Park Central Hotel

Advantages: Superb location, comfortable accomodation, helpful staff
Disadvantages: No major disadvantages to the actual hotel itself

...In "the city that never sleeps," especially if you're visiting for the first time, it's all about site-seeing, shopping, and taking advantage of New York's endless amount of restuarants. So when choosing a hotel, it's all about location! I took my first ever visit to New York (and certainly not my last, taking into consideration the amazing time I had there) in February 2007, for a school trip, and stayed in Park Central Hotel. FIRST IMPRESSIONS I was delighted when we first arrived at the Park Central hotel - the immaculate lobby and reception area, with brown leather sofas and sparkling floor tiles, was classy and modern. We were greeted by friendly staff who gave us our room keys, and we went off up the lifts (we didn't fancy taking the stairs, having being accomodated on numerous floors up the building!) to our room...

Review of Park Central, New York City

Central Park, Peterborough.

Advantages: An oasis in the city
Disadvantages: None that I know

...I have lived in Peterborough for 37 years, and the Central Park has always been the place to take your children, photos of the park go back to Victorian times and the actual layout has not changed since then. For one it cannot get any bigger as it is in the older central part of the city with buildings all around, though this does not distract from the Park itself. The Park is one large circle with a very wide road around the outside. There are four gates, entry points to the Park and about ten yards in an inner footpath that goes around the Park. The four gates all have footpaths that lead to the centre which is a large flower bed that has a willow tree, this my husband tells me was planted some time in the 60's as there used to be a band stand on the same spot. It seems that the demise of the band caused the band stand to be...

Review of Central Park, Peterborough

Victoria Park Plaza Hotel, London It's More Than A Hotel!

Advantages: Pleasant Staff, Good Customer Service, Nice Breakfast
Disadvantages: Expensive

...also room for the guest staying for a short break. The food was delicious and the breakfast was plentiful with a range of choice for the continental breakfast. The food was fresh and tasty. It was served at the correct temperature and filled me up for the whole morning. You could eat as much or as little as you wanted and nobody would give you any hassle or rush you. The juice was fresh and tasty and it wasn't out of a carton. There was so much choice and everyone seemed to be enjoying the breakfasts. Victoria Park Plaza is centrally located just 2 minutes from Victoria Underground, Gatwick Express and National Rail station, with direct services to central London, Gatwick Airport and the South of England. The hotel is within walking distance of some of London's main attractions including Buckingham Palace, Harrods in Knightsbridge...

The pleasent Park Hotel

Advantages: Excellent food, brilliant service & good value
Disadvantages: Can be quite expensive if you are trying to work to a budget

...The hotel park is a good large 3* hotel it is of a very high standard & much more like a 4* hotel. The hotel Park is situated in the old part of Rovinj overlooking the island of St Catherine. ADDRESS: I.M Ronjigova bb Rovinj 52210 Croatia TELEPHONE NUMBER: 003852 811077 FAX NUMBER: 003852 816 977 EMAIL ADDRESS: park@jadran.tdr.hr WEB ADDRESS: www.adriaresorts.hr FIRST IMPRESSIONS ? Once you arrive from the airport after the 2.5 hour flight to Croatia you pull up outside the Hotel Park & from the front of the hotel it looks very big & quite sophisticated. There are about 5 steps up to the reception, which is quite difficult when you have to carry your own luggage. Once you are at the entrance of the hotel you are faced with a large open space. There is a nice marble floor...

Review of Hotel Park, Rovinj

Central Park away from hussle and bustle

Advantages: Good to get away from crowds of people
Disadvantages: Can't walk in at night

...I only spent half a day in Central park and it definately wasnt long enough. Not living in a city myself I felt it strange being in a park and seeing skyscaper buildings all at the same time.The place is alot bigger than I had initially thought. I got a horse and carriage ride through central park which I thought was nice however it wasnt a very long trip on it maybe 10 or 15mins maximum. I could have walked around the ciruit they go however our carriage driver did give us some information on the sights that we seen. I was on the bridge they use in the film Home Alone which was nice to see plus I seen the skating rink however we could not go on it as it had been raining and it was not safe to do so.This would only be interesting if you like seeing where they have filmed things. If not it is just a nice walk away from the hussle...

Review of Central Park

Central Park Zoo

Advantages: Great
Disadvantages: None

...We went to the central park zoo when we were in New York the other week. It was a lot of fun and the animals were beautiful. it was obvious that the animals were very hot though and this came across quite cruel. Any way, the animals looked well looked after, but due to the heat I did think that they would be a little too hot. The snow leopard was gorgeous, she was the most gorgeous animal that I have ever seen. She spent most of the time trying to hide from the heat, but we still got some amazing pictures of her. An amazing zoo, one that I would recommend that you check out if you get to the states, it is cheap as well at only $8. parkfielsd-2006...

Review of Central Park Zoo, New York

Woodlands Park Hotel - Excellent Value for Money

Advantages: Great ambience, fantastic service, good food.
Disadvantages: We couldn't stay longer!

...INTRODUCTION My wife and I were looking to do something special for our fifth wedding anniversary and decided that we fancied a dinner and room package somewhere fairly close to home. We had never left our toddler daughter overnight before, so we needed somewhere within short driving distance from the in-laws, just in case there were any problems whilst baby-sitting. A few months before, a friend of ours had recommended the Woodland Park Hotel, near the village of Stoke D?Abernon. It is one of the many properties in the Handpicked Hotels chain, so I looked up their web-site and signed up to their e-mail service, which sends general news and offers on all of the hotels in the chain, about two or three times a month. Fortunately, a timely offer popped into my inbox, and at £149 for two people, in a superior room, including a three...

Review of Woodlands Park Hotel, Cobham

Chilston Park Hotel

Advantages: Beautiful, lovely food, romantic, intimate.
Disadvantages: Inadequate service.

...I decided to stay at the Chilston Park hotel by accident really. On lastminute.com they have this promo called 'Top Secret Hotels,' this basically means that they tell you where you are staying in terms of location but don't tell you the name of the hotel until after you book. After looking for top secret hotels near me, I decided I would crack the system. There was a short description of the hotel on the website; some person had named the restaurant in the 'secret' hotel so I googled the restaurant and it came up with Chilston park. It was £77 but I decided to look on the actual website for Chilston Park. I saw a deal £99 for a stay on a Thursday night with a three course meal, champagne and canopes and breakfast. I booked this deal for two people. I stayed here on the 22nd January 2009 with my boyfriend for his birthday. *About...

Forest Park Hotel - Platres - Cyprus - Simply Brilliant

Advantages: Family Friendly - Exceptional Service - Great Value and Location
Disadvantages: None

...other tourist hot spots, but also makes for some challenging walking (both uphill and down). The town is well served by the usual amenities ? it?s chock full of taverna?s and eateries of varying distinction, as well as craft shops, tat shops, a couple of local banks, a pharmacy, a tourist information office based at the town hall (useful for local excursions) and a police station. There are also a couple of small arcades, which have rides for toddlers and young children, air hockey, table football video games and other amusements. INITIAL IMPRESSIONS OF THE PROPERTY The excellent, family-run, Forest Park Hotel, the only four star property in Plátres, is on the outskirts of the town, and, after passing through an archway with the hotel name tastefully emblazoned on it, you drive up a winding, pine tree lined drive, past the pool...

Review of Forest Park Hotel, Cyprus

Royal Park Hotel

Advantages: Beach Location
Disadvantages: Dirty

...Royal Park Hotel When went her the year 2008 in August for 2 weeks. The first impressions of the hotel is, it look lovely and clean. Well I couldn't be more wrong. The hotel is nice, but it is very tired looking. It is situated on its own beach which is good, and they were always plenty of sun loungers, which was good considering the amount of people in the hotel. After a few days, I realised why. Which I will explain further down in the review. Firstly, I will explain the layout of the hotel. You walked in the a very large reception area which high ceilings and winding staircase which when up to the second floor bedrooms which is where we were. There were also bedrooms downstairs. When we arrived at 2.30 am in the morning we were all tired as you can imagine as we were delayed going out. We arrive to...
