Christmas Party! - 29th/30th November

[Ruth]

O.K. kath sent me a text about this (all the way to Egypt) so pencil me in.

It's my wedding anniversary weekend but I let Mika in Doncaster take over last year so that shouldn't be a problem. It's just the cost if I can't get a good deal on the train.

[kath]

Kath ski , that weekend looks perrrfect

 

Everyone happy with that

 

I have just booked flights for me and Ab:thumb_yello:

 

Are we any further forward on a hotel?

 

Welcome back Ruth...............glad you will be able to come.........it is looking as though there will quite a lot of us!

[RAK1]

If we went for a takeaway - would we be able to eat it in the hotel?

 

If you stay at Travelodge they usually have menus for all the local takeaways, so no worries ;-)

Hmm, My Birthday is December 15th......I think I know what I may be getting myself for my B-day. (plane ticket to London)

*runs off to check bank account for reality check.*

[Starrats]

any news yet?

 

(I'm to lazy to read everything )

[Laurel]

November's 29/30 is fine for me too.... I was eyeing up an easyhotel in Victoria for me... because to be honest money's gonna be abit tight and when I last checked it was only £25.00 for the room per night.... will book holiday off work today anyway so that'll be sorted hopefully....

[Wendi]

Kath - where are you and Abby staying? Fancy a room-mate?

[Soaring Simpson]

Is the date definate now?

[sienna]

This is my suggestion of a hotel:

 

 

http://www.bookinhotels.com/europe/united_kingdom/london/corus_hyde_park_hotel.html?gclid=COCG7aTunpUCFQ9oQgodhziEjQ

 

 

I have been to London many times and this one is absolutely the best I have stayed at.

It gives you a lot for the money.

Hyde Park is across the street and you can easily walk to Regent Street and city.

The tube station, Lancaster Gate is just around the corner and very close is Queensway where you can find lots of restaurants.

 

In London many hotels have poor bathrooms with a shower that is only dripping and a toilet:thumbdown: not to be mentioned, but this hotel has clean and fresh bathrooms.

 

Central and not expensive.

 

What do you think?

Looks lovely - but a bit too expensive for me

[Sarahlou1973]

I'm a muppet. I can't change my holiday dates, as I have a commitment on the 4th December (Bjorn Again:punk:!!) so if I go Tue-Tue, I'll miss it....

 

Never mind, I'll have to experience the party vicariously through all your reports and pictures....I'm sure once it's all in full swing, you won't even notice that I'm not there....

Looks certainly lovely but for me a bit too expensive as well.

Anyone another suggestion? If the hotel is not expensive but we have to pay a lot for public transportation because of the location of the hotel it doesn't change much .

Are there hotels in the centre of London who are a bit nice and less expensive then the one in the link at all?

[IngievV]

Not sure if I can make enough money:shocked:

[Starrats]

[IngievV]

:tears:

I'll tryyy!

[Starrats]

I'll tryyy!

 

maybe you can sell some old stuff on marktplaats

[Monie]

There is a possibility that we will find a hotel a little less expensive.

[Wendi]

Try!!!!

 

I'll tryyy!

 

Try harder

I’m sure it is, but the problem is to know how they really are.

I’ve been staying at around 10 or 12 in the centre of London and most of them had really bad standard except from this one.

Made you think of Faulty towers or worse!

 

Another problem is that I don’t think we can get much help from the people who are actually living in London, they don’t have a reason to stay at a hotel, and it’s the same for me when I get asked about hotels in Stockholm.

 

Let’s wait and see, maybe someone knows more.

November's 29/30 is fine for me too.... I was eyeing up an easyhotel in Victoria for me... because to be honest money's gonna be abit tight and when I last checked it was only £25.00 for the room per night.... will book holiday off work today anyway so that'll be sorted hopefully....

 

That sounds good to me, is that for a single room then?

[IngievV]

I tried that last time but I was too lazy to send it:roftl:

[Monie]

Easyhotel sounds good as well (I'll have to bring sunglasses, flying with easyjet and staying in an easyhotel. I should be used to the colour though, it's Holland’s national colour ). The price is very attractive. Is Victoria far from the centre of London? Do they have a nice lounge or must we go somewhere else for that?
