Stella Hotel, Hanover

Advantages: Ease of use, good offers
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

...The Hanover International Hotel chain only have hotels in the UK (well actually having checked the locations it is only England and Wales). They have 14 Hotels in Skipton, Huddersfield, Scunthorpe, Ashbourne, Hinckley, Daventry, Dunstable, Harpenden, Cardiff Bay, Bromsgrove, Reading, Basingstoke, Chewton(Bristol) and Eynsham (Oxford). The hotels are all 3 or 4 stars and 'most' of the ones I have visited are very good. All have good facilities such as pools, saunus, gyms, and most offer good business facilities as well. The standards of hotel and service vary quite a lot across the hotel chain so it pays to check out each hotel prior to any visit. For example, the Hinckley hotel is a very large modern and impersonal hotel. The staff are reasonable, the restaurant is passable and the facilities are excellent. Compare this... Read review

Advantages: Clean, friendly, low cost for what you get
Disadvantages: Bit far out of town

Granted it is more for the business traveller due to it's location but all the same it's very smart. ***LOCATION & TRANSPORTATION LINKS*** The location is really the only downside to such a superb hotel. Located in the South East of the city, the hotel is about 8 km from the city centre and almost 25km from the airport. It is within walking distance (infact a bridge connects it) to EXPO trade grounds and is next to the TUI arena. So really the hotel is more for business travellers rather than tourists and this is where the hotel has decidedly aimed the hotel at. Despite this, the hotel is still easily accessible. It is positioned within walking distance to the MESSE OST tram stop which... Read review

Advantages: Nice Crisp Taste
Disadvantages: Can get you drunk very quickly

...So its the first time you walked into a pub, your still 16 and faced the bar trying to make up your mind about what to drink. Then something suddenly hits you that maybe you should try Stella it sounds cool. That first decision came 4 years ago in a pub that no longer bears the same name, however unlike the pub my drinking habits haven't changed dramatically. One of Belgium's more famous beer exports Stella has been around since 1717 when Sebastian Artois bought the Duchy of Leuven Brewery in Den Horen and originally started brewing Stella. The brewery had been brewing beer since 1366 but really took off after the brewery was bought. The first time Stella was released it was as a limited edition for Christmas with the Stella star on the bottle to represent the Christmas Star. Of course Stella in Britain is no longer imported from... Read review
