Hotel Pentelikon (Athens, Greece) Review and Video

Hotel Pentelikon (Athens, Greece) Review and Video

…a sort of 4 poster design but without the canopy on the top, large comfy chair, and chair and desk to work at. The bathroom was as beautiful with a wall of frosted glass doors with a large shower behind one door and a toilet behind the other.Even the meeting rooms, which are in another new building, were good. The provision of free internet access in the bedrooms was also a nice touch. The fitness center was a real disappointment. 3 cardio machine…

The railway system in the UK is quite an odd one. Great Western being very odd

…London to Plymouth is about 5 hours and having no drinks, food as a norm seems just sloppy and incredibly incompetent. Not to mention lost revenue. On our trip today we also had doors that did and then did not and then did work. Air con that played up in some carriages. No water at all in the toilets (and of course no drinks or food) Pity as train is better overall and faster than cars. I did not even get into the complex and bizarre pricing of t…

This was a small suite with sitting room with desk and fireplace decorated in rich browns. There was a good sized white bathroom with 2 person Jacuzzi style bath and cosy bedroom with comfortable king bed and massive…

…s Royce that get 500 cars there. They also have concerts, theatre and open air cinema shows. The Harewood family still own and live there. It seems they made their money through activities like the slave trade and commerce, and in more recent years were associated with royalty when one of Queen Victoria’s relatives (Princess Royal Mary) married into the family. In the house is an exhibition of some of her effects including her wedding dress There…

You need a Visa to enter Zambia. Best to get this before you go, though you can get when you arrive. B…

We had been there twice about 4 years ago and loved the sushi so much that we got over the attitude of the staff and terrible service. we arrived this time having made a booking well in advance. Like last time there was no record and there was (like last time) a performance as they check and re-check their lists and…

Flying, the train and Terminal 5

…in fact increasingly around Europe by train, than put oneself through the airport and pack-them-in short haul flights. I have been to and from Paris at least twice a month now for the last 6 months.

It worked smoothly and efficiently with fast check-in (well bag drop as I had…

Hotel Barcelo, Marbella, Spain (video, review, photos)

…was very pleasant. It had a large entrance area, great lounge area with chairs and sofa (and desk to work at), the bedroom was a good size (though with my current pet hate – twin beds… I am sure when on a corporate deal you get allocated twin beds versus the more comfortable doubles). The bathroom was large with separate bath and shower. The air-conditioning was only partly effective, and the rooms got very hot while out as your key card is neede…
