priced chain!), pubs (we like the Globe, on the Marylebone Road) and it is also close to Regents Park.

Deb, , what is inexpensive to you ,, thats impossible to answer unless we know your budget range. I loved the place I have stayed at but its about 100 GBPs for a double, would be more for a triple, so not sure if that meets your criteria. I know that just down the street from my hotel was a Premier Inn ( Kensington) and they are economical .

I am hoping to keep it less than $200 pernight USD.
