Days Hotel London North

first we’ll do the pros.
Got a great rate thru travelocity, hotel is new, pictures look just like the ones online, nice, spacious modern hotel, easy check in, comfy beds, nice bathroom, good restaraunt Indigo Restaurant (fish and chips is mmm mmm good) onsite, we paid about $ 89 US dollars a night which is a UNBEATABLE rate… rate included free breakfast… eggs, sausage, bagels, bacon, fruit salad, yogurts, juices, cereal, etc. pretty nice spread, hotel staff friendly, helpful, overall the hotel itself was great… NOW here comes the con. there is only one con about this hotel, the LOCATION. right off the M1 and nearest tube is Edgeware, this hotel is out of the way EVEN with a car, and forget getting into Central London without one, its do-​able, but such a pain in the tushy… if you do stay here without a car, the hotel can call a taxi for you, make sure its with Apex Taxi Co. (if you can, ask for their driver named Ford, he’s a sweetheart) they only charge 5 pounds each way, and since the hotel is right off of the M1, the taxi’s go the back way street so you arent even dropped off in front of your hotel door, (which totally sucks if its raining and freezing outside)
after you spend the day in the City, we just called the Apex Taxi Service from inside Edgeware Station and waited for pick.(another 5 pounds)…so if you dont mind spending 10 pounds a day on taxi pickup, waiting for the taxi, then paying 6 pounds to ride the tube on top of that each day, then waiting for the taxi once you get off the tube. then walking to your hotel door off some back alley street (although we felt safe on the street, and its CCTV monitored) then by all means stay here… if only they could get a large crane and pick up this hotel and put it near Picadilly Circus it’d be perfect, but that aint gonna happen soooooo I think the next time in London, I’ll stay at a hotel thats right around from the tube… MIND THE GAP!
