Accommodation
Accommodation in recent years has increased in costs and this year keeping costs low is important. Study leave budgets are always under pressure and never seem to go far enough.

To secure the best accommodation within your budget, BGS have worked with Visit Leeds to identify hotels nearby with good rates and cancellation/ amendment terms.

You will be able to book the hotel of your choice and pay directly to the hotel. You will receive direct confirmations and can amend or cancel bookings on this website.

Other Top Tips:

The most affordable hotels are located away from the immediate area of ExCel, when searching for accommodation, use the search filters to look for:

Hotels located close to the Elizabeth Line, this line offers direct access to ExCel and you can pick the station closest to your preferred location

Search by star rating, 3 star hotels will offer lower rates

Use the drop down sort filter to show hotels in price order (low to high) and also, discount order, showing those hotels that are offering any special rate

Other sites and booking directly with the hotels may be cheaper - please do shop around.
