Stuttgart

Advantages: Great city
Disadvantages: It's far from here lol

..., which is absolutely amazing and available in over 20 different flavours. The factory and its museum/centre is accessible by a frequent bus service from a nearby S-Bahn. People aged 18 and under can make their own chocolate here (well, pour liquid chocolate into moulds and add things) which was quite fun, as well as buy chocolate for insanely cheap in the shop. I saw lots of people there buying trolley fulls of it for about 20 euros or so. *Conclusion* I really enjoyed my stay in and around Stuttgart, and would recommend it if you fancy a short city break, though I have no idea what any of the hotels are like. *Conclusion* I really enjoyed my stay in Marbach and the surrounding area...

Review of Stuttgart (Germany)

One Day In Stuttgart

Advantages: nice city, nice surroundings
Disadvantages: the dialect of the people, but if you don't know German anyway, why bother

...;re not in Southern Europe here, but quite tasty, more red than white wines are produced. Bus 62 will take us to Obertürkheim, tube S1 back to Stuttgart, so you don’t have to be afraid of your blood alcohol. The wines aren’t well known outside the region the reason being that the Swabians drink nearly all themselves. You can take some bottles with you as souvenirs or have them sent to your home address. or just drink and take the memory with you. Let’s all meet at midnight at the hotel bar and exchange and share our impressions of the day!...

Fly away from Stuttgart

Advantages: Well run German Airport
Disadvantages: Display screens not updated quickly enough

...Stuttgart Echterdingen is situated approximately 10 miles outside of the centre of Stuttgart and is the first and last point of call for many travellers visiting this city of industry. Although not the largest of airports, Stuttgart still sees approximately 400 landings and taking offs daily and last year saw nearly 9.5million people use the airport, flying on approximately 60 different carriers. THE TERMINAL If you are flying from Stuttgart, you will see that your flight will arrive/depart from one of four terminals at the airport. However, do not be fooled as, unlike many other airports, the four terminals are encased in the same building and the number only refers to the part of the terminal that you will fly from. As well as being split into four sections laterally, the terminal is split across five floors with each...

Review of Stuttgart Echterdingen (STR)

Booking.com helps hotels cheat customers.

Advantages: extensive database of hotels, many quite inexpensive
Disadvantages: if a hotel cheats you, they will apologize, but do nothing.

...Booking.com: Colluding with Corrupt Hotel Owners to Cheat Customers? I am sorry to have to write this review, but I have tried for months to get Booking.com to address my complaint. I have reserved rooms using this service in the past, and have been very pleased. This, however, came to an end this summer. I booked a room at the Travel Inn in Reykjavik, only to find, upon arrival, that my wife, son, and myself were escorted to a car with no explanation. Eventually the clerk told us that we would be driven to the "other" location. The Travel Inn has, it seems, bought space in the Pavi Guesthouse (over a mile away). I would have refused on principle, but I know the situation in Reykjavik is such that I might have had no options. We were driven there, the driver stopped along the way to encourage me to withdraw money from...

Schlossplatz - Stuttgart City Centre

Advantages: Central, two nice palaces
Disadvantages: Not a lot to do

...Smack bang in the middle of Stuttgart City Centre, you will find the Schlossplatz. In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the extremely busy main shopping street (KonigStrasse), this area much more relaxed with fountains and grassy areas in which to relax. The name Schlossplatz translates at Palace Square and this is because the area is flanked by the two Palaces of Stuttgart. The Altes Schloss (Old Palace) sits on the right of the square with the Neus Schloss (New Palace) dominating one side of the square ahead of you. The Altes Schloss was built in the 1330's and was a royal residence for much of the late 1500's. It was virtually destroyed during WWII but has been subsequently rebuilt to its former glory. Today it houses a museum celebrating the history of the Baden-Württemberg region and it costs 3? to enter. I personally...

Review of Palace Square (Schlossplatz), Stuttgart

Stuttgart is a city of great beauty

Advantages: lots of parcs, woods, nightlife...
Disadvantages: ...

...First I´ve to say that I come from Stuttgart! Sorry, that my English is not as good as yours, but my Englsh teacher is not very good ;)! Stuttgart is the capital of Baden- Württemberg (That´s in South-Germany). Here live about 550 000 people. But nevertheless there are lots of parks and woods. Arround Stuttgart are hills. That´s very nice, because you can have a very great look on the city. I think you all know Mercedes and Porsche!? They both come from Stuttgart. If you want to go shopping, I would go to the Königsstraße (Kingsstreet). There are many shops and supermarkets... One ofe the greatest places in Stuttgart is the New Castle (das Neue Schloß)! There is a park before it, and in the summer you can see lots of people sleeping there. If you are a fan of nightlife, is Stuttgart the right place for you! Stuttgart...

Review of Stuttgart (Germany)

Hotel International

Advantages: Location, breakfasts
Disadvantages: Poor rooms

...I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal. PRICE: Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time...

sachas hotel

Advantages: good price,great location
Disadvantages: no window

...****Sachas hotel- Manchester**** I booked this hotel last minute as i had a job interview in Manchester and needed somewhere quite cheap ,that was also near the centre. **Location/Getting there** This hotel is located in Tibb street which is a 2 minute walk from Piccadily Gardens or 10 minutes away from Chorlton street bus station.The Train station is a little bit further away say maybe a twenty minute walk but i don't think that this is that bad .You can also get a tram from Piccadily gardens and this goes to quite a few places.You could also get a taxi to the hotel but i am not sure what parking is like if you were to take your own car. **Reception/staff** Since i had never been to Manchester before i phoned and asked the staff for directions -they were very nice and helped me out.When i got there i think i got the same...

Review of Britannia Sachas Hotel, Manchester

ONE FOR THE HOTEL INSPECTOR

Advantages: Location, price & views
Disadvantages: Standard of rooms, maintenance issues, no parking & pretty much no standards

...AND PRICES I went through a few major hotel websites and came across The Claremont Lions, which seemed a reasonable price and sounded like it was well situated and of a good standard compared to the rest of the hotels in Eastbourne. Well the write up made it sound like an amazing standard but having stayed in a lot of hotels I know that's normally nothing to go by. After deciding on the hotel we were going to use I set about getting some comparables and came up with the hotels own website being the most expensive at £80, Lastminute.com at £69 and Hotel pronto at £59 which seemed really reasonable especially as I could get 8% cash back from the cash back website I use. It was simple to book online it took my 2 minutes to complete my details and my payment information. I was then sent an email confirmation and the hotel voucher. Booking online...

Review of Claremont Hotel, Eastbourne

Fantastic Hotel

Advantages: Fantastic Food
Disadvantages: Lifts are quite small

...When we decided to make a return trip to Benalmedina we opted to go to the four star Hotel Las Arenas as it was recommended by friends. It is slightly further out just opposite the Castle Bill Bill and when you cross the road it?s a flat walk all the way to the marina which is away from the large hills on which many of the other hotels are located. Reception On arrival check in was swift and at this time we opted to pay for a safety deposit box we were then handed the safe key and card key to room 524 and pointed in the direction of the lifts. On looking round reception it was laid out with tables and chairs and also had a grand piano, a small bar ,toilets and computers with internet access. There is a large board telling you about entertainment available during the day and at night. The whole area was laid out for wheelchair access...
