Londoners! Please advise / help reasonable hotel accomodation-B&B in Victoria, Oxford Circus & Padd?

A young friend of mine is visiting London in November - She is acquainted with London but as the friend she was going to be staying with for 5 days,will be out of town on her days of visit-This young friend is visiting museums, and asked me to find out( I have always boasted that with those on Yahoo Answerers are the BEST) in helping- So please can any of you recommend some names of decent hotels close by to Victoria, Oxford Circus %26amp; Paddington areas or within 3/5 stops of the tube stations? The price should be around sterling 25 or so per night- If Breakfast is included , that would be brilliant!- Or if there is a B%26amp; B , that too would be just great-

Please guys %26amp; gals need your help ASAP so she can book her stay

Thanks, thanks and more thanks in anticipationLondoners! Please advise / help reasonable hotel accomodation-B%26amp;B in Victoria, Oxford Circus %26amp; Padd?
Snowbird, I'm a Londoner born and bred and, as you can imagine, am frequently asked for recommendations of places to stay. I'm afraid no hotel in central London offers single-room accommodation for anywhere near 拢25. To give you an idea of how low that rate sounds to a Londoner's ear, the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) charges around 拢18 per night for its central London hostels: http://www.yha.org.uk/find-accommodation鈥?/a>



Outside the central area (public transport zones 1 and 2) you get better prices, but 拢25 is still on the low side for hotels. With that thought, I'd suggest having a look at London Homestead Services. http://www.lhslondon.co.uk/

LHS is a nice, family-run agency for b%26amp;bs around London, offering accommodation in the 拢18-40 bracket, which works for you. All are within easy reach of a tube station, so your young friend will be able to get to the museums easily. As you'll remember, the biggest clutch of major museums is in South Kensington: this is on the District and Piccadilly lines, so bear that in mind when selecting one of LHS's properties.



Best of luck, anyway and I hope your friend has a great time here.

I am English and was in London earlier this year. I think you will find it impossible to find a hotel for 25 pounds a night in London, you might try going online and looking for a youth hostel, that might work.



Breakfast is seldom included in England unless it is a Bed and Breakfast and those would be much more expensive especially in London. 25 pounds is only about $50 and there will be pretty much nothing in the area you have suggested.



I am certainly not trying to be negative just honest, I would hate to mislead you. London is one of the most expensive Capitals in the world.



Best wishes, and enjoy a wonderful city!
