I'm the same with privacy issues dj, for that reason I tried to find a hotel. I'm a very, very light sleeper so any snoring will keep up all night. I stayed at this place with a few buddies called 'Baker's hotel' since I couldn't afford much. It was only like a 3 star, but it was in a great location (kinda hard to find on your first time) but the beds were clean. It's not a place where you would chill out other than sleeping but it did its job for its price. I would recommend it, but... it kind of stunk. Inside the rooms it was okay but outside in the hall ways it was unbearable. Like going to take a piss I had to hold my breath. If you don't mind the stink of super strong curry by all means stay there. But if you're really on a budget and want a clean place with private bath, stay there.
Oh yeah, this was in London. Check out Amsterdam too if you get a chance, kind of a neat place. If you're into the artsy stuff there's some art museums (Van Gogh and another one) and most importantly the Heinken brewery
