Centrally located, quiet city hotel in Westminster the Vincent Square.22 kilometers as the crow flies from Heathrow Airport. Some restaurants, bistros and shops in within easy walking distance. The River Thames is located a 10 minute walk away. The London Eye it was about 20 minutes on foot, as the River Thames over the Vauxhall -, the Lambeth - or the Westminster Bridge cross. Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey are only 15 to 20 minutes easy walking distance. Further north to the Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery (free admissions ) only 10 minutes more walk. Within a few steps of Trafalgar Square the Leicester Square ( Musicaltickets for the same evening up to 50 % cheaper in various shops ) with lots of shops and restaurants. Next door, is the Piccadilly Circus, the epitome of tourist life. Also the Konsummeilen Regent Street - and the Oxford Street are not far off. Whoever reasonably good on foot, the Grange Rochester hotel ideally located. To Victoria Station, where UA. The train from the Airport Gatwick ( Gatwick Express, 30 minutes without any stops. Runs from the South Terminal every 15 minutes )stop, but its only about 10 minutes. ( Return from Victoria Station to Gatwick, tracks 13 + 14 , also every 15 minutes). The Paddington station, from the Heathrow Express (20 minutes drive, 1 Airportinterner stop, every 15 minutes from a train ) route, is further from the hotel Grange Rochester than the Victoria station. Paddington Station is located in the area, between the Regent ''s Park and Hyde Park. A taxi takes about 15 minutes depending on traffic and will cost £15 . Even the Buckingham Palace is 20 minutes away by foot. The hotel Grange Rochester is so centrally located.

Gastronomy Unused

We had just pure room. But the hotel offers a breakfast buffet for a fee. ( I think there were about 18 euros). For the healthy wallet offers the Grange hotel or even a French restaurant ( means spendable pavilion ) as well as for guests of the hotel it was still about the Lords lounge bar, with fine wines with prices where you can get the same.:)

Small, cozy room ( circa 20 sqm incl. bathroom ) with carpeted floors, heavy Stoffvorhänge, lots of dark wood, mostly typical British. We only had a small but cozy double bed 200 x 140 with the crowds. The rooms include 1 wardrobe, electronic safe (free), 1 sideboard with many drawers, a chair, 1 chairs, 2 mirrors, 1 kettle for free tea / coffee, as well as a LCD TV and an ironing board. The ornate ceiling is optically good in the room. There is sufficient outlets (adapter required) and the lighting in the room was great. lack of air con, also a mini-bar. We also had no balcony, but a terrace without chairs. The small marble bathroom includes a shower, large mirrors, and a hair dryer. The room was clean and in good condition.


Tips and recommendations

The cell phone reception was very good. Tickets to Madame Tussauds best ordered over the internet, the waiting time may be during the holiday weekend 3 h. There are plenty of bus tours of London, the more or less commented. The tickets for the tours are usually up to 24 hours, so that even the following day the lost be visited kann.6 routes, 80 Anfahrtspunkte, many stops, as desired - and off. The subsequent double decker bus which takes you after 10 minutes. The normal tour without stops takes 2 hours and costs incl. a boat trip on the River Thames (duration about 1 hour. ) About 30 Euro. you Should voucher for your traveling by train from the Airport in the city you they are near the Einstieges change on the subject to switch tickets at the right. London is a great city for musicals. At the same time it walk 25 different in the city. Cards you end last minute, at half price. The musical houses are smaller than in my own country but comfortable with a lot of atmosphere. The Kartenkauf valid: Stalls is the room ground floor with the stage and Circle is the position in the upper area. In the Großbritannienforum inform you can here were top on the trip and well prepared. If you like the info helped it may only be called " LONDON IS CALLING "
