How to get Great Value from London Hotels

As a traveller it is almost impossible to physically view your chosen London Hotel accommodation before you actually arrive in London – unless, of course, you have already stayed there. While there are a plethora of websites all selling the same London Hotel Accommodation, there could be vast differences in pricing as well as what is included in the price. StayinUK offers some top tips to ensure you get the best value possible when booking your selected London Hotel.

Check what is included in the price


When you are offered a price for your London Hotel for your specified dates visitors should be aware of the following:

  • - Does the price quoted include all fees, charges and applicable taxes? You don’t want any nasty surprises when you check in!
  • - Does the price include use of all the amenities in the hotel? You might expect so but there are exceptions. Car parking in Central London Hotels is normally pretty rare and expensive (if available at all).
  • - Does the price include breakfast? StayinUK is relatively unique in that most of our room bookings include a full English Breakfast – a £10-£20 value per person per night!

Look out for special notes on the hotel details


Just before confirming a booking, it is always wise to check any special notes associated with the hotel. For example, if the hotel is being refurbished then you should expect to find out the impact on your visit (if any). This could be anything from no working lifts to building work in the lobby and anything in-between.


Read reviews from other visitors


In order to mitigate for the fact that the first time you will see your chosen London Hotel is when you check in, it is always wise to read reviews from other visitors who have stayed there before. Out StayinUK website contains such reviews for almost every London Hotel on offer.
