Harmony Boutique Hotel, Mykonos

The Perfect Boutique Hotel

Advantages: Fabulous decor; impeccable customer service;
Disadvantages: I had to leave!

Last week my boyfriend turned 26 and I wanted to surprise him and take him away somewhere swanky for a short break. We both work very hard and long hours so I was after somewhere where we could relax and switch off from everything for a couple of days and just feel a bit pampered. After lots of research, Dublin seemed like the ideal place and after checking out some reviews on tripadvisor, The Dylan hotel looked like the perfect choice, being rated the 2nd best hotel in the city. The Dylan is a 5 star boutique hotel based slightly outside of Dublin's main centre in a 19th-century townhouse that used to house the nurses of the nearby hospital. It's located on the South side of town by the canal in a quiet side street in a residential part of town, so you're unlikely to be bothered by any noise, but is a quick and very straightforward ...

Review of Dylan Hotel, Dublin

Brilliant reviews for Boutique hotels

Advantages: Lots of honest reviews on interesting hotels
Disadvantages: Hotels can be quite expensive to stay at

All you have to do is register the card on the website and it allows you to receive free gifts and discounts at the hotels they feature, both in the book and on their website www.mrandmrssmith.com. The book starts with an introduction from the people at Mr and Mr Smith and explain that is has been going for nearly 5 years now. On the second page is where ...

Review of Mr. and Mrs. Smith - UK & Ireland Hotel Collection - Juliet Kinsman

Harmony in the harmonie

Advantages: Comfortable, clean, firndly and helpful staff
Disadvantages: No restaurant available during our stay

When planning a holiday, accommodation is obviously a major part of the decision. Everyone has different objectives in their selection. For our holiday to Vienna, my husband and I set out wants and needs before scouring around for suitable venues. We decided on Hotel accommodation. Although holidaying in major city, we wanted a quiet place to stay but yet close enough to local amenities to enable easy access. We wanted good quality service with double bed and bath. These were our agreed prior requirements. Obviously travel brochures and Internet sites only provide a limited description and a basic picture, so you take a risk. We came across the Hotel Harmonie, with the following blurb, ?The Harmonie Hotel occupies a quiet location, next to a park belonging to a French secondary school. It is surrounded by some of the main ...
