Trianon Palace & Spa, Versailles

A trip to the Trianon

Advantages: Reasonable, friendly staff, location
Disadvantages: Poor breakfast

Mr Tart and myself recently went to the Loire Valley for a short chateaux tour. We wanted to stay somewhere that would be in the middle so that we could get easy access to all the many chateaux that I wanted to see so we settled on Tours as our base. We trawled through a few review sites and eventually settled on the Hotel Trianon. LOCATION: The hotel is located at 57 Avenue Grammont. The street is one of the main roads through Tours and is therefore fairly easy to find. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the old town which is where the main restaurant and tourist areas are but this was easy enough. There were also plenty of restaurants and amenities on the same street so you don?t need to go into the old town if you don?t want to (although it is worth the walk). The main advantage we found with the location of this hotel ...

Review of Trianon Hotel, Tours

Partying at the Palace (ish)

Advantages: Comfortable, clean, good staff
Disadvantages: A few faults, doesnt live up to expectations

This review is about my Christmas party experience at the Strand Palace Hotel. This year, I was in charge of organising our office Christmas party, and, being based in South East London, the department tends to head to Bromley or Greenwich for a meal. But this year we decided to go all out, and go 'up west', and so I came across the Strand Palace hotel on my googlequest and we decided to go posh as well. The booking process was slightly tiresome, seeing as the particular member of staff we made our booking through was somewhat challenged in the brains department. The initial booking process was easy. We booked ourselves in for the three-course carvery meal, and then Channy and I (the office babies) were sent scuttling around collecting everybody's cash (£33 per head). All was sent in when a couple of weeks later, the girl calls me ...

Review of The Strand Palace Hotel, London

Moon Palace - all inclusive luxury

Advantages: An away from it all oasis - that will cater for your every need
Disadvantages: Isolated from main resort

The scale of the Moon Palace is hard to comprehend - we arrived at night and after check in we meandered our way through to our room - it seemed a long way. The walkways to the rooms are covered and uncovered - however the covered ones are laid out in such a way that it is possible to get all the way back to your room without getting wet should it rain. We went in the June and it was prone to the odd shower but then immediately warmed agained. The walkways are perfectly suited for disabled access. The room blocks are gound, 1st and 2nd floor, so lots of ground floor rooms. The rooms are fabulous - a large queen sized bed, a large jacquzi bath at the end of the bed seating area, TV, large bathroom with a very large shower with a seat in it. And all the usual facilities you expect in a hotel of this stature. The doors are not air tight ...
