11th Jan - 21st January, 2007

This annual trip to England included a weekend in Hannover, Germany to visit the flooring exhibition at Domotex. A quick dash around to visit customers and potential clients on my way back to London. Stopped over in Reading, Henley on Thames and then London itself.

It was an unusual warm 10 days but was told it the temperature dropped to 4 degrees and snowed in Manchester that evening I left England!! Great timing!!

I had night in London before heading north to Manchester and so I had to find a place to lay my head for the night. Everyone is familiar with the cost of hotels in the UK and so, I booked this on the net www.bedandbreakfasts.co.uk not knowing what to expect. Great website for London information!!

Anyway, to cut the story short; I would give this place a full THUMBS UP for location, service, cleaniness and friendliness. For 50 quid per room per night; I got wi fi in my room, ensuite (which is not always the case in the UK) and a full english breakfast in the morning. The room is not super big but ideal for a couple or businessman for a night or two.

I arrived at 5.30 am from Kuala Lumpur, tired and wanting a rest. The manager at the front desk invited me for a complimentary breakfast and checked me in at 9.30am!!

The hotel is 5 minutes walk to Euston station which is the main railway line to any northwest destinations. It is also 10 minutes walk to Kings Cross and Euston Square Underground.

To the people at Mabledon Court Hotel...thanks for a wonderful stay!!
