Last week I wrote about an offer from ‘Village Hotels’ offering rooms from £29-£39. It’s a solid deal, but most of the hotels aren’t very conveniently located. If you’re looking for something in central London, thanks to an opening offer available until 8th October, you can stay at the brand new Yotel in Clerkenwell for just £30 per night on weekdays.

The £30 rate is room only and is available for stays checking in Monday – Thursday (check-in Monday from 3pm, check out by Friday by 11am). Breakfast can be added at time of booking for £10 per person

As you can see below, you need to click on “Special Rates” and then enter the code COMMUTER in the “Promo Code” box:

What is the hotel like?

Honestly, it looks fine (if you don’t mind very small rooms) and I would personally have no issues paying substantially more than £30.

“The 212 modern cabins (are) fully equipped with an adjustable SmartBed™ with a super comfortable gel cooled mattress, rain shower, Smart TV, multiple power and USB charging ports and free super-fast Wi-Fi.

YOTEL London first opened its doors in Clerkenwell on 1 August and offers an experience driven by minimalistic design and clever use of technology; ideal for those who appreciate the quality of a boutique hotel but without the hefty price tag.

The hotel has implemented #SmartStay, a package of safety measures and resources including increased frequency of cleaning of communal touchpoints, enhanced food safety protocols, increased hand sanitiser stations and social distancing reminders throughout the hotel.”

Bottom line

The Yotel Clerkenwell looks to be pretty similar to Premier Inn’s ‘hub’ brand, providing tiny but comfortable rooms in great locations for low prices. For £30, it’s a bargain.
