Casa Inn, Queretaro

Advantages: Luxurious, Friendly ,an unforgetable experience
Disadvantages: The price perhpas, but no, not really, it's more than worth it

...The Casa de la Marquesa is an amazingly beautiful and luxurious hotel. After your first step in the lobby, you have the feeling that you went back in time. And back then, you were very rich and powerfull. Each suites are large and have a different decor and all are beautiful. I haven't seen them all but I got married in Queretaro and most of the room where occupied by friends and family, so I saw most of them.. Despite the luxurious aspect of the hotel, it's a very friendly atmosphere and all the staff make you feel like you belong there. The location is ideal, right in the center of Queretaro (which by the way is an extremly beautiful city and one of the cleanest I've seen.) The price is cheap for the quality you get, but probably not the hotel you're looking for if you're on a tight budget. If it's the case, in the same street... Read review

Advantages: A five-star stay…
Disadvantages: …with just three-star facilities

...simplicity often trumps ritzy ostentation. Attentive service matters, but nothing is nastier than the kind of smarmy obsequiousness that always seems to mask a sneer. And so on.

These inconsequential musings are prompted by my trying to pinpoint what it was about the Casa San Blas at Cusco that I liked so much. The hotel is certainly not without its limitations and even its failings, but it's a nevertheless a charming and delightful place to stay. Let's try to summarise what it has to offer. * Location * The Casa San Blas is situated just a few minutes' walk from Cusco's Plaza de Armas (central square), and is therefore convenient for all the main sights of the ancient Inca capital, such as the Qorikancha (Sun Temple), the Cathedral...

Advantages: One of the best examples of Catalan Modernism
Disadvantages: Very expensive

...My husband has a job, which more often than not requires him to work on Christmas day and through most of the Christmas period. Whilst this is the perfect reason to turn down all invitations to spend Christmas with family, it's not the greatest way to celebrate the big day with a 14 hour shift. So last Christmas I decided that we'd have our very own Christmas but just a few days before the rest of the world. And so I booked a long weekend in Barcelona. Our hotel - The Gallery (review already posted many moons ago) was just off the Passeig de Gracia, one of Barcelona's key boulevards where you can find my favourite of the buildings designed by Antonio Gaudi - the almost impossible to pronounce, Casa Batllo. Earlier in the year I had attended a big industry conference in Barcelona and we'd had the conference 'gala' dinner in the Casa... Read review
