Good job TexScott. Have bookmarked for reference. Just one question. What definition of "budget" did you use (upper limit in pounds)?

Approximately £125 for a double/twin type room.

>>One name is missing in this list i.e. The Shaftesbury hotels London.<<

I did not include chain hotels, and I'm not sure that most of the Shaftsbury chain is all that highly rated.

Worth a bump as well as a request to report post #3 as advertising. The Shaftesbury Group have a reputation for overbooking and bumping people from one hotel to another in their group of distinctly average properties.

Aloha from Kaua'i!

Great to see that the Alhambra has made the list! I researched the heck out of finding a one night, inexpensive, central to transportation place to stay and that one really stuck out to me with good reviews here on TA as well.

Mahalo for the list - glad I made a good choice!

I want to add this option for budget accommodation.

http://www.lsetopfloor.co.uk/

These are mostly apartments (some are just en suite rooms) that are available year round through the London School of Economics. Not to be confused with the dormitory accommodations offered only during the summer.

I haven't been able to find reviews of these apartments (I have found some reviews of the dormitory accommodations), but given they are run by the School, the standard (considering the price) should be quite satisfactory.

A couple of important items from the FAQ section of LSE TopFoor accommodations:

(1). At Bankside House, Grosvenor House, High Holborn Hall and Northumberland House the accommodation is located on the top floors and has full step free access via lift.

At Carr-Saunders, the apartment is on the top floor and can be accessed by lift. However, there are seven steps to the main door and two steps into the apartment itself.

The apartments at The Anchorage, George IV and Passfield Hall are only accessible by stairs.

(2). If I'm staying in student halls during term time, won't it be noisy?

By and large our students are very well behaved. Silence hours are in operation in all of our halls to prevent disturbance and security personnel and and on call staff help to make sure these rules are followed.

Please note that the Anchorage & George IV apartments are located adjacent or above bars where late-night events are held. Guests should consider the possibility of some inconvenience from noise.
