Pleasant stay at the St George

Advantages: Comfortable, attractive hotel with good range of facilities
Disadvantages: Location not the best, can be chaotic in the dining room

...and gym free but spa services at extra cost, as you would expect. Small shop and hairdressers also available. Range of sitting areas around the pool, plus grassy areas and rocky areas adjacent to the sea. Animation team worked hard to encourage participation in events but were very friendly and not pushy. Nightly entertainment of the usual variable standard, but also an enjoyable quiz. Balance of guests during out stay were mainly British, but also German, French and Russian guests were staying. Dining experience was the main downside. Breakfast was generally OK but disapointed that no omlettes etc could be made to order as is usual in this class of hotel. Only "omlettes" available had been baked in the oven in trays and were some 50mm thick - more like egg custard. We did not have lunch in the hotel, but took the evening meals as we were...

Review of Hotel St. George, Paphos

St Deny's, the clean hotel for my dirty weekend!

Advantages: Polite and helpful staff, clean hotel.
Disadvantages: Bed a bot on the small side for my husband.

...After an incredible weekend away with my darling husband to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary, I have now decided to do my first and quite possibly my last hotel review! Our destination of choice for this excursion was to be a place new to us, so of course the hotel had to be in a prime location at a price we could afford?fortunately we seemed to fall on our feet so to speak on both of these points. Our destination, to be exact was York, and due to the sheer number of attractions available to us, we wanted a hotel reasonably central, or at least within walking distance of the few sights we wished to see. After some extensive research, mostly through the designated York tourist board site, we came across the perfect hotel. St Denys hotel, a small but very quaint hotel, housing 13 rooms only, but with it?s own parking...

Review of St Denys Hotel, York

worst hotel complex in malta,St Georges Hotel

Advantages: ?????
Disadvantages: food,noise,rooms,swimming pools,position in fact everything

...Our last minute "allocated on arrival" holiday was cheap. The courier told us that the St Georges Park Hotel was in a lively part of town, with easy access to the whole of the island. The entrance to the hotel was impressive but not grand, and the tired 1960s foyer suggested to us what the rest of the hotel was like. We slowly, as the lift only had two speeds (extremely slow and stop), rose to the eighth floor and trundled our luggage along the dark and dismal corridor to our apartment. I use the term advisedly because the room was fairly grim. Its cold tiled floor housed two single beds that would not have been out of place in a local homeless centre's dormitory. They were covered with bedding that I think must have been purchased when the hotel was built. It was clean but extremely thin and in need of replacement. There was a TV...

MERTON HOTEL, ST SAVIOUR JERSEY

Advantages: lovely food, polite staff, great swimming pool
Disadvantages: no sea view, small television

...My husband and I have just spent 5 nights at the Merton Hotel in St Saviour in Jersey, Channel Islands. We stayed from Sundary 2 September 2007 to Friday 7 September 2007 and we had a great stay. The Merton Hotel is owned by Seymour Hotels and is a 3 star hotel. Jersey have their own system of rating hotels which is different to the UK, but the ratings are of a very high standard. We stayed in a double ensuite room and we had free half board for the price of bed and breakfast. We booked through Condor Ferries and took our own car and paid a total of £769 for the trip (£79 of which was for the car ferry travel). OUR BEDROOM +++++++++++++++ Our room was plainly and pleasantly decorated, with chrome light fittings everywhere. The furniture was ample, being a built in wardrobe, dressing table and chest of drawers...

Review of Merton Hotel, St. Saviour

The George Hotel

Advantages: Good food, pleasant staff and good prices
Disadvantages: the ghostly feeling

...Whilst visiting friends in Lydd in Kent, we stayed at "The George hotel" a large hotel built in a very small town. When we went to the hotel, you can feel the characteristics and you can see some original features, we paid before we took our luggage up and the prices to stay for a double room is £45.00, a single room is £25.00, win is £45.00 and a room for a family of 3/4 is £55/£60. You can also have the choice to have breakfast there which was from £3.50 - £6.95 and of course you can't stay at a hotel without having there fry up!! The staff showed us our way up to our room, the place felt very strange and weird. As you walk along the narrow hallway on the top floor it was creaky and dim, you can even see that the flooring was slanted, it looked very spooky to me. We had a double bedroom with a TV and DVD player, tea and coffee...

Review of George Hotel, Lydd

St George The Patron Saint of Sainsburys

Advantages: It's by possibly the best overall brewery around, it's relatively cheap
Disadvantages: It's a mix of better Youngs beers, and the sum of the parts don;t make the whole, it's also exclusive to Sainsbury's, which means a 14 mile drive for me!

...St George – patron saint of England. Symbol of English spirit, bravery in the face of adversity, stiff upper lip. What better personification of this great land to choose for a thoroughly English ale? And so we have Young’s St George’s. Never heard of it? No, well neither have I! Having seen this ale mentioned in the hallowed lists of ciao, I felt pangs of guilt that I hadn’t even heard of this ale. Even worse was that it was brewed by the fair hands of Young’s, whose Double Chocolate Stout, London Ale, Waggle Dance and Old Nick all feature regularly in my beer cupboard restocking (yes, I do have a cupboard just for beer!) The shame of it. Would people point and whisper behind my back if they knew I hadn’t heard of this ale? Would ciao members in their hundreds turn their backs on my ops, even those loyal few who know of my addictions...

Review of Young's St. George's Ale

Cracking night's sleep, by George!

Advantages: Comfortable, historic hotel
Disadvantages: Bar shuts too early!

...Thanks to the ticket touts (aka parasitic scum), I couldn't get tickets to any of the Manic Street Preachers' London gigs on their recent tour. As the Manics are a band that seem to be constantly on the verge of retirement, you don't like to miss an opportunity to see them live, so I booked the Reading concert. Over the years, I've decided my least favourite aspect of going to concerts is travelling home afterwards - ever since my sister threw up in the car somewhere in Somerset on the way back from the Newport leg of Radioheard's Big Tent Tour. So I decided to book a hotel, and I decided I wanted a NICE hotel. The George Hotel is apparently the oldest building in Reading. It's incredibly easy to find, right at the heart of the town centre, and about a ten minute walk from the train station. From the outside, it looks like some...

Review of The George Hotel, Reading

By George, it's good!

Advantages: Reasonably priced, good location, good range of facilities, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Decor is tired and old; bathroom could have been cleaner

...I have just stayed here for one night, on business. LOCATION The hotel is very easy to find, being on the A61 through Harrogate (the Ripon Road). It is centrally located so you can walk into the touristy bits of Harrogate from here if you want. It is right next to the International Convention Centre, which is where I imagine it gets a lot of business - that's why I went there. Its central location is a good point. It is a beautiful Edwardian manor house, in nice grounds. FACILITIES It has the usual dining room, bar etc, and a leisure suite too. It has a quite a small swimming pool and a gym and weights room, plus a sauna. This is all useful stuff, if you were staying a bit longer than one night, but I didn't try and of it so sorry I can't comment. It did all look clean and there were obviously plenty of towels etc...

Review of Swallow Saint George Hotel, Harrogate

Slaying St George

Advantages: Sadistic - great viewing
Disadvantages: Can't smell the money

...TV - Dragons Den Reality TV Show - BBC TWO - 9- 10 pm Monday nights BBC TWO repeats it at 7:00 pm on the following Tuesday URL link - http://www.bbc.co.uk/dragonsden/ Current Dragons: Duncan Bannatyne, James Caan, Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Theo Paphitis Titled: Slaying St George ---------++++++++++++------ St George certainly wouldn't understand this TV concept in fact he would of thought we had gone completely mad. For a start he wouldn't be able to get up the stairs with his horse and the only weapon required is the word as the sword. A killer sales pitch that would mesmerize the dragons into handing over their business know-how and wads of cash; one of the hidden agendas in this program is the steep see through stairs and squash-ball hitting sound effects that greet the entrepreneurs if you can call them...

Crowne Plaza St James - A Great London Hotel Happy to See You

Advantages: Great Location. Excellent standard of service. Relatively good value for London.
Disadvantages: No Pool. That's about it!

...INTRODUCTION I booked dinner and theatre for my wife's thirtieth birthday, and needed a relatively up-market hotel in London - with a bit of ?wow? factor - to overnight in. I am a frequent visitor to IC Hotel Group properties on business (these include the five star Intercontinental Hotels, the four to five star Crowne Plaza, and the three to four star Holiday Inn) and am a member of their award-winning ?Priority Club? loyalty scheme, so I decided to use my accumulated points to redeem a ?Reward Night? and stay for free. The hotel is on Buckingham Gate, with extensive frontage featuring an attractive red and white brick façade with decorative arches, reminiscent of Florentine architecture. GETTING TO & FROM The hotel is in the heart of Westminster. It?s a short, three minute, walk from St James? Park Tube...
