Accommodation during the Proms
A heads-up for anyone booking rooms at Imperial College during the Proms - I have just had an email from the College reservations office, informing me that Beit Hall is closed for the whole of September for refurbishment.
Agh! What a shame. Just today I was thinking about getting a private room at Beit for the duration. Does anyone have any recommended alternatives? Thanks!

They're taking bookings for Princes Gardens. I got an email yesterday stating that bookings were open for the summer. When I tried to check out prices etc. for the Proms, the only accommodation I was offered was at Princes Gardens. I emailed asking why there were no prices for Beit, which is when I got a reply email informing me about the refurbishment.Originally Posted by Eudaimonia

Bizarre, I'm sure the initial email I received had a footnote which specifically mentioned Beit!

I have had a further response following my latest email. They have confirmed that as July and August are busier, they have decided to close down during September! You might also like to know that the prices in Princes Gardens are much more expensive than Beit. A single ensuite is £69.50 per night, as opposed to £50 per night at Beit. There is also no reduced rate for rooms during the Proms. This means a single ensuite room for three nights would be £208

I've found a hotel within walking distance of the RAH, rack rate for a single room is £120pn, offered at by the hotel at £96 but apparently being discounted by an agent for various random dates between early July and mid August at £46pn. But that offer appears to close 31 March.
I've turned on my Visitor Messaging and left a message there so that logged in members can see the details.

Problem is, FF, that quite a number of us need accommodation for the last three nights of the season. If anyone knows of any cheap accommodation within walking distance of the RAH, please let us know!!!

Fair enough, HJ - the price quoted goes up to £78pn from Sept 6th - and it would in any case depend whether you wanted singles, doubles, trips, dormitory (obviously a different type of accommodation), and for how many people.
