Posted in Europe, Hotel, London, United Kingdom on Jun 1st, 2013
Q: What is it? A: A pretty new place for those who would like a hotel in a decent location that is not too expensive. Expect small rooms, though. The concept should be absolutely bombproof. London is notorious for expensive hotel rooms. In this city expensive may at the same time mean bad. But apparently [...]

Q: What is it? A: A better hotel in Clerkenwell. Amazing bar. Amazing staff. Top atmosphere. The Zetter Townhouse.
