Club Quarters St. Pauls
(16-28 Ludgate Hill) is yet another sound Club Quarters hotel in London. It might lack the wow factor, but it’s adequate and reasonable. It’s like one of those things you love, but will never be in love with. Clean and neat rooms, a bit uninspiring, but well equipped.The best thing about this hotel is probably the location. It’s in a short distance from St Paul’s Tube Station and a stone’s throw from the cathedral itself. The bus stop is literally on the doorstep of Club Quarters St Paul’s hotel, so if you don’t fancy a walk,
the double-decker will bring you to West End in a wink.If you aren’t too enthusiastic about the hotel’s meal, there are plenty of lovely bars and cafes nearby.But if you are after something that oozes character, have a look at “Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese” (145, Fleet Street). It’s tucked away down an alleyway, off the Fleet Street, and can be tricky to find, but it’s well worth the efforts. Perch yourself somewhere in this warden-like maze of rooms, and while sipping a good pint of Sam Smith, just absorb that cheerfully grim atmosphere of old London. “Cheshire Cheese” is not only well-known for being one the oldest pubs in London, and for Dickens or Twain hung around there, but also for cheap and good quality booze.
