Brixton Bed & Breakfast, hotels etc

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I've got a couple friends coming to visit in March for about a week and was wondering if anyone had any advice on where they could stay for a reasonable price. They were looking into renting a room in a flat or something if possible, close to me here in Brixton. Don't have room in my crap flateshare unfortunately.

I've looked on AirBNB (their search is being wonky right now though) and WhereToSleep but there's nothing around Brixton except for something on Electric Avenue and I believe they were already turned down for that as it was booked or something.

Anybody got ideas? Thanks!

Reasonable price means different things to different people. Giving a budget might be a bit more helpful

I think they can manage 85 to 90 a night

Did you look at Church Street Hotel as recommended by people on here?

What about Leigham Court Hotel?

I think this is more or less up to date:

crawl I discovered a while back that there's a place just around the corner from me which starts at £90 a night for two people. It's actually an entire flat which sleeps up to four people - good for a family or group of friends wanting to stay right near the middle of Brixton.

There's a B&B on Rushcroft Road. It opened when the Olympics were on http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/My-Place-Inn-Brixton/London/58017

Typical price seems to be £35 for a single room or £20 per person for a double. Shared bathrooms only.

I thought that building was all flats. I wonder what it's been converted from, to end up with 8 bedrooms.

Some of those flats are huge. I know a family who had been 'short-let' tenants for years for years before they were evicted so Lambeth could flog 'em off. I reckon maybe some rooms have been sub-divided.

 

[teuchter]

Were they council flats at one point then?

That looks excellent. Thanks.

I think the owners converted the house - they live upstairs and rent out the downstairs as a source of income.

Thanks very much for all of the recommendations. I'll try and update on where they went and how they liked it afterwards. I had no idea some of these places existed, like that My Place Inn!

A friend looked in to staying said they were nice to deal with, and you have the marquis just round the corner!

Bit down the road from Brixton but has anyone stayed at the Marbella Hotel in Peckham? It looks proper to me

[Rich_G76]

amazing!!! That pic sums up Queens rd Peckham, you know, all crystal blue skys swimming pools in front of every villa, love the review too
"I will never stay there and will never recommend to my enemy"

 

[Frumious B.]

That comment ought to be signed D.Dyer. And it should state which weapons the staff have at their disposal.

Was talking to an American lass in the pub the other week. A friend of hers from the US came to stay in Peckham and thought the idea of the Marbella Hotel hilarious so went there to book a room. Apparently the owner/manager was pissed and when he asked about a double en suite room the owner/manager just said 'oh fuck off' and walked off

It does have a warm and Mediterranean look I think

Well whatever weapons they do have, at least they don't have any quams.

Not exactly brixton but just checked this after spotting on the night bus the past couple of weeks, anyone tried it?

I've also had a request from an old friend who is coming over for a few days with her 2 teenage sons (well 1 is 16 and the other 10 so the second counts as a child still I guess), so she is ideally looking for a 3 to a room cheapish hotel deal fairly easy access to transport to central london for museum visits and whatnots.

The Comfort Inn in Vauxhall seems to do a very busy tourist trade. 5 mins from Z1 / tube / buses / delights of Vauxhall.

I've just posted up a feature on BrixtonBuzz listing all the hotels, B&B etc around Brixton I can find.

If there's anything missing please tell me!

Nearish to Brixton the Travelodge at Vauxhall Station is now open complete with Waitrose Local on the ground floor - http://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/576/London-Vauxhall-hotel

Also the Belgrave Hotel on Clapham Road near to Oval tube station http://www.belgravehotel.net

and in summer vacations Kings College and Camberwell College student accommodation is usually available, generally cheaper than hotels but obviously not so luxurious.

I could have sworn I saw an alcohol licence notice in the name of Premier Inns on the pavement outside KFC recently. Can't see anything on the council site about it though.

The app is mentioned in the Safer lambeth presentation - http://effrablog.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/safer-lambeth-presentation-2013-04-2.pdf
Premier Inn, 457-461 Brixton road (upper floors) SW9 8HH, (Coldharbour ward)

Fairly sure its the same site as the proposed Holiday Inn - http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/hefty-holiday-inn-coming-to-central-brixton.297101 : their 'brand advisers' or whatever they are called must have advised that Premier Inn is a better match for Brixton than Holiday Inn!

 

[se5]

Interestingly Brixton is also on Travelodge's list of targets - http://www.travelodgedevelopment.co.uk/thl_website/new_development/uk_target_locations/ - so we could be facing two chain hotels in Brixton soon

 

[editor]

Thanks for the updates everyone. The list is looking fairly comprehensive already, but keep the suggestions coming!

Thanks. I thought it might be the Holiday Inn site but Premier seems to be owned by Whitbread www.whitbread.co.uk/whitbread/ourbrands/premierinn.html And Holiday Inn have their own el cheapo brand, Holiday Inn Express.
