Hotel Perfectly Adequate

Advantages: Great location, clean and comfy rooms, Pool!
Disadvantages: Weird showers, no sea views

...I?ve just returned from a holiday in Nice, where there?s approximately 300 days of sunshine a year, there are French women sunbathing topless on the beach, and you can dunk your baguette in your coffee and just sit back and watch the world go by. I went to Nice to meet up with my boyfriend after he?d been at conferences, and so we decided to have a short holiday there. I spent weeks trying to find the perfect accommodation, looking on hundreds of websites, trying to balance out cost issues, as well as trying to find somewhere in a good location, and that had good reviews by other travelers. I finally, FINALLY made a decision and booked the Hotel Splendid through hotelclub.com five days before I left. THE HOTEL: AN OVERVIEW The Hôtel Splendid is a 4-star hotel located on the Boulevard Victor-Hugo in the centre of Nice, a few...

Review of Splendid Hotel, Nice

Very nice hotel

Advantages: Good food, Good rooms.
Disadvantages: expensive

...I have relatives who live in Kent and there are two marriott hotels located not too far away - the Bexleyheath Marriott Hotel and Marriott Cheshunt. I don't go to Belxleyheath as the hotel has turned me away before due to the fact they have overbooked. The Marriott Cheshunt hotel is located just outside of Cheshunt town centre, so you'll need a car if you want to get into the main town. The hotel is nicely done inside and the staff are pleasant. I have paid between £80 - £110 to stay here including breakfast. The rooms are nice size and I have always had a room over-looking the inner courtyard. As is standard at Marriott, the beds are very comfortable (in my opinion the Marriott bed is the most comfortable out of the main hotel chains). The rooms are nicely furnished with a sofa, desk, tea and coffee making facilities, and a nice...

Review of Marriott Cheshunt Hotel, Broxbourne

A nice hotel in a good location.

Advantages: Nice comfortable hotel in a lovely location.
Disadvantages: Very expensive to eat inside the hotel, don't bother!

...the Piccadilly Line which runs straight to the hotel's nearest underground station, Gloucester Road. This was easily done even with my suitcase, although it's handy to have a man who can carry it up the stair's in some of the stations! The Marriott Kensington is just a 5 minute walk away from the Gloucester Road station, very handy and easy to get to. Gloucester Road is also in Zone 1 of the underground, meaning you don't have to pay more for extra zones when using the underground. First Impressions The outside of the hotel was very nice, a huge shiny glass fronted building with the large red lettering of 'Marriott' across the top. The lobby was spacious and clean, the man at the desk immediately infront of the entrance asking if I wanted a hand with my luggage. The reception desk was just around the corner, easily visible. There was...

Review of London Marriott Hotel Kensington, London

Another nice hotel in Hammamet.

Advantages: Loction facilities and the staff
Disadvantages: Not as much outside of the hotel during non peak season

...- one which is outside and is located just through the main doors from the lobby and a smaller indoor pool. Both were really nice and clean with plenty of sunloungers around them. There is also an entertainment team on during the day to keep the little ones entertained. The hotel also has a massage centre and hairdressing centre. Restaurants and bars: The hotel has 2 main restaurants - one is buffet style and one is a la carte. There is also a pool barbeque which is only used during peak season and snack bar on the beach that is part of the hotel. We stopped for a quick lunch after lloking around and the food choice semed nice enough - buffet style lunch with plenty of choice in hot and cold food and a choice of breads and deserts. The hotel has 3 bars available but unfortunately we didn't get to sample these! However if they are...

Review of El Menzah Hotel, Hammamet

Nice modern hotel with good location

Advantages: The easy internet connection, room was very nice
Disadvantages: Had to walk for a while to get to the room

...the laptop. Radisson SAS hotel have free WiFi access and it was just a matter of putting in the surname and room number to get access to the net?it is always nice to be online even if you are away from home. The desk also contained a water boiler in case you want some tea or coffee. If you are entertaining visitors there are also a nice light brown leather chair and a two seat sofa around a small glass table. The room also contained a door out to a small veranda where you could overlook the atrium. I?m not sure this has much function but the view was nice. The bathroom was with dark tiles on the floor and light tiles on the walls. There was a large mirror area around the sink and enough lighting. I don?t like the Radisson hotels bathroom amenities by the way. There are small containers of shampoo and shower soap but they are container where...

Review of Radisson SAS Scandinavia Hotel, Gothenburg

A nice hotel in a train station

Advantages: easy access to the public transport, not expensive
Disadvantages: not in the city centre

...that cared for the breakfast were nice. But only some of them spoke English. I was a bit surprised about that, I did not expected that in a 3 star hotel in Paris. The hotel seems to be very popular with tourists from Germany but also noone spoke German. Anyway, all employees that we had to deal with were very nice and also helpful. When we arrived in the hotel our hair dryer in the room behaved a bit crazy (it switched itself on on its own every 5 minutes!) and the problem was solved fast after we told it to the reception. 4.Our room Our room was, like almost all other rooms in the hotel, in the first floor (a few rooms are in the second floor). We had a double room with a ...not that spectacular view. We did not had a room facing to the place in front of the hotel, no, we had a room facing the roof of the train station and a yard. We...

Review of Best Western Hotel Paris-Est, Paris

A nice result but is it really that easy?

Advantages: excellent colour
Disadvantages: Quite hard to make sure youve applied it to all areas.

...I have recently gone from blonde back to my natural colour and my hairdresser told me that despite putting a permanent brown on top of the blonde, it will fade and I would need to go back and keep having semi permanent dye on it to build up the pigment. Now I am trying to save a few pennies at the moment so decided to give it a go myself. I kept putting it off and putting it off until my hair got to the point where it looked quite gingery. It was only by chance that I was looking at the reduced aisle in Tesco and saw a box of this ?Nice and Easy? hair dye for just £1.80. I know nothing about the ?good and bad? of hair dye so thought this was probably as good as any. In the box I got two bottles of dye which were suppose to be mixed together and shaken and then applied to the hair immediately. I also got a big pouch of conditioner...

Review of Clairol Nice 'n Easy

The Grandeur of the Cote D'Azur

Advantages: Every advantage a hotel could have
Disadvantages: none!

...I never thought I would one day actually stay in a Hotel in Nice, France. It's not that I do not go regularly to France, quite on contrary, I just never saw anything special about this city. For me, Nice was just the airport or gateway to the world of Cannes, Antibes, Cap Ferrat, and off course, the stunning Monte Carlo. I found it much more interesting to re-discover the sandy shores of Cannes or the minimalist chic style of St Tropez, or the extravagant Moneguesque nightlife. The idea of this chilled out beach was not very appealing when compared to its neighbouring tourist hotspots. Being the self-titled "holiday booking disaster" that I am, I offcourse leave everything to the week previous to my departure and, therefore, must content myself with whatever is available. This vicious cicle seems to happen year-after-year of Cote D...

Review of Hotel Negresco, Nice

Nice hotel, be aware of transportation issues

Advantages: Nice rooms
Disadvantages: Transportation

...Location: The hotel it's situated in the north part of the Bucharest, which it's the nicest are and, of course, the most expensive. There is a lot of greenery here, lots of parks and lakes. The hotel is situated on the shore of Tei Lake and the vegetation around it really gives it a very nice look. Both airports in Bucharest are in the north part so the hotel it's only 10 minutes away from the Baneasa Airport (used more by low cost companies) and about 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the traffic, to the Otopeni Airport (commercial airlines). Very good location, however be aware that public transportation is not handy. To go and come from the hotel you will most likely have to use a taxi, which can be costly at times, depending on the distance. Make sure you ask the reception to call a company cab for you, private taxi are a rip off...

Review of Caro Hotel, Bucharest

Relax at the Radisson

Advantages: Nice hotel, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Expenisve, not much storage space in room

...~ Introduction ~ I recently returned from a holiday with my parents. We stayed in this Hotel in Nice, France. We stayed in a Radisson SAS in Amsterdam several years ago but other than remembering that it was a positive experience I don't remember a lot about it so I can't really compare the two. I was looking forward to staying in the hotel and I was pleased it was only 10-15 minutes away from the airport by taxi. My dad booked the hotel (along with the flights) online and he also booked out taxi so it was there waiting to pick us up at the airport. The taxi fare was charged to our hotel bill. After we landed and got our luggage we head out of the airport to meet the taxi driver. He was standing with a card which had our surname written on and he directed us outside where we had to stand 5-10 minutes before getting in the taxi...
