We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too.
Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly.
My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern.
I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower.
The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close.
The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated ...
Advantages: a unique destination Disadvantages: no public loos
of the ravine we visited a pottery in a big cave dwelling, the potter has become famous, he made the plates for The Last Supper, a newspaper clipping on the wall shows it in a film still.
Tourism brings some money to Matera, thanks to Mel Gibson´s film more than before. When we were there at the beginning of April with our students on a day out from the town our school has an exchange programme with the season hadn´t started yet which was good for us. Some of our students had already seen the film and recognised the streets through which ´Christ´ had carried the cross as well as ´Golgatha´ which is on the hill behind the Sasso Caveoso.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Matera, Italy
I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights.
LOCATION:
The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal.
PRICE:
Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time ...
