Hotels & Hostels

[CaitlinC]

We are getting some results from our accommodations search and so I wanted to open this thread so that you may go ahead and start booking.

The hostels have been much less interested in offering discounted rates, but I will post their info because they are a great inexpensive option. I will continue to update as I get more results.

I would recommend that folks pick a hostel together if you wish to stay in the hostels. It is always more fun to be in groups at the workshop as people stay up late drawing and such. If you want to stay in a hostel post here and that way you can connect with others who will want to stay in hostels too!

[Thujon]

[Jaku]

Thank you CaitlinC for putting together the info!

[Luis Gama]

Hello, me and 2 other friends will try to stay at an hostel also, still haven't decided where exactly but somewhere in between the venue and the attractions.

Cheers

[Jesus Jara]

I'll be there also from may 28 to june 4.

Thank you CaitlinC for the info.

[Logo]

I will be joining the hostel gang! I will be in London for the entire duration of the 4-day event!

[Quike Garcia]

Count me in for the hostel gang! 30th till 4th

Thanks Caitlin!!

[Thujon]

Ill be in London from the 30th till the 4th.... mmm did anyone see the movie Hostel???? Are those save to go to??? :-D Just joking....!!!

[MIKETAYLOR]

I'll be there also from may 28 to june 4. Count me in!

[najtkriss]

I'll be in London 30th-4th, so, um, Thujon and Quike, wanna share dorm or something?

[Quike Garcia]

I'm up for sharing a dorm. Last time I did was really fun

[Thujon]

I'll be in London 30th-4th, so, um, Thujon and Quike, wanna share dorm or something?

Yea sure, count me in!!! This will be great! :-D

So how do we organize this?? Hehe the one Hostel from the Lock Stock movie looks quite nice.... what do you think?

[Quike Garcia]

Yea sure, count me in!!! This will be great! :-D

So how do we organize this?? Hehe the one Hostel from the Lock Stock movie looks quite nice.... what do you think?

Was thinking exactly the same

[Thujon]

So I checked the Journeys London Bridge

They still have spare rooms for us....What say you Najtkriss and Quike? Its gonna be around 96 £, BUT the dorms are quite booked, they only have 9 - 15 bed dorms...
The more cosy we want it to be the more it will cost.... I also checked an other hostel, 4 nights a room for 3 people is around 500£.... 170£ each....

Now we have to decide what do we want?

[najtkriss]

I'd try to get more fellows with same date as ours, here or either on event fb page

[Thujon]

Thats sounds like a plan!!!! :-D

So anyone who's coming to London, are you willing to share a hostel dorm with 3 "art hungry" buddies?

[najtkriss]

And posted on fb. Now we wait

Or idk, how those dorms actually work? Maybe we can all share no matter who's staying longer and who's shorter, and I'm being a douche here addressing only Quike and Thujon?

[CaitlinC]

Dorms generally sell by the bed. Usually the smaller the room (and number of people the room is shared with) the more expensive your stay. What I have found is that generally (please check with the hostel you are considering) a group of a certain amount (smallest seems to be around 10) can book together and share a room together and get a bit of a discount for being a group and putting money down now (usually about 50%). It requires a bit of organization, and organizing a big group can be a challenge, but it can be done! From what I've seen savings are a few quid a night.

I have more info about hostels and apartments to add, along with some hostels that never replied to me...I'll just put up their rates so you can make an informed choice over where you want to stay. Hopefully soon I'll have some hotel info too.

Please let me know if there is other info you need.

[Jason Scanlon]

Can I come?

[Quike Garcia]

Can I come?

You are always welcome Jason
