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 !!

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.

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

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.
