Hi All,
Am flying to London in November and am planning on staying in Paddington - primarily for ease of access to Paddington Station and the Heathrow Express.
However, I have found the rates for the Hilton at Paddinton to be very expensive for November ($450+ for a standard room) - about double what I paid for the same hotel in February this year! I have no idea why or maybe they just haven't released any cheap rooms yet....
Subsequently I'm looking at cheaper options around Praed St and neighborhood - I know there is the Mercure next door, the Hilton Metropole, a Novotel somewhere and a Hotel Indigo - not to mention a few short stay apartments found on airbnb.com
Is anyone familiar with the area to point me in the right direction of good accomodation options or should I not limit myself to Paddington and head to Covent Garden/Piccadilly etc
Thanks for your help!
