about to book your hotel in London well
here are some important things that you
should know before you do it by the way
if you're new here I'm Jess and I make
videos for people who are coming to
visit London and this video is part of
my book your London hotel series there's
no best area to stay in there are lots
of great areas to stay in in London each
of them offers something different for a
different type of traveler so if you
need recommendations of where to start
your search I have a couple of videos
that I will point you to at the end of
this video that will help you out
hotels are relatively expensive you've
chosen to visit one of the most
expensive cities in the world and so the
hotel prices do reflect that so you'll
just need to manage your expectations
and expect to get a lot less for your
money here than in most other parts of
the world central London is the most
expensive so all of the hotels that are
in the most central part of London which
is near like the major sites and
attractions relatively speaking those
ones are gonna get you the least for
your money
so if you're on a budget then I would
start to expand your search outside of
that very Center we have all of the
major hotel chains here in London but we
also have some really great boutique
hotel chains like the firm Dale hotels
and Citizen M so don't be afraid to
branch out from the names that you
usually know and usually stay with
always booked a hotel that is just a few
minutes walk from a tube station some
hotels will advertise that there a short
bus ride away from the tube but actually
a bus ride can add a ton of time onto
your travel time if there's traffic or
if it just doesn't come very often so
your best bet is to always make sure
you're staying within about a five
minute walk of a tube station I'll cut
down on your travel time significantly
if you're planning to party on a Friday
or Saturday night when you're in London
then you can save yourself some money by
staying near one of the stations that's
part of the night tube which runs all
night on Friday and Saturday nights that
way you want to pay for taxis to get
back to your hotel I'll leave a link in
the description of the video that will
tell you which stations and which lines
are part of the night tube the best area
and the best hotel to staying in London
totally depends on you just figure out
what you want to get out of your trip do
you want to be right by all the major
sights and attractions or do you want a
little bit more of a local experience
that will help you to figure out which
area is gonna be best for you and also
which hotel if you need some
recommendations for areas to start your
search in I have two videos as part of
this book your London hotel series which
you can watch by clicking the card
that's popping up right below me of
these I got distracted to the right
the taxis
