The Zetter Hotel London

So, I just took a job with Thomson Reuters at their Monmouth House office, near the Old Street tube stop. It's cool because it's in EC1, which is of course extremely central. There's plenty of cool little bars and restaurants all over the place, and it's not TOO pretentious.

Randomly, I once stayed at this hotel called "The Zetter", and I was pleasantly surprised at how modern it is. Think of it as the W hotel if the W a single, private hotel, and didn't try to be a night club. It's super modern, and has a great restaurant in it. The rooms are sorta small, but not terrible for London, and the showers are really cool.

One night, I came home from seeing a friend, and I saw the cute Hungarian girl who's often working the desk in the main lobby. She was going outside for a cigarette, and had clearly had a few drinks. Apparently, that night was one of the worker's birthday, and there was a big party in their reception room downstairs. We chatted for a bit, and eventually, the whole party was outside and going to a bar. So they adopted me and I ended up drinking and singing karaoke with half the hotel staff.

Now I'm a regular at the hotel. It's a bit pricy during the week, and cheaper on the weekends. The lowest I've paid is about 99 GBP, and the most is about 224 GBP. It's not the most amazing place I've ever stayed at, but certainly one of my favorites.
