Etap Hotel Paris Porte D'Italie, Kremlin Bicetre

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Quality of rooms

...This is another hotel from Accor, the founders of Ibis. However i am reviewing the Etap hotel situated on the outskirts of Paris, within an area known as Kremlin Bicetre. In this area, you have the choice between an Ibis hotel, a Novotel and the Etap, as well as various other smaller establishments, of which the Etap is by far the least expensive. The Etap Hotel Paris Porte D'Italie is split into two buildings; Ouest (west) and Est (east). Whereas the western hotel has 144 rooms, the eastern has 171. However both offer the same value for money. But please remember these are low budget, no frills hotels so don't expect to be living in the lap of luxury! The French Etaps are cheaper than those in the UK and will only set you back 48 Euros (around £33) per room per night. But bear in mind there is a 3 Euro suppliment for the second...

Review of Etap Hotel Paris Porte D'Italie, Kremlin Bicetre

Cheap as croissants!

Advantages: Very clean and cheap
Disadvantages: None!

...normally not at all fussed about having breakfast as I find that it is cheaper and more enjoyable to just go to a normal café' and have freshly baked cake or pastries. In general the breakfast experience was positive. People sit around a circular table which has a raised middle area where waiters would put baskets full of croissants, normal bread and the sweet french bread. On another area you would have all sorts of jams, butter, yougurts and of course tea, coffee and juice. It felt a bit like a modest church cafeteria with noises of people chatting away and waiters making noises with cutlery, glasses.. Sad as it may sound we did leave the table with a couple of croissants and jams in our pockets! As far as location this hotel was 10 min max from the Porte St. Ouen underground line and you could reach the centre of Paris within a few...

Formule 1 Paris Porte de Montreuil, Bagnolet

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: No bathroom

...This is another hotel from Accor, the company behind Ibis and Etap. But if you thought the latter were low budget hotels, wait until you have heard about this one! If you are travelling to another location by car or by plane and need somewhere to rest, this is ideal. As the crow flies, the nearest airport is le Bourqet, which is about 10km away but Orly is only a short drive more. Sitaued just off the Boulevard Péphérique, this hotel is good for overnight stays, but nothing else. The area in which the hotel is situated isnt anything special; grafitti sees to be a common feature in the roads surrounding the hotel. However, the hotel iself is fairly pleasant, with the rooms being rather modern and usually pretty clean. This complex has 228 rooms, but only 14 of these are non smoking; so if this is a priority for you, i suggest you...

...**** Quality Hotel Pierre Arc de Triomphe Paris**** I stayed in this hotel the second time i visited this city.There are 25 rooms,all en-suite ,single,double and twin. **Location/Getting there** This hotel is located very near the arc de triomphe and down one of the streets is a shuttle bus service which will take you to the airports,both Charles De Gauile and Orily.It is also near a metro stop and a taxi rank.This is how long it will take you to get to te hotel from the following places From the Champs Elysées : 10 minutes walk From the Palais des Congres : 10 minutes walk From Opera : Direct access by the ligne number 3(2 minute walk). **Reception/staff** I didn't think that this looked very impressive.There was apparently a bar but this was an area with two seats and small work top.Unimpressed.Checking in was okay but...

Etap Birmingham Centre, Birmingham

Advantages: cheap, clean, friendly staff
Disadvantages: quite a walk from town centre

...Etap Hotels are another budget hotel chain created by Accor, the creators of hotel giants Ibis. This 250 room complex is situtaed in the centre of Birmingham and all rooms cost £35, whether its a weekday or the weekend. But for this price, don't expect luxury acommodation, as luxury is probably the worst word to describe this hotel. The rooms are clean and modern and sleep up to 3 people. In most cases, this is either a double or twin beds with a single bunk on top - not very glamourous but good for the money. You do get a television (complete with an array of English and European channels), but I can't guarantee that you'll get coffee and tea making facilities, as some rooms seem to be missing these. There is also no hairdryer or anything like that, but you can get one if pay a £10 deposit at reception - you will get this returned to...

Review of Etap Birmingham Centre, Birmingham

Etap Hotel Strasbourg is a great place to stay!

Advantages: cheap, clean, comfortable, convenient location, friendly staff
Disadvantages: nothing really, unless you count slightly odd decor

..., I was put into a more spacious room which had a 4th bed (a single). I don't think much of the interior design (I wouldn't have put white, blue, purple and orange together) but the room was clean and comfortable which is what matters. It was also air conditioned (thankfully since it was summer) and had a nice little bathroom. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful and there's a secure room where you can put your luggage for ?2 if you need somewhere to leave it before you check in or after you check out. Breakfast is ?5 a day but I never had it myself so I couldn't tell you what it was like. There was also a TV in the room, though I didn't actually watch it. The Etap Hotel in Strasbourg is part of the Etap chain, and I was so impressed with it that when I went to Paris a few months later, I booked a room in one...

  A Superb Gamble in Vegas! The Paris Hotel!

Advantages: Something new to explore..you can be in Paris and Las Vegas at the same time!
Disadvantages: A bit pricy for some, you need more than two weeks to see everything!

... First . . . Las Vegas . . . and the strip One of the magnificent trips that I will never forget was my recent visit to the city of lights and entertainment - Las Vegas! It is the most densely inhabited city in the United States of America. Las Vegas is known for its gambling places and games; for unusually shaped large hotels, casinos, restaurants, resorts, properties and spacious houses. Most of the first class hotels, casinos and entertainments are laid out over a mere 3.8 miles. The most extraordinary hotel I have ever seen was the Paris Hotel . . . in Las Vegas! It?s not only a hotel . . . it?s like an amusement city! This hotel was arranged, decorated and designed just as if a slice of Paris had been pulled out and put down in Las Vegas! I was lucky enough to go to Las Vegas . . . I work in a travel...

Novotel Paris Est

Advantages: Cheap, Friendly staff, Great Location
Disadvantages: Not close to the eiffel tower

...Bagnolet is about 30 minutes away from the Eiffel Tower but this hotel makes any travelling to Paris' attractions simple. It is located just a 5 minute walk away from the Metro Station, which also happens to be next to a shopping center. The shopping centre has a supermarket and various bakeries to get food from. For those who didnt book meals at the hotel its easy to get food. The hotel inside is beautiful, the lounge is modern, well lit and has lots of features (bar, restraunt, shop, cafe) The staff were fantastic, they can speak English very well and are extremely helpful. Infact one of the staff helped us plan out what we were going to do on the holiday, he showed us all the places that we should visit. The room was a little basic but it was very clean. There is a t.v in every room but they only have two english channels which...

  Port El Kantaoui

Advantages: Beautiful Beaches
Disadvantages: Mainly For Couples, Hassle From Local Shopkeekers

...Port El Kantaoui is a purpose built Holiday Resort on the Northern Coast of Tunisia in North Africa. It is situated just a few kilometres North of Sousse, Tunisia's second largest City after the Capital Tunis. It was built in 1979 with a modern 300 Yacht capacity Marina as its focal point. In recent years this Marina has become a popular mooring location for the rich and famous undertaking their Mediterranean Cruises and the Marina here is said to rival those long established Marinas of Nice and Marbella on the Southern Coast of Europe. It is now also Tunisia's most popular Holiday Resort. I stayed in Port El Kantaoui between the 2nd and 9th July 2006 and found the experience to be a rather interesting one. Since it was my first visit to Tunisia I was a little unsure of what to expect and as my Holiday approached I began to hear...
