House Lodging Apartments Toni, Dubrovnik

Advantages: everything here is advantage
Disadvantages: not too many places to go out after midnight

...with British film director Peter Medak (but without the Kray twin brothers) and talk about his sinus problems in the middle of summer. To casually chat with John Hurt about his first film "The Elephant man" from 60s and clever screenwriting. Or to talk to Christopher Walken about his latest Toni Scott film and dance act in Fat Boy Slim's video. Or with Emily Watson about most memorable work with big Robert Altman. There are many celebrities passing by in their luxurious yachts here. They all stopping by to shop in the very same shops where you can find a nice cheap or expensive piece of clothing or a postcard for yourself. Chris Walken: " Dubrovnik's very beautiful. And I said to John Hurt I was walking home last night with him, you know: Orson Wells will make a fabulous movie here. Last night we were walking and you could almost feel it, like... Read review

...Park Lodge Guest House 122 Summergangs Road HU8 8LP http://www.parklodgehull.com Ok, so firstly a little about this place to set the scene… Park Lodge Guest House is situated in Hull, East Yorkshire, just off one of the main roads running from the town centre.

It has been operating as a guest house for about 20 years, but just over 1 year ago it was down-sized.

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, short flight times
Disadvantages: hotel food is not of a high standard

...I have visited Dubrovnik twice, staying in both a 3 star hotel and a 5 star hotel. The hotel's are spotlessly clean, although generally sparsely furnished. There are few hotels in the Old Town itself, and most hotels are found on the Lapad peninsula. Hotel food is not of a high standard, and I would recommend staying bed and breakfast, and eating in Dubrovnik Town, where there are plenty of good restaurants, with reasonable prices. Buses from the Lapad peninsulka (3-5 kms) from Dubrovnik Town are plentiful and cheap. A "must" is a walk around the City Walls, although best done early morning before the mid-day heat! You look across the ocean and over all the beautiful roofs many of which have been rebuilt, having been heavily bombarded during the war. The cathedral is interesting as is the different architecture... Read review
