Ungahlulahlula nyhani ihotele yakho hlala kwiindidi ezimbini ezahlukeneyo. Ngamanye amaxesha, ihotele yindawo ekugxilwe kuyo kunye nenxalenye ebalulekileyo yokundwendwela indawo esiya kuyo. Kukwakhona neendawo ezimbalwa apho ihotele iyindawo nje efanelekileyo yokulala ubusuku.
Isizathu sokugqibela ndindizisela kwi-Indigo London - Ihotele yasePaddington, ihotele ye-IHG ibekho nje kwikona evela kwisikhululo sasePaddington, ekhaya kunye neendlela eziphambili ze-Ellizath, kunye nezinye iindlela zololiwe.
Asikuko ukuba ndifuna ukuhlawula ngaphezulu kweholide entle. Yonke into endiyifunayo yintuthuzelo, ukululama, lula kunye nokusebenza kwixabiso elifikelelekayo.
Emva kwe-jetblue yokuqala ye-jeetblue evela eBoston ukuya eLondon ngo-Agasti, ndachitha malunga neeyure ezingama-48 esixekweni. Ngexesha lokufika kwam emfutshane eLondon, kwakufuneka ndenze izinto ezintathu: ukuphumla ngaphambi kokubuyela kwam ukubuyela umva, fumana umsebenzi omninzi, kwaye ubone isixeko xa ndandinexesha.
Kum, kwaye kubahambi abaninzi beshishini kunye nabakhenkethi baseMelika abaye bamisa rhoqo okanye bematshini baseLondon, oku kuthetha ukuba ndinokhetho ezimbini: ndingahlala kude ne-heathrow yesikhululo seenqwelomoya, kwaye ndonwabe kakhulu. kwi-terminal yam, okanye ndingahlala kwihotele kufutshane kakhulu kwiSixeko esithandwa kakhulu ngaphandle kokubingelela ngokulula okanye imali.
Ndithathe isigqibo sokukhetha le yokugqibela kwaye ndahlala kwi-Indigo London - Paddington Ihotele. Ekugqibeleni, ifanela zonke iinkalo.
Ngelishwa, ndikhangele kule hotele ndinokufikelela ngokulula emva kokuba ndibhabhe eLondon Gatwick (LGW), kodwa ndandifuna ukwazi ukuba ihotele inokuthi ifumane indlela abantu abaninzi abakhweli kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseLondon.
Ngenxa yokuba isikhululo senqwelomoya saseHeackrow sisondele esixekweni, malunga neekhilomitha ezili-15 ukusuka kwi-piccadilly isekisi, iindwendwe ezininzi ukuya eLondon enqwenela ukukhetha phakathi kweHondon engaphantsi kwe-London engaphantsi kwe-London engaphantsi okanye inkonzo ebizayo.
Nangona kunjalo, ngokukhetha ihotele i-Indigo London - Padsington njengekhaya labo lexeshana kude nekhaya, abahambi bafumana ukufikelela kwi-Onlic eyongezelelweyo kwaye ngakumbi. Endaweni yokuthatha ityhubhu ukuya kwiZiko leSixeko elingaphantsi kwe- $ 30, iindwendwe zinokuthatha i-heathrew ivele kwi-paddington kwimizuzu eli-15.
Uloliwe ocacileyo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya uya kuthatha iindwendwe njengokuhamba nje kwehotele - izinyuko ezingama-230 ukusuka kwi-turchshoil kwiqonga elingaphezulu lesikhululo sasePaddington ukuya ngqo kwihotele ukuze kwenziwe.
Xa uphuma esitishini, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuvakalelwa ngathi ukwisitrato saseLondon exakekileyo. Xa ndaqala ukuphuma kwisikhululo sasePaddington, ndatsho ndaphathwa yi-clatter ye-icotter ye-iconic Red-Parded Pards emva kokulala ngokulala kunye ne-tube.
Xa uhamba ezantsi isikwere ngemizuzu emibini ukuya kwihotele, ingxolo ixhasa kancinci kwaye ihotele iphantse idityaniswa kunye neendawo ezahlukeneyo zokugcina iimpahla kunye nemivalo ecaleni kwayo. Ngaphambi kokuba uyazi, ufike ngaphakathi kwemizuzu engama-20 yokuphuma kwe-heathrow.
Kuba bendiqhuba nje idolophu yaseLondon kwidolophu yaseLondon nge-6am ixesha lendawo, ndiyakrokrela igumbi lam alilungile xa ndafika. Iqela lam laqalwa ukuba lichanekile, ke ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiqale ukuhlala kwam kunye ne-snack kwi-painta yokutyunjwa kwivenkile yokutyela eBella Italia Padsia.
Kwangoko ndaziva ndikhululekile kwipatio. Ukuba kufuneka ndinyuke kwangethuba namandla asezantsi, le ayisiyondawo imbi yokuba nesidlo sakusasa ndinesidima se-65-deces soul enomculo othambileyo odlala ngasemva. Yayiyikhefu elimnandi kwisandi seinjini zeJet kunye neendlela zokukhala kweemoto zangaphantsi endiye ndaziva iiyure ezisibhozo okanye ezisithoba.
Ipatio ibonelela ngemozulu engaqhelekanga kunegumbi lokutyela kwaye sisikhululo segesi elungileyo - kwaye sinexabiso elifanelekileyo. Amaqanda am (~ $ 7.99), ijusi yeorenji kunye ne-cappuccino (~ $ 3.50) nge-souryought lento endifuna ukwanelisa inkanuko yam emva kohambo lwam.
Olunye ukhetho kwimenyu yesidlo sakusasa zikhumbuza ntoni eLondon, kubandakanya i-classine ye-classitane ifana neembotyi ezibhakiweyo, i-quissints kunye neerhasi ezibhakiweyo. Ukuba uziva ulambile ngakumbi, ungaxuba iziqwenga zenyama ezimbalwa, i-sourdiniugh, amaqanda, kunye neembotyi ezingaphantsi kwe- $ 10 ($ 10.34).
Kwisidlo sangokuhlwa, izitya ze-Italiyane, ukusuka kwipasta ukuya kwi-pizza. Kuba ndandinefestile yesidlo sangokuhlwa phakathi komgangatho obekiweyo kunye nentlanganiso yesondeze, ndagqiba kwelokuba ndibuye kamva xa ndityelele kwimenyu yangokuhlwa.
Rhoqo, ndafumana ukutya newayini engaphezulu kokwanele iimfuno zam, ezazingenakuthelekiswa nanto ephakathi kunye nengca. Nangona kunjalo, iibhola zenyama kunye nezilayi ze-ciabatta ($ 8), i-Focaccia ene-focaccia ($ 15) kunye nekomityi ye-chiantri (malunga ne-9) indlala indlala ilanga.
Nangona kunjalo, isitshixo esinye esiphambili sokugcina engqondweni yinkqubo yokuhlawula. Ngokungafaniyo neehotele ezininzi ezikuvumela ukuba hlawulele i-onsite yokutya kwigumbi lakho, oko kuthetha ukuba unokwandisa ingeniso yakho kwimirhumo yendawo, ngenxa yoko kwafuneka ndihlawule ukutya ngekhadi letyala.
Abasebenzi beDesksi engaphambili baziva bendidiniwe kukundila ngokundibaleka ebusuku kwaye ndaphuma ndaphuma ndaya egumbini lam iiyure ezimbalwa endizixabisayo.
Nangona kukho isinyusi, ndikhetha izinyuko ezivulekileyo kwigumbi lam lesibini, njengoko lidala imeko yasekhaya, njengoko kudala imeko yasekhaya, ngokukhuselekileyo ukukhwela izinyuko kwindlu yam.
Xa usiya egumbini lakho, awunakunceda kodwa uyeke kwaye uvume indawo ekungqongileyo. Ngelixa iindonga zimhlophe nje, uya kufumana i-mural ebambekayo kwisilingi kunye nekhaphethi elirhabaxa ephathekayo.
Ukufika kwam egumbini, ndakhululeka ngokukhawuleza kukuphola kwendawo yomoya. Due to Europe's record heat wave this summer, the last thing I want to experience is a very hot room if I experience an unexpected rise in temperature during my stay.
Njengendawo yendawo yehotele kunye nabahambi abahambahambayo njengam, igumbi lamagumbi lisandul 'ukhumbula abantu abangeneli basePaddishin kunye nemifanekiso ephantsi ixhonywa ezindongeni. Ibhatyiwe ebomvu ebomvu ebomvu, iKhabhinethi i-uphopystery kunye nee-accents ezinamacala, ezi nkcukacha zenza umahluko omkhulu nxamnye neendonga ezimhlophe ezingathathi cala kunye neenkuni zeenkuni.
Ukujonga ukusondela kwehotele ukuya kwiZiko leSixeko, kwakukho igumbi elincinci kwigumbi, kodwa yonke into endiyifunayo ukuze ndihlale kufutshane. Igumbi linomda ovulekileyo ngeendawo ezahlukileyo zokulala, ukusebenza nokuphumla, kunye negumbi lokuhlambela.
Ibhedi yokumkanikazi yayikhululekile kakhulu - kukuba uhlengahlengiso lwam lwexesha elitsha luphazamisa ukulala ngandlel 'ithile. Kukho iitafile ezinamabhedi kwicala lebhedi enendawo yokuhlala emininzi, nangona zifuna i-plug ye-UK yePPUG ukuze isetyenziswe.
Kwakufuneka ndisebenze kolu hambo kwaye ndimangalisiwe yindawo yedesika. Itafile ebonisiweyo phantsi kwe-screen screen tv indinika indawo eyaneleyo yokusebenza nelaptop yam. Ngokuchukumisayo, esi situlo sinenkxaso engaphezulu kakhulu kunokuba unokucinga ngexesha leeyure zomsebenzi ezinde.
Ngenxa yokuba umatshini weNespresso ubekwe kwi-countertop, unokufumana ikomityi yekofu okanye ispresso ngaphandle kokuvuka. Ndiyithanda kakhulu le perk kuba yindawo yokulula egumbini kunye ndinqwenela ukuba iihotele ezininzi zongezwa endaweni yoomatshini beekofu zemveli.
Ukusekunene kwedesika yindawo encinci ene-rack yemithwalo, iinwele ezimbalwa zengubo, igumbi lokuhlambela ezimbalwa, kunye neBhodi yeNgeniso epheleleyo.
Jikela umnyango ngasekhohlo ukuze ubone elinye icala le-fuckt, apho kukho i-mini-fridge enesoda yasimahla, ijusi yeorenji kunye namanzi.
Ibhonasi eyongeziweyo yibhotile encinci ye-vitelli ye-vitelli etafileni. Oku kubaluleke kakhulu kwabo bafuna ukubhiyozela ukufika kwabo eLondon.
Ecaleni kwegumbi eliphambili yi-compact (kodwa ixhotyiswe kakuhle) igumbi lokuhlambela. Njengalo naliphi na igumbi lokuhlambela e-US, le inayo yonke into oyifunayo, kubandakanya ishawa yemvula yemvula, indlu yangasese, kunye nesinki esincinci esenziwe ngesitya.
Njenganye amanye amahotele aphembelela kwizindlu zangasese ezizinzileyo, igumbi lam kwi-Indigo London - iPaddington yayigcinwe ipompoo epheleleyo ye-shampoo, i-pitioner, i-gene ye-hard kunye ne-gene ye-gene. Iimveliso zonyango lwe-bio-smart ulusu lunamathele eludongeni nge-sink kunye neshawari.
Ndiyithanda kakhulu itawuli yethayile egumbini lokuhlambela. Nantsi indlela eyahlukileyo ye-European engakhange ibonwe eMelika.
Ngelixa ndithanda kakhulu ezinye iinkalo zehotele, enye yeentandokazi zam yibha lehotele kunye nendawo yokuphumla. Ngelixa inqaku letekhnoloji ye-Indigo London - Ihotele yasePaddington, inokufikelelwa ngaphandle kokuba ingaphandle.
Ibekwe kwipaseji emfutshane emva kokwamkelwa, indawo yokuhlala yindawo entle yeendwendwe yele hotele okanye i-MECCIRE ye-London yeLondon ye-London How eyonwabele isiselo njengoko iqhagamshelwe kuzo zombini.
Kanye ngaphakathi, kulula ukuphumla. Isimo esiphefumlelweyo segumbi eliphefumlelweyo ibonelela ngeendlela ezininzi zokuthambeka, kubandakanya nezitulo eziphakamileyo kwimibala eqaqambileyo kunye neendwangu zendwangu zeZilwanyana, izitulo zentsimbi zentsimbi kunye nezitulo ze-Suffered SEERSOSOSOST. Ukuthatyathwa kobumnyama kunye nezibane ezincinci ezinokulinganisa isibhakabhaka ebusuku kwenza i-moya epholileyo neyimpazamo.
Emva kosuku olude emsebenzini, le ndawo ingqina ukuba yindawo enobulungisa eyi-GORT yokutyhola ngeglasi ye-berlot (~ I- $ 7.50) ngaphandle kokuphambukela kude kakhulu kwigumbi lam.
Ngaphandle kokuba yindawo efanelekileyo yokuhamba kwabahambi abafuna ukuya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, bendiya kubuyela kwindawo yePaddington ngenxa yexabiso lakhe elifikelelekayo kunye nokufikelela ngokulula kuwo wonke umtsalane weLondon.
Ukusuka apho unokuhamba uye phantsi uye kwi-shushu kwaye uthathe indlela engaphantsi. Umgca weBarboo uya kukuthatha i-5 yeendawo zokumisa kwi-Oxford Circus kunye neendawo ezintandathu zokumisa kwi-piccadilly isekisi. Zombini iindawo zokuma zimalunga nemizuzu eli-10.
Ukuba uthenga usuku lohambo lweLondon Pass, uhamba neendawo ezimbalwa kwindawo ephantsi komhlaba, ungafikelela kwi-london engaphantsi ngokulula njengokubhadula izitrato ihotele yakho ekutyeni indawo yokutya. Enye indlela? Ungahamba ngemizuzu eli-10 ezantsi kwi-bar ecaleni kwehotele oyifumana kwi-intanethi (kwaye zininzi), okanye ungathatha iMetro ukuya kwiZiko leSixeko ngexesha elinye.
Kuxhomekeka kwindawo ofuna ukuya kuyo, inokuba ngokukhawuleza kwaye kulula ukuyithatha i-Elizabeth Light, ebizwa ngokuba yiKumkanikazi yaseLizabeth II.
Ngexesha lokuhamba kwam emfutshane, kwakulula kum ukubamba intlanganiso yesoom egumbini lam (kwaye i-pace itshintshe kakhulu) kwaye emva koko ithathe ityhubhu kwenye indawo yeSixeko (njenge-Oxford Circus) ukuyigqiba. Umsebenzi omninzi, thetha ukuvula ivenkile yekofu kwiSitalato seCozy Holl ngaphandle kokuchitha ixesha elininzi kwi-jams yetrafikhi.
Ndaze ndayifumana ilula ukubamba i-Tube yesithili se-tube ngaphandle kwe-southshonids (ethe tyaba i-15 yokukhwela i-onland Ndaze ndayifumana ilula ukubamba i-Tube yesithili se-tube ngaphandle kwe-southshonids (ethe tyaba i-15 yokukhwela i-onlandNdide ndafumanisa ukuba kulula ukuthatha umgca wesithili ukuya kwi-South Swields (imalunga nemizuzu eli-15) ukuwela uluhlu lwam lwe-Internes Tenten kunye ne-CORLEX ye-temples, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-wimblen.Kwakulula kakhulu ukuba ndithathe umgca wengingqi ukuya kwi-South-South Andfield (malunga ne-15 imizuzu yokuqhuba) ukuwela uluhlu lwe-tenlis yam: utyelelo lwe-England Lawn Tennis kunye neKlabhu ye-ntambo, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-wimblenes. Ukuthoba kolu hambo kububungqina obungaphezulu bokuba ukuhlala kwi-paddington kunokuba lukhetho olululo lokuzonwabisa kunye nokuhamba.
Njengakwiihotele ezininzi, amaxabiso kwi-Indigo London Paddington ikakhulu kuxhomekeke xa uhlala kwaye ufuna ntoni ngobo busuku. Nangona kunjalo, ujonge kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezizayo, ndihlala ndibona amaxabiso ahamba ngeenxa zonke nge- £ 270 ($ 300) yegumbi elisezantsi. Umzekelo, igumbi lokungena lenqanaba lixabisa i- £ 278 ($ 322) ngosuku lweveki ngo-Okthobha.
Ungahlawula ngeenxa zonke kwi- $ 35 ($ 40) ngaphezulu kwegumbi eliphezulu le-tier ", nangona indawo ayichazi into onokuthi uyifumane nantoni na engeyiyo enye into engeyiyo enye ngaphandle kwe" indawo eyongezelelweyo kunye nentuthuzelo. "
Nokuba ithathe ngaphezulu kwe-60,000 yemivuzo ibonisa ukuba ibanga ngobo busuku, ndakwazi ukubhukisha igumbi elisezantsi lamanqaku angama-49,000 ngobusuku obu-54,000 ngobusuku besibini.
Ukujonga eli nqanaba lentengiso lijikeleze i- £ 230 ($ 255) ngobusuku ngokuqikelela uqikelelo lwe-TPG, ndiqinisekile ukuba ndifumana into eninzi yegumbi lam, ndijonga ngokukodwa xa ndihlala ndihlala.
