Hire of a meeting room can cost from £15 per hour up to the hundreds for a full day at venues around the country.
Half-Day Versus Full-Day Rates
Many venues offer both a half-day and full-day rate, and although the full-day rate is sometimes nearly double the half-day rate for a few hours, booking the full day upfront can sometimes work out cheaper if you have no idea how long you will need in the end.
Per-Head and Flat-Rate Pricing
Some venues charge a flat room hire fee for a meeting room while others charge on a per delegate basis. When comparing prices for venues to hire a meeting room for a small number of people for a half day it is worth checking if any of them charge on a per delegate basis as the cheapest option may not be as cheap as it seems once the number of people booking increases.
What Is Usually Included
Be sure to ask for a full list of extras that are charged on top of the room hire fee, such as for AV, catering and for parking.
Flexible and Short-Notice Booking
Hourly hire of meeting rooms is increasingly offered in city centres, such as Chester, by hotels, conference and meeting centres, as well as by serviced offices, so short notice private hire of a meeting room is offered on an hourly basis.

Reducing the Cost
Also, you can save money if you have a meeting on a midweek day or off-peak time. The venue may also reduce their charges if you bring in your own food and / or cancel the use of AV equipment.
However, by preparing a little before you contact the venue to enquire about hiring a meeting room it could save you a lot of money.
