Patagonia Park Plaza Kempinski, Patagonia

The best mistake I have ever made...

Advantages: The awe-striking landscapes, the kindness of the people, the food...
Disadvantages: None that I have experinced personally

? Chile can wait?) only served to make me fall even more in love with the place. And that is where I shall end my personal story. ************************************************************ If what you want is to really "get away from it all, and experience another world, then Patagonia should definitely be on your priority list of places to go. The diversity of the landscape is quite surprising, from the jewel like waters and lush forests of the lake district (Bariloche, El Bolsón, San Martín de Los Andes?) to the breathtaking beauty of the glaciers in Los Glaciares National Park, you can hardly stop feeling amazed by everything you see in between as well. The vast expanses of untouched wilderness where you really can feel, be it for only a few hours or days, that you are alone in the world and that the earth has never been ...

Victoria Park Plaza Hotel, London It's More Than A Hotel!

Advantages: Pleasant Staff, Good Customer Service, Nice Breakfast
Disadvantages: Expensive

The Victoria Park Plaza in London is an amazing hotel that has very comfortable, quality rooms and staff who are friendly and professional. The best thing about The Victoria Park Plaza is that it is in a prime position just two minutes from Victoria Station and an easy walk to some of London's main attractions. I found it perfect for shopping and buying souvenirs. There were also quite a number of restaurants close by and my mum who cannot walk far didn't complain once. Although we ate at the hotel we also sampled London's China Town. It is a four star hotel and lives up to the standard. It is situated close to Buckingham Palace, Harrods, Westminster Abbey and Houses of Parliament. The hotel does not allow smoking anywhere near the building which my mum and I really appreciated because we are both none smokers. The smoking ban made ...

Review of Victoria Park Plaza Hotel, London

Riverbank Park Plaza - hotel is cheap and convenient for West End

Advantages: Cheap if you get a discount, very convenient for West End
Disadvantages: Rooms not ready, facilities that didn't work, requests that got lost, wrong keys for room

The Riverbank Park Plaza is a mid-price four-star hotel located on London's Embankment, about 10 minutes walk (with heavy suitcase) from Vauxhall and 20 minutes from Waterloo. It is a comfortable hotel with plenty of lifts, which are definitely needed if you find yourself on the seventh floor. This is not a cheap part of the world to be staying in, and the prices here reflect that. However, if you book ages in advance, then you may be lucky like we were and find a special deal. We went here in July 2009 and the rooms cost about £80 per night. To get this deal, we booked several months in advance and found a special offer which was valid if we booked two consecutive nights. According to their website, the current discounted price is about £110 per night. The hotel itself had many facilities; sadly we did not have time to appreciate ...
