Are you looking for cheap Olympic accommodation? Well if you are then you had better get a move on, as I predict that after 31st December 2011 that a feeding frenzy will begin, so if you are not fast you will either end up paying an extortionate amount (Quite possibly for poor quality accommodation) or not getting any at all. And when it comes to looking at the time of your event you may well find you end up not going as you cannot get back out before your last train goes.
Simply put you may not be able to afford Olympic accommodation, but you may find that you cannot attend your event without some London accommodation.
The principal of cheap accommodation is very simple, book as early as you can to get the best price as come the end of 2011 the 2012 Olympic feeding frenzy will begin, and to get cheap accommodation you will need to get ahead of the rush.
The further out from central London the cheaper you will find things. Look for places with good direct high speed links into London, such as Reading, which is only 30 minutes on the fast train. Reading is a good place to look at as there are plenty of hotels both centrally and in out lying areas but it has the advantage that it has lots of parking near the station that is easily accessed from the Motorway.
Eaton and Windsor is also another good example of a location for getting into London quickly, yet the station and surrounding area has lots of parking. Do not let the fact that it is hosting the rowing put you off. There will undoubtedly be massive park and ride schemes in place, and it is only a short walk to the station from the Rowing venue, and when you are going into London and coming back out, the main flow of people will be going the other way. Of note though is that as Windsor and Eaton are major tourist attractions that hotel prices in this area are already expensive, yet it is well connected to other major towns locally by good roads.
These are the kind of things to think about when booking cheap accommodation, as the further away you are the cheaper the rooms will be. However your journey may need the use of a car and a train, to get from the venue to your hotel and vice versa.
I hope you find these ideas thought provoking when choosing Olympic accommodation.
