kevlynne Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looking to try Priceline for July 2011 as all that is currently in my budget are family rooms in B&Bs that are still running around $200. How do I make sure that I get a room with twin beds. My two teenagers would not be happy sharing. Have already clicked your PL and HOTWIRE links several times today on my search.Thanks.

Romelle Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 These are sort of extreme options, as compared to B&Bs, but could work for your teenagers:1 www.easyhotel.com2 www.hihostels.com and then click International - there are seven Hostelling International ones in London. Teenagers like the opportunity to meet others of their age group3 During the summer months a lot of the London colleges rent their dorm rooms out to the publicRomelle Link to comment

kevlynne Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 We want to get two rooms. Would like to get a two bedded room for the kids and double/queen for ourselves. Would like to end up under $125 each which would probably be in the burbs. If we could end up with 3* close in even better.Thanks. Link to comment

Would like to end up under $125 each which would probably be in the burbs. If we could end up with 3* close in even better.Thanks.The Regants Park area comes up with the Marriotts and Hilton with 2 beds per room. Your best bet might be to use hotwire as you can put in how many per room. If you put in 3 for one of the rooms you would get 2 beds and I know the Marriott Regants Park comes up on hotwire for a lot of dates. They also allow rollaways in that property. I have stayed there myself. I got it on priceline several years ago and had 2 rooms with 2 queen beds. It was very nice. A little farther out but you just grab the tube and your in the city in no time. If you bid priceline Regants park I think your chances of getting a room with 2 beds are good, and you will probably get the room cheaper than hotwire, but it you really have to have 2 beds I would go the hotwire route and enter 3 as the number in the room. For my dates the Marriott comes up and there is no price difference for 2 or 3 in room. Link to comment

Rhine-and-Roses Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 FYI I've stayed in London hotels using Hotwire and Priceline a good many times. I have ALWAYS been granted my bed choice, although it is not guaranteed. Call them either as soon as you get the reservation, or a few days in advance of your stay and give them your request. They usually tell you they will do their best, but not promise. Link to comment

cwuer Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I stayed here several years ago and it was great. Big rooms with 2 queen beds. Nice clean property. Once you get on the tube it's not long to city center. For what you are needing this is perfect and hard to find closer in esp. using priceline and getting such a great deal. Have a great trip.
