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.

They are doing spot checks on guys later on at night to check they are guests or not and will call to your room to check you are expecting.

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.

Interesting that there might be guys already in the hotel .. though it's not a gay hotel is it so can't leave door open?

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.

There last night. Successful night in terms of visitors. Bit of a lull between 9-11 as I normally find on grindr.

However my last two tops got stopped at reception and had to get me to call down to confirm they were expected. Was fine as I was waiting ass up but if I was busy they'd be left hanging.

Not sure if was the time ie  1-2am or the fact they were roadman types.

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.

hi all, st giles is my normal venue of choice but for my next session price seems to have jumped vs what i normally pay. 

To the extent that the royal national (near Russell Sq)  - that i have heard good things about but never experienced is around 2/3 the price of st giles  

Anyone give any pointers on Royal National? specifically whether easy access to rooms all night? If not i may just have to stump up the extra for St Giles

or indeed anywhere else central

thanks for any pointers

clara.

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.

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.

has anyone started up again as hotel cumdumps? I'm wondering if any of the hotels have used the lockdown to upgrade and install key-card devices to stop breeders getting to rooms undisturbed.

I might try st giles again in 2/3 weeks but if anyone is in the know an update to the thread about the regular hotels used would be appreciated by all i think.

 

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.

There's a 4* Best Western "Palm" on the A41 Hendon Way, which I drive past on my way there from the North Circular Road which looks to be walking distance if you don't mind a fifteen minute 0.8 mile walk. Closer than the Premier Inn. There's plenty of Ubers.   I haven't stayed there myself as I usually drive to the heath from home. 

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!

I’ve been looking for the same for a number of years and found nothing. Seems to be an area of London with no hotels. Only place I’ve found within 20 minutes walk is the Premier Inn Hampstead which is actually in Belsize Park. It’s an old rather basic Premier Inn and can be very expensive for what you get.  Apart from there you are looking at various hotels in the Swiss Cottage area which is a long walk.

Could be difficult in some hotels for anon at the moment. Lots of different Covid safety measures and extra security in place. Sorry to hear that Holiday Inn Express Nine Elms Vauxhall is currently closed.

Did the holiday inn express have a shower hose (Aka something I can put my douche nozzle on)??

 

i recall the last one I visited had a fixed shower head....

Completely detachable shower head and fairly long shower hose at Holiday Inn Express Nine Elms Vauxhall.

Holiday Inn express in Vauxhall (Lambeth) was perfect. Right next to a few gay saunas and close to the centre without breaking the bank 😉

Stayed here last month and quite impressed. Nice hotel for the price. No keycard needed for lifts or to access each floor level so easy access to rooms. Easy to just walk in and up to room until about midnight when keycard is needed for main door.

Has potential, but I had no luck here using Grindr. Will stay here and try again some time. However, 2 good nights being fucked over a tree at Clapham Common in the early hours. 24 hour bus to Clapham Common from just outside the hotel door.

has anyone any experiences of other good Holiday Inn Express Hotels in the UK.

Which Holiday Inn Express was this?  I’ve heard the one at Nine Elms near Vauxhall in London is quite good for anon. I’m booked into the Travelodge in Balham next month at a flexible rate and so could easily change hotel.
