Hello,
As you can see on Ecrew, 2 new hotels have appeared on the rotations.
I am writing to inform you of these changes today. I would have liked to inform you before the May bid closure, however, the contracts were not yet finalized.
LONDON\LGW
Kingston Upon Thames Doubletree will be the new hotel. I received confirmation on Thursday that the contract has finally been signed. This quality hotel built in 2016 meets all our requirements, and during our discussions, it was agreed that the hotelier will add refrigerators in the rooms that we will use.
Kingston Upon Thames is a charming and safe small town in Zone 6 of London where you will find all necessary services. Access to central London is by train in 30 minutes to Waterloo station, and frequencies are frequent. There is also a 24-hour city bus service.
The hotel is located 40 minutes from the airport without traffic. During peak hours, it will take a little longer. My experience during the visit was 46 minutes to get there and 55 minutes on the return. If we look at the routes on Google maps, it takes between 40 minutes (outside of traffic) and 1 hour 15 minutes (in the worst traffic scenarios during rush hour).
Train/bus daily passes will be reimbursed by the company, and breakfast is included according to the agreement with the company.
BCN
To quote the company… the new hotel in Barcelona will be the INNSiDE Apolo by Melia, 99% certain.
This comfortable and newly renovated urban hotel is located in the city center on Paral-Lèl. There is no pool, but the beach is accessible by public transport or on foot. There is a refrigerator in the room, and everything is within walking distance. Details will be finalized in Crewcare shortly.
I wish you all a lovely summer season,
Philippe Jutras
