No personal experience but there are a load of hotels around the ground and short walking distance from the tube station. Guess it all depends on your budget and other plans in London as to where you want to base yourself. If you are on a budget then consider Travelodge or Premier Inn (nicer than Travelodge). Staying in and around Covent Garden is a nice place in London and both chains have hotels there.

Yes I'd give the same Dvice.
Depends on budget and what you are doing over the weekend.

Wembley has a Hilton right next door which is really nice but you'll pay a premium rate now.
Hotels in Wembley away from the stadium are a bit cheap and not great area so stick to the Premier etc near by.

In the city there is plenty of choice.
If you have a decent budget Park Plaza on Westminster Bridge is really nice.
Better prices on Cromwell Road and Kensington

For best budget, get a Premier that's near a Tube Line out of town and just go in for the day.

You could even do Watford Premier and go see Harry Potter World too.

Usually get a good deal at weekends on the hotels round Canary Wharf and the Jubilee Line runs straight up to Wembley

Travelodge at Southwark; cheap and very cheerful,300 metres from tube on Jubilee line which runs straight to Wembley.

That's a good call actually.

I always stop in Watford. It’s cheaper for rooms, hotel parking is free and there is a train every 20 mins that stops at Wembley (takes about 15 mins).

If your getting there down the M1 it’s also very easy to get to as you turn off before the M25.
