Great hotel in the UK to listen - Ryder House, St. Albans UK

Post by anonymous2 »

Dear Yeppie,

Strange you would ask. I have stayed on business in a town in the UK called St Albans, just north of London. The Ryder House (famous due to named for the Ryder Cup originator) is perfect for listening to others on any given Friday or Saturday night. Many locals or holiday makers stay at the hotel for a "night away from it all". The small cities night life adds a great deal to the lowered weekend inhibitions of the tenants.

The reasons that make the Ryder house key is as follows:
- Holidayers town
- 1 inch gaps under all doors
- All rooms ajoin the next via inner door
- super thin walls

I have had a multitude of excellent listening opportunities and recommend. I make a special point to stay hear if business travel takes me to London.
- ENJOY!! :D

well well well... I'm gigging in St Albans next month.
I think its on a saturday too... SCORE!
Now all i've gotta do is persuade someone to drop my gear back to London without me.
I'll get my thinking cap on for the excuse to stay alone, and my recorder ready after that :twisted:
Great tip!

Hi Scott-uk,

The Ryder house is reasonably priced and is a Comfort Inn I believe, but you should be able to google it to find the contact information.

I recommend a room in the middle of the lowest level. Let me know how your trip goes! I'll be interested to know!
Cheers
