Hilton Hotel Zurich Airport (Review and Room Videos)

…and seems popular. On the way to the hotel it stops at a Hilton Apartment Hotel and then the hotel. On the way back it stops at that hotel and then 2 other places (which seem to be airport crew or admin buildings) before the terminal. The trip is between about 5 and 10 minutes. The rooms in the hotel seem to have been modernised fairly recently and are designed with the business traveller in mind. Amazingly comfortable beds, pillows and duvets ar…

Hotel Review: Sheraton Belgravia, London UK

…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…

Intercontinental Hotel in Time Square New York. Views So Good We Slept With The Curtains Open.

…Good We Slept With The Curtains Open. As The video in this post will show! Hotel Intercontinental Hotel Time Square New York Room 2826 I have stayed in New York a zillion times over the last 20 years, mostly for work when I was commuting back and forth. I just wish that this hotel had existed earlier, and that I had discovered it before this trip. If it had, I would have been a regular here! The hotel is fairly new, and although it is called Hotel…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…ou’re anything like me, you’ve popped things in different drawers over the duration of cruise. I must admit, in the past I’ve left Camera SD cards, my St Christopher, which I valued very highly, chargers and so on. Check, check and double check On my last cruise, when I arrived, I found items in some drawers the previous guests had forgotten, and the cabin steward had not picked up. Pack all your valuables and medication in your hand luggage, not…

Letchworth Hall Hotel, Hertfordshire, England: Amazing value and great weekend break

…d found that service was good and the overall attitude and approach of the hotel was positive. The hotel seems to be focused on a business that is about weddings at weekends, conferences in week and then fills the 80+ rooms with deals. While we were there we also had Sheffield United footballers staying before their game the next day, and there was a coach party staying one night. The hotel was a large old house with a great hall, where they serve…

Accomodation / Prague

Rocco Forte Augustine Hotel. One of The Very Best Prague Hotels

…w beautiful Prague was and how I needed to explore it more. So how did the hotel rate after spending 3 nights there? Overall good, though there are some flaws that were slightly irritating for such an up-market hotel. They were though all related to housekeeping issues. Every day we were there we had to call housekeeping by late afternoon as our room had not been cleaned, and in the evening (as we had a “do not disturb” on the door) we got a card…

THE BERKELEY HOTEL, Knightsbridge, London: The most posh hotel I ever stayed at!

…ng, and horribly expensive. There is, strangely, no really good bar in the hotel and we actually went to the Oriental mandarin hotel nearby for cocktails in the evening as the bar there is much more trendy and impressive. On the 7th floor is a pool and small but well equipped fitness room. The pool is a good size, 4 foot deep with a room that can retract in good weather. The Berkeley is amazing. Very expensive. Very posh and just a wonderful exper…

Sao Paulo (Brazil) : Sofitel Hotel

…Paulo. View of Sao Paulo from my room in Sofitel Here is my review of the hotel: I liked this hotel. The rooms are large; the food is good and the staff all very helpful and friendly. While the hotel basically overlooks an interchange it is very near to the large public park that locals can be seen streaming into on the weekend and makes for a very pleasant place to escape to near the hotel. The whole area the hotel is in is very well lit and it…

HEALTH TIPS WHEN TRAVELLING: avoiding the Cheryl Cole and more…

…on holiday is to steer well clear of teeth, pincers and claws. Cover up at dusk to avoid bites, don’t feed the monkeys (as I saw the risks on my last holiday in Zambia!). One thing I keep forgetting to take with me is anti-bug spray and best to take as many stink and not only scare away the bugs but your partner too! (Unless you want to of course….) And of course as mentioned, unlike Cheryl Cole check onlien and get medical advice and ensure you t…

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…
