Samsonite Prestige Analyst II

Advantages: quality
Disadvantages: cost

...If you want something that's going to last you forever and if you want to get quality luggage, go for SAMSONITE. You may be thinking that you are going to be spending a bomb on something that is totally uneccessary a total peripheral to your travels but let me tell you that investing in a samsonite is going to save you more moeny than you think. I only wish I could have gotten mine a little earlier just to save more money. The last trip I took to London was three years ago and I had to lug this huge luggage around that first of all did not look glamorous at all and secondly had a detached wheel in just a matter of 17 minutes of being dragged across the streets of London from Mansion House up to the YHA opposite St Paul's cathedral. I was totally disgusted. What the samosonait has done for me is been loyal in not falling apart at times... Read review

Advantages: light
Disadvantages: everything else

...Samsonite Starwalker Cheap very thin plastic shell, no security (all round zipper with 3 digit combo lock) very flexable. Fabric zip cover bound to get caught on baggage handling equipment. Costs way too much (far more than Delsey), looks just like the stuff they sell in Woolworths at £20 for a set. Do you realy want to look this common and have luggage thats almost certain to fail quickly. If you travel occasionaly and then by car/coach its probably OK but if you travel by air this is clearely not intended for you, its way too fragile and thin to stand any chance of stsnding up to any significant amount of wear. The whole thing just screams cheap, tatty and downmarket, the biggest suprise is the cost, its truly eye watering. There should be an option to give no stars, a 1 star rating is way too high for this. One to avoid.... Read review

Disadvantages: None

...Ok, it's a little off the beaten track. (And if you're interested in what a "beaten track" looks like, check out the photo of the main road into Bangem at the time of our visit.) True, it's not a tourist area. But if you should ever find yourself in the town of Bangem in the Kupe Muanenguba division of Cameroon, then the chances are that you'll stay at the Prestige Hotel. For the princely sum of 10,000 CF (Cameroon Francs), equivalent to approximately £10 a night, you can stay here in the area's top rated hotel - we manage to get a bargain price of £8 as we are a group (five of us) and have someone local negotiating for us. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of town, and is fully equipped with both electricity and running water. True, the electricity is rather subject to availability, as the area is prone to power cuts... Read review
