Inter Hotel Plaisance, Narbonne

Advantages: Luxurious rooms, great views, helpful staff, great location
Disadvantages: Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

...Yes, it is not cheap. But you get what you pay for. If you want luxurious rooms, great food, (the seafood "all you can eat" buffet is excellent), and friendly staff, then stay here. Go to the top floor, where the swimming pool is located, and take photos of the surrounding area from there. Also the location is good, 3 minutes walk down to Circular Quay, the Opera House, etc., can't be beat. If you need sundry consumables, water, fags, chocolate, toothpaste, etc., then there is a "Open all hours" store on the way up from the harbour. Very useful. Breakfast at the hotel is nice but expensive. Alternatively walk down the hill to Circular Quay and have a full English at one of the Al Fresco cafes, before going for a cruise around Port Jackson, or wherever your fancy takes you. Dinner at the InterContinental is also not cheap... Read review

...want something stronger. There is room to use your laptop and also a fax and modem if this is a working stay, plus three handsets with your telephone! Linen is changed daily and the cleaners are very efficient. Inter connecting rooms are available, if you have young children. There are 451 bedrooms, but only 3 specified suitable for physically challenged people. There are standard rooms, deluxe with King size beds, and different suites.

Advantages: Relatively cheap, fantastic service, handy location
Disadvantages: None

...I have stayed at this hotel twice and it really is great. The staff are really friendly, speak perfect English and cannot do enough for you. For the standard of service and room you get, this is a bargain. We paid less than £100 a night. It is well situated, next to the zoo, near good shops (KDW is within walking distance) and near a main train station with direct links to Berlin - Schönefeld airport (this is the one I use so I don't know about Tegal). You cannot beat the breakfast - absolutely amazing and the little biscuits and cakes you get with a cup of coffee in Marlenes are delicious. I lost my purse the second time we stayed there and when they found it, the manager telephoned at home to tell me it was safe and then posted it back to me. Stay here if you visit Berlin....
