Advantages: Amazing value, first class hotel Disadvantages: Absolutely none
Subotica is just a few miles over the Hungarian border and so gets quite a few visitors from there I expect. It's certainly a place worth visiting and with the nearby lake palic tourist area, there's no shortage of accommodation in the area.
We were only stopping there for one night on our way to Bulgaria and a quick search for a hotel threw up a wide variety of options but when we came across the Hotel galleria, it really was no contest.
Although the hotel is in the centre of town, it's really easy to find. It's just a couple of turns off the main drag and it's well signposted. Parking is free in an underground car park which is always a bonus.
The hotel is a modern building but sits well amongst its surroundings and blends in nicely. It's a six storey building set around a central atrium which houses a shopping centre and some ...
Advantages: Central location Disadvantages: Bad service with grubby rooms
As some of you may already know, I have recently returned from a lovely break in Houston, Texas. The main reason for our trip was to go to "Wrestlemania", the WWE's large yearly event. Yes it is slightly sad to travel 5000 miles for wrestling, but you only live once and I am indeed sad! To ensure the expense and hassle would be worth it, we added an additional 7 night's holiday to the trip, making it a 10 night get away.

My initial reaction when we were told and confirmed on the package, of where we would be staying for the last 3 nights of our trip, I was ecstatic ...
Advantages: That presidential suite looks nice, good views over the city Disadvantages: Service isn't fantastic, above budget for the average traveller
Those of you who attended the Ciao meeting in Birmingham have subsequently pointed out that the Britannia was a bit of a dump. Well, if you ever decide to hold another get together in that fair city, then you might want to save up for a few months and invest in a room at this place.
LOCATION AND GETTING THERE
The Hyatt Regency Hotel is situated off Broad Street, one of the main A-roads in and out of Birmingham City centre. Broad Street has become a haven for bars and restaurants, with a delightful canal side complex and lots and lots of bustling clubs and pubs. As such, it has also become something of a focal point for the hotel trade and there is a real glut of hotels within a 1-mile radius. The Hyatt Regency is perhaps the most distinctive of these hotels, occupying a prime site opposite the concert hall and towering above ...
