Club Quarters St Paul, London

Three of us just returned from our stay in London. We had booked Club Quarters St. Paul through a booking agent who told us it was a great place to stay. Unfortunately, it's right in the center of the financial district so on weekends, all the pubs and restaurants in that vacinity are closed. However, just a few blocks of walking takes you to Covent Gardens and Piccadilly Circus, where there are loads of places to shop, eat and drink. The hotel itself offered a nice lounge with three computers & free internet service. The hotel was very neat and clean as were the rooms. They weren't large but a double would easily accommodate two persons. There was a restaurant right next to the restaurant that offered breakfast and dinner but was not open on Sunday. The hotel only offered coffee or tea. The only problem we had was the wake-up call. We had a taxi picking us up at 6 a.m. for our flight out of Heathrow. We asked the front desk the previous evening to call us at 5 a.m. and at 5:15 a.m. just to make sure we got up. Assuming that was going to happen, we didn't set our own alarm clock. At 5:42 a.m., we got our 5 a.m. wake-up call. Needless to say, we had 18 minutes to get ready and get downstairs for our cab. We made it but not without forgetting a few important items. Aside from that major error, everything else was great.

we stayed here on our London part of our 2week Europe trip in the summer of 2006, found it through TripAdvisor. Great location, only a 2 min walk to the St. Paul tube station. Rooms are small (like most places in London at this price range) but very nice. Clean and well furnished. Staff is friendly and helpful. There's free internet access downstairs. And for the money, you can't find a better deal. Definitely would go back on the next trip.

Location is good -- St Paul station tube is 500 meters. Rooms are small but well designed & bed is very comfortable. Walls are thin but it is a business hotel which is typically very quite. Bring an RJ45 jump cable to connect to the internet -- wireless does work in guest rooms but signal is lost frequently.

excellent accomodation expensive breakfast great cafe round corner Bit out of the way but easy to get into central london very quiet on Sunday nothing open
