Oy, London people - need advice
if I wanted to stay in London for a week and didn't want to stay in a dorm with 14 people, or pester friends by sleeping on their sofa, where's cheap and not too terrible to stay?

other than a park bench, obvs

The Paddington Hilton.

It depends where you want to be based.
The Waldorf (also a Hilton) is better (at Aldwych). Not as good as the Savoy over the road - but a fair bit cheaper if you are on a budget.

I tend to use the Paddington whenever I go to That London for gigs because I'm a lazy fucker.
Straight off the train, out of the station and I'm there.
Also there's a decent pub just across the road for booze and food pre-gig.
:D

I stayed in the Waterloo travelodge.
As all I needed was a bed to sleep on and a pisspot, it was "ok".

Yeah. I was only staying one night so was alright with it.
If I was staying longer I think I'd have travelled in.

There's loads of places round Paddington and Earls Court that have signs outside saying rooms for £20 a night
I have no idea what horrors lurk inside these places.

it might be an adventure, though
what doesn't kill you makes an anecdote
