Hesperia Del Mar

Advantages: Great location & cheap
Disadvantages: Not that many food places around

...I visited Barcelona this July and stayed at the Hotel Hesperia Del Mar for five nights with 3 other friends and I have to honestly say we all loved it! The hotel price which we got from expedia was one of the most competitive around and we were pleasantly surprised when we got to the hotel, for how cheap the hotel was it was quite nice. It cost for five night my share was 145 so the entire room cost was 290. The hotel reception staff were the highlight of the hotel. They are very friendly, warm and always willing to help! The rooms were standard and offered everything we needed. The bathroom was fully equipped with a shower, toilet, bidet and sink with large mirror. The bedroom consisted of 2 single beds and were comfy. There is air conditioning so we never felt hot and flustered in the room unless we turned it off and forgot to put it...

Review of Hesperia Del Mar, Barcelona

Location Times Three

Advantages: Friendly.
Disadvantages: Just a little too far from the centre.

...A 20 minute taxi ride (£15) or 25-30 minute bus ride (£2.50) from the airport and you have arrived at the 4* Radisson SAS Hesperia Hotel, Helsinki (Finland) part of the Radisson Group. Situated on a main thoroughfare (Mannerhelmintie) leading into the heart of the city, the hotel overlooks the Hesperia Park, complete with its frozen lake and brave joggers. Within coughing distance is the Olympic Stadium, Finlandia Hall (concerts) and the Finnish National Opera - the glass walls welcome inside the stark whiteness of the outdoors - architecture that complements rather than dominates, which is nice. The hotel itself is what I would expect of a 4* chain and it didn't exceed expectation or fall short either. The staff were welcoming and informative, with just the right amount of attentiveness. The accommodation was fine...

Review of Hesperia

I was tickled pink on the outskirts of Barcelona

Advantages: Fantastic rooms - they thought of almost everything
Disadvantages: A long way from the centre of the city

...travellers would appreciate all being grouped together. I believe the idea was that security would be enhanced if all the women were in the same place so that there was no reason for any odd men to be lurking around the corridors. These rooms would often have enhanced security features such as door chains, peep holes, even panic alarms, and hotels would guarantee that nobody such as housekeeping or room service would be sent to your room without reception calling ahead to say they were on their way. To be honest, I have to say that I found all that sort of stuff a bit over the top and at times a tad silly. If I was that much of a scaredy-cat I'd never leave my home, let alone go all over the world. The Spanish hotel chain Hesperia has taken a slightly difficult approach to the whole 'girly-room' challenge with their 'Pink Room' concept which I...

Review of Hesperia Sant Just, Barcelona

Sleepless nights in Zaragoza

Advantages: Smart looking hotel in convenient location with spacious rooms
Disadvantages: In a rough area, very noisy at night

...the end, I chose the hotel Hesperia Zaragoza after reading a short review by Andy Symington in his book on Northern Spain who described the hotel as ?An efficient modern hotel set up for the business traveller. It?s much less stuffy than many of its kind and reasonable value for its price bracket?. This is true as far as it goes but, unfortunately, there are things about the Hesperia that are not so nice which I shall describe in this review ~~~~~ Location ~~~~~ On the face of it, the location of the Hesperia is very good being just a five-minute walk to the historic centre where the Basilica, the Cathedral and the Roman ruins can be found. On the way there is a covered market called the Mercado Central, where all sorts of food produce are sold. In the other direction, it takes an equally short time to reach the bullring, around which...

Review of Hesperia, Zaragoza

Birthday Treat!

Advantages: Great hotel, good high standard!
Disadvantages: Not so cheap, breakfast not included.

...Hesperia Hotel, London Victoria, 4 Stars, 2 Bridge Place, Victoria, London, SW1V 1QA As some of you may know it was my birthday last month, I was a very lucky girl this year as my lovely boyfriend whisked me to London for the night to go and see Mamma Mia and to stay the night at the Hesperia Hotel. The hotel is located near Victoria Station, when I say near I mean near, about 2 minutes away. First impressions are good, the front of the hotel has glass front so that you can see into he spacious reception area and into the bar and lounge area. We where staying on floor two and a lift was an available for easy access to this level. The room was a good size with twin beds pushed together, two bedside tables, a dressing table and wardrobe; we also had a large TV which had SKY. We also had an en suite bathroom complete...

Review of Hesperia London Victoria Hotel, London

Luxury in Victoria!

Advantages: Lovely hotel in convenient location
Disadvantages: Views aren't that great, but it is London!

...away eventually. We were very impressed with the little extras in the bathroom: * Shower Cap * Dental set consisting of a tiny toothbrush and toothpaste * Sponge * Shoe shine sponge * Comb * Yummy smelling aloe vera soap * Cotton buds These all came in little individual Hesperia boxes, and got replenished every day. We also had a mini-bar in the room, which offered water, coke, lemonade, beer, minature spirits, Pringles, Toblerone, and jelly babies. BEWARE - these items are VERY expensive! We had 2 bottles of coke before checking the price list and discovered that they were £2.80 each! And the minature spirits were £6 each! I know you expect this from a minibar, especially in London, but we refrained from drinking or eating anything else from it! *** Hotel Services *** There is a concierge service at the hotel who are...
