The Royal Albion Hotel, Brighton

Advantages: great location, cheap, nice rooms, excellent food
Disadvantages: no parking, quite dated

...Introduction to the hotel: The Royal Albion Hotel was built in 1826 and is situated in a fantastic location opposite Brighton pier. It is a three star hotel and has 186 guest rooms offering views of Brighton beach or the town centre. My experience of the hotel: I spent one night in the hotel in January of this year and for a three star hotel I was quite impressed. I and my girlfriend booked a double room for £55 and it was a spacious room with a four poster bed, couch, satellite television, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and a lovely modern bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath. When we checked in the hotel staff asked us if we would like to upgrade to a room with a Jacuzzi batch for £10, we said no, but were a bit intrigued to find one anyways - they had obviously given our room away and were trying to get the extra £10 out...

Royal Terrace Hotel

Advantages: Great location, lovely entrance areas
Disadvantages: very shabby in bedrooms

...there is a hotel with a similar name. We tried to get in (it was locked) and even buzzed for the porter- too late we noticed the sign telling us that this was not the Royal Terrace Hotel. We found our hotel a bit further down the street, and after parking the car, went in. I have to mention that a down side to this hotel is that it doesn?t have a car park, and the car has to be parked on the street. We aren?t ?precious? about the car, but didn?t fancy having it towed a way, although the man assured us that over the weekend it would be fine?it was! ~~Address and Location~~ 18 Royal Terrace Edinburgh EH7 5AQ It is actually situated a very short walk from the city centre, so no need to get taxis or buses. ~~Entrance and checking in~~ The entrance to the hotel is very modern- all brown and cream, very clean, with sofas...

Royal connections but not that luxurious -Durham Marriott hotel

Advantages: Comfortable, convenient for city sight seeing
Disadvantages: luke warm bath water and average food in restaurant

...Durham Marriot Hotel Royal County Old Elvert, Durham DH1 3JN A BIT OF SCENE SETTING: This hotel is part of the Marriott chain but is an old hotel which was once the home of Elizabeth Bowes an ancestor of the Queen Mother. Apparently it was often visited when it was privately owned by Edward VII when he was up in Durham. It has had quite a large series of extensions and now boasts 150 bedrooms, some of which are suites and family rooms all and have en suite bathrooms ( As you might expect in a hotel I would have thought). This is a four star hotel right in the centre of Durham so perfect for a city break as you can park your car in the hotel (complimentary) car park and walk round the city which is very compact and just a hop over the road from the hotel. We booked on the internet and got a special deal for two night?s bed...

royal station hotel

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: --

...****Royal Station Hotel-Newcastle**** Initially my friend and i booked into a Travelodge but we decided very quickly that we needed another hotel and this is the one we ended up staying in. **Location/Getting there** This hotel is located right next to the train station which is fantastic,nothing worse than a long journey followed by having to find a hotel.There is loads of places to eat nearby,plenty to see and do.The bus station is also quite nearby and would take about 10 minutes to walk too. **Reception/staff** The hotel looks really nice from the outside-a grand looking building.Reception looks really nice with big chandlers hanging from the ceiling and there are two lifts.Staff were nice and i had the option of paying straight away or when i checked out. **Hotel/Room** The room i stayed in was a twin room and it had...

The Hotel Royal Kenz, Tunisia

Advantages: Very Clean, Good Food
Disadvantages: A Fair Distance From The Main Resort

...The Hotel Royal Kenz in the Resort of Port El Kantaoui in Tunisia was recently my Home for 7 nights between the 2nd and 9th July 2006. The Holiday itself was a last minute booking but the Girl at the Travel Agent's said that She had stayed at this Hotel and that it was superb. The price for the total package, including Flights and transfers was incredibly cheap at just under £200 Half Board for 7 nights and so the booking was made. FIRST IMPRESSIONS I had seen a picture of the Hotel in the Brochure so I knew that this was one of the largest Hotels in the Resort with 405 Rooms. I also knew that it had only three Floors and that it was therefore spread out over quite a wide area within its own Grounds. On arriving in the Resort the first point to note was that the Hotel was quite a distance from the main hub of the Resort...

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...

The hotel with Royal connections

Advantages: Location, history, friendly owners
Disadvantages: Not open in winter

...This review of the Pannanich Wells Hotel is a more brief history of the place than a review. I know the owners & it wouldn?t be an impartial review if I was to write about the hotel. The history of the place is interesting as is the location of the nearest town called Ballater. PANNANICH WELLS HOTEL Ballater has become famous for its royal connections (more about that later) but long before Queen Victoria came to the area it was made famous as being another British spa town, providing water that healed. It still runs today from the Pannanich Wells on the east side, south of the River Dee. It?s now bottled as Deeside water & sold around the world including in supermarkets such as Tesco & Sainsbury?s. It has become very popular recently after two independent tests confirmed that it really does have healing properties in...

Shamble, Hotel Royal Albion

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything

...Having stayed at the Royal Albion Brighton for two nights at £288 I agree it would have been similar staying at a local hostel and far cheaper. The room was discusting, shabby, dusty and dirty and also smelled of sick and far long over due for a redeck with wall paper pealing off in various places, the bed cover was only fit for a dog basket. I paid the extra for a sea view room and balcony which was very good, though double glazing should be a must as it was right over the busy highway and walkway for the seafront. The furniture is very dated so dont go by the glossy photo in the add as this was probably taken 20 years ago. The walls are waifer thin as you can here every thing tha goes on, I mean everything! Most of the staff are foreign though that not a problem however try asking for finer details such as were a cash point...

Royal Park Hotel, Elenite, Bulgaria

Advantages: The Aqua Park
Disadvantages: bad standard of service

...The nature in Elenite is really very,very beautiful. There is a big forest and great views. In the past Elenite was one of the best Holiday Villages in Bulgaria. I was in Royal Park Hotel, Elenite in the autumn of 2009 and I don't want to go there again. This is an enormous Hotel and the nature is hidden and lost behind the walls. Restaurant (cantine) and food There is no choice and the quality of the food is doubtful. Some of my colleagues had problems with the stomach. There are no more than two fresh salads. You must look for a clean plate. The tomatoes for example are not for salad. These are cheap tomatoes used for producing preserved food and puree. Rooms The rooms are not cosy at all. The bathroom and the whole room are not clean. There is a mould in tha bathroom. Some of the rooms have a good view but if you don...

I stayed in a Royal hotel that must make me queen

Advantages: Great location, good value for money & nice food
Disadvantages: Horrible bathrooms

...For my 21st Birthday my boyfriend and I were planning to go to London to get my Birthday present. We decided to drive down which I though would be too long to drive there and back on the same day so we opted to drive down the night before and book into a hotel. So the day before (the night we wanted to stay) I spent 3 hours trawling the Internet looking for somewhere suitable. It was quite difficult really, as we needed somewhere that wasn't too bad but in a good area close to the tube. At the last minute all the decent hotels were full which left a lot of 2 star hostel type hotels, which had some pretty horrible reviews. After a painful time I finally came across the Royal National Hotel which seemed half decent well there wasn't reports of rooms being ransacked put it that way. THE ROYAL NATION HOTEL The Royal National Hotel is...
