Cambridge Arms, Bordeaux

Advantages: central with good quality communal facilities
Disadvantages: expensive for the quality of bedrooms

...that are represented there are easily accessible. The University Arms itself is located next to Parker's Piece, about 5 minutes walk from the commercial centre of Cambridge and 10 mins (brisk) walk from the river. Many of the rooms look out over Parker's Piece which is an open area of grass - quite pretty, nothing too special. +++ Facilities +++ Land being at a premium in Cambridge you will not find many hotels that offer extensive facilities over and above a bar, restaurant and accommodation. The University Arms is no exception. It has three or so function rooms, including a ballroom, although this room and the Darwin Suite (where I held my reception) are often taken over to provide restaurant facilities. The function rooms are well appointed and communal facilities are first class. Parker's Bar which overlooks the green is spacious... Read review

Advantages: Great location, nice rooms, friendly
Disadvantages: Parking charge, busy area

Advantages: culture and wine
Disadvantages: some places are dirty

...At the gates of the greatest vintages of the world, at some miles of the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux put a point of honor to develop its exceptional architectural and cultural heritage. Such point that it was indicated " Town of Art " by the ministry for the Culture in 1978. This reward, perfectly justified, makes it possible to guess the extent of the monuments, museums, rooms of art or places which make the pride of the capital of Aquitaine. During my many voyages, I was brought to discover in-depth this city, and eager to share my knowledge with the ciao users, I propose one to you strolls " virtual " of Bordeaux. In a slapping of finger, I send to you on the great place of the Quincunxes which dominates the quays of Bordeaux. Such your guide, I open the gates of Bordeaux to you (I yes hope for that I did not forget... Read review
