Hotel du Nouveau Forum, Montreal

Advantages: Big rooms, good location, no blood on the ceiling
Disadvantages: Slow lifts, shallow swimming pool

...Okay, this is my first travel review, as such, and that puts me in the dangerous position of being up for comparison with Koshkha, Richada and Torr, all of whom are brilliant at holiday writing, and are, in my opinion, possibly the greatest Writers Of All Time (although I haven't read anything by Dickens yet). So if you want to compare me to them - please don't, because I'm a fragile person. Right, disclaimer out the way. I went to Canada with my family this year, and our first stop: Montreal. In Montreal, you could find yourself staying in a Hotel, and if this is the case, then I can tell you now; the Hotel Omni would be a darn good choice for your stay. As soon as you walk in, you're in a marble tropicalia, with a big statue of a woman sitting down by reception and some of the most ludicrous chandeliers you've ever seen hanging... Read review

...Much as though the bathrooms in particular are becoming rather dilapidated, this hotel still represents good value for its price band. It is the tallest Hotel in London. The rooms themselves are good. The beds are comfortable, but occasionally I have found dirty fridges with leftover food inside. They assured me they would tighten up on this, as I had this same problem on more than one occasion. The common areas have recently been refurbished and there is a bar which is quite fun in the evenings. It is used by quite a few airline staff. It is located just off the Cromwell and Gloucester Roads, SW7 and has close access to the tube (2 minutes) and thus Heathrow Airport, as well as being on lines which take you to the City, Victoria (for Gatwick) and the West End. Buses are not so good (only 2 routes I think), but taxis... Read review

...A first time traveller to Kota Kinabalu need not be afraid of not finding good accomodation. Kota Kinabalu has a very good range of suitable hotels for both the tourist and business traveller. The Shangri-la Tanjung Aru has long been established as a popular beach front resort hotel which is located approximately 20 minutes from the centre of the city. It has a nice relaxed atmosphere and a very good buffet breakfast spread which even includes japanese noodles and sushi. Prices are relatively high but promotional offers during non peak seasons can be very good. A newer and undoubtably my favourite hotel is the Sutera Harbour Hotel, located next to Magellan and the Royal Yacht Club. The rooms have very big windows which afford stunning views of the sunset on the clear waters or if you opt for the left wing, then a view of the 18... Read review
