【倫敦住宿推薦】倫敦St Ermin’s Hotel:價格合理的英式風格豪華酒店
去年(2012年)的巴黎 + 倫敦之旅的第二站是英國倫敦,與巴黎一樣我們在倫敦也會住宿四晚,這四晚的倫敦住宿我們選擇了一間位於白金漢宮附近的四星級酒店St Ermin’s Hotel – MGallery Collection,這間酒店現在稱為St Ermin’s Hotel – Autograph Collection A Marriott Luxury & Lifestyle Hotel,是一間很有英式大宅風格的豪華酒店,是很好的倫敦住宿推薦。


酒店名稱:St Ermin’s Hotel – MGallery Collection (現稱St Ermin’s Hotel – Autograph Collection A Marriott Luxury & Lifestyle Hotel)
入住日期:2012年10月
住宿天數:四晚
房間類型:Double Room
住宿費用:635英鎊,平均159英鎊/晚
訂房渠道:booking.com
酒店網址:https://www.sterminshotel.co.uk/
與巴黎一樣,倫敦酒店的價錢也不便宜,一般質素較好又位處市中心的3星級酒店,一晚房價都在港幣千五元以上。這次選擇入住這間4星級的St Ermin’s Hotel的原因,除了被酒店的英式建築外型與富麗堂皇的室內裝修所吸引之外,更主要的是由於訂房期間酒店正在推出六五折的特價優惠,折扣之後的價格與其他3星級酒店的價格相差不遠。
倫敦住宿推薦:「倫敦St Ermin’s Hotel」住宿評價
一、St Ermin’s Hotel的位置
St Ermin’s Hotel座落在倫敦的西敏區(Westiminster),位於白金漢宮與西敏寺之間,由酒店步行前往西敏寺只需5分鐘,前往Westiminster Bridge、白金漢宮和維多利亞車站等景點都只是需要大約10分鐘時間,對於遊覽西敏區一帶的旅遊景點相當方便就腳。
不過由於這一區比較高尚,所以區內過於寧靜,欠缺熱鬧繁華的氣息。酒店附近的店舖很少,如果想用餐或購物,最近也要步行800米到維多利亞車站附近較熱鬧的地方。但如果只是購買一些零食或飲料,在距離酒店100左右的地方也有便利店。另外酒店附近亦有一些小型食店,提供英式早餐,附近亦有一個小型市集。

酒店門外的街道。


酒店的旁邊是新英格蘭場(下圖對正的大廈),亦即是警察總部,再加上這一區是皇宮與國會重地,所以治安一定沒有問題。

酒店附近的Victoria Street,沿馬路向西走是維多利亞車站,向東就是西敏寺、國會大樓、Westiminster Bridge等著名景點。

二、St Ermin’s Hotel的交通
St Ermin’s Hotel的旁邊是倫敦地鐵的聖詹姆士公園(St James’s Park)站,所以交通尚算方便,從地鐵站步行至酒店只需2分鐘左右。不過聖詹姆士公園站並非主要車站,連接車站的地鐵線只有Circle line和District line,所以乘坐地鐵前往其他地方時,一般都需要轉車。
另外,聖詹姆士公園站是倫敦其中一個最古老的地鐵車站之一,所以車站沒有升降機或者扶手電梯,如果拖著大件行李上落月台會較為吃力,好在車站月台離地面不深,但最少也有30多級樓梯。

三、St Ermin’s Hotel的設施與環境
St Ermin’s Hotel正面外觀。

酒店大堂採用純白色設計,大堂地方不算很大,但有一種貴族府第的氣派。




















酒店地下設有餐廳,不過由於我們的住宿不包早餐,又沒有在餐廳用餐,所以沒有拍照。
St Ermin’s Hotel雖然只有六層高,但由於佔地較廣,全間酒店擁有超過300間客房,以下是客房層的走廊。








四、St Ermin’s Hotel的房間
我們入住的是最普通的double room,房間大約有20平方米,雖然算不上大,但空間應覺不錯。房間的裝潢頗豪華,而且裝修仍然頗新。房內除入門口的玄關位與浴室採用雲可地板之外,其餘地方舖上地毯,而且感覺很乾淨。

睡床採用英國品牌床褥,睡起來很舒服。

房內的電源插座有各種款式,可適用於不同地方不同型狀的插頭使用,無須使用轉換器。


其他房內設施。




美中不足的是我們的房間對出是一條後巷,沒有任何風景。




窗外的針狀物體可能是防盜設施。


衣櫃、雪櫃和飲水設施放置在入口位置,衣櫃的空間不大。












浴室地方頗寬敞。








以下兩張照片是兩張大床的豪華雙床房,房間和浴室的面積都比我們入住的double room大。因為酒店安排房間時出錯,起初給了我們這間房,之後在我們堅持下才換回我們原本預訂的房間。




五、St Ermin’s Hotel的無線上網
酒店有為住客提供在公共地方的免費wifi服務,如果要使用需要向大堂接待處的職員索取免費wifi帳戶,一個帳戶只可以用於一部上網設備,如果有多部可以索取多個帳戶。免費wifi帳戶有固定的使用時限,通常職員只會提供1小時有效的帳戶,但有時亦會提供24小時有效的帳戶,帳戶過期後可再次索取。
雖然免費wifi帳戶只提供在大堂等公共地方使用,但由於酒店內的wifi信號較強,所以在客房內也可以使用得到。

六、倫敦St Ermin’s Hotel住宿總結
