Looking for accommodation for 2012 olympics

[richtvr]

I have ice cream vans on the 2012 olympics in Hyde park and need some where for my staff to stay from July 6 - 12 august

Any ideas Internet is bring no joy at sensible money

Looks like a 99 is going to cost a tenner this summer.

i would say cheapest option is stay outside london and commute in

[jpringle819]

It isn't going to be easy to find anything reasonably priced. My company has a lot of work to do across London in July and August and we would normally stay in hotels as we are based in Nottingham. When we started looking last year hotels that we can normally get for £100 a night were going or £280. Your best bet would be serviced apartments although these have gone up in price as well. We had a few being held for us but by the time the company had decided to formally book them the letting companies had doubled the price. I think we are going to end up with rail season tickets and commute each day.

We have two spare rooms which are quite big so, based on 6 sharing a room, I can give you 252 bed/nights for £100 per head or say £25K to you.

We might as well all get in on the act.

I can get my hands on 4 beds in 2 houses in close proximity. We're 100 miles from the Olympics, but I'll drive them in and pick them up each night for £23k

[sussexjob]

hire a motor home or two

[madbadger]

It's summer. They can stay in my campsite for £20k.

Camp sites out side London (20 miles) want £1500 for a static for a week!!! For 4 I have 20 staff to house, live nation was ment to organise a field for all the staff as there will be 1000s but they haven't!!!

Ice creams will be £3.50 for a large double with flake

I'd get them to commute in, there's a premier inn (or similar) in Tonbridge and that's only 35-40 mins from London Bridge.

Hi,

I just had a look on HostelWorld.com and there seems to be quite a bit of accommodation free on there with dorm beds from £20 per night

[richtvr]

Just had a look and seems a good option with there being one near Hyde park

Cheers
