The taste of Seville or the taste of *****?

Advantages: Orange taste is nice.
Disadvantages: Combination of flavours doesn't work. Poor quality chocolate and lack of smell.

...Wandering round my local discount shop as I tend do in the day before paydays bout of poverty I come across the Kit Kat Seville Edition. I have never been a big fan of Nestle chocolate and tend to find it all a little bit sickly sweet but the Kit Kat Seville edition promised, "An explosion of flavour in every bite". A heady claim methinks but a picture of oranges and the inside of a chocolate covered wafer oozing with caramelised orange swayed me (that and the fact it was twenty pence rather than thirty-five). Wrapped it looks like an orange Kit Kat Chunky and is around the same size. As I peel open the wrapper I reveal a slab of chocolate that looks precisely like a Kit Kat Chunky, thick and brick like but generously sized. I am disappointed at a complete lack of smell. Considering the claims of flavour explosions I was...

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...

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...

YOU WON'T GET TANGOED IN SEVILLE

Advantages: Totally YUMMY!!!!
Disadvantages: Too expensive for everyday!!

...A couple of months ago, I had to go into hospital for some tests, just my usual 3 yearly investigation to make sure all is OK (I have Ulcerative Colitis). I am required to starve for 2 days and take a Picolax, a strong laxative on the second day, so I’m obviously not at my best at this time! Before the 2 days begin, I always pop off to Sainsbury’s to stock up on interesting drinks, I can have clear drinks, clear in this sense means drinks without bit in rather than see-through. I came upon in the drinks department a Seville Orange Jiggler. My partner and I had just returned a few weeks earlier from Seville (where interestingly there are loads of lime trees on the streets and very few orange trees, but that is another story!) So I purchased this in a sort of ‘I’m feeling sorry for myself so I’ll...

CARMONA (not a back-seat driver)

Advantages: More history than you can shake a centurion's spear at
Disadvantages: May be too quiet for some

...of Granada. But enough of the past, let's explore the town in the present. The reason we had decided to stay here was two-fold, but simple. We wanted to be close to the Seville area, but still be in a semi-rural situation; we also managed to find a great deal on an absolute cracker of a hotel in the town, the Alcazar de la Reina. I think I mentioned in my review of the hotel that the streets in the old town are extremely narrow, but it's worth repeating. The streets are extremely narrow. Finding the hotel, or most other places for that matter, is relatively easy though because there's a good system of signposts which direct you to anything worth seeing. It's still an experience driving through the incredibly narrow lanes though. Checked-in, baggage deposited and freshened-up inside and out, we explored the town. First stop...

A SEVILLE-Y NASTY CHOCOLATE BAR

Advantages: None at all
Disadvantages: Taste, look, smell, price

...You know, I have sat quietly by and watched as bastion after bastion of my life has been tampered with or bastardised. And no more so than in the food sector has this been apparent where I have had to accept the fact that Marathons are now to be called Snickers and Opal Fruits are to be forever known as Starbursts. I grinned and bared it as Maltesers were produced in a vile white chocolate version and KitKats took on a steroid type look by going chunky, but now I?m going to stand up and shout ?thus far and no further, stop tampering with perfectly good confectionary products!? Why have I finally decided to break my silence you ask? Well it?s simple really, I have before me one of the most disagreeable and loathsome spawns of a household name in chocolate, it is called KitKat editions Seville orange and is without doubt the most vile...

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...

sachas hotel

Advantages: good price,great location
Disadvantages: no window

...****Sachas hotel- Manchester**** I booked this hotel last minute as i had a job interview in Manchester and needed somewhere quite cheap ,that was also near the centre. **Location/Getting there** This hotel is located in Tibb street which is a 2 minute walk from Piccadily Gardens or 10 minutes away from Chorlton street bus station.The Train station is a little bit further away say maybe a twenty minute walk but i don't think that this is that bad .You can also get a tram from Piccadily gardens and this goes to quite a few places.You could also get a taxi to the hotel but i am not sure what parking is like if you were to take your own car. **Reception/staff** Since i had never been to Manchester before i phoned and asked the staff for directions -they were very nice and helped me out.When i got there i think i got the same...

ONE FOR THE HOTEL INSPECTOR

Advantages: Location, price & views
Disadvantages: Standard of rooms, maintenance issues, no parking & pretty much no standards

...AND PRICES I went through a few major hotel websites and came across The Claremont Lions, which seemed a reasonable price and sounded like it was well situated and of a good standard compared to the rest of the hotels in Eastbourne. Well the write up made it sound like an amazing standard but having stayed in a lot of hotels I know that's normally nothing to go by. After deciding on the hotel we were going to use I set about getting some comparables and came up with the hotels own website being the most expensive at £80, Lastminute.com at £69 and Hotel pronto at £59 which seemed really reasonable especially as I could get 8% cash back from the cash back website I use. It was simple to book online it took my 2 minutes to complete my details and my payment information. I was then sent an email confirmation and the hotel voucher. Booking online...
