I need to book a client a hotel - as cheap as possible - for a 2/3 week stay. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Prefered location? (daily commute versus access to city life?)

Preferred Star Rating? 5*, B & B, Hostel?

What exactly do you mean by 'cheap'?

I have a week long conference in Sheffield in June. Looking at serviced apartments as they seem much more pleasant than being stuck in hotel.

Kspace (http://www.kspace-apartments.co.uk/ks2/default.asp) serviced apartments quoted me £490 for the week for a one bed apartment which compares well with the hotel where the conference is being held (charging £145 per night). I was told that prices at Kspace come down the longer the stay.

Saco apartments (http://www.sacoapartments.co.uk/apartment-detail.aspx?apart=461) are cheaper I think.

Sheffield accomodation bureau (http://www.accommodationinsheffield.co.uk/index.php)

Forget the hotel (http://www.forgetthehotel.com/) also do the same sort of thing.

There seems to be a lot of this sort of thing about but I'm still wading through Google...........

Location is unimportant - anywhere in Sheffield is the brief, as is as cheap as possible. Have looked at serviced apartments but they are all too much. Was hoping to find just a bog standard hotel to sling him in! Tried Googling but really dont have time to look at it properly at the mo

Ring the ibis and see what discount they'll do you for that length of time :thumbsup:

Do you require mid-week only? I'm struggling for sheffield hotels. They're all pretty booked up. :confused:

Left yourself a bit late for the snooker?



Edit: easiest thing to do would be to e-mail everybody on this (http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/sheffiel.html) page and see who replies

If you're looking for accommodation btwn 28th June – 23rd August 2004, the University does both B&B and self-catering visitor accommodation. Between £16 and £24 per night.

Thanks everyone - we just have someone coming up last minute to help organise an event and theres not really much left in the budget for it at this stage!

Sorted - just advice for anyone in future. K-space aparments are the direct company that Saco contact in Sheffield so if you book through Sacc you will pay an agency fee.

And the price for Kspace I quoted above is not including VAT.

Travel Lodges are about the cheapest.

Or a B&B up Nether edge way.
