A Palatial Hotel fit for a Queen

Advantages: A wonderfully characteristic hotel
Disadvantages: None

...very easy to find. The Alcazar de la Reina Hotel is situated in the heart of the old town. It's not hard to find as it's more than adequately signposted, but it's still a bit of an ordeal driving to it. The old town was not designed with the automobile in mind (in fact I doubt whether the wheel was even invented when much of this place was built!) and you must negotiate a torturous and convoluted route through the incredibly narrow streets and lanes ...
...be quite hair-raising - I don't have much hair so I was alright. When we eventually cleared the claustrophobic streets, we found ourselves at one of the highest points of the town with a car-park and small mirador at one side, and a magnificent, restored former palace at the other. Surely this impressive building couldn't be our hotel? A quick double-take confirmed that indeed it was. Although it dates from the 17th century, the building was totally ...

Review of Alcazar de la Reina Hotel, Carmona

A MODERN AND EXCELLENT HOTEL NEXT TO A ROMAN CITY

Advantages: Excellently equipped and good service, close to the city.
Disadvantages: Lack of restaurant

...worth a visit. APARTHOTEL CIUDAD DE LUGO The hotel itself, I believe, is a modern hotel, established in 2004, and is situated approximately 50 yards outside the Roman wall. It is also situated approximately 5 minutes away from the nearby hospital and the university. The hotel has 39 outward facing rooms with combined sitting rooms, and kitchenette areas. The rooms, as do most hotel rooms these days, also have a television, telephone, internet ...
...The hotel has a cafeteria / snack bar, but no restaurant, although there are two restaurants nearby whereby the hotel has a special arrangement. ROOMS The hotel itself has various sized rooms to accommodate different sized parties. The room that we had was not the largest, but did have a kitchenette and sitting room and a bathroom. The kitchenette was very well equipped and spacious, with everything one could need for a sort stay. Items ...

Review of Aparthotel Ciudad De Lugo, Lugo

2 STAR HOTEL THAT SHOULD BE FAR MORE

Advantages: Excellent value for money and extremely clean and tidy
Disadvantages: Slightly to far to be able to walk to city centre

...ones that had vacancies, the hotel rooms were very expensive. Luckily, one of the hotels recommended the Hotel Santa Lucia on the outskirts of the city. At first, we thought it would not be good as we didn’t really want to stay on the outskirts as we would have preferred one in the centre so that we could visit all the attractions on foot without having to rely on the car, but as we could not find anything central, we decided to go to the Hotel Santa ...
...hotel itself is found on the Santiago – Orense road, very close to another major road – the A9 La Coruna – Vigo. It is approximately 13 km from Santiago de Compostela Airport (roughly a 15 minute drive). * In reality, although it is situated on the outskirts of Santiago De Compostela, it is very close to the city, approximately 3 km away, and roughly 5 minutes travel in a car, but even this distance could make it too far to walk into the centre ...

Review of Hotel Santa Lucia, Santiago de Compostela

Sol Timor Hotel - Great Location and Great Value

Advantages: Location, Price, Staff
Disadvantages: Not the height of luxury

...simply log on to the Sol Melia (the international hotel chain) website - www.solmelia.com - and see how easy it is. There's a menu for entering your date of travel, party size and preferred location (with an option for entering specific hotels) and then it returns a list of rooms available and their prices. Simply select the one you want and enter your credit card details. They don't take payment there and then (you pay when you check out of the ...
...are two buildings at the Sol Timor and if you've ever stayed at a Sol Hotel before, you'll know exactly what to expect. They're exactly the same as all the others - tiled floors, large open spaces and thousands of rooms! You aren't getting luxury, but it is more than adequate for somewhere where you want to spend most of your time on the beach catching rays. -The Rooms- There are lots of different types of rooms - from family rooms that accomodate ...

Review of Sol Timor Apartamentos, Torremolinos

clean and friendly

Advantages: clean, friendly,beautiful views, plenty to do,good value for money,great food
Disadvantages: being away from main resort but only about 1 mile

we had a very pleasant holiday two weeks halfboard, staff were friendly and helpful, food and drink very good ,sometimes had to wait to be served at bar after dinner though. Entertainment was good ,especially kids disco about 8.00pm every night. The animacion team were very good with varied activities throughout the day- prizes given out at night. You are not badgered into participating like some hotels. Very quiet hotel with nice outlook. There ...
...About 1 mile walk to nearest good beach at playa limones where there is also a good but small selection of restaurants. Taxi fare from airport roughly 50 euros. Also about 7 euros to rubicon marina well worth a visit, market here wednesdays and saturdays- good bargains. Overall very happy with our stay will return. This was our 3rd stay here and if we had to say one thing that impressed us more than anything else it would have to be the excellent ...
