The Lodge Hotel - London

Unless you have a room on the top floor it will be advisable to get a set of ear plugs.

Friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast.

Wir hatten Tickets für Wimbledon und deshalb dieses Hotel gebucht, weil es nur eine U-Bahn-Station von der Wimbledon-Tennisanlage entfernt ist. Das Zimmer kostete 116 englische Pfund (ca. € 180), ohne Frühstück, ohne Klimaanlage, und das Fenster konnte nur auf ca. 10 cm gekippt werden. Im ersten Zimmer Nr. 27 hielten wir es nur eine Nacht aus: es war eine bessere Abstellkammer, sehr laut und sehr heiß. Wir zogen in Zimmer 39 um. Dieses Zimmer war erheblich geräumiger und auch leiser, aber genau so heiß wie Zimmer 27. Aber auch hier konnte das Fenster nur auf ca. 10 cm gekippt werden. Beim Auschecken und auch schon vorher hatten wir uns über das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis beschwert und konnten schließlich einen Nachlass von 10 % auf den Zimmerpreis heraus holen. Dieses Hotel würden wir nie mehr in unserem Leben buchen!! Es ist absolut NICHT empfehlenswert.

Went to take some pics of the boat race, hotel was handy cause it was it Putney where the boat race starts, and you could catch a train to Mortgate where it finishes, and the Oxford boat crew where in the hotel. Receptionist was very helpfull on arrival and took me to my room. Missed the first half of the England / Irleand game coz the bloody train was late. Good location for shops and resteruants, bought a bottle of sambuca for £10.99. Execellent breakfast in the morning. Missed the best shot of the day, coz some stupid women, saying dont stand there you will fall in. Found a nice ITALIAN resteraunt, got back to the bar, and was accousted by 2 couples from Birmaingham, one who used to be a pron star, and the other dis not explain wether it was a bi-normal or poisson distribution, and yes Mount Enta is near to Pompei. Did nothing on Monday because keira ( model ) did not contact show. Discovered the receptionist was from Lyon in France but lived in Spain, and invited me to she her in Tenerife. Tried to find the Hammersmith Odeon, but ended up in secrets. Why did you kill Ziggy. Another nice breakfast. A plonker who resembled Basil Falty wished the Oxford boat team ' hope to see you again next year, oh and hope you have better luck next year', and put my key on the wrong hook. Got a Taxi to Earls court, tube to Euston, and train ride home ?

I had no problems either with the booking system or the accomodation. The price I paid I considered very reasonable and the whole process was a positive experience.
