I needed to be near St Pancreas International for a 6.00am train trip on a Sunday. I therefore could not risk not being 'on site'. The cheapest hotel was A Travel Lodge, which was pretty dire. Clean, yes, but in need of a total 'refurb' and about as alluring as Ford Open Prison. The price £119.00. Add £9.00 for a revolting pizza and you have it.
On the way back, I stayed again at The Adria.' Price? £89.00. I checked in very late.
No problem.
I hate UHT and they provided me with a jug of fresh milk. The rooms are beautifully turned out. Think a new Travel Lodge before anyone has actually stayed there and then some. Really comfortable bed, fridge safe, hairdryer, fan.
Is it as good as The Hilton?
Maybe not.
Is it by far and away the best thing I have ever found in London at anywhere near this price?
You bet!
I am looking froward to my next visit.
