Best Western Hotels

...tells you nothing about this Best Western hotel. Located on the outskirts of Kendal, around 9 miles from junction 36 of the M6, the hotel is set in large grounds with a mixture of traditional and modern looking buildings. The reception area is, peculiarly, set to the rear of the building but is large and welcoming with lounge, bar and restaurant openly attached. Checking in proved simple, even though I was not offered the obligatory wake up call ...
...read the paper and the telly in the room was capable of being programmed to wake me up. Now, as my company has a Scot in charge, I found myself sharing a room with a male colleague. Not usually a problem. Until we found a 4ft double bed as the only sleeping facility in the room. Now, I am a big chap. My wife would not wish to share a double bed of this size with me. I certainly would not wish it on another bloke. And that is before all the macho ...

Review of Best Western Hotels

...hotel. We chose the Best Western Hotel of Les Lapins. SAGA gave a very full description of this hotel and we decided to try it. Les LAPINS (at Ta'XbieX ((Say, tashbeesh)), as you will know, if you understand French, means "The Rabbits", which are very prolific and popular on the Maltese Islands and form a great part of the local culinary delights. We opted for a balcony (slight supplement) overlooking the Marina which is situated just behind Valetta ...
...Best tip - take a case full of ironing on holiday!! The rooms all had television but, don't get exited, most of the stations were in European languages other than English, except BBC World News 24/7. Chance to brush up on a foreign language. The Marina was across a quiet road with a bus stop right outside the Hotel and the quaint or antiquated buses were along every 10 minutes or so. Very cheap and interesting way to travel, together with the local ...

Review of Best Western Hotels

Best Western Hotels are among the world’s largest hotel brands but is actually somewhat unusual. This international hotel chain is made-up of individually owned and operated hotels and inns around the globe. However, reputedly it is not easy to qualify for membership of Best Western – prospective members must meet some very exacting standards and each hotel in UK is independently inspected on an annual basis by the AA. Globally there ...
...country manor houses. Among Best Western hotels in London are the Delmere Hotel, Hyde Park, the John Howard Hotel, Kensington, the Mornington Hotel, Lancester Gate, Raglan Hall, Highgate and Bryanston Court, Marble Arch. There are a number of hotels in Scotland in locations such as Dumfries, Edinburgh, Fort William, Glasgow, Kinross, Pilochry and the hallowed home of golf at St. Andrews. Best Western hotels in Wales are to be found at places such ...

Review of Best Western Hotels

...quick-fix urban monstrosity. The Best Western Hotel in Kiel rose up out of an existing office block and despite some attempts to disguise the fact, it shows. In terms of four star status it doesn't deserve it if you compare what you get in most four star hotels in the rest of Europe. I stayed there for four days in the middle of January 2009. It was comfortable. No frills, no pretty soaps or shampoos - no "night-night chocolates" - Plain but functional. ...
...across the road from the Best Western there was a Kurdish cafe selling half a roast chicken with salad and yoghurt for 3.40€ - what else can I say!! The Best Western isn't cheap but it is convenient - the Main Railway Station and the city centre that surrounds it, is a 10 minute walk down from the hotel. All car parking for clients is free, which is not the case in many of the other hotels in Kiel that I had checked out on the internet. So all ...
