You cannot get a more central hotel in London than this—certainly not at these cheap prices.

Just off the north end of bustling Leicester Square (behind the IMAX theater), this modern 83-room hotel is a Premier Inn, the queen of inexpesnvie British chain hotels.

No, it's not fancy: Modern, functional furnishigns, somewhat thin walls, no charm to speak of.

But the WiFi is free, there are all the basics (TV, A/C, private bathrooms), plus modern sofa setees that convert into twin beds, even an onsite restaurant.

And when a hotel offers reliable comfort and quality, rates as low as £119, and a location that simply cannot be beat, who cares about charm?
