Grand Hotel, Amritsar

Advantages: Great location, fair price
Disadvantages: Surly service with too much attitude

...about Sikhism than at its heart. On a list of modern day wonders of the world, the Golden Temple would have to be right up there in the Premier League. I was so fixated on the temple that it had blinded me to the task of finding out what else there was to do in Amritsar. I had in my mind an image of a leafy garden city abounding in beauty and basking in the golden glow of its most famous attraction. I convinced myself that there must be LOADS of things to do in the most holy Sikh city. I booked a hotel for 3 nights for my husband and me and our friends booked just the one night because they needed to head back to their father's village due to some family 'troubles'. Thus hubby and I were facing a massive three and a half days to see a city that can easily be 'knocked off' in 24 hours if you are pushed for time. Thankfully, I'd at least... Read review

...Grand Plaza Parkroyal Hotel is located in the good area of Yangon, Burma/Myanmar. It is situated near the downtown area and the standard of the hotel is acceptable even though it is not a 5 stars hotel. Just beside of the hotel, there is a shopping plaza for clothing and food. One of the biggest cinemas in myanmar is located beside the hotel. Bogyoke market, which is one of the toursit attractions for selling jewels, clothes and traditional presents, is very near (3 minutes walk) from the hotel location.

Most of the local people hire conference rooms for business purposes in this hotel among so many hotels in Yangon.... Read review

Disadvantages: None.

...Las Vegas is synonymous with many things including opulence, splendour, outrageous facilities and everything "larger than life". Price, is one thing that is usually not associated with Las Vegas, however. Nevertheless, the MGM Grand Casino can now finally put that expensive reputation to rest. The MGM Grand is officially the second largest hotel in the world and offers superb facilitied, excellent sized rooms with superb levels of cleanliness and very helpful staff. The Casino itself is wonderful, as expected along with a vast array of restaurants with many resident super chefs. Along with all this you have the added bonus of an area where you can see real life lions who are in fact descendents of the original MGM lions! Overall a superb hotel and a superb experience. Highly recomended.... Read review
