London’s low cost hotels: what a shower

March 15, 2008

“I ended up standing outside the shower to lather up and then stepping back in — my arms clenched against my body — to rinse off.”

From today’s New York Times which reviews The Rockwell hotel in (shudder) Cromwell Road in London. It seems that discovering a decent bargain hotel in London continues to make tracking the Holy Grail look like finding a needle in a needle stack.

    needle in a needle stack.
    Do you mean hay stack?

    No, I meant tracking down the Holy Grail would be easy in comparison to finding a really good low cost hotel in London.
    I know because I have often despaired of getting a reliable bolt-hole in London (while, funnily enough, I have a couple of Grails on my kitchen shelves right now).
