Its called the Tune hotel, its a budget hotel which is based on the Ryan Air model. You have to pay extra for TV/Towels and all that crap. I simply want a bed more comfortable than a park bench in Hyde Park. They are selling some rooms for 1p plus booking fee and I was lucky enough to get one.
I know the area is not the best, the hotel is in the old Nationwide HQ (formally Lambeth Building society) but will probably just get the bus when going back to the hotel.
Newquay was really nice a lot of friendly young people wasn't rough in the way Blackpool is. However I was there on a Thursday. I didn't even know the place had a reputation until I got home as Newquay was never planned, I just ended up there as I saw far too many fights in Plymouth.
The downside is due to the cheap tickets I don't arrive in London until 2:45 but I don't leave Manchester until 12:35. On the way back I leave at 9pm so at least on the second day I get a full day in London.
