How to get the best price on hotels near oxford street and the west end

1. As with most things on the web, our first piece of advice is to shop around for your hotel. Check the prices at all of the websites detailed below. It's not unusual for two of them to offer the same hotel at very different prices.
2. Unlike flights, as long as there is no conference or major event in London (and you can check that at whatsonwhen), you will often find the best deal by leaving booking late. Booking between two and seven days in advance usually yields the cheapest central london hotel rooms. But don't wait until the day as prices go back up.
3. When comparing prices, the most important thing is to make sure that you are comparing ‘like with like’. Not just the same hotel (and there are 34 Holiday Inn hotels serving london, for example), make sure the ‘package’ is the same. Price per person and per room, service charges and breakfast (included or not) are the usual variants.
4. Sometimes adding a weekend night will lower the rate for all of the other nights of your stay.
5. Compare prices, but compare locations too. It's usually worth paying a little extra to be nearer the centre of town, or your preferred attraction.
6. Don't just rely on 'star' ratings. Look at the facilities the hotel has and rank hotels based on the facilities' importance to you.
7. If you want a cheap hotel at the weekend, consider hotels in or near business districts. Business people only want hotels during the week. These hotels are usually of a 'superior' standard but, in order to attract weekend custom, they offer excellent weekend deals.
