A hotel with a magnificent view

Advantages: Location, views, food, quality of accomodation... no more room left to write!!!
Disadvantages: none

...back in 1971 by a local farmer and a local baker. Then it was a small service area with just 28 members of staff. In 2005 it has grown to a multi-sited operation and employs over 500 people. They boast the consistency of their values. They are dedicated to both their individuality and quality. The buildings are built by local builders and use the majority of local materials. *** HOTEL DETAILS *** ETC 3 star, AA 73%.

Grand View Garden Hotel

Advantages: beautiful gardens free to visit, good location, very clean and polite staff
Disadvantages: expensive internet

...four that is. Anyway back to the hotel, it is named the grand view gardens because out the back is a huge garden which was infact used for a television show in china! It is free for those who stay in the hotel but if your not staying in there you have to pay. We spent a good couple of hours walking round it all. there is a huge man made lake in the middle with lots of trees and little chinese buildings and ornaments around. There is also a small animal 'zoo' which was quite nice. Peacocks, rabbits, guinea pigs, deers, goats, monkeys etc. It was quite sad though because all the animals were so hungry and the staff sell food to visitors so you can feed them - so we did - and most of it! it was gone in a few seconds. Definalty worth visiting the gardens as they area beautiful, and in the evening there are shows. We didnt stay in the evening...

Review of Grand View Garden Hotel, Beijing

A fantastic hotel with a splendid view

Advantages: Beautiful scenery - great restaurant
Disadvantages: a little pricey - rooms a little out dated

...We had the pleasure of being invited to my husband's best friends traditional Swedish wedding in Hjortnas, Sweden which was to take place on the shores of Lake Siljan which is the seventh largest lake in Sweden. As Hjortnas is a small village in the countryside, there was little room for all of the guests to stay with the family, we therefore took the recommendation of the groom and booked this charming four star hotel for two nights last August. *Arrival & check in* It took us two hours to arrive at the hotel from our starting location. En route we took in many beautiful views of the county of Dalecarlia or Dalarna as it is also named. For around twenty minutes on our approach to the hotel we were following the shores of Lake Siljan which was a spectacular sight in itself. We soon arrived at Tällberg which is a little picturesque...

A Room with a Golden View

Advantages: Go on Spoil yourself To many to mention
Disadvantages: To many Steps

...The Renaissance Golden View Hotel, Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt . We stayed at this hotel for the first 2 weeks in August of 2005 our party consisted of my husband and myself and our 2 daughters aged 15 and 13. This hotel impresses from start to finish with its immaculate marble reception with comfy sofas and chairs leading to a sweeping double staircases that takes you down to the first pool area and the start of the accommodation blocks. With manicured gardens dotted all over the hotel, intermingled with streams and waterfalls which run from the back of reception to the beachfront this really is a pretty hotel. First the LOCATION: The hotel is situated about 5 miles to the west of the main resort of Namma bay and 2 to 3 miles from the old Town of Sharm El Sheikh. It sits on the end of the peninsular next to the lighthouse...

Review of Renaissance Golden View Hotel

5* views in a 3* hotel

Advantages: Good views from my room
Disadvantages: Breakfast was disappointing

...renovated. Our double did exist of two singles pushed together but apart from that, we had no quarrels. The room really paid for itself though when we stepped onto the balcony and were greeted with a view of the Acropolis just a few hundred metres away. You almost felt that you could reach out and touch it! As it had been several hours since we had last eaten we decided to use my friend's knowledge of the city and try and risk finding our way out of the rabbit warren we had entered. Thankfully, the route to the nearest metro station took just 5mins and was dead simple. The rabbit warren effect had been caused by one-way streets and the walk was very easy, taking us past the new (but yet unopened) Acropolis museum. Over the course of our stay, we grew to really enjoy our hotel. Its central location meant that we could meet up in the morning...

Review of Philippos Hotel

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...

Luxury Hotel With Fabulous Beach Or Mountain Views

Advantages: Amazing beach and quality hotel with great service
Disadvantages: None really

...failed to see why I should think this and pointed out that none of those soaps are true to life. Talk about bursting my bubble, but he did agree that the beach was amazing. ROOMS Rooms are luxurious and comfortable and we opted for a beach view which meant that we could see the whole panorama of the fabulous Gold Coast Beach. There are 296 rooms in this hotel and not all face the sea. There was a choice between Ocean View, Mountain View, or Executive Ocean Spa Suite. These are all priced accordingly. The room looks and feels spacious and cool, which was a good thing because it was very hot. My partner had advised that December might be too hot in the Brisbane area but I wasn't going to be put off that easily. Air conditioning is really vital when it's 30 degrees plus outside. Facilities in the room included everything you might...

Revieiwngf the View

Advantages: versatile indie punk rock
Disadvantages: some more difficult tracks

...From Oasis's ?Definitely Maybe? to ?Word gets Around? by the stereophonics and Wet Wet Wet's ?Popped In Souled OutI? have always liked band's debut albums. I find them raw , enthusiastic and aspirational but at the same time down to earth and easy to relate to. To add to my list is ?Hats off to the Buskers the Mercury nominated debut by by Dundonian quartet the View. The View are a young indie band who hail from the Dundee district of Dryburgh. There music is rooted in their background with lead singer Kyle Falconer's vocals proudly displaying the Dundonian burr, which is a pleasure to listen to. I really like regional accents in music and think there should be more of them although at times they can be hard to understand. ?Hat's off to the Buskers? is produced by Owen Morris, who also produced Oasis and The Verve , was...

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...

Review of Hotel International, Paris

A hotel with a great location, great view

Advantages: great location, great view
Disadvantages: room is a little bit old, not best for money choice

...I have been to this hotel on August 26, 2007. It has a nice location,just on the most attractive street, Robson street, namely in the heart of Vancouver. Definitely a downtown hotel, where has a colorful night life. On the both sides of the street are full of bars, restaurants, shops. It is one of the best place to enjoy oriental food there, Japanese food, Thai food, Chinese food, Korean food. Short walking distance to the famous Stanley park. Aslo the largest shopping malls are on the opposite site of the Stanley Park. Great location. As for the building itself. An magnificient view from out side. Especially when you are on one of the top floor, you can overview the whole Vancouver. Great view. Some disappointments: the room is a little bit old, not as modern as you expect from outside....
