GRAND HYATT SAO PAULO: GREAT EXPERIENCE. ONLY ONE FAULT!

…buffet breakfast is especially good and very varied. Clearly it was also a popular place for people to meet for breakfast meetings. Service and friendliness right across the hotel is fantastic. People were so welcoming and helpful. I was very impressed with everyone I met and interacted with. I had a great view across the city and bridge from my room on the 17th floor which added to the experience. I am not usually a massive fan of Hyatt hotels as…

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

…e! The hotel clearly is very busy due to its location near a very nice and popular beach, and so is busy with holiday makers, wedding parties (zillions of them) and conference visitors. The 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 mos…

KILLERTON HOUSE: NATIONAL TRUST HOUSE AND PROPERTY IN DEVON. Worth visting, or not?

…National Trust and large staley homes in this neck of the woods, is a very popular place to visit. The property is on a hill with great views. When you arrive, there is a fairly large parking area and there is a eduacation/ discovery centre and you go down to the entrance to the property. You can visit the garden centre which has a large collection of plants and garden ornaments (for some reason), there is a second hand book shop, a tea-room/ rest…

ATHENS: GRECOTEL CAPE SOUNIO HOTEL (ATHENS, GREECE)

…ets a bit boring as it is always the same at the buffet. The hotel is very popular as a venue for conferences and so check if there is one on. While we were there a German company had a conference and so at night there was loud music around the pool in the evening for their dinners etc. In fact as they left the conference I was attending was moving in! I have very mixed views about this hotel, as you can tell.. See all my photos on Flickr of the h…

MAURITIUS: The magical, beautiful Indian Ocean Island

…heir complex is when they go back to the airport at the end. The island is popular for weddings. So many people come to get married there. Almost every single day the last time I was on Mauritius, the place we stayed, we were there for twelve nights and I think someone got married every single day. So what are my tips if you’re visiting Mauritius. #1 WHEN TO VISIT The first thing to do if you’re visiting Mauritius, is to be extremely careful about…

British Museum London. I had forgotten how breathtaking and interesting a day out this was.

…me you have. Dotted around the museum are some eating places with the most popular the ones in the large hall / courtyard when you enter. There are a number of different shops on the ground floor, some selling just postcards through to one that sells resin full size statutes for £10000, and other pricey replicas and gifts. I was (as you can tell) very impressed and had a great time. I recommend watching the 6 minute video tour on the posting or on…

Paris Pullman Eiffel Tower Hotel Is Closest Hotel To The Eiffel Tower

…lso expensive, and probably not the best value in the city. But it is very popular with tour groups and conferences. The hotel itself is clean but in reality although it is in overall fine shape, must be near to a big refurbish as it is not as stylish, contemporary or plush as its prices tend to suggest. On this trip I was in a “deluxe room” on the 7th floor facing over the sports centre and grounds in front of the hotel and across to the river. T…

Hilton Arc De Triomphe Hotel Paris France: Video, reviews and more

…taurant, which is very large, serves a good range of food with many very good fish dishes and nice wines. The staff again is attentive and helpful. There is a fairly well equipped fitness centre that seems quite busy, along with a spa. The hotel is very popular for meetings and during the day is full of business types. I like the hotel a great deal, though the rack rates can be quite high. But worth checking out as an option for business or pleasu…

Novotel Hotel at Warsaw Airport Poland. You get what you should expect…

…you are in and out and not able or planning to be very touristy. It seems popular for meetings and that seemed to be the main trade. The room was large and had free Internet access which is great. They have a pool and fitness centre, but did not get to see that. The restaurant has a fairly good buffet breakfast. Overall it was fine, but was only staying one night. See the video of my room 782 on the blog posting, or click here to watch on YouTube…

London Sea Life Aquarium: review, photo and video

…Of Parliament in London, and near to the London Eye (the massive and very popular Ferris Wheel originally set up for the Millennium that has become a permanent feature). The area along the Thames in front of County Hall is, unfortunately, becoming a bit of a busy and somewhat tacky tourist area. This is unfortunate, but possibly inevitable, and is rapidly evolving into the more depressing cheap and shabby areas like South Street Seaport in New Yo…

Holidays are better value than ever this year..

…ng sites like expedia are rafts of offers and deals. The extra nights seem popular at present as again assume they then will try and sell other services and food. Strengthening pound With all the offers from hotels through their sites, we only paid deposits of one night. The discounting by hotels meant less need to book deals that meant paying up front, which is presumably how some hotels part fund discounts. As the pound has now significantly str…
