Novotel Troyes Aeroport, Troyes

Advantages: Backdrop to a some great tales
Disadvantages: Difficult to understand what you are seeing, not much to see

...Every year thousands of holiday makers in Turkey visit Troy; quite remarkable when you consider that Troy is only “thought” to be the site of the ancient city that Homer called Ilium in his work "The Iliad" and even more remarkable when you find out that it’s a really difficult site for casual visitors to appreciate because what you get is not the remains of one ancient city, but nine cities, one on top of the other. For a long time Troy was thought to be the stuff of legend but some historians were convinced that Troy had existed and many excavations were carried out in Turkey looking for proof. The work of one of them, a German archaeologist, Henirich Schliemann forms the basis of what visitors to Troy see now. WHERE IS TROY?

...When one of my best friends got married yesterday (Sunday 19th December 2005) the location that she chose was the Novotel in Sheffield. This location was chosen for the entire day, which included the Civil Wedding at 2.30pm, the meal afterwards at 4pm and the evening reception which started at 7.30pm.

...Another hotel in my recent hotel visit to Paris and this time the Novotel Tour Eiffel. I was really looking forward to arriving at this hotel because I had heard so much about it and so I already had an idea in my head about what it would be like. The hotel: The hotel is a 4 star hotel that is located quite close to the Eiffel tower on the left bank in the 15th Arondissement of Paris. It is in fact just across the main road from the river bank. It is also within easy reach of the Louvre. The hotel is obviously part of the Novotel chain and is fairly easy to spot as it is quite a garish red/orange colour in one section. Location: As mentioned it is in the 15th Arondissement and is situated at 61 Quai De Grenelle. The hotel is on the main road so is easy to find when coming along the road. First impressions: The building is... Read review
