Anyone recommend a hotel near here? Shall be working in Osterley Park , and need a local hotel.

This one looks good:

http://www.travelodge.co.uk/search_and_book/hotel_overview.php?hotel_id=8

They are generally good and its very close to the job, but its only £30 a night, i can claim for £106, can anyone recommend a slightly better one? Maybe a pool?  8-)

Marriott ones are just outside my budget

dont get too hung up on what you can claim for, ultimately you're still paying

[Elite Pete]

Try useing an umbrella company, they will get you £75 a night (might be more for London)from the taxman even though you might only pay £30 a night

[tunnie]

TB - yes but its on the credit card, which always gets paid off in full later. Expenses are paid in next months pay-roll so should not be a problem.

EP - I am with an umbrella company, its £106 for inside M25, and about £80 ish outside

[Richie London]

try the osterly hotel, right next to osterley park or the master rober which is just along the sane rd also

I'm suprised, I stayed in some grotty holes at £22 a night and still claimed £75. Mine never asked for receipts

My old firm, British Telecom (as it was then) used to give us £53 a night for meals and board.  They knew we stayed in £8 per night fleapits (yes, such places existed in Reading in around 1990 ).  Or I just travelled every day if it wasn't that far, and still claimed the £53 (and used their fuel to travel every day ).

They started asking for receipts, so the engineers stopped volunteering to work in other areas....

When I was an apprentice for GPO telephones, they called it subsistence allowance.

Now you mention it, I think it was called subsistence

Then when it changed to BT, the bean counters were short sighted enough to stop that, with the obvious results.

I left telephones in the mid 90s, so no idea what happens now.
