…dly and attentive. This perfectly fits the premium nature and rates of the hotel. I was, for example, staying at the hotel for a few days for a work meeting and even at a conference deal of £215 (about US$430) for a standard room. I was though, as I am a Starwood Gold Card holder, upgraded to a “Junior Suite”. This room on the 7th floor was lovely with 3 large windows looking across the rooftops of London towards the “London Eye” (bearing in mind…

…na Hotel Barcelona Video Tour and Review This is my Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel Barcelona Review And Video Tour. Looking for a luxury hotel in Barcelona? One that is close to the cruise port and Ramblas? I have a great suggestion for you if you are. I stayed here before joining a ship in the nearby port. Although the hotel is not really walking distance with suitcases it is very close by. Join me as I tour and review the Eurostars Grand Marina Ho…
…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…
…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…
…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…

…he Hilton JFK Airport hotel in New York. Watch my video tour, thoughts and review: To get to the hotel from the airport can take longer than getting into New York! You have to take the Sky Train from your Terminal to the meeting point (well described in the terminal and at the Sky Train station). Then you have to wait for the Hilton shuttle bus. The bus goes every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day. Though if you just miss one bus it can take a while. It…

…had booked an “executive room” which is on the 8th floor. Having read some reviews, I had called the hotel and asked for a room with an outside view as a lot of rooms face into the inner courtyard. So this is a good tip to remember. On checking in they confirmed this had been requested and gave us one of the rooms facing the airport and runways (which are their most requested rooms the receptionist told us). I can see why as it was a great view, a…
