Advantages: Great location, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Nowhere to plug in the hairdrier

...PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS HOTEL DOES NOT HAVE A SAUNA,POOL OR SPA - I COULDN'T SEND MY REVIEW UNLESS I TICKED SOME OF THESE BOXES! I must apologise for bringing the subject up again but it is due the usual combination of my itchy feet and my curiosity that I ended up at Edinburgh's Adria Hotel. You see, the previous evening I had been in Stirling to see my old chum Ian McNabb (ex-Icicle Works, remember them?) playing at the Tollbooth. Ian told me that he would be playing the next evening in Edinburgh and I decided that since I had enjoyed the show so much I would see him play again in Edinburgh - actually it was really because I did not want to miss anything - would Ian play different songs, who would be at the gig, these were questions I could not let lie. With more than a degree of reluctance my long-suffering partner (he went... Read review

...A couple of years ago I was invited to attend a European convention in Slovenia. Quite excited I started looking for ways to get there. The year before, on my way back from Lanzarote, I was taken quite ill on the plane and spent a whole 4 hour journey on oxygen, later being met off the plane by an ambulance. I was not keen on flying so tried to find alternative ways of traveling. Coach seemed like a great idea, only *hint of sarcasm* 6 changes and only £300 odd quid. This idea quickly went out of the window as did the idea of train. The only other option I had was to fly… I looked up on many websites and found that the cheapest airline by far was 'Adria Airways'. Adria, what?… I hear you ask. ADRIA AIRWAYS Adria Airways is an airline based in Ljubljana in Slovenia. Adria Airways... Read review

...WHY DID WE BOOK THE AMBER HOTEL CHEMNITZ? Requiring a convenient hotel to stay in overnight on our return from Poland in May, we discovered the Amber Hotel whilst searching for hotels adjacent to E40 (the main East / West continental route) in the Chemnitz area. Last year we stayed in a hotel called the Drei Shwanen, previously reviewed - about five miles to the south west of here. The Amber looked perfectly situated (and easy to find) very close to a motorway junction. The fact that it was a four star hotel offering a double room on the Saturday night for a mere 68 Euros made it all the more attractive! HOTEL DESCRIPTION / OUR PERCEPTION FROM HOTEL PUBLICITY From the hotel website this looked like a "Eurostandard" (read bland!), modern, business hotel. A four star hotel with 103 rooms, I have to admit that it was the very... Read review

...Situated in East Grinstead, West Sussex this hotel is counted as a Gatwick Airport Hotel. Compared to all the other Gatwick hotels and all other hotels I have stayed in, this has to be one of the best. The hotel has recently been taken over in the last year and gone through a 5 million pound refurbishment taking the hotel and spa to 4* Deluxe Status from its previous 2* rating. I did not visit the hotel when it was previously owned so cannot compare. I drive past this hotel every day and it always catches my eye, it looks really nice. I first went into the hotel to take a look at the spa. When I went in the whole hotel was spotless, the staff on reception were very polite and helpful and directed me to spa. ~~~~~~~~~ Reception ~~~~~~~~~ This is the first thing you see when you walk through the revolving doors...

...WRITTEN August 2002 INTRODUCTION My wife and I had a lovely visit to Prague in July/August 2002. We stayed at the Marriott Hotel for 5 nights. This op simply describes the facilities at the hotel. I have also written a few words about my temping assignment at Marriott Services. WORKING FOR MARRIOTT SERVICES In 1997 I had the stupid urge to go temping. I registered with the employment agency Hays Accountancy Personnel, which soon found me a 10-week assignment with Marriott Services. This company is an offshoot of the hotel chain and provides vending machines to hospitals and gardening services to schools etc. My hourly pay was a paltry GBP 4.50, which was about 80p above the minimum wage. My job was to help out the accounts staff in the payroll, credit control and purchase ledger departments. Unfortunately these 3... Read review

...::::: What is the Cheyenne Hotel::::: The Disney's Hotel Cheyenne is a wild west based theme hotel. It is made to look as if it is in the wild west, with horses, cowboys etc. You've seen all the movies. It does look real, and every detail has been put in to make it look "wild west". The main reception building, where the restaurant is, and other hotel buildings surrounding it have funky wild west writing on the sides of the buildings which says things like "Saloon" "Jail" and "Billy The Kid". This is a good idea, not the names of each hotel building but gives the hotel that extra feel of the hotel area. There are around 10 different hotel blocks, each separated. The main building is where most people go at breakfast, at dinner if they choose to eat there, or when they check in, or out. This is a good place to meet as a meeting point... Read review

...Just before I begin my review of The Claremont Lions hotel in Eastbourne I would just like to quote the description of the hotel on its brochure, I hope this is ok I just want to give you an insight into what I was led to believe I was booking into. "Welcome to the Claremont.. A grade 2 Listed Victorian hotel situated in a prime position opposite the pier and famous carpet gardens with its fantastic views across the channel. The Claremont offers an excellent standard of accommodation, food, service and a very warm welcome. In our sea view Compton restaurant we take particular pride in serving meals using the best local ingredients. You will be impressed by the sense of space in the public areas. The rich wood finish and leather Chesterfields give a feeling of a boutique style. There is a new ground floor bar offering service... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful nature & cultural sights, extremely cheap.
Disadvantages: Increased security risks in northern Macedonia, rather poor infrastructure.

...LATEST UPDATE (27.06.2001): On June 26, 2001, both the British and German Foreign Offices have issued travel warnings for Macedonia. The FCO advises British Citizens who live in Macedonia to leave the country. Official information from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office on the situation in Macedonia can be found at the following website: www.fco.gov.uk/travel/countryadvice.asp?MA Meanwhile Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Swissair and Adria Airways continue their services to Skopje, in addition to Adria Airways' daily flight from Ljubljana to Ohrid in southwestern Macedonia. Here is my personal advice on the situation: Overland travel in Macedonia is currently non-advisable, as most bus routes from Skopje to the south lead through the city of Tetovo, a battleground for fights between the Macedonian army and ethnic Albanian UCK...

...This has to be one of the hardest reviews of a hotel I have written. Why? Because normally I end up in a marvellous hotel with superb facilities and staff or a true dump of a place with mouldy bathrooms and no service at all. I do not like giving 3 stars with reviews as it doesn't really give a good indication as to whether the hotel is good or bad, but in this case I am forced too. There were no major problems with this hotel, nothing to make me recommended people avoid it. However, at the same time, there is nothing that would definitely attract any repeat business from me. Booking & Pricing As with most flight and hotel trips that I book, I used expeida.co.uk to get the best deal I could find on this hotel. Although Expedia often provide great flight and hotel packages, it can be difficult to establish how much you actually paid... Read review
