Any central London hotel under £400 a night is going to be a squalid shítpit.

If you want to play, you've got to pay. :shrug:

Got in at The Ned a few months ago for £380. Quite nice.

Before I moved to Wimbledon (and therefore have no need for hotels in London), I tried a Premier Inn hub. Tiny little rooms but well appointed and fine for a night of rest. Think I paid £180 to stay in the Goodge St one & if one intends to be out and about then it seems like a good option, to me.

Which chick wouldn't go weak at the knees at the sight of a Premier Inn, eh?

He wants The Beaumont, that's what he wants.

Well it depends what her motives for meeting with e are, I suppose. And this isn't just any old Premier Inn.

The Delaunay is an option too, I would think.

Speaking of chicks, I have booked a private beach bungalow for 2 nights at the Koyao Island Resort on Ko Yao Noi & then two nights at some little beach shack called Ko Yao Beach Bungalows. Any experience of either/recommendations to stay on Ko Yao Noi. Going in Feb.

Well, the Elizabeth Tower.
Or rather the scaffolding around it.

tbf. You can't go wrong with a Travelodge or Premier Inn. You know what you are going to get...

A decent room, a bathroom and a large bed for whatever type of shenanigans* you want to get up to.

* sleeping :cloud9:

I checked 8nto the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge around 15 minutes ago. I am using their free WiFi in my superior room, about to head to the bar and then wards to black tie dinner. Dull, dull, dull. Anyway, the fact remains, this place is a squalid ****pit.

Does beg the question as to why one has booked into it?

Okay, I'm inclined to credit your suggestions. Even if you are a capitalist fvck, this is the sort of knowledge base one wants for choice of a good hotel.

And you did come up with a good suggestion for Hong Kong, the Mandarin Oriental. Going to be spending a good bit of time there, as we've set up an office at Shaw Studios. I'll try this Park Plaza you speak of. And if any of you lads want to come over for a drink, please say so. :thumbup:
