…n. Though not sure I would want to stay more than a night or two here. The hotel is in a good location right in the centre of things, but as the hotel is in an alley off the busy square (so can be hard to find!) it is very quiet. The staff are very helpful and friendly and speak excellent English, and so make visitors feel welcome. I was in the annex which is 2 doors down and up on the 1st floor. It seems that the block the annex in is an apartmen…
…ris France Room 304, originally uploaded by garybembridge. I stayed at the hotel for one night before an early flight to Lisbon. The hotel is very close to the Orly Oust terminal, although not close enough to walk to. There is a free shuttle bus that runs from 6am to midnight. It only takes a handful of minutes to get to the terminal. Not sure how long to the South Terminal but cannot be more than a few minutes at most. This hotel overall is fine….
…g trains early in the morning, or for people getting on late at night. The hotel lobby, as many people who review the hotel will say, looks good and modern. This is not bad since I think the hotel used to be a rather dire office block when I first moved to London about 20 years ago. The bedrooms are neat enough, and effort has been made to given them a modern look. The roof is quite low and although a good size the overall effect is a bit stark. T…
…e of Athens and about 35 Kms from the airport and on the Aegean coast. The hotel is on a small natural bay and looks directly across to the ruins of the still impressive Temple to Poseiden (Greek God of the Sea) on the top of a hill. The hotel itself is very stylish in design with ecclectic furnishings and decor in the public areas like the lounge and bar. It looks amazing and when you walk in to the lobby is very impressive. The rooms are dotted…
Mainport Hotel Rotterdam Reception The Mainport Hotel in Rotterdam is a 5 star hotel that opened in May 2013. It is is modern, plush and has very helpful staff. I really liked staying here. The hotel is in a great location and many of the rooms have great views across the river and the canals behind the river (ask for a room with those views not the city view!). It is just across the Erasmus Bridge, on the opposite side to where the cruise ships…
…about staying at the Four Seasons. The service impressed. I arrived at the hotel before 8am in the morning off a long 22-hour flight from London. The hotel I knew had been full the night before but the helpful Front Desk staff sought out a room that was being vacated early and requested housekeeping to get it ready as soon as possible. I headed out for a stroll and breakfast on Circular Quay close by and the room was ready not long after. I had ac…

…whole process, had to say: “I’m emailing you on behalf of the new W London Hotel, opening on Leicester Square next February. This month the hotel is launching its recruitment drive (or in W speak, “casting”) to fill two vacant concierge positions – called W “Insiders”. The process to appoint these two key staff members will revolve around an event that is more akin to TV programmes America’s Next Top Model and The Apprentice than a traditional int…
…plus of staying at the Sheraton Paris CDG Airport Hotel. Sad but true! The hotel is the only one within the airport terminals at Paris CDG, situated after terminal 2E and walkable from any of the Terminal 2 areas. It is a modern looking hotel with a nice look and feel in the public rooms. The rooms are large, and well equipped with huge desk, sofa, big and comfortable bed. The bathroom is a bit dated but has a separate shower and bath, which is un…
…476 (1), originally uploaded by garybembridge. The Palace of the Lost City hotel at Sun City in South Africa (which is about 2.5 hours drive from Johannesburg) is positioned as the most up-market of the 4 hotels that form the complex. But as we soon discovered on arriving at Sun City, the concept of “up-market” and Sun City are not entirely linked! Admittedly it had some glamour factor as Oprah Winfrey was also staying there, but overall I found S…
