That s what I always do when traveling for holidays. I m getting too old for lousy accommodation! My

The time for fun (and not just work) has started last Friday, when I met Jesper in London for a relaxing week-end in two. We had a nice time, especially yesterday when we spent almost the whole day in the Royal Botanical Gardens, walking around and looking at weird plants, and just enjoying the nice rare sunny and warm day. We also saw some of the main attractions, like the Natural History Museum and the Tower of London, and we walked along Thames and gazed at the Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey (however, only from the exterior).
But this nice visiting time has been tainted by the tiredness we accumulated. The main problem was the accommodation. I will start by saying that if you go to London, don t ever stay at the Euro Lodge Clapham Hotel. It is just awful! They charge you a lot of money (we paid 134 pounds for two nights) and give you almost nothing in return.
For starters, the room was just awful. It was very small and the bathroom utilities cheap cruise tickets were so squeezed together that you barely had room to stand in front of the mirror with the door closed. But the small space wouldn t have been such a big problem. The main issue was the smell in the room it was immediately obvious that they painted recently. So we wanted to open the window and get some fresh air operation that failed. We went back to the reception and asked for help. Some Russian guy finally came (he was very friendly though) and after using some tools he managed to open the window. The problem was that they were so impatient with the job that they closed the window before the paint got dry Next, the room was placed on the ground floor, right next to a path that some used to get out of the hotel there were even some armchairs in front of the window luckily nobody used them. This obviously meant we couldn t just have the window open and the curtains drawn (which were dirty of paint) to let the air come through
And not to get started on their joke of a breakfast, which can be summarized as follows: toast with gem, milk with cornflakes, orange juice that tasted mainly like water and tea and coffee that we didn t dear trying
As you might tell, I am very pissed because on the accommodation we had. Luckily the time we spent outside the hotel made everything much better. Now I am looking forward to the couple of days we will spend together in Oxford, after which we will head towards Edinburgh!
Always be careful when booking a hotel room in London. They are notoriously small – *very* cheap cruise tickets small! Your experience sounds exactly like one I had last year in London. Since I traveled as part of work, I didn t want to spend too much on accommodation lesson learned!
That s what I always do when traveling for holidays. I m getting too old for lousy accommodation! My girlfriend joined me in London after I finished work, and we stayed at H10 Waterloo which is *HIGHLY* cheap cruise tickets recommended! But also a little pricy
Oh, sorry to hear about the accommodation! It is a common problem in London. I did not have a very decent room in the dormitory where I stayed. However, the places to go to and the people you meet there somehow compensated for it. Enjoy that part and be more patient with lodging, etc. I do hope you ll find a better place to stay. I miss London . but cheers! :o)
