Curio hotels7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Our friends were in a King Delux on the 4th floor in probably a smaller main room than ours, but a much bigger bathroom opposite the end of the bed. There was also not much space at the side of the bed and a very odd chair, stool, and round table at end of the bed, which was rather in the way – in our room we could at least move it under the large TV. Our 2nd-floor room was small! A small fixed window looked across a narrow side street to the office block above McD’s. I checked the digital key request, but this remained “still waiting” for the whole stay. Returning at 4.30pm, our rooms were ready and keys issued OK. There is a wonderful mural behind the reception desk celebrating “lost” items and a slightly disconcerting “lost soul” against a back wall. I thought I would request a digital key, as this may have told us when the room was actually ready. There was no advance notice of this when I checked online earlier. They are still getting used to the front desk system, but the staff were helpful, and, although the room was not ready yet, a one-category upgrade to King Superior was promised (also reflected in the HH App) as we’re Diamond. We arrived at the hotel to check in at 12pm. The building has the original front exterior but stretches away from the main road to the newly built part. It has a “Tattle” premium coffee shop linked to it along the front, which looked very good. ![]() The location is right towards the front of St Paul’s on Ludgate Hill (next to McDonald’s), around 100m away from St Paul’s Cathedral. The wildflowers of the Tower Moat, which must have been wonderful, were looking rather dried out now. We had a night in London this week to visit the new Gunpowder Plot “immersive” attraction by the Tower of London (actually very good – a mix of live actors and VR), as well as a “brother’s tour” of The Charterhouse.
