[13/04/2010] Arriving in Córdoba, it's difficult not to be impressed as the Mezquita looms large on the horizon. This magnificent former Mosque is now the city's Cathedral and undoubtedly its most famous attraction and landmark. This was probably the main reason we were visiting the city and we had booked accommodation at the Hotel Maimonides, literally feet from the Mezquita. CÓRDOBA has a long and illustrious history. It was founded by the Romans (not sure who 'losted' it) in 169BC and because of its strategic position - the furthest navigable point of the Guadalquivir River, it developed into an imp [more]

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Pisa

perfection!

[25/11/2007] One of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany last year was to be our visit to Pisa. To be accurate, the main attraction was not so much the city of Pisa itself, charming though it undoubtedly is, but the Field of Miracles. Well, to be punctiliously precise, it wasn't even the Field of Miracles that had our anticipatory juices flowing, but The Leaning Tower of Pisa in particular. The Field of Miracles is the area housing the Duomo, Tower, Baptistry and associated buildings. To be honest, if you discount the Field of Miracles, I'm not sure that much else in Pisa merits a visit although I [more]

Auschwitz- Birkenau

Auschwitz

97%

excellent

[06/09/2007] The State Museum in Oswiecim. Doesn't sound too sinister, does it? But use the German name for the city - Auschwitz - and it doesn't sound quite so cozy. It conjures up images of terror, unspeakable cruelty, bestiality and genocide. It is the epitome of the Holocaust. A Short History The camp was formed by the Nazis in April 1940, in the suburbs of the Polish city of Oswiecim. Initially, the inmates were Polish political prisoners, but before long, Soviet prisoners of war, Gypsies, and prisoners of other nationalities were also imprisoned. Gradually, the camp was enlarged and the expa [more]

Nieuwvliet -Bad

very good

[19/02/2006] Ahhh.... that brisk sea air, what better way to blow those dusty old cobwebs away. Location Nieuwvliet-bad is a small resort on the North sea coast of Zeeland in the extreme South-west of the Netherlands. The hotel is situated in a quiet peaceful location only around 100m or so from the beach. The hotel has a total of 35 rooms: 12 Standard rooms, 14 standard rooms with balcony, 5 salon rooms, 3 suites and a bridal suite. There are 4 floors with an elevator and there are rooms which are suitable for the disabled. The reception area was large and bright and decked out with sofas a [more]

Pisa Internatio nal Airport Galileo Galilei

Pisa

pretty good

[07/02/2006] Pisa International Airport, or, as Ryanair like to call it, 'Florence airport' likes to call itself 'the Strategic gateway to Tuscany'. If all that weren't confusing enough, its Sunday name is Pisa International Airport - Galileo Galilei. Of course, it doesn't really matter what its called - what matters is whether the flight you want goes there...and I suppose, departs from there. When we took a trip to Tuscany last year, it rather conveniently did. Actually, the description of the Gateway to Tuscany isn't a bad one as most people travelling there will have to use Pisa - Florence airpor [more]

excellent

[09/01/2006] My wife and I visited Canada in 2001 for our silver wedding anniversary, but the highlight of our trip had to be our two night stay at the Sheraton Fallsview. The reception area was somewhat cavernous with a waterfall feature in the central area next to a massive staircase. I wonder where they got the inspiration for a water feature?! There were a couple of gift shops and a coffee shop in the reception area and an Italian restaurant off to one side. Checking-in was a bit slow with only a couple of staff on hand at first, and one person having a problem with their reservation. Howev [more]

Best Western Palace

Zandvoort

92%

good

[27/12/2005] It's hard to miss the Best Western Palace in Zandvoort, its 20-odd floors rise above the town like a monolithic concrete slab (which it is) and dominates the coastline for miles around. That and the fact it's well signposted. Zandvoort lies a few miles north of Amsterdam on the windswept North Sea coast of Holland. It's not a large place anyway, but the hotel completely dwarfs almost everything else in the town. It's 150m from the train station (Amsterdam is 20 mins away), 400m from the town centre and the casino, and 900m from the racetrack. Schilpol airport is 25km distant, Haarlem 5km a [more]

Mercure Leuven Center

Leuven

so-so

[23/12/2005] Where to spend the last couple of days of our holiday in Germany? Easy - Leuven. Yes, I know it's in Belgium. But we were traveling home via Brussels, so it's not as strange a choice as at first seems. We booked the Holiday Inn Garden Court for our last couple of days - handy for the airport, and, let's face it, it would be nice to get my hands on some Belgian beer after all that German stuff! The hotel should be easy to find. After all, it's only a matter of turning down Tiensestraat from the inner ring road and there it is - 100-150m from the Grote Markt. What they didn't tell [more]

Alcano

Granada

90%

so-so

[06/11/2005] Our main reason for visiting Granada was to see the Alhambra which, although it seems to be near the centre of the city, is much more accessible from the ring roads. We therefore decided on a hotel which was close to the main access routes, yet in a peaceful location. So with that in mind, I booked the Tryp Alcano (part of the Sol Melia group), just 5km from the bustling heart of this ancient city, but conveniently located on a highway close to the ring road. Just to get our bearings straight, the hotel is 5-6 km from the Alhambra, 40 km from the Sierra Nevada ski slopes and 60 km from the [more]

Ibis Charleroi Aéroport

Fleurus

88%

good

[05/10/2005] The hotel (a 3-storey building constructed in 1999) is in the village of Fleurus, North-East of Charleroi city, and 5 Km from the airport - they have a shuttle service. Take Exit 15 on the E42-A15 motorway, and it's 300m towards Charleroi on the N29, Chaussee de Charleroi. It's a relatively busy road but, as it's essentially a residential area, the traffic is fairly light in the evening. Parking's not a problem here as the hotel has more than enough spaces for all the guests. Checking-in was swift and painless and took no more than a few minutes. We were attended to immediately and t [more]
