Any families staying in London at a DCL hotel?

It looks like there a few partnered hotels in London. We need a room to sleep 4 (2A2K). Any suggestions if you are staying at a London hotel that will take you to the port via DCL transfers?
TIA!

I can't speak directly to the DCL hotels, but I will tell you it's very hard to find a hotel in Europe that sleeps 4 in the same room. You may have better luck and a cheaper price by booking 2 rooms, FYI.

Yes, we had to do that last time... we didn't stay at a DCL endorsed hotel so wondering if they had more 4 person availability Thanks!

No it isn't.

No it isn't.

OK, so what's your secret, then?

No secret, I just use sites like Booking.com, Hotels.com. We have found plenty of choices for our family of FIVE in Copenhagen, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Rome, Florence, etc.

I suspect booking a room for 4 should be a lot easier than booking a room for 5.

DCL is offering transfers for London City Centre to Dover. You don't need to book a hotel with DCL to use this transfer. The pick up point is the Doubletree Victoria. We are staying at a Premier Inn around the corner from there. It doesn't look like the Premier Inn we are staying at has a room for four, but the Premier Inn Waterloo and County Hall do and they are close by. There are lots of hotels in the area including a Comfort Inn.

Just for grins, I went to Booking.com and searched for a central London hotel in mid-June for a family of 5 for 3 nights. It came back with loads of choices, and I thought the prices didn't seem too outrageous for many of the properties. If I searched for 4 people, I'm sure I would have come up with many more choices. You're welcome y'all!

Now I want to visit London!

We live in the UK, and whilst I don’t know what hotels DCL uses, I would say that compared to the rest of Europe there are plenty of hotels that sleep four to a room.

We are a family of four and regularly stay across the country in the Premier Inn chain. They are relatively basic, but always clean and good value for money.
