Look up the Thanet Hotel in Bloomsbury. Nicely located near the
tourist
areas and not too expensive. Technically it is a B&B I believe.

Usually central London = quite horrible and expensive. My brother stayed
at Hyde Park Rooms a month ago (which is not really at Hyde Park but near
Paddington) and found that to be quite OK (see tripadvisor reviews).

That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation. I'm interested to know which
aspects of central London you find quite horrible.

He might be meaning that the quality of hotel for the price is horrible?
It's expensive, but I don't think it's particularly any worse than a lot
of other popular capital cities...

I'm afraid I don't know what the OP means by 'not too expensive.' If
£40ish, then EasyHotel (try and get a window) if £80 and up, then Jurys
Russell Square often have weekend specials- we stayed there in June for
£80 a night (including VAT) and it was very nice. We got the deal
through laterooms.com- oddly, the Jurys website had the same 'deal' but
added VAT on top, making it more expensive!

I was referring to the general standard of accommodation provided in Central
London, not the city itself. If you look at Trip Advisor reports you'll see
why. Very shabby rooms and poor service at high prices.

London is not unique in that regard.

Give www.hotwire a try. It can be a lucky dip, although a
little research on www.tripadvisor.com usually gives some
idea of the hotel or area you will get.

Last April I stayed for four nights at the Regent's Park
Holiday Inn for US$538.60 including taxes and fees via
Hotwire. That works out at about GBP67 per night.

The hotel was US-style, comfortable and quite acceptable.
The location was reasonable, not far from two tube stations
(Great Portland Street and Regents Park) and I walked down
to Oxford Street a couple of times. There is a coin
laundrette nearby and good breakfast cafes within a couple
of blocks.

On a previous trip in 2006 I stayed very cheaply at the 4*
Thistle Marble Arch via www.priceline.com using the
"bidding" system .

If you are staying for more than a day or two, I found this
apartment near Marble Arch was great value when I stayed in
2003: http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p1904. If you
decide on that one, book early; I intended staying there for
both my later trips but was too late when I tried to book.
If the site is current, the weekends of the 13th and 27th
may be available.

The review comment on that site looks accurate to me.

In central London I made good experiences with Hilton Kensington.
Reasonable price, good quality, walking distance to Hyde park.

In the meantime I tried to Ibis hotels outside central London. The one
at Wembley stadium is located directly at a train station and in
walking distance from two tube stations - different lines.
Unfortunately they usually increases prices during weekends. From Ibis
Heathrow you can almost watch planes on the runway, but the rooms are
quiet. Take free bus line 555 from Harlington Corner at the hotel to
Heathrow terminal tube station / airport.

Oh, and for London in September I recommend to choose a hotel with A/
C. All hotels mentioned above are airconditioned.
