Best Western Premier Santo Domingo, Madrid

Santo Domingo

Advantages: Eating yourself to bursting point in the fully inclusive hotels
Disadvantages: Not much to do and rip off prices

My husband and I were really looking forward to wandering round local markets and picking up unusual souvenirs in the Dominican Republic but, unfortunately, holidays in the Dominican Republic are not for people who want to travel around and experience the country for themselves. We were in an all inclusive, which was just as well, because there was nowhere to go outside the hotel complex.

Review of Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic)

Best Western Le Donjon Les Ramparts certainly not Best Value

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Split into different buildings, expensive.

I can?t really describe it any other way, it was a square building with grey walls but on entering it was actually very well set out.

The rooms pictured on the Best Western website looked nothing like ours. I can only imagine that they are executive rooms and not standard ones. While ?grumpy?s? room had been recently refurbished ours looked like something from the Crossroads Motel. (Old midlands soap opera). It was shabby!

Review of Best Western Le Donjon Les Remparts, Carcassonne

best choice from best western

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

. great if you're spending more than one night at the hotel! Staff and check in: When i've stayeed here check inhas always been really quick and we've been able to check in straight away. The satff on reception are friendly and polite. I've ordered room servie aswell and the staff again have been pleasant considering it has always been pretty late! staff in the bars are always chatty and friendly too( most bar staff are though aren't they?). Rooms: I've only ever stayed in the cresta premier room at the cresta court but the hotel has recently had a refurbishment(within the last year) so it is a lot nicer than what it used to be on just the standard rooms. They have five categories of rooms at the hotel which are: standard( double or twin) executive(only double) cresta premier family bridal All rooms have the 24hr room service ...
