Rabat. I regret I did not have more time to spend in Rabat. The city is the capital of Morocco, and offers the visitor an inside into the probably most westernised part of the country. There are also quite a few things to do, from a mere tourist point of view. We only visited the Royal Palace, which is where the King actually lives, we were told.

There is a local brand of pre-cooked couscous we found very good value for its money, and not too far from the real thing!

Room 502 is just a few steps away from the lift, and is forwards facing so you can see straight out into Southwark Street. It is a two-person room with a decent ...
I stayed at the Mercure in December 2005. It was a bit of last minute booking - booked it on the Friday and then travelled on the Monday. Due to this it was the literally the only place in central London available for the week and prior to this I had never even heard of the hotel!
Location - It is literally just behind the Tate Modern and Millenium Bridge. It is about 10mins walk from the hotel to the nearest tube at London Bridge so it is relatively easy to get about.
Rooms - Rooms are basic. Similar to staying in an Ibis or Travellodge. They do have everything you need though - TV, tea and coffee facilities etc. And they seemed clean.

Price - It was between £60 ...
