What are the Different Types of Discount Accommodation in London

Although millions of people throughout the world nurture the desire to be able to visit London at least once in their lives, mainly because the city has countless historical and modern attractions, not everyone can afford to stay in this expensive city. As such, apart from the upper echelons of society who book their accommodation in 5 star and 7 star hotels, most other people look for a discount accommodation in London. Most of such accommodations provide a comfortable stay at an affordable cost and they provide all modern amenities as well. They can easily be booked online before you start on your journey from your city of residence. There can be many different types of discount accommodation in London. Interestingly, a discount accommodation does not necessarily mean that it is a cheap and dilapidated building where you will have to stay with hardly any amenities. 

On the other hand if you are lucky, you can even get up to 70 percent discount on a 5 star hotel and that would mean that you are staying in a discount accommodation even while you would be enjoying 5 star luxurious stay. Sometimes, many 4 star and 5 star hotels offer special discounts in order to fill up their vacant rooms as they believe that getting some money is better than not getting any money at all. Discount accommodation could also be a bed in a hostel dormitory or low cost hotel rooms. The best way to book accommodation in these hotels is to go through a booking agency because when hotels are desperate to sell rooms, they may offer an agency up to 80 percent discount to sell their rooms. 

The online agency may then be in a position to pass the savings on to you for that hotel at that time. It is possible that on another day, some other hotel may be offering better deals. The other option for discount accommodation is to stay in cheap Bed & Breakfast accommodation that should be booked directly with the proprietor of the private house where you may get a room at a discounted rate. You can also find cheap accommodation in hostels which are slightly different for booking purpose. It would be better to book through an agency if you are looking for a bed for one or two people for a night or two. You can also book directly. It is always a good idea to keep browsing the Internet and visiting the websites of different hotels that are located in the area where you wish to stay when you go to London. 

Most of these hotels offer special deals and packages from time to time and if you are constantly on the lookout for such deals, you are bound to come across a good deal that will translate into a substantial discount on the room rent in a decent hotel that will provide comfortable accommodation with all modern amenities. Moreover, if you book online through the hotel's website, you are bound to get a good discount.
