Review of Quality Hotel, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

better than where i was gonna stay

Advantages: cheap,good location
Disadvantages: not many

****Royal Station Hotel-Newcastle**** Initially my friend and i booked into a Travelodge but we decided very quickly that we needed another hotel and this is the one we ended up staying in. **Location/Getting there** This hotel is located right next to the train station which is fantastic,nothing worse than a long journey followed by having to find a hotel.There is loads of places to eat nearby,plenty to see and do.The bus station is also quite nearby ...
...**Reception/staff** The hotel looks really nice from the outside-a grand looking building.Reception looks really nice with big chandlers hanging from the ceiling and there are two lifts.Staff were nice and i had the option of paying straight away or when i checked out. **Hotel/Room** The room i stayed in was a twin room and it had a complimentary mini-bar.Room had an en suite with a great shower and a phillips flat screen tv **Other** Room service ...

Early Birds Need a Nest Before Flying

Advantages: A budget choice for an early start
Disadvantages: Don't expect anything very special. This is functional rather than stylish

...the first day of my holiday if I was dead to the world. Possibly the only thing that stops the Estonian capital of Tallinn being totally over-run by British stag parties is that you can only get a budget flight there from Stansted. I generally loathe airport hotels with the exception of the Radisson at Stansted but a night there would have made my cheap weekend not a cheap weekend at all. I hunted through the hotel booking sites and was uninspired ...
...loyalty scheme which covers Holiday Inn hotels) and booked a night at the Holiday Inn Express at Stansted after I learned that it was right next to the Mid-Stay car park. First of course, as you'd expect, I made sure I could get a good deal on the car parking too. To park at the HIE would have cost me £15 a night which was well over what I was prepared to pay. So I booked 3 nights at the Mid-Stay through www.holidayextras.co.uk for just £19.50. Result! ...

Review of Holiday Inn Express Stansted Airport, Stansted

Nice small airport

Advantages: small
Disadvantages: don't announce flights

East Midlands Airport is at Castle Donnington which is located on the M1 in the Nottingham area. When arriving by motorway (either way) there are sufficient signs which enable to the traveller not to get lost and also means that if you don't have a sat nav or are not good at reading maps (I'm rubbish) then you should get here fine and hopefully on time, allowing for traffic! It is important that sufficient time is given to arrive at the airport to ...
...horrendous roadworks at the moment and so this must be taken into consideration when working out travel time to the airport. Once entering the airport area there are signs which detail the various types of car parking or where the drop off areas are allowing the traveller to find the zone they require easily. I would recommend if travelling from this airport to pre book car parking if needed as it is cheaper to pre book then just turn up. The airport ...

Review of Thistle East Midlands Airport Hotel, Derby

Unbeatable value at "The Grand Hotel" Scarborough

Advantages: Children stay free!! If you have a window then the views are fantastic. The rooms are excellent.
Disadvantages: Limited parking and you have to pay. No room service or phone in your room.

...have had 4 breaks at The Grand, and will definately be going back, and have always booked premier rooms. We like the "Turet" rooms best, we booked it as a double for 2 of us but this room is so unusual, it contains 2 bedrooms both with it's own tv, and a lovely spa bathroom that has 2 doors for each bedroom. The unusual circular shaped rooms have smashing views of the town and beach, Perfect for 4 adults or a family booking. if any of your party ...
...3 hour free bar and the queues are ridiculas, best try and get 8pm-11pm and at least the last hour is much easier to get served. There is no queueing on premier dining,the food is more what you would call like "Home cooking" if you want something special the just book bed and breakfast as there is so many good resurants nearby. We stayed as a family booking of 10, the hotel was full but we had no trouble finding seating in the public area on the ...
