Ask HN: Where to stay in London for Startup School Europe?

[mvleming]

Hey guys, I'm sure there are some of us who got an invitation to Startup School Europe, are coming from outside of London, and are wondering where a good place would be to sleep for a night or two. Are there any HNers in London who want to offer their couch? I'd love to crash with some friends. If not, can any of you recommend a hostel, and perhaps a hotel as well for those who want a hotel instead?

Startup School Europe is on July 26th, a Saturday, and the venue is near the Barbican tube station.

Cheers!

I'm staying at the London City Suites, which is apparently across the street from the venue and looks quite nice. I haven't been there before, so I can't really recommend it. Prices seem reasonable though (considering it's in the City of London).

Is anyone interested in renting out an apartment for the weekend?

I'm right now looking at airbnb and couchsurfing.. nothing convincing so far..

Hi I just booked a bed on airbnb. It is in walking distance for the warmup and for the main event as well. There is one bed left in the apartment. I can send you the link if you are interested. @odiestel

There are many good hostels in London (can't remember any really bad ones). For instance I rather liked St Christopher's London Bridge.
