Clifton Arms Hotel

Advantages: The Best Hotel in Lytham St Annes.
Disadvantages: Whoa! is it pricey!

...This Hotel is in the prime position in Lytham. It faces the 2 or so miles of Lytham Green. There are scenic views of the Welsh hills and the Pennines in the distance and views of the Ribble Estuary. Close by is the famous windmill. The hotel takes its name from the Clifton family. They were the main landowners in the area. There are many references to the Clifton family locally. Their family seat was Lytham Hall. This is open to the public on occasion. It is now owned by an insurance company. (AXA) The Clifton Arms Hotel was first erected on Clifton Street, in the space that is now Park Street, on or around 1794. This was apparently a coaching inn. Its successor, the current hotel, was built in 1840 on West Beach. In 1875 all buildings comprising the hotel were raised to the same height. Clearly the hotel was built at the height...

Clifton Park Museum, Rotherham

Advantages: Plenty to see, free entry
Disadvantages: Closed on fridays

...Clifton Park museum is located on the fringe of Rotherham town centre. The museum is housed in Clifton House, a Grade 11 listed building dating from 1793. This house was designed by John Carr, a prominent architect of that time and it was the family home of the Walker family. The original occupier was Joshua Walker and his wife. Joshua's father had made his fortune in the local steel industry. Following Joshua's death this house was passed through various generations of his family and remained in their possession for almost 200 years. Clifton House stood in 70 acres of grounds and the majority of this land came into the ownership of Rotherham Borough Council in 1891, who opened up this area as a public recreation area called Clifton Park. Shortly after this date the Council also acquired the house and in 1893 they opened this house as...

Review of Clifton Park Museum, Rotherham

Three stars for two star service

Advantages: Location, comfortable bed
Disadvantages: Over priced, needs a repaint, breakfast could be better

...I love Bristol, I like its surrounding countryside, I like the people, the atmosphere at night in the city centre, the diverse range of restaurants & pubs, the attractions & the decent climate. The company I work for are based in Bristol & for me it means a regular trip there every two to three months staying in a different hotel & eating out in different restaurants. Last week I stayed there just for one night at the Victoria Square Hotel owned by Best Western in the Clifton area of Bristol. The area is rather nice with its plush Georgian style homes with a lovely park overlooked by the hotel. You are just a short walking distance away from many restaurants & pubs. LOCATION: The hotel is about 30 minutes driving time form the airport depending on traffic but once you get there parking can be difficult. The car park at the rear...

  Jury's Service - The Verdict Is Good

Advantages: Modern decor, good-sized rooms, excellent prices
Disadvantages: Public transport access

...In most major UK cities I now have a favourite hotel, and as such the opportunities for new reviews are drying up. In London, however, I continue to try one different hotel after another, because none of them particularly fill me with excitement. London hotels are expensive, often quite tatty and the market still doesn?t seem hugely competitive to me. I?ve stayed in other Jury?s hotels around the country and have had mixed feelings, but I was alerted to a special offer in the press for selected nights at Jury?s hotels in the UK and decided to try out one of their London offerings. LOCATION AND CHECKING IN The Clifton Ford hotel is situated off Wellbeck Street in West London. The Clifton Ford is almost certainly one of those hotels that you would choose for sightseeing or Christmas shopping. By Tube, Madame Tussaud?s is supposed to...

Review of Jury's Clifton Ford Hotel (Oxford Street)

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...

Review of Hotel International, Paris

Just Jury's

Advantages: Luxurious, central, gorgeous,
Disadvantages: Could be expensive

...I?ve recently home from a short break in London, me and my bloke go quite regularly, for a wander round the shops and some decent nights out, unfortunately the most recent hotel I stayed in isn?t listed on Ciao, so I?m going to write a review of the last one we stayed in, and definitely my most favourite hotel in London. I always book the hotels we stay in from the net, this time I booked with www.LondonTown.com. I got a 68% discount of off the normal price. The Cliffton Ford Hotel is situated at 47 Wellbeck Street, in West London. It?s a very short walk from Oxford Street and Bond Street, where the world?s best shops are! The hotel is very central, and if you fancy walking it, Madame Tussaud?s and the Planetarium are only about a 10 to 15 minute walk away. I?m not a big fan of the tube in London, so we usually walk, or taxi it...

Norbreck Castle Hotel

Advantages: Out of the town
Disadvantages: Too many people!

...I'm glad that I did not get to read any of the reviews before I went to this hotel, or see the Holidays from Hell programme the night before! The hotel can be found along the seafront, about three miles from the main centre of Blackpool, heading out towards Fleetwood. It is now under the Britannia hotels group and it is easily accessible by tram and bus. We used the trams the whole time instead of me driving all the time. My husband, my two youngest children and myself went last week for a couple of nights, after finding an advert which gave a special price of £35 per person dinner bed and breakfast per night. The two children were included free of charge, including their meals. The advert did state that the hotel was ungoing a £7million pound upgrade, and that some services may not be available. This did not deter us as we...

hotel olsanka

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Not so easy to access the town centre of prague.

...hotel olsanka prague Having been to prague recently and having stayed at this particular accomodation a few years ago, I was keen to give this place one final chance as I had had a really rubbish stay at this place. Similarly to my previous stay, I had notice that the Hotel seems to be advertised much cheaper on accomodation websites compared to near enough all other places to stay in prague. getting to the accomodation The details of getting to prague town centre are covered in my previous prague accomodation review, and whilst this accomodation is not as easy to get to location wise, a tram journey needed to get the accomodation from one of the central location's of prague town centre. booking process I booked this accomodation using a third party reservation booking website and paid around seventy euros...

A SUPERB TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN

Advantages: A Lasting Tribute to a Great British Engineer. A National Landmark. Beautiful Setting.
Disadvantages: That I do not Live Closer to it!

...with us from Poland for the summer, a couple of Sundays ago, in late August, we decided to drive down to Bristol and show her the ss Great Britain and of course the Clifton Suspension Bridge. I also wanted to see the Brunel 200 exhibition in the maritime Centre building, which I believe finishes in October. THE IDEA IS HATCHED When Brunel launched the Great Britain from its current home, in July 1843, the Avon Gorge was without a bridge, although in a sense it had already been in the "planning stage" since 1754. A wine trader by the name of William Vick, who had made his fortune in Bristol, died in that year, leaving £1000 in trust, intending that when it had grown to £10,000 it would fund a stone bridge, crossing the Avon Gorge from Clifton Down to Leigh Woods. The mystery is quite why Mr Vicks should want to see such crossing built...

Review of Clifton Suspension Bridge

Great hotel

Advantages: lovely rooms, nice food and fab facilities
Disadvantages: none really

...I recently stayed overnight at the chine hotel in Bournemouth whilst in the area for a friends wedding. It is currently rated as a three star hotel, but I cannot for the life of me see why as I found it to be of at least four star standard. There are 86 rooms, all of which incorporate an en suite bathroom and are decorated to a decent standard. All rooms include a hair dryer, trouser press, direct dial telephone, satellite television (selected channels only) and the complementary tray of tea, coffee and biscuits. There are four types of rooms available in relation to the view they offer the guests. The basic room is an inland room, then there is a garden facing room and finally the sea views and sea views with balcony (the prices are slightly higher for these). The hotel has a fantastic restaurant which serves breakfast...
