Globetrotter Inns London

***************

Points positifs

***************

chouette auberge, a 2min a pieds d'une station de metro.

Structure assez grande, personnel vraiment sympa.

Possibilite de laisser ses bagages dans une piece securisee, meme apres check out.

Chaque lit est muni de petites tentures, ce qui renforce le sentiment d'intimite.

Points negatifs

****************

Auberge situee assez loin du centre ville (il faut 20 a 30 minutes pour atteindre le centre.

Petit dejeuner assez pauvre mais suffisant si vous vous moquez de ce genre de choses.

les "locataires" sont assez bruyants parfois => prevoir une paire de boules quies

Impression globale

******************

J'y retournerai sans probleme lors d'un prochain voyage a londres car offre bon rapport qualite-prix

J'ai sejourne deux fois au Globetrotter Inn de Londres, une fois en chambre privee, et une fois en dortoire, et j'ai ete entierement satisfaite les deux fois.

Dans la chambre privee, nous avions une grande salle de bain avec douche tres propre, des serviettes nous etaient fournies, deux lockers, et une armoire.

Le dortoire etait tres grand et meme si nous etions 6, nous avions beaucoup d'espace. Nous avions chacun un locker et il y avait un lavabo dans la piece.

C'est de loin la meilleure auberge de jeunesse dans laquelle j'ai sejourne, et j'en ai fait plusieurs. Les matelats sont confortables, chaque lits sont equipes d'un petit rideau qui vous assure une certaine intimite, il y a une grande salle a manger, une grande cuisine, plusieurs laveuses et secheuses, et beaucoup de salles de bain. L'auberge est situe a deux minutes de marche de la station de metro, et vous n'avez qu'a faire 20 minutes de metro pour vous rendre au centre de Londres. De plus, je n'ai vraiment pas trouve que l'auberge etait bruyante.

Je la recommande a tous!!!

We stayed here for a night before, and a couple of nights after, a three week Top Deck tour through Europe.

It is located in a good location as it is near a tube stop and there are a variety of reasonably priced restaurants and convenience stores nearby.

Breakfast is included in the rate – toast, cereal, tea, coffee, juice. Meals are available in bar, and they are pretty good for the cheap price. The bar also has cheap drinks. There is also cheap internet (1.5 pounds for 1 hour), and laundry facilities, available. There is also a little shop on site.

The place works on a card system – you load money on the card and pay for drinks, food, etc with it. Not sure whether this is a help or a hinderance overall.

The staff at reception were very helpful. We were able to book a cab to the airport and pay a reasonable flat rate for it at reception in advance.

Accom Before the Tour

After initial confusion, our booking was found. As there were no double beds left we were given bunk beds in a room with an ensuite. This was where the problems started. The shower drained extremely slowly and also leaked. Additionally, the room had bed bugs. Furthermore, the place was quite noisy with people coming and going, slamming doors, showering, talking, etc.

Accom After the Tour

We were given the same room as we had during our earlier stay. Realising this, we went back to reception and mentioned that we had experienced bed bugs last time. We were advised that the place had recently been fumigated. We didn't see any alive bed bugs this time, however there were quite a few dead ones in the room. Additionally, we were bitten by 'something' during the night and had 'something' crawling on us (including into an ear)! The place was not as noisy this time (perhaps as it was a mid-week stay). The linen and towels are also not changed during your stay.
