Advantages: It's quiet Disadvantages: It's on life support and needs a shot of adrenaline
. I found the other restaurant at the far end of the hotel and had an uninspired and overpriced meal in which two courses and a diet coke put me dangerously close to my expenses limit without really filling me up. I've never bothered to try breakfast because, after the debacle with the other non-restaurant, I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to find it.
The hotel apparently has other facilities like a pool and conference rooms and a walkway that links it to the exhibition centre nearby but I've not used any of these. It also offers over-priced internet access thats quite resistable.
In summary, there's nothing wrong with this hotel but there are so many other hotels in Bremen that it really needs to try harder if it's going to ever fill its rooms. The company I visit in the city tends only to book the Maritim if ...
Advantages: a city with a small town feeling Disadvantages: didn't find any
Last year the question plagued me: one week of autumn holidays, what could I do? When I read that one of the greatest van Gogh exhibitions ever had just been opened in Bremen in the north of Germany I found my destination.
The exhibition alone didn’t lure me, though, a train journey of seven hours and an expensive ticket, to say nothing of the price for the hotel, would be a bit exaggerated, even for an art buff like me.
I wanted to see the north of Germany again; I had lived in a small town near Bremen for nine years and liked it there, in fact landscape-wise I’ve never liked it better anywhere else. I don’t cherish hills and mountains, I always feel they block my view. I want to see the sky!
My mother and I always went to Bremen when we had great acquisitions to make which wasn’t very often, but I ...
Advantages: Excellent radio both at FM & AM Disadvantages: Tape player (No CD)
this blaupunkt car radio has an excellent radio front end at both FM & (mostly) AM! Its ability to receive AM (MW) radio broadcasts with the usual very short FM whip antennas that are commonly found at newer cars, is a real plus! And the sound on AM isn't bad at all. It does have a good AM IF bandwidth filter probably, that allow you to listen good sounded AM stations, with a quality (at least an AM quality that most newer radios doesn't provide for the forgotten ? MW band), while keeping the selectivity needed for first adjacent channel intereference out. A better noise blanker filter, or a faster AGC wil help a little at city terrains where the manmade static noises are higher!
For FM the sound is good (take in account the overcompressed FM modulated signals that most stations have now) and its sensitivity is good enough to get ...
