Advantages: Close to airport and Chinatown. Disadvantages: Dusty rooms, inefficient tour bookings, shoddy decor.
...I have stayed in a few Singapore hotels, and generally the standard is extremely good, so I was surprised to be so disappointed with The Miramar. I chose it because I was on a stopover and got a cheap deal. As I have seen the sights of Sing before, thought it would be nice to visit Malaysia for the day.
Singapore is renowned for it's cleanliness, but this has obviously passed The Miramar by, because my room was musty smelling and incredibly dusty, I think there was a year's worth of sweepings under the bed. Otherwise it contained the necessary, with double beds, TV, and non-sparkling clean bathroom.
Facilities include a pool. However, this is a trek down a dingy corridor with dangling wires, where you eventually pop out into the health club reception. The pool is outside, a bit pokey and paint-peeling, and surrounded by random...

...with the eventful World Cup and its following celebrations. As absolutely nobody I knew would be in Ischia at the time, I ended up having to research online for hotels and came across the Miramare e Castello.
I confess to be a faithful user of Expedia.com, and I normally find its ratings rather reliable. The ratings given to the Miramare e Castello Hotel were rather good and becuase of my uncontrollable wish to arrive in Ischia as fast as I could, I did not continue the research much longer.

...Tempo fa scattai alcune foto della mia famiglia a Trieste con sullo sfondo il castello di Miramare.
Chissà quanti lettori di CIAO COM avranno fatto altrettanto; foto ricordo del genere vengono scattate in continuazione in molti luoghi così anche in questo splendido parco, meta di migliaia di turisti ogni anno.
Io, personalmente, però, mancavo di qualcosa: portavo a casa le immagini impresse sulla pellicola, ma senza conoscere alcun cenno storico di questo bel luogo vicino Trieste.
In seguito ho scoperto che il castello di Miramare fu costruito su progetto di Carl Junke tra il 1855 e il 1860 su comissione dell'arciduca di Austria Massimiliano d'Asburgo che, nel 1850 a 18 anni voleva farsi "una casa" con giardino nei pressi di Schonbrun, ma poi, cambiando idea, acquistò il promontorio nei pressi della baia di Grignano (TS).
