Booking and Payment |

How
do I Book and Pay? |

We only
accept online bookings for the Internship scheme. A small deposit
is required to book a place in residences. This will be
deducted from your total bill. All bookings are
processed by the Travelstay Network booking system. You
will be held responsible for rent for the entire period
booked
and you may not sub-let rooms. Full payment will
be taken in advance of arrival on 1st June
2010. You will be contacted with payment
instructions in mid May. We
cannot accept bank transfers as payment. For full

|
Why does it take so long to search? |
|
|
The booking
system checks each day that you are searching for, as
all bookings through this site are for long stays this
sometimes takes several minutes, especially on slow
connections. If you know which residence you would like
to stay in you can speed up the search by selecting a
residence on the search page. |

|
|
|
I
would like to stay in a residence not listed, is this
possible?
|
|
|
Rooms at Grosvenor House, High Holborn, Northumberland
House and Bankside House can be booked at standard
rates at

to LSE students. |
|
|
|
|
Can
I book a twin or triple room?
|
|
|
Past feedback has suggested that Interns prefer single
rooms so these are the only room types we offer through
this scheme. Twin, double, triple and quad rooms can
be booked at standard rates at
www.lsevacations.co.uk
|
|
|
|
|
Can
I have a guest in my room?
|
|
|
All rooms offered through this scheme are singles and as
such overnight guests are not permitted to stay in your
room. If you
would like a guest to stay you can book a room with any
of the residences (subject to availability) at
www.lsevacations.co.uk. You can also book
twin or triple rooms for the whole period in this way.
Other guests must be signed in at reception on arrival,
and signed out on departure. |

Who else will
be in the residences?
|
|
|
Until 3rd July our residences will primarily still be
housing LSE students as they finish term. From 3rd July
Carr-Saunders Hall and Passfield Hall will operate as commercial accommodation
taking a wide range of guests. Rosebery Hall will
predominantly house LSE Summer School students until
18th August, and then commercial guests.
Sidney Webb House and Butler's Wharf will mainly accommodate
LSE students and people booking via this program throughout the summer and are therefore
likely to be quieter |
