I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights.
LOCATION:
The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal.
PRICE:
Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time ...
Advantages: Tasty, traditional, Aroma and looks Disadvantages: nothing
Holland's pies are produced in their North of England Bakery at Baxenden Lancashire,
I'm Midlands girl brought up in Stoke-on-Trent, and have been brought up on a rival local Bakery pies and pasties, but over the past few years Holland's have been slowly but surely creeping into our store's and chip shops.
I was a bit hesitant to try them at first, scared of change etc, but I should never of worried. Their pies are really tasty from the pastry exterior through to their superbly filling interior.
Very traditional looking products, I've yet to have one badly baked, they always look pleasing to the eye, and smell like fresh home cooked baking should do.
The fillings regardless of what you choose, from Meat and Potato, Steak, or Meat puddings etc, are always full of tasty succulent meats, rich gravy and soft potato that melts ...

Advantages: Very comfortable beds Disadvantages: Location, Poor room service
etc. I wished I had booked the Una Palace in Via Etnea, which looked brilliant. It is in the main shopping street with loads of cafes, bars, shops etc. and has a roof terrace which would give brilliant views of the volcano. I thought about moving hotels, but couldn't afford to pay again.
My hotel room was very comfortable and clean with a modern bathroom with the usual toiletries. A reasonable buffet breakfast is included in the price. Room service seemed very restricted ? although the bar did toasted sandwiches.
If you are on a tight budget, advance internet booking on Best Western's website gives good value for money for the Hotel Mediterraneo. However, I don?t think this hotel would suit everyone. It certainly wouldn't impress the girlfriend and I wouldn?t want my mother walking round there on her own at night. The streets were ...
