London weekend hotels

[Four Cofffee]

I fancy a 3 night weekend in central(ish) London to do the South Kensington museums but all the hotels seem dodgy or pricey. I recall that there was a web site where you could buy hotel rooms at a price but didn't actually get the hotel name until after you had booked.

Anybody know the site?

I think Laterooms.com do something like that.
They call it "Secret Rooms" or similar.

Try renting an apartment for the weekend. That's what we did recently for about £110 a night. You might get lucky on a deal depending on your timeframe.

not local to kensington I know but give the hoxton hotel a try (old st tube).funky hotel..look at their website..room pricing is cheaper the more time away your booking is,however if they lower prices after you book..yours also go down.good food in hotel and loads of places to eat in the area..steve w

I stayed in the Rembrandt last weekend which is directly opposite the museums and about 100m from South Kensington station. It was clean, good size room, great breakfast and pretty cheap.
