With its free Wi-Fi, on-site bar and glitzy furnishings, the Motel One in the City is one of the more luxurious budget hotels around. Single rooms start at just £98, which really isn’t much considering the location and facilities availble. And it isn’t just cheap rooms that Motel One has on offer. Guests can enjoy exclusive discounts at nearby restaurants – some of which amount to a whopping 50 percent off. Just a stone’s throw away from the Tower of London, Motel One is right in the centre of things, and has a real metropolitan feel. The hotel even pays homage to its royal neighbour with a collage that depicts the history of the coronation - so if you’re a fan of The Crown this might be the place for you. The 24-hour foyer is suitably swanky; there’s dark lighting and leather sofas you could quite comfortably sit on for hours. You can add a continental breakfast onto your stay for an extra £9.99 where a selection of pastries, different types of bread, cheese and meat is served. For a central budget stay, we think this is pretty excellent and is in easy reach of pretty much all the touristy stuff imaginable.
Time Out tip: For the full royal experience, why not walk down to Westminster Abbey and visit the Tower of London, too?
