Where to find the best value stay in London

London ranked the second most visited city in the world in 2023 with 18.8 million travellers visiting last year. With no indication of slowing down, it’s no surprise that during the peak summer months, affordable accommodation is hard to come by! 

Cheap accommodation is not always the most appealing when you’re seeking a fun summer getaway, especially when shared facilities, long commutes or windowless bedrooms are usually involved. Although they may often be at the top of the search results, you’ll be pleased to know that a private room in a stranger’s garage or a bunk bed in a shared room of 10, are not your only options when looking for an affordable stay in London.  

Student accommodation offers centrally located, modern bedrooms with a range of unique facilities to make your stay especially comfortable. London is home to more than 40 universities and this underrated and often unknown market of affordable bedrooms is a great advantage when you want to save your budget for more of the fun stuff. With access to a range of services including bed and breakfast, luggage storage and 24-hour reception, it’s difficult to find better value than our summer accommodation at Prince’s Gardens in Central London. Choose from a range of single, double and twin en suite bedrooms which include complimentary toiletries and tea-and-coffee-making facilities. 

We all know that that location is key when you’re on a city getaway. You’ll have limited time and probably no desire to spend hours commuting underground, and don’t underestimate how quickly transport costs can add up. Prince’s Gardens is within walking distance to the Science, Natural History and V&A museums, which are some of London’s top attractions and all offer free entry! You’re also within a short walk of great public transport options including South Kensington (tube) Underground station, local bus stops and bicycle hire stations.  

If you’re looking for the best-value in London, consider student accommodation for your next stay. To get the ball rolling, why not explore our range of bedrooms at Prince’s Gardens in Central London, open for bookings now from July – September 2024.
