NH EUROBUILDING HOTEL MADRID SPAIN: Avoid it if you can!

…py is the conference booker or the package holiday negotiator. Overall the hotel is “just fine” which is one of the most damming things that I can say about any hotel. The rooms have a sort of wow factor and have been renovated to look better than the dull office block looking building itself, but it is clear that the budget was limited and the furniture is light and flimsy. The rooms though are large and have wooden style floors, a big desk to wo…

Hotel De Paris Monte Carlo Monaco: What is is like staying at one of the iconic hotels of the world?

…ed it in the garage under the casino square and that was very close to the hotel I am glad to have finally got to stay here, as is one of the trophy hotels of the world. It is a bit stuffy for me overall, but is great to be able to say I have stayed there. Watch the video of the outside of the hotel, the amazing lobby and my room (408) and the view: Read my blog posting on Monaco itself: click here See all my photos of Monaco and the hotel on Flic…

New York Palace Hotel (Dorchester Collection): review, photos, video

…at the hotel overall is fine. Nothing special but not too bad for New York hotels. The hotel is busy and like so many New York hotels the reception staff seem off hand and disinterested, reeling off their patter with little real honesty or believability. The rooms are large for New York and quiet. The bed is large and very comfortable, and there is a gigantic flat screen TV with large range of channels. A good sized desk and fast internet access….

Radisson Zurich Airport Hotel (review, video and photos)

…p you get to view yourself in all your glory when going to the toilet. The hotel is very hot and quite stuffy, and many people commented about how the hotel suffered on that front. My room had good air-conditioning, but that was not everyone’s experience. There are a number of restaurants in the hotel, but all are fairly average. But at least there is some choice. There is a 24 hour fitness centre that is well equipped with weights, cardio machine…

Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel, Marbella, Spain (review, videos, pictures)

…rybembridge. The Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel, Marbella, Spain is a five star hotel. Though I am not really sure why. It is a decent hotel with decent rooms and okay service. But it does not have the style, flair or sense of specialness that a 5 star hotel should have. This was the 2nd time that I stayed at the hotel. Both times were attending a work conference. It is perfect for out-of-season conferences as the hotel is not in demand and so they off…

Swissotel Krasnye Holmy Hotel, Moscow (review, video & photos)

…be going home, I did think that at least it was another night is a lovely hotel. I was staying in an Executive Room on the 18th floor (room 1803). The hotel was 33 floors, with a fantastically trendy bar on that floor that circles the hotel tower. The views are great from both my room and the bar. I knew as soon as I arrived in the lobby the hotel would be good. The greetings were warm and the style, design and artworks were all stunning. Even th…

Hudson Hotel New York: review, Video & Photos. SO small So Funky So horrible!

Hudson Hotel New York is a trendy, hip and funky hotel. It is also a strange hotel that will not appeal to everyone. You can read my review below.…but take a look at the video of the room below which shows just how small this room is. It is not cheap at $220 at a special corporate rate as we are at a conference, but is only 135 square feet and not for those who don’t like confined spaces… but looks good.. I would never spend my own money to stay…

Travel to French Riviera In Winter: Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Antibes

…lways very busy. It’s much busier than any of the other cities. You’ve got hotels like the Hilton Hotel ‑‑ which, again, is not a very attractive building ‑‑ next to the absolutely stunning Carlton Hotel, which is the one that the big stars stay at at the Cannes Film Festival. An absolutely beautiful hotel, and a little bit further down, the Hotel Martinez, which I was very lucky enough to stay at a couple years ago when I had won a prize to go to…

Seabourn Cruise Tips: 4 Things You Need To Know Before Cruising

…t one, you can only go once during a week-long cruise and you have to make reservations for that. Probably one of my favorite places on board is ‘Sushi’. You can go as often as you want here, and there’s no need for reservations. If you want more informal dining, out on the pool deck you can have snacks such as hot dogs, hamburgers and similar options. Every afternoon at around about four o’clock, Afternoon tea is served. When I was on Encore that…
