Sorry to hear about your hotel choice.
In Victoria stay at Blades Hotel on Belgraves Rd. Great staff. Good breakfast. Hot water. No bugs. Clean. Near bus stops and eateries. Kevin, the manager, is a kick.

I stayed in a hotel like that (in Basel Switzerland) once. They do exist. The bed sank in the middle so much the mattress touched the floor. I then moved the mattress onto the floor to get some sleep, and prompty moved it back when I heard something scurrying across the floor !!! The was a major conference on and I had to extend my business trip by one night, it took a local travel agent about 4 hours to find that room - there was nothing else for miles around - I would have gone and wandered the streets instead but it was winter. |

I enjoy visiting London but my experience of London hotels is that too many are overpriced, poorly maintained, and staffed by people who feel customers are a nuisance. The experience described in the original post above doesn't sound at all far-fetched. On a more positive note I can recommend St. Margaret's Hotel in Bloomsbury. Not at all fancy, but at least it's affordable, and the staff are very helpful and pleasant. -- "Music is, after all, a highly complex form of mathmatical encryption.

I have no problem taking it seriously at all. I have had the same experience at 2 supposedly upscale London hotels. I have no difficulty in believing that there are bad -- some very bad -- hotels in London. I just don't give much weight to the opinions of people about whom I know nothing at all. With respect----in these newsgroups it is obviously impossible to "know about" everyone who reads and posts here. Just because you or I may know "know" a poster does NOT negate their obvious experiences and opinions. I never said the poster was wrong; I simply said that I find it difficult to take such a post seriously. The reason is that I know nothing at all about the poster, and a quick google suggests to me that this person has not made any other posts here. Neither am I telling anybody else what to think. -- PB The return address has been MUNGED |

I've never been impressed with London hotels. One of the problems is that there is no mandatory inspection or registration scheme [1] for hotels. I think something like 80% of tourist related accommodation [2] is registered with the tourist boards in Scotland, 50% in England but only 20% in London. Those figures may be mis-remembered from a radio report some time ago. I don't remember ever staying in a dirty hotel in Scotland [3]. Owain [1] There are requirements for fire certificates for sleeping accommodation for more than 6 persons, and for the registration of food premises with Environmental Health, but no general hotel quality scheme. [2] I'm not counting 'bed and breakfast' accommodation for the homeless, nor establishments that cater for building site workers and the like. [3] My mother did get a stomach upset whilst staying in one hotel about 25 years ago. |

In that case---I'm sorry but where do you get off making the statement you
did? Not trying to start a war----I just do not see what your problem was with the posting. You condem the post because you don't know the poster?
