Design Suites And Towers, Buenos Aires

Advantages: Friendly staff, clean rooms
Disadvantages: Small lift, awful scrambled eggs

...The Kempinski Hotel is ideally located in the centre of Buenos Aires. You are within walking distance of numerous cafes, restaurants, shops, the metro, bus stops and many of the main attractions. It is a small boutique hotel with friendly, competent staff who are happy to help you out. We stayed in the hotel for 6 nights and were very happy with the place. The hotel, is like many others in BA tall and narrow - the lifts barely fit two people, so let the porter take your suitcases up to your room - it is far easier than getting stuck doing it yourself. The rooms are spacious and comfortable - you get a sofa and an en-suite as well as a huge double bed. The room is air conditioned - a must in summer as it is so hot outside. There is cable TV with lots of random English speaking channels - so you can watch movies in English... Read review

It is posh and not for a low budget (17 pounds per persons not wine incl.)However, you have to treat yourself in a place like this! The specialty is tenderloin that in spanish is lomo, but don't worry, the menu is in english too. But what happen if you are visiting the docks? Ah! Here you can can invite yourself to Hereford and try their taste ribs (asado... Read review

Advantages: Something for everyone.
Disadvantages: It's losing it's magic.

...Junction 28, and Junction 24, if traveling North. From the M6 travelling South, take Junction 16 and Junction 15, if traveling North. Alton Towers is signposted from both motorways and also along the A50 and the A500 which runs through Stoke. If coming up the M6 you will pass Birmingham. But do not be mistaken as you will not find it here whatever Ciao thinks! ***ACCOMODATION***The resort, as it now likes to be called, boasts two hotels; Alton Towers Hotel and Splash landings. Whilst Splash landings is themed around a Caribbean Village and water park, with 216 bedrooms in beach hut style with driftwood furniture, window shutters and exotic fabrics, Alton Towers Hotel has two types of bedrooms, 8 different Themed suites and 175 Discovery Bedrooms. The themed rooms vary according to the style. Choose from sleepover Suite, Arabian Nights... Read review
