Advantages: Good location Disadvantages: a popular hotel for school trips
We arrived in Valencia and we unexpectedly booked ourself a hotel in a bad location. We phoned up our travel agent and explained that we wanted to move to a better location within the same price range. They arranged the EXPOhotel for us within 1 day and when we arrived we were relieved. The location for us was perfect. There was a shopping centre right next to the hotel so shopping was close by and once we managed to work out our map we realised we could walk to most locations in the centre, such as the train station from the EXPO. Walking however was not necessary as there were bus stops right outside our hotel that went to most locations including the Main beach and a metro line was also just around the corner. Our room was perfect for the price we paid (£250 each for two weeks) it had all amentities that you would expect in ...
Advantages: Beautiful hotel and great value Disadvantages: Not too near the city centre
The Renaissance Hotel in Brussels forms part of the Renaissance chain of Hotels which in turn is owned by Marriott. I stayed at this hotel whilst on holiday in Brussels in August 2003 and found the hotel to be really good value in Summer (as all the business people are on holidays so the best time and cheapest time to visit Brussels is this time of year!)
The room:
The hotel bedroom that we had was well furnished and came with two Queen size beds, although room are available with one larger King Size bed. The room had a TV with satellite TV and a few okay English channels including BBC World. It also came with the usual trapping such as hairdryer, in room safe (very useful for passports and money!) as well as an iron and ironing board and trouser press. If you are here on business there is a large desk with ISDN line ...
Advantages: Convenient location near the city centre, very good breakfast Disadvantages: Not very nice rooms with no view, the bathrooms are not very nice
Well I don't know whether I should recommend this hotel or not.... Basically, if like us, you are given the option of staying in this hotel as part of a special deal, then go for it; but if you have to pay full price for the room, then just stay away from it! We ended up in this hotel as part of a wonderful 2 for 1 package in February which included eurostar travel from London to Brussels and one night at the hotel - all for just 120 pounds for the two of us!! So having paid that little, I find this hotel exceeded my expectations.
The hotel receptionist was ok but not incredibly friendly and did not smile very much. The staff in general were helpful but not overly friendly.
To get to our room in the top floor, we had to use a lift that was not very nice, actually it reminded me of hospital lifts and then ...
