OK maybe not the savoy but these people are usually only in London a weekend or a few days at a time for Parilment

Parlimentry Green Book April 2009 states in Section 2.1.3 under appropriate expenditure....

Hotel Accomedation in Either London or the Constituancy is limited to £1250 a month which if they are only there for a few days which is usual can get a pretty decient room at somewhere like The Kingsway hall on Covent Garden where i have stayed which is 4* or even a Hilton 4* Hotel.

+ ontop of that they can claim a flat rate of £25 per night for each night away from home or parlimentry business.
