How bad is this hotel? Do any of you brits know? I need some advice. I would greatly appreciate it.

I don't know it Miguel, but Picadilly Circus is a good place to be - it's very central

Sounds like a good place... just going byt the name and location. very central, so must be pretty good

It's really really really cheap. And it only got around 2 1/2 stars out of 5. All I want is a bed and no bugs.

Hmm wierd. Well im sure Ive stayed in worse, dont worry! I dont really think somewhere right in the tourist centre of London could be that bad. Have you seen pictures? tried Googling?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

jokes

serious about looking at it for you though... I'll sms you tomorrow night mmkay?

I hate to say this but some of the cheaper places in London are not so good. I haven't heard of the hotel but it's got location going for it, so if you can deal with the potential of not having luxuries and maybe having to purchase a sleeping bag (hopefully not) when you're here, then I would say it's a pretty good choice. It's only a place to lay your head, right?

miguel, i stayed at picadilly backpackers hostel that is right around the corner from Burger King. cheap and clean.

I can check it out for you if you want, Miguel. How far is it to Picadilly? Some will say very close and end up being fucking forever away.

Screw the Regent Palace, I know good hotel in south Lewisham, £20 a night, you get a slice of toast and an egg for breakfast and the cum stained sheets are complementary gestures from the hooker that cost less than the room

My company actually deals with this particular hotel. Its on the same street as where the Glassblowers pub is where there is regular Prince meet ups. I think its a 2 star hotel so it's fairly basic. Apparently it can get quite noisy as its in a busy area. Having said that, its good value for money based on the prices.

P.S. I will more than likely be booking a room there for the London get together next month.

I've stayed there four nights, although that was nearly 5 years ago.
it was very basic, but good enough. It certainly wasn't the worst
hotel i've ever stayed in.

It was dirt cheap back then as well. I've recently checked out the
website and they have gone up in price somewhat.

But as far as location goes, it doesn't get much better than this.
it's bam smack in the middle of town.

You step out of the hotel lobby and you're standing next to that
famous advertisement wall

OK, I've booked it. £116.00 for a twin/double room for 2 nights. Very good for London!

It looks pretty good to me : http://www.theregentpalac...tion_.html

And if that wasn't enough they have an Oirish bar too :

"O Callaghan's Irish bar is also a very popular feature of the Regent Palace Hotel and provides a warm and friendly atmosphere with a generous offering of genuine Celtic hospitality." ( http://www.theregentpalacehotel.co.uk )

I've stayed in a few 2 star hotels (not this one though) and they were all very good, clean, pleasant places. I've found the star rating to pretty accurate (especially in Ireland and the UK) so I think you're pretty much guaranteed that it's a decent enough place.

Sounds like you got a good deal too.
