The location and reasons to visit:
London, UK. Lots of old buildings to see, some alongside a river with lots of muddy
water in it. Museums, art galleries and all the usual tourist stuff. To make this
page a bit different, I took a helicopter trip over the city to get some aerial shots
that are a bit different to normal tourist shots.
Review of Claridges Hotel, London, UK:
Some good things, some bad. The food in the Gordon Ramsay restaurant was superb.
The champagne cocktails in the bar were excellent. The service in the bar and restaurant
was highly efficient.
I checked-in mid afternoon and was unpacking when one of the cleaning supervisors
let herself into the room, without knocking, saying ‘Oh sorry, I didn’t think anyone
was in here’.
And why oh why do they bother to ask at check-in, what time guests would like to
have their rooms serviced, then totally ignore it and not inform the housekeeper
who was to do the work?
I’d asked for the room to be serviced after 11am. At 9am a housekeeping person knocked
on the door and asked to service the room. I told her it had been arranged for 11am
and she went away. I left the hotel at 9.30 for 30 minutes then returned, to find
the room was being serviced. How can they get things that wrong?
I also stayed at the London Marriott Country Hall Hotel. That was pretty much rubbish
as well.
