Hotels In London Are Expensive Places To Stay

London is by no means the cheapest place in the world to stay. Indeed, however wealthy you may be, you would doubtless class it as expensive. That goes for pretty much every capital city, because all visitors want to stay in the city centre. The amount of land is limited which means that so is the number of buildings, and that inevitably means that property is expensive, which has the knock-on effect of pushing the price of everything else up with it.

This is the reason why hotels in London are so expensive. Yes, they offer luxury and great service, but the price of rooms is eye-watering. So is the price of everything else they offer. Almost everything is an “extra” so if you want your laundry done – which you do if you are staying for any length of time – it will cost you a small fortune. As for the bar prices, just look at the Dorchester cocktails. They do offer a huge range of different cocktails, but the minimum price is £16.00, and many are £19.00 – going up to £35.00. As for the price of a bottle of champagne, £250 – £300 is nothing. A vintage Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 1998 is £3,950. Oh, and there is a minimum charge of £30 per person after 6.00 pm.

Short Stay Apartments In The Centre Of London

London is one of the most populous cities in the world, and it is also one of the most visited. Visitors last year just broke the 19 million barrier.

If you need London apartments short stay, Carlton Court is ideal.

Staying In London Is Not Cheap

Let’s face it, London is the capital of England and like most capital cities it is overcrowded and expensive. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you are going to pay more for it than you would out in “the sticks” as a lot of people refer to the countryside. Taxi fares are dear, restaurants are expensive, the price of a “pint” – a large beer – is a lot more than anywhere else. Even shopping for food – meat, fruit, and veg – costs more than it does a few miles away in the suburbs, while the hotel rates are frankly nothing short of astronomical. 

However, that is the way of the world. Hoteliers, shop owners, and restaurateurs know that you don’t have a choice, so they can pretty much charge what they like. 

Not Quite True

However, that is not quite true when it comes to somewhere to stay. Instead of staying in a hotel you could opt for one of the short stay apartments in Central London that are available and it will cost you a lot less. The services that are supplied by the owners of these apartments can vary quite considerably, but some of them offer the same luxury that you would get in a first class hotel in Park Lane, even to the extent of providing a daily maid service so that you don’t have to make your bed. 

Furthermore, while shopping for food and drinks is more expensive in the West End than further out in the suburbs, you will still pay considerably less for your food than eating in the hotel restaurant, and a round of drinks will be a lot less than the same round in a hotel bar.

So by opting for a short stay apartment rather than a hotel, you get all the comforts of home and you will make huge savings into the bargain.

A Private House To Rent In London Offers You The Privacy You Need

Mayfair in London is often called the “heart” of London, and with good reason. It is in the centre of the city geographically, and it absolutely rocks! You have everything here – restaurants, bars, nightclubs, Savile Row tailors for the men, world class auctioneers in Bond Street who regularly sell pieces worth millions that may have been discovered in someone’s attic and turn out to be by Rembrandt, Hyde Park just across the road where you can picnic, ride a horse, or just go for a morning walk – the list goes on and on. 

Londoners regard their home city as the finest in the world – all eight million of them. As far as they are concerned it beats Tokyo, New York, Paris, Rome, Los Angeles, Singapore, Honolulu, and more, out of sight. Everything in Mayfair is within walking distance. Yes, you can get a taxi, but the traffic is so difficult that you will get there quicker by walking! Who wants to sit in a queue of stalled traffic when you can walk?

As for the shopping……….!

Words fail us. You have Harrods, which is probably regarded as the finest department store in the world, Selfridges, John Lewis, Liberty, Fortnum & Mason, Fenwick of Bond Street, Harvey Nicholls (known to the locals as Harvey Nick’s), and Debenhams, and yes, they are all within walking distance too.

Then there are things like Regents Park Zoo, Madame Tussaud’s, The British Museum, Nelson’s Column, The Natural History Museum, Big Ben, The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tate Gallery, The London Eye – and if you are staying in Mayfair they are all on your doorstep.

If you like to visit foreign cities London should be at the top of your list. If you stay for a month you won’t be able to see everything.

Of course, finding somewhere to stay is crucial to your visit, whether you are here for a holiday or have been posted here on business. Naturally, many people will book a hotel. This might be all right for a couple of nights, but can get very tedious for a longer stay. Fortunately there are other choices such as Central London apartments to let, but if you have a big family or are in London with a few colleagues from work you may want to consider looking at Mayfair houses to rent. These are a considerably cheaper option than staying in one of the hotels and also give you much more privacy than you can get in a hotel.

They Are Worth Seeking Out

As you might imagine, houses in the heart of the capital city of the country may not be as easy to book into as a hotel since there are less of them. But nevertheless they can be found and they are worth seeking out. People or companies who own these properties are aware that visitors to the city want to spend their time in luxurious surroundings, so you will find that all these houses are furnished to a very high degree and have all the “mod cons” that we cannot do without in the 21st century. Chief among these are the latest TV’s, and most homes will have them installed with the latest Sky packages giving access to hundreds of channels in a choice of different languages for visitors whose first language is not English.

Another thing that we cannot do without these days is an internet connection, and almost all of these houses will have high speed broadband.

Many of the homes available to rent in Mayfair are fully serviced. This means that you don’t have to worry about changing the beds or doing any cleaning because a maid will look after that every day. Some houses in Mayfair also have a full time security guard and concierge available. Miracle of miracles, some even have underground car parking - in Central London!

So yes, if you are looking for somewhere to stay in the heart of the world’s busiest capital it is definitely worth checking out private houses to rent. You get to stay in a home that is all “your own” for the duration of your visit rather than in a big impersonal hotel, and yet you get all the same services for less.
