Need to stay in London with the kids but on a tight budget?

Posted on November 18, 2011 by amhurstadmin

London in living is pricey, but it’s possible to whisk your brood abroad and remain within a budget if you book at the Amhurst Hotel. The North London establishment offers wonderfully cheap and comfortable accommodation for just a fraction of the price of other London hotels.

Located in the leafy area of Stamford Hill in the London Borough of Hackney, the Amhurst Hotel is just a short walk away from Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington. Being on the doorstep to several train stations means the family can be in central London quickly and easily. The Amhurst Hotel is located in such a popular and lively area that the kids won’t be short of things to do, thus alleviating the stress for parents.

The size of the family rooms vary at Amhurst Hotel, and the facilities mean that Mum and Dad can sleep easy, knowing the kids will be comfortable in their own beds. The clean and spacious rooms offer up to three single beds and one double and can easily accommodate a family of up to five. Other perks that come with the room include free Wi-Fi and tea and coffee making facilities, so that much needed cup of tea is never far away.

The communal bathrooms are kept immaculately clean. Guests will always find the bathrooms sparkling, but for visitors who would prefer a bit more privacy there are en-suite bathrooms available with a number of rooms.

There are also self-contained rooms on offer for anyone who fancies cooking. Having access to a kitchen whilst on holiday can be a huge benefit to anyone who has young children. We all know that sometimes kids and restaurants just don’t mix, particularly if the restaurant does not offer what the children would prefer to eat, or if the kids are likely to get restless over the course of a long meal. The mini kitchen facilities have all the basic needs anyone should need to make a well balanced meal for the family. Self-catering also means that the savvy saver can keep an eye on the budget and not get any nasty surprises when it comes to settling their hotel or restaurant bill.

Furthermore, all guests staying at Amhurst Hotel are able to use the hotel’s gardens, which in the summer in particular offer a very pleasant place to eat and relax with the family.

Your Perfect Family Accommodation

Posted on July 11, 2011 by amhurstadmin

Travelling is usually fun, although the budget must be thoroughly considered. This is particularly relevant when you’re travelling with the family and on a limited budget. Thus, where money is a concern, budget accommodation is a great choice.

At its simplest, budget family accommodation in the UK offer rooms without en-suite bathroom facilities. Instead, travelling families can take advantage of communal showers and bathrooms made available by the hotel. However, some budget hotels like the Amhurst Hotel do offer a few rooms that do have an attached bathroom, if required.

Even though they are shared facilities, they are a far cry from the dingy, ominous facilities of the local swimming clubs. Occupants can be assured that the hotel facilities are kept spick and span through regular cleaning. Paying less doesn’t mean you have to wade through the aftermath of someone else’s shower. Furthermore, cheap rooms don’t mean that you will spend the night fearing bedbug attacks either, or that every man, woman, and child(ren) will have to cram together on a bed the size of a postage stamp.

Like their higher-end counterparts, budget hotels have their guests’ comfort in mind. This means travelling families won’t have to worry about the kind of room they will get. Frequently, the “family room” contains 3 single beds, or 2 single beds and one double bed, which comfortably accommodates a family of 3 to 4. When the size of the family makes staying in one room impossible, a self-catering family hotel in London can accommodate to the family’s size, as well as providing rooms that accommodate only 1-2 guests.

Families that prefer their privacy will not be disappointed by what budget accommodation has to offer either. For example, all rooms at the Amhurst Hotel feature televisions and tea and coffee making facilities. En-suite rooms come with attached bathroom facilities, while self-contained rooms feature mini kitchen facilities, making them more akin to small apartments. As with the basic rooms available at a budget family hotel in North London, en-suite and self-contained rooms can accommodate up to 3 guests per room at any time.

Opting for budget accommodation when travelling with the family and on a tight budget is by no means considered “a step down”. Budget hotels like Amhurst Hotel provide facilities that ensure a comfortable stay, as well as perks such as free Wi-Fi and parking spaces. An added benefit is that they are usually situated in central locations, and guests can enjoy easy access to local culture and places of interest. Even though you will be staying in one of London’s budget hotels, you will feel like you are staying in a high quality hotel!

The Benefits of Staying in Self-Catering Hotels

Posted on June 28, 2011 by amhurstadmin

The cost of hotel accommodation largely continues to remain unchanged in the face of increased travel worldwide. However, budget-savvy travellers, and those travelling on a limited budget are now turning to self-catering hotels like Amhurst Hotel as a viable and less expensive alternative. Though, you might be wondering how a self catering hotel in London differs from a catered hotel. Both provide accommodation, yet the former provides facilities for guests to prepare meals and, in some places, do their laundry.

On the other hand, a catered hotel will usually provide breakfast, lunch and dinner through a restaurant or the like, which means never having to suffer through a breakfast of dry toast and over-cooked baked beans, or a heated up can of soup!

Food is one of the major considerations when it comes to a self catering family hotel in London. Imagine you have 3 small children and they prefer having lunch at different times. Room service from a catered hotel can result in an eye-popping bill at the end of the stay. However, self-catering allows you to prepare food as and when you need it, keeping travel expenses low.

Additionally, such accommodation encourages travellers to sample local cuisine, as these hotels are usually found in central locations where eateries abound. Having to prepare your own meals also allows you to shop locally, which provides travellers with the opportunity to experience local culture that is more “real” than one may experience on a hotel-guided tour.

Aside from food, staying at a self-catering hotel can also mean paying less for local tours. While all arrangements are made on your behalf, at catered hotels you would usually pay more for such conveniences in the form of higher room rates. In contrast, a self catering hotel in London would provide information on tours or locations of interest, to which the guest can travel independently, without being hit with the extra costs. Furthermore, travelling independently, using the city’s public transport systems is often a better way of getting to know the city.

A burgeoning sign of the times, self-catered hotels like the Amhurst Hotel provide all the conveniences of catered hotels but without the attached price tag.
