Mercure Nuremberg Congress, Nuremberg

Advantages: special flair, not a lot of time neccessary
Disadvantages: ~

...With the football WM coming up and taking place in some nice parts of Germany I thought I could introduce you a bit of Nuremberg. And that there is more to see than just the games. Since I don't live far of from there, I thought I can tell you best! Ciao has in the chapter of Nuremberg different attractions I know and can talk about. The first one I do is about the Handwerkerhof (trademen's court). It is a lovely little place, where I always show our visitors around. Since the place is not very big, my review seems to be quite short as well. A BIT OF HISTORY... Nuremberg has a castle, which was built in the 12th century. It has a large city wall, with most of it still being there. Close to the main train station you will find the King's Gate and next to it a little court. This used to be the gun park, but 1971 it was open... Read review

...Nuremberg airport in southern Germany is located about an hour and a half north of Munich. It is a small but very nice airport. It is very easy to find your way around inside the airport. The way to the airport is also very easy. It is well signposted and just easy to reach. Because of its small size you do not need to check in hours before your departure. Sometimes it is sufficient if you turn up at the airport just 30 minutes before your flight. (That depends on the airline though.) It has three flights to London-Stansted daily. They are operated by Eurowings (in co-operation with Lufthansa). Even though the airport is relatively small it has everything one might need. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly, and it is very clean. The only thing that could be improved are the short stay parking spots right in front... Read review

Advantages: Very close to Tate Modern, and Southwark tube station
Disadvantages: Located on the other side of the river from the likes of Oxford Street

...I stayed at the London Mercure London City last weekend as part of a birthday treat from my boyfriend (I believe he booked it as part of a deal with rail tickets/show tickets/hotel, so am unable to tell you how much the hotel costs separately!). We stayed there for one night (a Saturday) after spending the day shopping in Oxford Street and the evening watching Phantom of the Opera at the London Palladium. We were able to check-in from 2 o'clock onwards, and we arrived at approximately 5pm. We were greeted at reception by a member of staff and a trainee, and were offered a smoking or non-smoking room. We opted for a non-smoking room and were given room 502 on the 5th floor. Room 502 is just a few steps away from the lift, and is forwards facing so you can see straight out into Southwark Street. It is a two-person room with a decent... Read review
