Cab Inn, Arhus

Advantages: Amazing food, friendly and professional staff, lovely rooms
Disadvantages: £20 cab ride away from airport, sound proofing not as good as it could be

...with the person in my office that books the accommodation. They said to me, "I'll try and get you in to the City Inn" I thanked them, but at that point just had the impression it would be a fairly bog standard chain hotel. My manager enthused about the place though, saying the food was really good. First Impressions ********************* To get to the hotel from Glasgow airport is around a 20 minute cab ride. This costs between £18-£21 depending on traffic. On my first trip up the cab driver was very chatty and friendly, and I marvelled at the difference to the 'lovely' black cab drivers of London town. He kept me entertained the length of the journey. He did ask me why I'd chosen the City Inn and I told him that my company really liked it, and that the food was supposed to be good. He then told me he'd eaten there and thought... Read review

...Girgis. Talk a walk to the Nile at night. Its enchanting. To the pyramids at Giza hail a cab from outside the hostel. The Egyptian museum is walkable distance if you care for it othwerwise hail a cab. Islamic Cairo and the Khan-EKhalili market is also within waling distance but a taxi should only cost 5EGP.

Advantages: Very trying staff
Disadvantages: Awkward location and difficult to navigate building.

...is quite nice, but from a tourists point of view there is nothing to see in the immediate vicinity. One final criticism I have of the hotel is that when I requested a taxi I in fact received one of those illegal London taxis that are not recognised by London's council and as a result you would not be insured should you be involved in an accident while in the cab. When I asked for a receipt I received a receipt that was actually an order sheet from a local takeaway. As a whole my review of The Days Inn conference facility is pretty damning I admit, however I must state that the staff do try to build a rapport with the guests; but for most the language barrier is just to big and you can see the look of rejection in the eyes of the staff when they either cannot get their point across or cannot be properly understood. If you... Read review
