Advantages: Clean, Comfortable, Location Disadvantages: My Ears!
As 2008 drew to a close I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to pay a flying visit to Milan, the purpose of which was twofold - to soak up some culture in the fine city, and also take in a football match at the famous Stadio San Siro. Because the trip was part of a package we were unable to specify flight companies or hotels of our own accord, instead relying on the powers that be that put these all inclusive city breaks together. So it was we found our party of three transported from Malpensa airport to the hotel Amadeus in the fashionable shopping district of Milan, a clean looking three star hotel, boasting eighty rooms.
Location, Location, Location
Little doubt that the location of the Amadeus is one of its strengths. Although it is a good hour?s drive from Malpensa airport it is ? quite literally ? a stone ...
Advantages: Germany's capital and most interesting city Disadvantages: a bit too large, distances too long
Berlin*, Berlin,
Wir fahren nach Berlin!
(Berlin, Berlin,
We're heading for Berlin!)
(pronounced Ber-leen, stress on the second syllable)
This slogan has been chanted enthusiastically for ages whenever a German sports team made it to the capital for the last round, meanwhile it has left the confines of sports and is now even used by the Berlin Tourist Board for a campaign to attract visitors.
I've been to four Berlins in my life: when in my mother's womb I was in Berlin, then the capital of the Third Reich, from the GDR (German Democratic Republic), where we later lived, I visited Berlin once in the 1950s, a much smaller city then (only the Soviet sector), but still a capital, the capital of the GDR.
After fleeing to West Germany I visited West Berlin, not a capital any more, but no ordinary city, either, it had become ...
"The Positives"
#1. The price: even if you book just before your trip, rooms are generally good value. Remember to compare booking sites. Hostels share the number of rooms available between sites, so if, for example, Hostel World says that there are no beds left, Hostelbookers might not have used up its quota of beds.
#2. No hidden costs: bedding is included - which is something which is by no means a given. Breakfast is now extra, but few hostels offer a free breakfast anymore. In any case, it is an all-you-can-eat buffet, so you really can get your money's worth!
#3. Staff: Friendly, competent and multi-lingual
#4. Security: each guest has his or her own locker and each guest has his or her own swipe card to access the rooms: many hostels have one key per room, which raises many security concerns.
