I’m off to London in a couple of weeks (after restrictions on leisure stays are lifted) I’m staying in PI Leicester Square. I normally stay at the PI at Earl’s Court (I usually get outrageously cheap prices there, it’s a gorgeous building with excellent links and plenty around in terms of food etc) but I needed to be more central this time.
When I booked it was 500 pounds for three nights. I prepared to suck it up until I happened to check back a couple of weeks ago to see the price was now 200 for the same three nights. Needless to say I rebooked fairly swiftly! Since then the European Rugby Final at Twickenham has been announced which I thought might have nudged the prices slightly but when I just checked there wasn’t a huge difference. Some fans on the Facebook fan page for my team, who are in the final, have however reported that the prices the local TL’s are charging are absolutely eye watering.
I have stayed in some really quite nice Travelodges- I used to stay in one in York when I was doing a bit of work for VTEC and it was pretty much opposite their office. That was perfectly adequate and comfortable, as is the TL I stay in In Liverpool when I go there on occasion to visit friends. I used to work for PI though and given the choice I will stay with them every time.
