Our Perfect Stay In Prague

Advantages: Convenient location, lovely apartment, good value for money
Disadvantages: Outside of building could do with a re - vamp

...For my boyfriend's birthday last year, I booked us both tickets to Prague for a 5 day break in December. After booking the flights, I then needed to find somewhere to stay. I looked around on the internet and found that if you wanted to stay close to the attractions, then the hotel cost was going to be very expensive. I carried on looking through the website and eventually came across a website for Old Town Apartments. Old Town Apartments Old Town Apartments own a number of apartments in various parts of Prague. These range from studio apartments to apartments that sleep up to eight people. I booked a studio apartment as we obviously only needed the one bedroom. Booking Our Stay Booking our apartment was really simple. I literally logged onto their website, entered the dates I needed to stay and also which sort of apartment I...

Bikers and car lovers head for Old Town.

Advantages: Free parking and no entrance fee.
Disadvantages: You have to pay for each ride.

...Everyone does Disney, SeaWorld, and Universal, when they go to the Orlando area. This can be very costly, especially for a family. Fancy a cheap few hours out, then go to Old Town in Kissimmee. You can't miss it. It has the Ferris wheel at the entrance, and that's how we would give directions. Not only can you see this on U.S.192 but it now has the 'Sling Shot' too. Two brightly illuminated towers stretching up in the air 365 feet. If you are brave enough to do this ride it will cost you $25 (13 pounds 85 pence). However, just look in any of the coupon books, dozens around in shops, restaurants, etc, and you will get either $5 off or a free T-Shirt . Recently they have put two more scary rides at the front of Old Town to entice people in If you are into crazy rides of a lifetime there is also 'Skycoaster'. This is advertised as...

Review of Old-Town, Kissimmee

Christmas In The Old Town

Advantages: Beautiful Xmas Market, Great Personal Memories
Disadvantages: Crowded

...When I was booking a weekend away for my girlfriend and myself to Prague, I have to admit to not knowing a lot about the city and what it had to offer. I had heard of the Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square but one place that will always hold great memories for me is the Old Town Square. Situated on the Eastern banks of the river Vltava, the area of Stare Mestro is the traditional heart of Prague and at its middle is this wonderful town square. Now, had I visited at another time of year then I think that my review would be quite short and of little interest as the square, based on what I have read, for the majority of the year is a pleasant but large expanse of empty space. On its sides you will find the fascinating Astronomical clock that is sure to draw a crowd, particularly on the hour, the Tyn Church that among other things is...

Review of Old Town Square, Prague

Apartment smelled of drains

Advantages: Nice pool, pleasanr helpful staff, appartment very clean
Disadvantages: Bathroom stunk of drains, kitchen antiquated, no kettle, toaster or hairdryer

...WHERE IS THIS RESORT: The Jardim 1 is an older resort in Albufiera near the old part of town in the Algarve in Portugal. A BIT OF HISTORY BEHIND OUR HOLIDAY: We booked this break through a ?bargain? special arrangement through a company called Resort point Services and had had a few problems with the so this was a sort of ? Let?s do this or lose our money? sort of decision. We had no choice of accommodation and we going to go where they put us. Two days before our departure they phoned to say our accommodation was being changed from the Bahia Plaza to the Jardim 1 in Albufiera. I looked up Jardim 1 and there were mixed comments but that is often the case so I packed extra shampoo, conditioner, soap etc and I gathered there would not be freebies. We also put in our beach towels and we suspected that there would not be pool towels. (I did...

Hostel Alur - a tempting option

Advantages: Good value, great location, clean modern rooms
Disadvantages: Cluttered kitchen and iffy fridges

...Old Town Hostel Alur is situated as the name suggests in Vana Tallinn - Old Tallinn. Well just about, it's within the old walls and is two minutes walk from the main square, Raekoja Plats. There are one or two hostels nearer the centre but it's nothing worth quibbling over. Alur's sign is rather modest and as it has no windows at eye level you could easily miss it. Entrance is by door buzzer and reception is on the first floor so it's straight up the stairs when you arrive. The reception area is tiny; squeeze in more than two backpackers with rucksacks and you'll be falling over each others legs and luggage. We hadn't booked and wanted a double for three nights and they offered us a room on the top floor - basically in the eaves - for the first night, after which there would be a better room on the first floor for the other two...

Review of Old Town Alur, Tallinn

Estella Hotel and Apartments Did NOT Disappoint!

Advantages: Excellent location, superb customer service levels and lovely rooms
Disadvantages: No real facilities for the disabled

...Estella Hotel Apartments is based in Limassol in Southern Cyprus where I stayed for 6 nights in late April/early May of 2009 with my cousin. The booking was made via Expedia.co.uk and worked out at approximately £200 for 2 of us sharing a twin apartment (just £100 each basically). Before I confirmed the booking through Expedia I went off and did a bit of research on the hotel to make sure I wasn?t getting something that was cockroach infested. The hotel?s website, although fairly basic in appearance, made the hotel look pleasant enough and I sent an email to the hotel asking what amenities were included in the rooms/apartments. I received a reply in very clear English very promptly and then started a chain of emails between myself and the very helpful contact at Estella, a lovely lady called Helen (who was away in Australia during...

QUAINT OLD TOWN

Advantages: nice place
Disadvantages: not that much to do

...of the frequent Ferry crossings. Also you can get to Brussels by Train in 45 minutes, so you may find that people who fly into Brussels come down to see the quaint old town which is Bruges. Yes Bruges is known as the Venice of the North, for the reasons of their canals. You cannot see water or canals everywhere though. I find that you only see this down past the market square, or in another part which was close by to the Hotel we always used to stay in. The picture that Dooyoo have up is the part that was near our Hotel, which was about a 10 minute walk from the Market Square. You will mostly smell 3 smells in Bruges. 1. The smell of the sewers. This could be down to the fact about the water being quite open with the wide Canals. The water looks murky and you see the green mildew markings on the buildings where the water is lapping against...

Review of Brugge

* Ghost Town *

Advantages: Funny in places
Disadvantages: Not Funny throughout

..."He Sees dead people?and they annoy him" Bertam Pincus is a dentist. During an operation he "dies" for seven minutes but then comes back to life with the ability to see ghosts. You'd think that it would be pretty cool to see ghosts and be able to talk to them when no one else could see or talk to them. Although Pincus isn't too happy with his 'new-found-talent' ; watch Ghost Town to find out why! I'd read "quick" reviews about Ghost Town in various magazine and although I had a rough idea of what the movie was about , it wasn't a movie that I was planning on going to see at the cinema. It wasn't until I watched an episode of Friday Night With Jonathon Ross a few weeks back, where Ricky Gervais was a guest and promoting his new film , that I decided I wanted to see this film. It was the clip of the 'dog scene' that got me going! I...

Review of Ghost Town (DVD)

Welcome To Lazy Town

Advantages: Great Fun and strong messages being sent to kids.
Disadvantages: None

...it 1st came out. I should say that you could find one cheaper. I brought mine from WH-Smiths and again most places will sell this. My Thoughts Well apart from the music that is annoying but you cant help but sing along Lazy Town is great for kids. I like the fact that it helps to encourage kids to eat fresh fruit and vegetables and exercise. As well as the cheery songs there is also brilliant dance routines to go with them. These are easy for kids to learn and dance along too. The only downfall really with this show is that each episodes are pretty much the same. Though I suppose when you are 3 or 4 years old you don't really notice that. Recommend 100% a great buy and any kid would love it....
