Europe Trip Planning – Where We’re Staying in London, UK

The booksing for London are nearly done, of the four nights we’ll be in the city we have 3 taken care of.  We’ll check-in to the Hilton London Islington Hotel on May 8th and check-out on May 11th.  We made the booking through Priceline for 83USD/night + tax.  A great deal considering the Hilton averages $304.09 per night for a double room and the total we’re paying including tax is $305.31! The hotel is located near the city’s financial district, not too far from the major attractions and very close to the Tube.  Click here for a google map.

Here is a picture of what there rooms might look like:

The hotel offers a terrace with a great city view.  We’ll definitely be grabbing a drink there one night! The dress code is smart casual, which won’t be a problem.

For the final night in London, we’re hoping to find a cheap place closer to Stanstead, Essex.  We’re catching a Ryanair flight out of the city to Venice.  Departure time is 11:25AM and that means we’ll need to be at the airport by 9AM or so.  The Hilton and Holiday Inn by Stanstead can be had for about 110-140 but we’re obviously looking for to do better.
