malagus Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi guys, I am in need of a cheap (as cheap as possible) hostelry for one night in early Feb, ideally in close reach of Excel Centre, or able to get there via DLR easily. Does anyone have any suggestion of where to stay or have stayed somewhere in the past that they can recommend? many thanks, Lodz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shout :D I stayed in the premier Inn last time I was at ExCel but they want £70. and I'm paying this time so am more price sensitive!

Daz Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 You may want to try the Travelodge at City Airport - seems even cheaper than the Docklands one at weekends. It's also closer to Excel - i.e. walkable. Travelodge - Hotel overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malagus Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Nice and close. However, how the hell do I walk there (safely)? only way across I can see is connaught bridge, which a google maps would indicate not to have a pavement or the suchlike to walk on. :s anyone with local knowledge know?
