This one looks fine to me: http://www.globosapiens.net/hostel_london_ace-hotel-kensington_10044.html Is Kensington a good place to have your base for 3 days?

Although I was in London in 2002, I am really looking forward with a lot of excitement to see that vibrant city again. Plus this is the first time since 2002 that I will be visiting an english speaking country. That way I can catch up with some english as well :-) It was also a good experience to book through the GLOBO hostel booking engine for the first time. I have to admit that I noticed some things which had to be improved and I did. That reminds me on an old marketing philosophy... always try your own product before you try to sell it to other people :-) In fact I found a big bug that was responsible for taking down GLOBOsapiens this Summer during the high season of travel bookings. So I am really happy that I was able to find and fix it :-)... Oh well that goes to much off topic. Will post some pix as soon as I am back.

As we will be in London next week from Tuesday 3 October to Friday 6 October. Maybe we can meet. Marianne --- “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake.

Would be great to meet for a drink or so, not sure if I will find the time during the day as I am attending a fair in London, but the evenings are free.

Have a great time. Marianne --- “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” Robert Louis Stevenson Reply    Reply with quote    Contact marianne
