...The Isle of Man was the place I spent most of my summer holidays with my family when I was younger and I have great memories. Now I have a family of my own I decided that we should go and visit the Isle of Man as I had not been there in about 20 years or so. We got a great deal on active hotels and stayed at the Empress Hotel for five nights. The hotel is situated right on the sea front and there are fabulous views just sitting in the lobby looking out. It is very impressive both inside and outside. The hotel decor inside is very rich in taste. The bedrooms are nice and spacious and most importantly clean. They provide tea and coffee making facilities, tv all the usual things you would find in a hotel. For dining you have a good choice if you just want to stay in the hotel, they have a choice of two restaurants. During our stay... Read review

...I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines.

There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time... Read review

...I recently stayed overnight at the chine hotel in Bournemouth whilst in the area for a friends wedding. It is currently rated as a three star hotel, but I cannot for the life of me see why as I found it to be of at least four star standard. There are 86 rooms, all of which incorporate an en suite bathroom and are decorated to a decent standard. All rooms include a hair dryer, trouser press, direct dial telephone, satellite television (selected channels only) and the complementary tray of tea, coffee and biscuits. There are four types of rooms available in relation to the view they offer the guests. The basic room is an inland room, then there is a garden facing room and finally the sea views and sea views with balcony (the prices are slightly higher for these). The hotel has a fantastic restaurant which serves breakfast... Read review
