I’ve booked a lot of hotels in London over the years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that finding something genuinely affordable in a genuinely central location feels a little like winning a small lottery. So when I first stumbled onto the Marlin Waterloo while searching for a cheap hotel in London, I…

I’ll be honest with you — when I first started planning a solo trip to London on a tight budget, I nearly choked on my coffee when I saw hotel prices in zones 1 and 2. Like, £250 a night for a room the size of a shoebox? No thanks. But then I started digging…
