Continental & La Tranquillita Hotel, Praiano

Advantages: Central, good rooms and service
Disadvantages: None really

...Hotel Continental is located on the ramblas. See if you can get a room that has a balcony facing on the ramblas. The ramblas comes alive from around 6/7pm at night and is a fantastic site to see. The hotel itself is a really nice hotel. The rooms are of a generous size and are decorated in a homely style. The beds were comfortable, the room was very clean and the patio doors shut out the sound of the ramblas very well. It is a great base for you to discover Barcelona which is a beautiful city with much to see and do. It is situated perfectly for shopping, for the bus tours, you must do this, for the beach at the end of the ramblas and the port itself. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is also located very near to the train station so you are able to get to and from the airport via train should you wish to... Read review

Advantages: great location from which to explore Dubai. complimentary bus service.
Disadvantages: beach is a bus ride away.

...We stayed at this 5 star deluxe hotel for a week in October. We have stayed in a Shangri-La hotel before (in Penang, Malaysia) so knew beforehand it was going to be an excellent hotel. The hotel opened in July 2003 – so everything inside was brand new. It is about 200 metres tall and has 43 storeys. we booked this hotel as part of a package. It cost £100 a night for a premier room.

It is 15 minutes away from Dubai International Airport and five minutes from the World Trade Centre. Upon arrival we were shown to our room, which was on the 37th floor. We had a premier room – the full selection is deluxe, executive, premier, one bedroom suite and presidential suite. The view... Read review

Advantages: Pleasent hotel with good connections into Disneyland
Disadvantages: Not much to eat in the hotel restaurant if your a vegetarian.

...The Hotel in Kyriad at marné la valleé is situated about half a mile from the Disneyland park itself in a little cluster of hotels in the countryside. Getting there couldn’t be easier as it is connected to both of Paris’s airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, by the VEA Shuttle bus (14 euros per person one way) which stops right outside the hotel on request. Guests should note that to return to the airport you have to book the VEA two days in advance at your hotel, however should you forget to do this then you cant catch it without booking at the bus stop in Disneyland. If you arrive by Eurostar then simply take the bus to the Kyriad from the Disneyland bus stop outside the station which operates every five minutes. The hotel itself is styled as a chateau of the Brie region and is most pleasant to stay in. The rooms are clean... Read review
