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...

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...

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...

Bargain hotel in the heart of Brussels

Advantages: Decent hotel, great price on Expedia
Disadvantages: Will you be able to get the same deal?

...INTRODUCTION Brussels is a handy place to meet if you're in the South Netherlands and your girlfriend is in London. Thanks to Eurostar and Dutch rails, we can both make it there in a couple of hours. My girlfriend managed to get a great deal on a hotel thanks to Expedia, and so here is a review of that hotel, which in my opinion is well worthy of consideration. Seems like the name has slighly changed since this was added to Ciao in 2006, to Eurostars Sablon. I checked the address and I've got the right place! THE LOCATION Hotel Eurostars Sablon is located opposite the Museum of Ancient and Modern Art in the city centre, 500 metres from the Royal Palace. This makes it a very handy location for the tourist areas. We found it a five minute walk to the Central train station, and a ten minute walk to the main tourist area...

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...

4 star hotel worth its price

Advantages: Great 4 star hotel for the price
Disadvantages: Non-central location for the most part

...Stayed in this hotel with my wife and a four friends in August 2006 while preparing to go to the Tomatina in Bunol. This is a 4 star hotel and we had it on the cheap; it ran 180 euros for three nights for a double room. The room was quite spacious, and bathroom was pretty nice. They gave you all the amenities you'd expect of a 4 star hotel, including replenishing the toiletries and towels (despite you hanging them up to "save the environment") daily. There was even the butt-washer (in addition to the toilet and shower/tub) that's popular with the French hotels. The bed was comfortable and there is ample space in the room to move around without bumping into things. The furniture was pretty modern and our room had a little chair and coffee table in addition to the usual dresser/desk combo. TV worked fine and had a decent...

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

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

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...

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...
