Accommodation & Travel Essential information to help you book a place to stay and navigate your way around the city ACCOMMODATION ESSENTIALS & TRAVEL IMAGE © LONDONONVIEW.COM/BRITAINONVIEW KEY: : Telephone Ë : London Underground Ë : London Overground Ë : Docklands Light Railway t : National Rail : Website To dial the United Kingdom remove the first 0 and add +44. Accommodation There is a vast range of accommodation in London. Stay in world-famous hotels, B&Bs (bed and breakfasts), guesthouses, self-catering apartments or good-quality hostels. You’ll find something to suit all kinds of tastes and budgets. Accommodation If you want a treat, then London has some of the best hotels in the world. Names like the Savoy ( fairmont. com/savoy), Claridges ( claridges.co.uk), the Dorchester ( thedorchester.com), and the Ritz ( theritzlondon. com) are internationally famous and offer complete luxury. For those on a budget, boutique hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses offer stylish and comfortable accommodation at very good prices. Most offer en-suite rooms, although smaller establishments might only have shared bathrooms. Many hotel groups and chains offer special deals. By far the cheapest places to stay in London are hostels such as Generator Hostels ( generator hostels.com) and YHA London ( yha.org. uk). These offer a secure environment and sociable atmosphere, often for less than £15 per night. If you’re looking for something more flexible, try self-catering accommodation. Having your own kitchen gives you more control over your meal times and schedule, plus self catering often works out cheaper than hotels or B&Bs. Accommodation Booking It is advisable to make your accommodation reservations before you arrive in the capital. London’s premier information website, visitlondon.com offers online booking for a range of hotels, B&Bs and hostels, plus great deals on hotel prices. You can also call the official London accommodation line on 08701 566 366 to book by credit card. Accommodation Ratings Star ratings are the official mark of quality, awarded to accommodation by VisitEngland and the AA. Standards of service, hospitality, food, cleanliness and comfort are checked annually by trained and impartial assessors. All participating establishments are awarded between one and five stars. The more stars, the higher the quality and range of services and facilities provided. Take care to check the star ratings for guest houses and guest accommodation, as they are not the same as hotels, and different criteria apply. For details, go to enjoyengland.com VisitEngland recognises the top scoring properties across the spectrum by awarding Silver and Gold awards.
