Accommodation

[Brooker!]

Another one for the Hub Club. I got five nights at the Brick Lane one for £237 - it's not the nearest but at that price I could get an Uber back every night and still be ahead of most of the other options.

Pretty much my feelings when I booked Westminster.
And it's a lovely walk.

Covent Garden Hub breakfast isn't unlimited, just a choice from a reasonable menu for £5. Still much better value than anything else nearby though.

Yeah, looking at CG (and Brick Lane) they seem to have a different system to the others, although it still looks good. I've stayed at Kings Cross, Goodge Street and Westminster and each of them have the unlimited buffet. I had to go back to bed for an hour

Uh oh. What should I be concerned with then? No A/C?

The St Giles is well known for being a pit, which is why it's cheap. Tiny rooms, no A/C and you won't want to stand on the carpets in your bare feet so take flip flops for showers and in the room. I did a day of meetings there (admittedly a few years ago) and the room was so grim I left without staying the night. To be fair, it's not as if you'll be in it much - I was stuck in there all day which probably did make it worse.

This is awesome.
I liked the little breakfast at Covent Garden when I was there last year and kinda assumed the Westminster one was the same.
Just had a look and it's unlimited continental. Perfect!
