Not that cheap

When I saw the title of this book I thought it was meant for me but I guess I just have different definition of "cheap". There are a few "cheap" places listed in her book ...but not many, and not enough to make the purchase of this book worthwhile. I would recommed getting Rick Steves London or Let's Go. Both list more sub $80 dollar hotels than this book and are chock full of other useful information.

Excellent Book - Don't book in London without it

This will be our first trip to London in August. Orginally we'd booked accomodations at a Best Western but the thought of flying all the way to London and staying in a Best Western just didn't do anything for me. So we bought this book. Through it we found and rented a two bedroom apartment in Chelsea overlooking the Thames. The price was about the same as a upper middle hotel room. Without this book I never would have considered this or even known how to go about it.

As the author states this book is not about finding the cheapest but the best value for the money. It also contains many helpful hints on what to bring, what to pack, and just general information about London. I'd recommend it to anyone, especially first timers.
