Bel Air Hotel, Castelldefels

Advantages: Quiet getaway
Disadvantages: No nightlife

...While travelling, I decided to take a trip to Sark. I had never heard of the place. It seems to be a well kept secret. After a 40 minute boat journey from Guernsey costing £17.50 We landed at this tiny island. 3 1/2 miles by 1 mile. We walked through a small tunnel where the 'bus' was waiting. It is a trailer with approx. 25 seats pulled by a tractor up a steep hill to the dropping off point, The Bel Air public house. There are no cars in Sark so the locals, of which there are 600, get around by bicycle, horse & carriage, tractor or on foot. We refreshed ourselves at The Bel Air where the bar is made out of an old sailing boat. The locals are extremely friendly and welcomed us enthusiastically. Apart from the two bars on the island, there is not much to do. There is one main street called 'The Avenue' where you can buy shopping... Read review

...I have just returned from Bangkok and it was certainly an eye opener in more ways than one. A fine stay at the Bel Aire Princess Hotel complimented my trip. The first time you step foot outside the airport in Bangkok it's like having your head wrapped in a hot towel. The humidity is certainly far different from anything you will experience in the UK.

The hotel is well known so any taxi driver at the Airport should be able to take you to your destination without a hitch. You'll find it located on Soi 5 off the Sukhumvit road. The great thing about the hotel is its location; it's down at the end of the street so you're not right on top of the noise from the main... Read review

...Now not taking into account my 12hour journey on coach to the Hague, when we arrived at the Golden Tulip, for the price we had paid we were expecting a travel lodge of some kind, however much to our surprise the hotel looked very well presented with all glass windows at the front, looking into an exceptional reception area. The reception had all marble floors, to the right of you you had a bar with a well spacious lounge area and to the right 4 lifts to all floors. Considering there was a coach load of us, reception were very firendly and very quick in getting us all checked in and allocated to our rooms. All the lifts worked to all floors and upon entering the room, it was very bright, spacious, with a king sized bed and everything that you required for your stay, hairdryer, television with sky, tea and coffe making facilities, all...
