…ot only cheaper than being in the city, but also so hassle free to get to the terminals. I got at least an important extra hour sleep by staying at the hotel, and will do it in the future without doubt. Hotel Review New York City…
…ess broadband but it is costly. The place is not that soundproof as you could hear all the noise as people came and went from their rooms. The rooms were very hot from the winter heating. The food in the hotel is good and reliable with lots of salads – but not stunning. I feel the hotel is more four star. Personally, it is not a hotel I would like to stay at for pleasure but for work it was brilliant. Here is a video of the room I stayed in: I hav…
…every half hour on the hour and half past the hour. The Hilton JFK Airport Hotel is just like every airport hotel I have stayed at! It is dated as a building, but perfectly fine. The rooms are a decent size, with comfortable Hilton beds. There is coffee / tea making in the room (which is a plus). Instead of bath tubs, there is a large shower with glass panel. This is great – though the shower heads are old fashioned and pity they were not upgraded…
…with did comment on it. The staff is mixed in terms of service, and the reception service was a bit off-hand and not that helpful, but in some other areas the staff were cheerful and helpful.

…tel, though think the secret to an enjoyable and quiet stay is going there during the week and not the weekend. During the week it was very quiet as regards the number of guests staying, and it looks like most of the business in the week are meetings and conferences. On the weekend it is clear that wedding parties move in, and we saw that even by the Saturday morning the nature of the hotel changed (like they moved to a buffet breakfast instead of…
…e Night Manager agreeing to cut our room bill in half. We were down at the hotel to attend a charity dinner but as the hotel runs many events, we found ourselves in a bedroom with a booming disco and very noisy party goers outside until past 2am. We asked for another room but they had none, and then as we could not sleep after to-ing and fro-ing the night manager agreed that to cut the rate in half. We were annoyed as the hotel knew there was an e…
…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…
…ets very hot indeed! I had a few days here as a weekend break and that was long enough. I would not recommend this resort for more than a few days stay as it is pricey and the beach is not that great and there are better places to stay on the islands. But fine for a few days of indulgence. The hotel is very popullar 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 the…
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…
