Share details of a lovely place you’ve stayed to break your rail journey – the best tip wins a Coolstays break

An affordable hotel close to a railway hub can be just the ticket for a city break, or a convenient base for a fleeting exploration before embarking on the next leg of a rail adventure. For example, London has the Wesley hotel, a 15-minute walk from St Pancras station’s Eurostar terminal; Paris has the Terminus Nord hotel, opposite the Gare du Nord; and Brussels has the Urban Yard, a boutique hotel five minutes’ walk from the Gare du Midi. We’d like to hear about your best layover discoveries while hitting the rails in Europe.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
