Buckatree Hall Hotel

Advantages: In a remote scenic area, lots of facilites
Disadvantages: slightly expensive but still worth it

...Buckatree Hall Hotel - Telford Shropshire The hotel stated above is part of the Swallow Hotels chain, not like your average chain hotel this one is stunning my other half and I stayed there a couple of times going back after the first visit as we enjoyed it so much. It is a 2 star hotel but I believe it is well worth of more, it has 62 rooms catering for all needs and being very family friendly, they have single rooms, double rooms and family rooms and where possible will arrange and room to suit your individual needs. Buckatree Hall Hotel is situated just off the M54 in a remote location down a few back roads, it has a peaceful quiet surrounding area which puts you in the mood for your relaxing break away. There are several tourist attractions not far via car journey such as, Telford Shopping Centre, Park, Bowling Ally, Ice...

Review of Buckatree Hall Hotel, Telford

  Telford, By A Resident

Advantages: Shopping, nice areas, easy to get around, close to other places
Disadvantages: Some bad areas, some bad people, bad nightlife

...Ah, Telford. When trying to think about what wonderful review to write next I tried to think about what I know best, and what could I know better than my home town? And so I decided to write a review of Telford and all the exciting things in it, as well as some of the less exciting things. I once saw a duck in Telford. How's that for excitement? Okay, okay, I'll get onto serious buisness. A Brief History I may as well tell you a brief history of the town. It won't take long as the history is brief! Telford is a new town, officially designated in early 1963, then known as Dawley New Town, bringing together many smaller towns and villages in the area. Development continued as more houses and infrastructure were built to strengthen the town, and eventually in 1968, the town took in a greater area, as well as being officially renamed...

Review of Telford, England

Telford worth a visit

Advantages: Easy to get to
Disadvantages: Finding stuff other than the Iron Bridge

..., you guess it, another ancient market town subsumed by Telford!) has very strong links to the foundation of Methodism. Sadly the official tourism industry in Telford can only see the majestic shape of the Iron Bridge when trying to attract tourists. However, Wellington has it's own Tourist Information Centre which has a selection of leaflets, lists of local hotels and guest houses and a range of books on local history for sale on Wellington and the whole Telford area. It is to be found at the Wellington News premises at 2, Crown Street, Wellington, Telford, Shropshire. The Wellington Library in Walker Street, Wellington, has a local studies section. Wellington has a market that is still going strong after over 1,000 years, and is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and you can get a fantastic deal on meals at the White...

Review of Telford, England

Vally Hotel, Picturesque and Perfect

Advantages: Peaceful, Excelent Service
Disadvantages: I cant go more often

...This is the perfect place for a weekend break. I booked in to the Valley Hotel as a surprise break away for my partners 30th birthday. Our room was one of the bridal suits, a double four poster bed with en suit, very tastefully decorated and a very comfortable size. I had taken a few balloons and a banner which they put up for me. We arrived and were shown to our room before dinner. The room looked fantastic! In the bar we had the menu brought to us to decide what we wanted before we were seated. The menu was fantastic. Excellent options and the vegetarian options were great, they were very accommodating and prepared to make and changes to the dishes we wanted. The food was fantastic quality and the service exceptional. After the meal we went in to the bar for another drink. During this time the staff had put a chilled bottle...

Review of Best Western Valley Hotel, Telford

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

Telford Love it or hate it

Advantages: has a very nice shopping centre (from a blokes point of view)
Disadvantages: I never will get the hang of that flaming ring road.

...I stopped off at Telford for a night on my way to Bridgnorth Folk Festival ( an exeptional Festival a review of which will follow as and when Ciao has a slot for Folk Festivals). Stayed at the Telford Travel Inn just to use up some old vouchers, the price should have been around £49.95. A promise they make is that should your sleep be disturbed in any way before 7am they will give you a refund and at around 6.30 am I awoke to the sound of a bin/skip lorry as the room I was in was at the back of the hotel. Although I would have accepted less the duty manager insisted on a full refund. Shopping, Telford has a very nice new shopping mall with most of the major retail outlets within, when I went the car park had the offer of 20 minutes free, so if you got your ticket back through the exit machine within that time you are ok. Great...

Review of Telford, England

Shropshire/Telford and the Holiday inn Hotel

Advantages: Short break
Disadvantages: None

...Shropshire /Telford and the Holiday inn Hotel I have stayed in many holiday inns and crown plaza's, but the holiday inn telford iron bridge is perfectly positioned and nestled in neighbourhood of St Quentin gate and for those who do not know Telford, then this is right next door to the Telford shopping centre. The hotel is just slightly out of the town on the St Quentin roundabout next to the Randlay wood park. I stated the term "next to the shopping centre," that's true and I did state this hotel is slightly out of town, but in fact what separates this hotel from the shopping centre is the Telford town park and wonderland...

Review of Shropshire (England)

The Strand Palace Hotel

Advantages: Central location, clean
Disadvantages: Food, rooms

...We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too. Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly. My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern. I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower. The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close. The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated...

Review of The Strand Palace Hotel, London

Booking.com helps hotels cheat customers.

Advantages: extensive database of hotels, many quite inexpensive
Disadvantages: if a hotel cheats you, they will apologize, but do nothing.

...Booking.com: Colluding with Corrupt Hotel Owners to Cheat Customers? I am sorry to have to write this review, but I have tried for months to get Booking.com to address my complaint. I have reserved rooms using this service in the past, and have been very pleased. This, however, came to an end this summer. I booked a room at the Travel Inn in Reykjavik, only to find, upon arrival, that my wife, son, and myself were escorted to a car with no explanation. Eventually the clerk told us that we would be driven to the "other" location. The Travel Inn has, it seems, bought space in the Pavi Guesthouse (over a mile away). I would have refused on principle, but I know the situation in Reykjavik is such that I might have had no options. We were driven there, the driver stopped along the way to encourage me to withdraw money from...
