Fenix Hotel, Escaldes-Engordany

Advantages: Central madrid and very good service
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...This hotel is fantastic....but it should be at the price! I paid Euros 280 for a double bedded room with single occupancy on July 22nd. The hotel claims to be central and it is if Central means the terminal for the bus from the airport! But actually it is about two miles North of the city centre so be prepared to take a taxi for the real centre of Madrid from the hotel. I arrived at Madrid Barajas airport and decided to take a taxi. There is a bus advertised that stops outside the hotel but I am lazy! However I was ripped off! Officially it should cost about 15 Euros from the airport. I know because a colleague of mine took the same ride only one day earlier. My cab driver was very good at talking about my family, where I lived, have I ever been to Spain etc etc. When we arrived he was pointing out a good restaurant and when I... Read review

...Address: Ve Smečkách 30, 110 00 Prague 1 Tel.: 00420-2250 12 000 Fax: 00420-2222 12 141 Email: hotel.fenix@kkhotels.cz Website: http://www.kkhotels.com/index.asp?ID=281 This hotel is located just off of Wenceslas Square in central Prague and is approximately 25 minutes drive from Prague airport. The airport bus, which links the airport to the metro system at Dejvická, minibuses and taxis are available for transfer from the airport to the centre of Prague. The metro station closest to the hotel is Muzeum. The hotel itself is bright, very modern and absolutely spotless; the rooms are comfortable and well furnished with all the basics that one needs. Some may consider the rooms a bit on the small size, but I had a single room and there was enough room for me, and I'm not a small guy; anyway I never plan to spend a lot of time... Read review

Advantages: Romantic city with so much to see and do and the people are welcoming
Disadvantages: Not as cheap as it used to be for things to bring home

...Words cannot describe the beauty of Prague, you've got to go I took my husband there last year for a surprise 40th birthday. We flew with British Airways from Heathrow (the seats were leather - and we went economy), on arrival we took a taxi from the airport, there are easy to find and not that expensive. I had been led to believe that you had to almost bartar a rate but that wasn't the case, they operate to a set charge. It took about 40 minutes I suppose to reach our hotel the K + K Fenix just off the main shopping avenue. The hotel is 1st class the rooms are spacious and modern as is the hotel itself - its only 2/3 years old. The breakfasts are wonderful, lots of choice and lots of it. From our hotel we were very central, the museum was up a small hill to the right and the shopping was to the left. They even have a Tesco's. I thought... Read review
