Hotel Review: London Croydon Aerodrome Hotel : Signature Collection by Best Western

London Croydon Aerodrome Hotel used to serve Croydon airport but now I feel that it is more of a place for functions and parties since Croydon airport is no longer functioning.

This hotel is convenient for those was cars or you would have to get the bus as it is located in Purley Way with many annoying traffic lights and that stretch is often congested.

Overall nice conference suite names like the Hurricane, Spitfire and Dakota etc.

The rooms were ok but too many windows when it was surrounded by scaffolding when we were there.

There were two radiators to keep you warm but the taps were dripping and when you use them, the water spurts out.

Hotel Review: Days Inn Stevenage North in Baldock

Days Inn Stevenage North is located at Baldock Service station so convenient for those making long trips and wanting a break in between.

A rather basic hotel and it is interesting because this is the only hotel with a muddy entrance.

The shower different, there was an edge to either put things or to use as a seat.

Each room has a seal so you can see it has been sanitized etc.

The only gripe was the dirty cup.

Hotel Review: hub by Premier Inn London West Brompton hotel

Review of Hub by Premier Inn, West Brompton.
A very nice and bustling hotel just a few footsteps away from West Brompton over ground station, 10 minute walk to Earls Court High Street.

It is also near the BBC earth experience and Brompton Cemetery.
Late at night, it was good to see patrons at the lounge of the hotels.
There are rooms below ground level which I particularly liked because there was no window so you feel nice and cozy.
The shower was powerful which was good, equipped with kettle, hairdryer, a lovely giant bath towel and my favourite Baylis Harding white tea shower gel.
At the other end of the bed, there is a table that pulls out.
On the wall, I loved the picture which divides London in different blocks.
There is a lit storage space under the bed which is functional.
Overall recommended but as a foodie, food choices were grim in the area.

Nonna Rosa's Italian Coffee Bar/Delicatessen

I intended to go to London for an Italian sandwich but didn't quite make it so ended at this other Italian deli which is rarely open when I'm in town.
I was in town to try this chippie but since this place was open I went in.
Upon entering, there was a chilled cabinet with lasagne and then I saw these baguettes which were interesting being in an Italian cafe.
I fancied the artichoke in the baguette so ended up having it with ham.
Ideally I should have chosen the focaccini but they look like the mass produced ones and the texture looked like brioche so the reason I had regular bread.
It was a nice sandwich, the artichokes were a bit bland and woody like Chinese canned bamboo shoots depending on which part of the artichoke but nicer hence the ham was there to give it flavour.
It is difficult to get fresh artichokes hence the reason for brined ones just like bamboo shoots but bamboo shoots smell of urine.
Overall a nice fix out of the blue.
All this and tea for £7.50.
