šķiet, ka mēs caur pirmo web lapu bookojām, bet zinu, ka boking.com arī labi strādā, caur to esmu rezervējusi viesnīcas. tas tiem, kam varbūt kādreiz nākotnē noderēs šie saiti.
Mitinājāmies London Holland Park Hostel
http://www.yha.org.uk/find-accommodation/london/hostels/london-holland-park/index.aspx
Izvēlējāmies šo principā balstoties uz atsauksmēm, cenas, vietas. Bija arī piedāvājumā lētāki ar labāku atrašanās vietu hosteļi, bet palasot par kukaiņiem un netīriem palagiem...
Šī bija mana pirmā hosteļa pieredze, bet noteikti varu ieteikt, biju apmierināta, pat ērtāka gulta kā man Prestonā :D vienīgais atrašanās vieta ir pagrūti atrodama no Metro stacijas un, ja izkāpj Holland Park stacijā tas ir diezgan sviestīgi gara nokļūšana, naktī arī bīstama, bet no Nothing Hill Gate noteikti daudz ātrāka un drošāka (ko mēs protams atklājām pēdējā dienā tikai).
Cenas svārstās no £12 - ...; jo ātrāk norezervē, jo lētāk, protams. Mes norezervējām 3 dienas pirms braukšanas, piektdienas,sestdienas nakts (kas ir dārgākais periods) kopā sanāca £35.
Jautrākais, protams notika, kad ieradāmies Londonā 20:00 Victoria Bus Station un mums izrādās nebija kartes, nekā un kā mēs meklējām to hosteli :D
Par transportu - vislētakais un ātrākais ir nopirkt diennakts metro+autobusa biļeti, ap £6, dienas laikā izmantot metro, naktī autobusu. Ja nu kādam kādreiz vajag vairāk info, droši, neiedziļināšos pārāk tagad.
Brauciens visnotaļ jautrs un izdevies, pirmajā vakarā jau hostelī sapazināmies ar Amerikānietēm, otro dienu veltījām Portobello Market, Camden Town (kas ir mana mīļāka Londonas vieta) un citām apskates vietām. Protams, bija jāiemēģina Londonas naktsdzīve. Silti iesaku nedoties uz Picadilly un Soho rajoniem, kā mēs to izdarījām, cenas ir katastrofālas. Ieeja ap £20 visur, dzērieni sākot no £8.
Tad nu bildes (šoreiz bez Bigbeniem un tiltiem un visa tradicionālā, kas jau redzēts simtiem reižu).
So in one sunny and nice day decided with my coursemate to visit London. of course, as always in the end we were only two, but definitely not boring at all! My first experience with hostels, here is some web pages where to book hostel if u someday will need:
http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels
http://www.hostelworld.com
http://www.booking.com
http://www.yha.org.uk
if i remember, we booked through first web page, but i know that booking.com also is great, as i have booked hotels through it.
We stayed at London Holland Park Hostel
http://www.yha.org.uk/find-accommodation/london/hostels/london-holland-park/index.aspx
Chose this place based on customer feedback, price and location. There were also cheaper options with better location, but as we read customer reviews about insects and dirty bedding...
This was my first experience with hostels, but definitely I can say that I was satisfied and even bed was more comfortable than mine in Preston :D The only minus was location as it is not so easy to find this hostel from tube station. From Holland Park station the way is bit dangerous at night and long. Nothing Hill Gate station is defo better and safer (if we would know this later :D )
Prices starts from £12. If you book in advance it is cheaper of course. We booked only 3 days before trip and as it were friday and saturday night price together was £35.
The funiest part was when we arrived at London Victoria Bus Station at 8pm and
we didn`t have any maps, so how we got to hostel :D
About the transport - the fastest and cheapest way is to buy 24/7 underground+bus ticket, together about £6. At day time I suggest to choose tube and at night bus, as tube is only till 1am. In the case if someone need more info, just write me.
This little trip was so fun, at first evening we met American girls at the hostel, the second day was mostly sightseeing, where we spend most of the time at Portobello Market and my favourite Camden Town. Also nightlife, only if u don`t want to spend a lot of money don`t choose Picadilly and Soho areas, as prices for entrence are about £20 and cheapest drinks about £8.
And finally photos (this time without typical London places as Big Ben etc. as you all probably have seen them a lot).
The way to hostel. somwhere near Holland park. so tired :D
With americans and one thai lady.
