Typically, a hotel stay in this area can cost hundreds of pounds per night.
For instance, a night at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in January could cost around £390, while another hotel might charge approximately £940.

For those working during their stay in the city, there is even a co-working space with a view.

“This setup offers a novel approach as each guest enjoys the privacy and security of being nestled in their capsule, which can be locked from the inside.
“At first glance, the dorm rooms, which are minimalist and dimly lit, resembled a car park or storage unit.
“It’s not what you’d typically expect from a hotel room, so it takes a little getting used to.”

“However, upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised to find a charming little space, complete with mood lighting and inviting interiors.
“Surprisingly, it didn’t feel as cramped as I had anticipated – as a 5’5” woman, I could sit up and stretch my legs comfortably.
