Background:
When I was growing up the family holiday was something we all really looked forward to, the highlight of the year. In those days foreign holidays tended to be exotic and expensive and Sidmouth was one of our preferred destinations. This was in the early 1980?s and we used to enjoy staying at the Westcliff Hotel in Sidmouth. Now 25 years later my parents and myself wanted to wonder down memory lane and see what the Hotel was like in the present day.
Booking:
I booked our holiday on the Hotels web site (details below). I found the web site, very simple to manage and the information was both interesting and helpful within it. It also gave you a good flavour for the hotel with all its facilities, plus very good pictures of the hotel including its rooms, its gardens and its wonderful views supported it ...
Advantages: Location on main promenade, access to transport. Disadvantages: Noisy in Season
We stayed here in 2006 the last week May, first week June on a "Special" from flyglobespan out of Edinburgh, taken off their website at flyglobespan.com
Flights were good timings to and from Edinburgh, and we were met at Barcelona by their transfer reps service and escorted to our coach. The transfer to Santa Susanna took just over an hour and twenty minutes, but this would obviously be longer in peak season just due to traffic volumes.

The rooms have been re-furbished in that time, and the public areas have very much been upgraded, but the rooms ...
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 ...
