Advantages: Nice breakfast. good location Disadvantages: Broken things in the rooms, insects in the first room
Recently I was in Drammen, near Oslo (Norway), for a wedding. We stayed at the Rica Park Hotel since that was the hotel chosen for the wedding guests to stay at. I think we had a special deal since there were so many people from the wedding staying there, but a double room for 2 nights including breakfast was 1400NOK. XE.com tells me that with todays exchange rate, that works out at around £139.
The hotel has 100 rooms, which consist of 2 suites, 5 business rooms and 93 double or single rooms.
'Rica' are quite a large chain of hotel with hotels all over Norway, and the other Scandinavian countries too.
When you walk into the hotel it looks really nice. There is a big wooden reception desk and there are stone statues around the place. There is also a bar to your right, and the restaurant to your left. There is a grand looking ...
Advantages: The pool was big Disadvantages: Filthy dirty, dreadful staff
With eldest son working in Turkey for the summer, we decided it was time for mum to go visit and spoil his fun. So, a quick surf around the various travel agents found us a great deal, leaving at the time we wanted, going to the resort we wanted, and promising a 4 star hotel for around £200 each b and b, including airport taxes and transfer fees.
So... having landed in Bodrum, paid our fees to get into the country, we had about an hour journey (100km) to Altinkum and our first sighting of The First Class Hotel. It is actually situated about 10 minutes from the main promenade, and in the area where most of the hotels are situated, with shops and bars close by.
Up the steps and into the lobby which was a large area with cream suede sofas (what possessed them?). A quick look around revealed a large starcase with a dirty worn out ...

the opposite wall with one hand and the shower door with the other and swing yourself up and out, and this was positively dangerous. After a couple of goes we sussed out the technique but it was still pretty dodgy, and we're in our 20s - I wouldn't want to attempt this if I was pregnant, disabled or older. Another pain was the water in the shower and basin which was incredibly salty and made your skin and hair go really peculiar and uncomfortable, and despite making sure I kept my mouth closed I always ended up with salt water in my mouth which made me feel queasy.
2) Cleanliness (or lack of) - The majority of the downstairs of the hotel, the parts non-residents saw, were generally quite clean and smart, although the toilets were absolutely filthy. On both occasions that I went in there I walked straight out again as they were so disgusting. They ...
