I had one of those rooms with the separate sitting rooms a few years ago when they were called city rooms. The last few times I’ve stayed at St Giles I have paid a higher price and had an executive room. These are quite large but all one big space and have always had a working safe. No one has replied to the question of whether President Hotel near Russell Square is still good with way keycard free access.
-
There are safes in the more expensive rooms at St Giles but I don’t think they are available in the very small basic rooms. I’ve found Grindr works well at St Giles between 4-7pm when people are passing by on their way home from work. Also sometimes works during the night to contact other guys actually staying in the hotel.

A few years ago, before St Giles became so popular, some of the hotels the Russell Square area were regularly used by cumdumps. The President was very popular and I think there were others around there perhaps The Royal National. Has anyone used any of these recently.

I’m now 63 and getting far more action than I did a few years ago. When I reached my 40’s and even more so during my 50’s visits to saunas etc were often a waste of time. The well known dating apps were even less productive. These last few years since I reached 60 things seem to be changing. As a slightly chubby, but not seriously overweight bottom with a reasonably big ass, I’m getting more and more attention from younger guys. On the dating apps I now describe myself as an older more mature bottom and this seems to attract those younger guys who prefer older. When staying in a hotel in somewhere like London and even more so Birmingham or Manchester there seem to be quite a few young Asian and black guys who are looking for older white bottoms to fuck.

Going back in time to the days before websites like this, and even more so apps on phones, most of my meet ups with other men for sex were at outdoor cruising locations and occasional sauna visits. Over the last 20 years outdoor cruising has declined in a big way and most of the saunas even in large cities like London have closed. When I was last in London I visited Hampstead Heath on a warm dry evening and there was hardly anyone there and no crowds like there were 20 years ago. Im recent years when I have been visiting a large city in the U.K. I have used websites like this one, BBRT and Squirt to research and plan meets. Usually the meet has ended up being in my hotel room using apps like Grindr. If there is to be a block in the UK on using many of these online sites it will become much harder to plan and get meets in hotels. Does anyone know if apps like Grindr are also going to come under the rules of this block? Perhaps there will be a big revival in outdoor cruising and sauna visits as that could once again be the only way some of us could easily meet.

Bloomsbury 31 January - President Hotel
Jasenotts replied to loughboroughlad2's topic in London Metro Area
Please let us know how you get on. The President Hotel used to be recommended quite often in older threads even before St Giles became so popular. -
To return to the original question in this thread. Can anyone recommend any other fairly central London Hotels, other than St. Giles, which have easy access to rooms without keycard lifts etc. There’s a long old thread in this forum where a number of hotels were mentioned. Nothing has been posted in that thread since last April and the most recent postings only mention St. Giles. Earlier postings mentioned a number of other hotels but these were 5 years+ ago and could be well out of date by now. If things are getting a bit problematic at St Giles it would be useful to know of other possible locations.
-
Is that the Holiday not far from New Street Station? That’s worth knowing about as I’ve not tried that hotel. I stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Birmingham a couple of years ago and there was easy access to the rooms there.
-
I completely agree but for anyone who has never been to Hampstead Heath I would recommend having a walk around in the daytime before going after dark. It’s a huge wooded area with paths everywhere and very easy to get lost in the dark if you don’t have some idea where you are heading.
-
When I was there for a few nights midweek a couple of months ago it was between 5 and 7 that I got most action. I wasn’t adverting myself as a cumdump but just on Grindr as a bottom. It was mostly guys passing by on their way home from work who wanted an anon bottom in darkened room to visit on their way home from work. I think most probably did this regularly and knew how to confidently walk in to the lifts and straight up to the rooms. Later in the evening and during the night I got nothing as I think the cumdumps were the main attraction.

The N5 night bus runs every 30 minutes through the night. You can get this bus at Hampstead Heath on North End Road right near the entrance to the cruising area. The first one is at about 10 minutes after midnight and they run every night of the week. The N5 then stops on Tottenham Court Road almost outside St Giles Hotel.
-
Is this very recent? I was at St Giles 4 weeks ago and I had someone come to me at around 2am on a midweek night. He had no problems getting in. Perhaps it’s just occasional very random spot checks.
-
It’s a huge hotel, with a big turnover of visitors, and during the 3 times I’ve stayed there I have found others on Grindr who are also in the hotel. It’s quite close to the gay venues of Soho so there’s usually gay guys staying there. Make contact on Grindr, give them your room number, put something like a sock in the door to keep it slightly open, then be ready arse up on the bed. It’s as easy as that. It doesn’t work every night, but I’ve managed it during the night a few times. Last time it was at about 3am.
-
I always wondered whether visitors may be questioned here in the middle of the night. I’ve never had anyone come to my room from outside after midnight as I’ve usually found someone else staying at the hotel in the middle of the night. I can’t see it being a problem at the weekends as on Friday and Saturday nights St Giles is so busy with people coming in and out at all hours. Perhaps the fact that it may have been very quiet at that time midweek and the fact that they looked like workmen.
-
I was last there in January. I found that there seemed to be a few tops around the area who obviously were regulars and knew the score. When I was on Grindr they indicated they were close by and asked for my room number. They were straight in and up to my room very quickly with no problems.
-
According to some Tripadvisor reviews a key card is required for the lifts at Royal National and also there are security staff on the door late night. I’ve never stayed there so don’t know if that’s all correct. I know what you mean about St Giles prices they have been very high this year. The last time I got a reasonable priced decent sized room there was in January. I refuse to pay the high prices for those those awful tiny unrefurbished standard rooms. Perhaps some people could begin to recommend a few places again in London as some of the previous information about hotels is quite out of date. I had heard that Central Park Hotel near Queensway Hyde Park can be good but I’ve not tried it yet as prices there have also been this year.

Has anyone been to Trades Hotel recently? I haven’t been since July 2014. From around the year 2000 until 2014, I stayed there for a week every summer and occasional weekends in winter. I stopped going because it became so run down and the last couple of rooms I had were absolutely filthy. Over the years I had some fantastic times there. I know that you don’t expect luxury at a place like Trades and don’t go there to admire the decor. However, even for someone who can be a dirty slut, I do have some standards of hygiene. On my last stay not even the bed was clean. I’d love to go again to spend nights lying arse up on the bed, never knowing who might come in and use my hole. Unless I hear that they have done at least a bit of basic cleaning I’m not going again.

I've stayed at Vauxhall Travelodge a few times and as others have reported you cannot get through the door to the rooms on each floor without a key card. I've had some very good meets there through Grindr especially late afternoon with guys passing by on way home from work. Unfortunately you can't do anon but have to meet the person outside and take them up to your room. It's a good place to bring people in to your room during the night as you don't have to pass reception to reach the lift.
-
I stayed at the Crowne Plaza a couple of weeks ago and no key card needed there. I didn’t have anyone come straight to my room whilst there but there would have been no problem. The 2 guys I met up with both wanted me to meet them outside.

Does anyone use St Giles hotel apart from cumdumps??
Jasenotts replied to bluedragon's topic in London Metro Area
I’ve never intentionally stayed at St. Giles as a cumdump but during the 2 stays I have done there in the last 6 months I’ve found it a good hotel to get fucked during the night by other guys staying there. Most nights I was staying there I found someone else in the hotel on Grindr who came to my room and fucked me. Last time I was there on my final night this was at about 3am. -
The Northern Line tube only runs till just after midnight but the N5 bus runs all night. It used to run every 10 minutes a few years ago but is only every 30 minutes these days. Stops quite near Jack Straws Castle on North End Road.
-
Stayed at St. Giles Hotel a few weeks ago and certainly no problem accessing the rooms during the day and evening. Very busy and you can just walk straight in and up in the lift. Anyone know what it’s like after midnight and through the night. Is it 24 hours easy access for visitors to rooms as so many hotels have doors locked and security staff after midnight.

I first went to Hampstead Heath about 20 years ago and really enjoyed it back then. Good atmosphere, very busy, nice guys and quite friendly. I’ve not been since Covid lockdowns but in recent years I’ve not enjoyed it as much. Certainly it’s not been as busy and there always seems to be a small group of desperate bottoms who remain bent over the fuck tree all night. I never feel as though I want to join them. I also agree about an increase in drugged up guys there. Also when I have been the mosquitos bite me terrible especially if I have spent some time bent over a tree. The last few times I’ve been in London, again before lockdown, I found Clapham Common more productive. It’s certainly lighter and you can see your way around better. Not so busy but I did think a better class of men. I’ve had my best times there on quiet nights after midnight when I’ve had some nice younger guys with huge cocks fuck me undisturbed by others.
-
I don’t think it’s installing key card devices that’s currently the problem but more Covid precautions. Lots of hotels have additional security at the door connected with track and trace etc. Due to restrictions of people from different households mixing they have been monitoring more carefully who is entering the building and not allowing people in who are not registered as staying there. Hopefully these restrictions are already being relaxed.

Last couple of times I’ve stayed at the Hendon Hyde Premier Inn. Quite a distance but the N5 night bus from Jack Straws Castle stops right outside. It’s quite a nice Premier Inn and usually has very cheap prices for London. Another advantage is as the reception is on the 1st Floor you can come straight in from the bus and into the lift up to your room without having to walk past staff. Useful if it’s 3am and you have muddy boots!
