Novotel Hotel at Warsaw Airport Poland. You get what you should expect…

…really… The Novotel Hotel at Warsaw Airport is a hotel near the airport by Novotel. So you know exactly what you are getting. At least from that perspective they are consistent – not exciting, not special but reliably consistent. Overall I am not crazy about Novotel hotels. They are in unremarkable to ugly 1970s inspired buildings that look and with a finish that says budget was not high. They are always clean but decor is well meaning but feels b…

Novotel Hotel St Pancras London (review, video & photos)

Novotel St Pancras Kings Cross London Room 408, originally uploaded by garybembridge. I stayed at this hotel, which is a short walk from Kings Cross and St Pancras (the new Eurostar terminal) the night before catching an early train to Paris. I got the room by using Airmiles and so do not pay anything for it. I would have been less than happy if I had. Perhaps as the room was bought using an Airmiles redemption, we got a less than ideal room. The…

Novotel Hotel Bangkok Airport (review and video)

We stayed here for a few hours between our flight back from Koh Samui and our flight back to London just after midnight. It was very reasonable to book a room for a night and we decided that it was definitely worth it than hanging about the airport. The hotel runs a shuttle bus service from the airport, and it only takes about 5 minutes. The hotel is large. It has this vast reception atrium. It is massive, and it looks like a large percentage of…

…(Ypres) which was about fifteen minutes away. I stayed at the comfortable Novotel which was within walking distance of the Menin Gate. This vast and imposing structure is at the entrance to the city and where the Last Post Ceremony is held every night at 8pm. There were hundreds of people gathered there to hear the last post and watch while guests laid poppy wreaths. It has become an important event for anyone touring the area to go to, and been…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…

…ut the overall dress code was very relaxed. This was not a flashy designer label for dinner experience, it was more like when I have been on an expedition cruise. In short, were what you bring and wear was low on the list. Personal Feel The third thing was with a maximum of 312 guests and 200 crew. People said they liked that they got to know the crew and vice versa. They liked always being called by name. As the same crew would man lunch, dinner,…
