Isabel de la Granja
Club Quarters, Gracechurch Hotel
I was pleasantly surprised at this hotel. Accustomed to seedy hotels at luxury prices in central London, we found a modern, comfortable, spacious, clean room (with a large lcd tv, air conditioning / heating) at a price that does not mean you have to pawn a kidney. In addition, the area is great: you are 5 minutes from Monument tube station, just before the great column that commemorates the fire that devastated the City in the seventeenth century. There are plenty of amenities nearby: very nice restaurants (one Japanese), Leaden Hall Market with gift shops and pubs (all closed for Easter), a M & S, Boots for medicine and perfume and Santander bank.
Within 10 minutes you are on the river and another 10 you are at London Tower and London Bridge. Down from the hotel to the right is Saint Paul's Cathedral. I recommend it for couples, single travelers and friends in small groups.
