Hyatt Regency Princeton: So very biege in every way

…your room echos from the people meeting in the atrium until all hours. The air con is very noisy and you need to have it off not matter the time of the year. The staff are cheerful and do their best to sound upbeat in this dreary place.The food is again very average, with slow service that feels caught in a time loop from the past. The hotel is always very busy, as despite all of the above due to the lack of anything much better they do a good and…

Gran Melia Fenix Hotel Madrid Spain: Stunning, plush and great service

…actions (like the Communications Palace and the Library) and also the open air tour buses go past very nearby.

The bedroom we stayed in (401) was very grand and plush, with massive and comfortable bed. The room had a great desk area, large TV, and iPod docking station and Clarins toiletries. The room had no view other than across to…

…ys get one. An alternative is the Monorail. Through part of the city is a fairly new monorail which covers what I would call the “right hand side of town”. It goes from Darling Harbor through the main shopping area, and right up to the up to Central Station. It is a good trip as it is fairly new it is above the streets and so you get a feel for a large part of the city, and it’s very inexpensive to go on. Hotels: Where ever you stay, if you can af…

SWISSOTEL ZURICH: NOTHING WRONG, BUT NOT ALL RIGHT! MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW

…quite large to relax in either. Room service is fast and efficient with a fairly good range of options. The staff across the hotel are generally friendly and efficient, but again lack some depth of warmth. The fitness centre though is rubbish. It is small and cramped with 2 treadmills, a cross trainer and 2 bikes and then a half-hearted set of weights and not real space to have a decent workout. As such a large hotel with 32 floors this was a real…

The ship, instead of being shown before being named officially, was sent to bring back stranded travellers. So we drove down to Southampton, where the ship was docked for the day on Halloween Day (31 October), before it set off on a transatlantic repositioning cruise to Miami for the Caribbean Winter Season.

HATFIELD HOUSE: stunning stately house in Hertfordshire England

…ce (the original property on the site) Hatfield House often has a familiar air about it for visitors. The reason being that it has been used extensively in films and TV, including Batman, Laura Croft and Sherlock Holmes. The house and grounds are quite stunning. Huge, sprawling and very impressive. The same family has lived here for over 400 year (Earl of Salisbury) and still do, but it is also known as the original property and grounds where the…

SHERATON BARRA HOTEL RIO DE JANEIRO: Poor overall with a fab beach opposite

…e hotel decor is dated and shabby, stuck in the 1980s with little of the flair and passion one expects (and gets) usually in Brazil. The staff are also disinterested, off hand and lack the usual Brazilian warmth. This is true across all departments, including most of reception. I am used to friendly, welcoming and up-beat people in Brazil. This seems to have been sucked out of the staff here. They also are awful with details and bookings. I have r…

VICTORIA FALLS REVIEW, BUNGEE JUMPING AND MORE. A guide to possibly the most stunning place in the world

…huttle service, but the most connections are via Johannesburg. A number of airlines fly to and from there into Livingstone every day, including British Airways and SAA. A various times of the year the Rovos Rail service also goes to the Falls. Flights are busy, as most people tend to come in and out within 2 days and so the flights get very busy. You need a Visa to enter Zambia. Best to get this before you go, though you can get when you arrive. B…

LUDLOW, SHROPSHIRE, ENGLAND. What can I say….

…ugh to bigger May Fair, Transport Festival, Secret Gardens of Ludlow, Open Air Brass Concerts, Green Festival, Food and Drink Festival, and the Medieval Christmas Fayre. So what else is there to do other than the markets? The Ludlow Castle is the main attraction. It costs just under £5 per adult to walk round, and is a large sprawling complex of ruins. I have made a video tour of the main features. I actually really enjoyed exploring the castle, t…
