...SAINT MICHAELS MOUNT lies just off the Coast near Penzance. I will start off by giving their web site address. http://www.stmichaelsmount.co.uk/ This is an excellent site that gives a full History and Story of the Mount and I recommend a look for those details as my review is more about our experience. We have visited the Mount on numerous occassions, starting with our first visit to Cornwall in 1969 as a Courting Couple (Thats an old fashioned term). Other visits followed over the years with first one child, then two then three. And more recently with one of the Grand Chilren. But each and every time it has its Magic. Each time the weather will be different. Also the tide and it is this that can alter the way you visit the Mount. The Mount became an Island in about 2000 B.C. and at low tide can be walked across...

Advantages: Very close to Perth city, stunning views, ultra modern......
Disadvantages: Room service got you up far too early!

...The apartments are a 20 minute drive from the airport and with the aid of a map we were able to find them quite easily. The Mounts bay waters apartments are situated on Mounts Bay road which is adjacent to two of Perths greatest attractions - the Swan River and Kings Park and is also just a few minutes stroll to the Perth central business district and also (more importantly if you like retail therapy) the shops! Mounts Bay Waters apartments - also known as Mounts bay village, comprises of a number of buildings which house both hotel guests and residents. Upon arrival we were quite excited as everywhere looked wonderful, not to mention clean, the reason for our excitement I will leave for another review, lets just say that our apartments in the last city, melbourne, didnt live up to expectations! Anyway, There were six... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, student friendly location
Disadvantages: location can be rough at times

...! Beware of book fines however, these can mount up pretty fast (I suppose as an incentive to use online renewals more). ACCOMMODATION I can't really comment on the uni managed accommodation as I have never stayed there, I have only stayed in landlord managed. This however was decent, yet basic, and the area offers some of the cheapest uni accommodation around. However the area itself can be rough and noisy, and expect shouting in the middle of the night from not so quiet neighbours in some areas. On the good side most accommodation is but a short walk from town, eliminating the cost of taxis. I would be careful walking in areas of Middlesbrough at night, but then again that is true of most places. FACILITIES Uni facilities very from ultra modern to pretty old. Subjecys such as sciences, computing, health and social care and sports... Read review

Advantages: Great views, lifetime experience
Disadvantages: Too high.

...Going up the hill... If you want to get a train to the top, and buy a badge to say you did it at the peak visitor centre, youre in the wrong place. Up and down in 3 days, as we did it, is a seriously bad idea, with altitude sickness and so on, the only possible way to climb is to take 6 steps forward and two back - there is no ammount of training that can prepare a couch potato to do this, you must be fit in body and mind, and then make your peace with whoever before you go get to the top. On route to the summit of Mount Kenya there are a few lodges, one, about half way up has its own porter who will share his food at a price. The billets are basic, sometimes with a dirty matteress, but expect to pay a renal price for this. The toilet facilities are usually a stinking \"long drop\" (hole in the floor) or simply using...

...as a television. We found the staff not very helpful and this opinion was backed up by lorry drivers who regulary stay there. We were given no information about safes or lockers available to us, we took the risk and left things in the room so I'm unsure about where to leave valuables here. Also we were told by the receptionist as we waited outside on a taxi to move down the street because one member in our company was smoking, she came outside on a freezing cold night to tell us this - very pushy!!! Location: Mount Eccles is located in North Great George Street just off lower O'connell Street, one of the main shopping areas in Dublin and smack bang in the centre of things. A leisurely 5 minute stroll will take you there. The street the building is in is a Georgian street and very pretty. At the end of the road there are many Chinese takeaways... Read review
