Gran Hotel, Mendoza

Advantages: Christmas and new years great there
Disadvantages: The rooms wernt that modern

...I stayed at the 4 star Gran Tinerfe December 2006 for Christmas and New Year. Me my dad and brother had never being away for Christmas, which made us curious on what actually happens in a foreign country at Christmas time in a hotel. Christmas day we booked a gala meal which was like an 8 course meal I'm a fussy eater so I didn't really enjoy it as much as everyone else, but my dad loved it, there was duck and all the trimmings and they had alternative meals for vegetarians. On new years and Christmas I think we got free wine (let me know if I'm wrong) my memories pretty bad, but I must say new years was the best new year of my life! It was planned to perfection. We had our New Year gala meal and then the living room areas were set up with lots of booze etc and we were all giving party hats and other party treats in this goodie bag... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, all inclusive, large bar area
Disadvantages: Noisy, small pool area for size of Hotel

...I have only completed 1 review and that was 6 years ago but as none have been done for this Hotel thought I would have another go, here it is: I took my partner and our 6 year old son for a cheap holiday during October 2006 half term, after looking at several deals we opted for an all inclusive here mainly because of the cost.

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
