thurrock/tilbury area hostels

I am moving to the thurrock/tilbury area in two weeks. I want to stay in a hostel/hotel at first. Are there any recommendations?

There is a hotel formule1 in Thurrock- http://www.hotelformule1.com/gb/hotel-3071-formule-1-london-thurrock-m25/index.shtml

At 30 to 32L per night, per room and the room will sleep 3, it is not a bad deal. If I remember correctly, it is a long way to the train to get into London. I do not know about the bus situation. I would call them and see about public transport availability. If you are by yourself, then you might be able to find a B&B for the same price or cheaper.

There is another hotel formule1 that is closer to London. It is the hotelformule1 in Barking and it is closer to the train station. It is about a 15 minute walk. http://www.hotelformule1.com/gb/hotel-2655-formule-1-london-barking/index.shtml

Again, if you are by yourself, a B&B might be a better deal.

I found a place. I am staying with a woman who works at the same agency that I will be working. Thanks for the help.

Glad you found someone local to stay with. It makes the change easier. There is someone to ask questions to and get answers.
