I work just off the coast of Luanda on a bp fpso (oil boat).
Each trip i've experienced to date has been nothing more than disgraceful.
For starters, the length of time to get through passport control is a joke, on a good day it will take you about 3 hours.
Secondly, the attitude of the locals leaves allot to be desired and they are all looking for extra money, one guy even asked me for some dollars to get an entry form!!
Thirdly, the general hygiene of the place is shocking, its an eye opener to say the least, the majority of local guys working offshore also have no regard to personnel hygiene, every trip i get a bug within the first week and feel rotten for the remainder of the trip, i'm now in the process of a career change.
And last but not least the homeward journey is just as bad as the entry, one of my work party was rejected ...
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: Central location, clean Disadvantages: Food, rooms
We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too.
Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly.
My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern.
I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower.
The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close.
The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated ...
