LONDON HOTEL HELP

[karl]

I am trying to remember the hotel I stayed in a few years ago in London.

All I can remember is it was within a few minutes walk of two train stations - the only other thing I remember which quite impressed me was the wash basins in the bathroom were glass.

When you say train stations--do you mean tube stations--or main line stations. If it is mainline stations, it would narrow it down a little--tube stations--impossible !!

Main line train stations Marian dear, if it was underground trains I'd say T U B E!!!

Ok Karl, I just wanted to make sure. Could have been somewhere round Kings Cross and St Pancras-they are very close to each other, lots of hotels around Kings Cross.

Karl, on reflection...scuze the pun wondering if they also had bidets in that bathroom and were they made of glass ?

Bidets? Oh you mean those things for chilling the wine!!!!

NO no bidet in the bathroom, it's only posh folk like you that have them!!!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Oh so that's it. I've often wondered what they were for, but no, we haven't got round to a bidet Karl, we've got a good foot spa that gets you tingling. very good for anyone who's got a foot fetish

I agree Don. It's solely for those who need bringing to heel. :

Here is the London hotel with glass wash basins:

Kings Cross St Pancras, & Euston stations only 5 minutes' walk from the hotel. Kings Cross St Pancras, & Eurostar follow the British Library exit signs, turn right onto Euston Road. Walk for 300m past the British Library, the hotel is located 5m on the right. From Euston Station turn left on Euston Road at the Fire station and follow Euston Road for 600m. The hotel is on your left after Chalton Street. By car, take the J1 and exit at Central London.

That's the one Paul, it used to be a Mercure I'm told.

However my friend & travel agent is booking a good hotel in Kensington for me. It turns out my neighbours stayed there years ago and enjoyed it.

Well done Paul--I would never have known that hotel--but at least I got the right area.
