Suit jogging in HydePark, London, UK

Missing London tube

Once again, I got good learning what can happen, if you are not ready enough. I managed to mess up again. First of all, when I go somewhere, I am normally optimized my movements so well, that there are not time for big mistakes. I had hotel Hilton HydePark. Well, during that times when I was later spending time every month in London, I remembered Hilton hotel near HydePark... has to be that, so why take map with me or aything other. After getting down from the air, you just take Heathrow Express train to Paddington, buy a 24 hour ticket to zones 1 and 2 (not even very expensive, but extremely usefull) and start going on....

Well, this is what I did and I managed to surf by using the tube lines to HydePark metrostation. I take off and climbed to surface, saw my Hilton about 500 meters way, so I wanted to walk there with my luggages of course.... I walked to reception when I noticed, that this damn hotel is defently Hilton HydePark, but Hilton Metropolitan... so so..... asking help and they said, that you have about 2-3 km walk or you can take a tube... I selected tube and walked to near station, which was pretty much in the middle of that 2-3 km walk.... to found out that it was closed.... So you can imagine when I was struggling with my luggages and nice small shoes and sweating badly, how happy I was....

Eventually I managed to get to the Hotel and thank god I got shower immediately, because my miserable life could be even more terrible if I would not get the room immediately!!!

Well.... my point of view, the Hilton HydePark was small and pretty cosy hotel, even for some reason the service in reception was more or less not very professional....or at least not in the same level than I have used to when I visit in Hilton hotels... the reception was slow, arrogant, asking stupid questions several times as well as when i asked something, they answered to me, like they would speak to moron (well.... maybe they did, but I should be customer). I was waiting first about 15 minutes when the lady there was speaking to the phone by directing step by step some other to hotel, other girl was doing something and when I took eye contact, she disappeared. Then I got the service and room eventually... Hotel position in in the very intereting tube line, so you need change almost immediately during next stations if you even want to somewhere...

well.... no matter what was the name of metrostation, there are 123 steps to up or down (Queens....something)
