" COME TO BRITAIN "

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—May I endorse your remarks on the necessity of central heating and running water in English hotels ? I travel widely, and always look forward with dread to my arrival at Victoria. One is shown up to an icy room with—if ordered—a smoulder- ing fire utterly inadequate to warm the atmosphere. And for this very uncomfortable accommodation a price is de manded that would keep one for twenty-four hours in luxury in a foreign hotel.

Let the English hoteliers study a little more the comfort of their guests, let their attitude to arrivals be less casual, other- wise I fear they will fail to attract visitors who like to get value for their money.—I am, Sir, &c.,

AN OLD TRAVELLER?
