...I had to travel to Dublin for a couple of days on business & because I work to a tight budget for accommodation, I found it hard to find a hotel in the centre of Dublin on my modest budget. If I wanted cheap accommodation I would be stuck on the outskirts of the city & without a car. Unfortunately on the week before Christmas when it's dark at night, that had little appeal.
I eventually found the HarcourtHotel on Harcourt Street well below budget at around £53.00 a night (depending on exchange rate). This was located close to the main shopping area of Dublin (handy at Christmas) & walking distance to a huge selection of restaurants.
I arrived at the hotel at 6.45pm & was impressed with the reception lobby; it must have dated form the early 20th century with period furniture, lighting & the general décor. At this point I was quite...

...This is another hotel from Accor, the founders of Ibis. However i am reviewing the Etap hotel situated on the outskirts of Paris, within an area known as Kremlin Bicetre. In this area, you have the choice between an Ibis hotel, a Novotel and the Etap, as well as various other smaller establishments, of which the Etap is by far the least expensive. The Etap Hotel Paris Porte D'Italie is split into two buildings; Ouest (west) and Est (east). Whereas the western hotel has 144 rooms, the eastern has 171. However both offer the same value for money. But please remember these are low budget, no frills hotels so don't expect to be living in the lap of luxury!
The French Etaps are cheaper than those in the UK and will only set you back 48 Euros (around £33) per room per night. But bear in mind there is a 3 Euro suppliment for the second...
