One of the best hotels for its price around

Advantages: Comfort, very friendly, pleasure, modern, helpful, terrific breakfast
Disadvantages: parking

Having stayed at this hotel for the weekend, I want to go back again next. My partner is pregnant and the room we was allocated was above the bar, so the receptionist (nicest i have even know) moved us to the furthest point away, so she could sleep better. The hotel is going through a major refurishment with just the reception left, and have installed designer furniture with clean lines and LCD TV's in each room, Each bathroom is spotless, with power ...
...was to die for, anything and everythig available, and as much as you can eat for no extra, cooked fresh, top quality and full of flavour. Whilst there we visited bournemouth, but we ate something dodgy, which on the saturday night, re-appeared, (will spare you the details) but my partner was so ill we called the doctor (hotel organised everything) on sunday morning, worrying about the baby. He advised sleep, so she slept all afternoon the hotel said ...

Review of Highfield House Hotel, Southampton

Hotel Ibis Southampton

Advantages: Comfy Bed, Easy to park
Disadvantages: Not that easy to find, expensive for 2 star

We arrived after a long 5 hour journey in the heatwave of last year. It took a while to locate the hotel as it is on a retail park and its not somewhere you would expect to find a hotel! We stayed at this hotel having booked months in advance as we were watching a concert in Southampton. At the time of booking over the phone we were told that the room would be 65 pound for the night. So we booked the hotel and thought nothing of it. On arriveal ...
...as it was an event night. When checking in they continued to charge us £79 until we mentioned we had booked it for £65. After discussing it with the snappy manager the price was reduced. It was a busy day for them and I dont think they could be bothered arguing about the price. But good enough they went on our word of £65 and did not require any proof that was what we had been quoted. The hotel was well decorated better than 2 star as it suggests ...

Review of Ibis Southampton Centre, Southampton

Premier Inn Gatwick - Exceptional value for money, comfy & clean!

Advantages: Excellent value for money, very comfortable, clean and tasty food.
Disadvantages: A bus ride away from the North terminal

I have flown from Gatwick airport early in the morning on several occasions and have always found it much easier to stay the night before and leisurely wander over to the North Terminal in the morning rather than try and make my way down in the car or on the train. I have stayed at both the Sofitel at Gatwick and the Premier Inn therefore, will review both however please be aware this is for the Premier Inn at Gatwick. I have stayed at the Premier ...
...shower. The Premier Inn Gatwick has a restaurant downstairs as well as a bar where you can order food from their bar menu. The restaurant menu is simple but the food is good, and includes dishes such as Spaghetti Bolognese and steak (as of September 2009). The bar menu is a little more basic with dishes such as pizza and burgers taking pride of place. The beauty of the bar menu however, is that you can order your food and then take it back to your ...

Review of Gatwick Airport Central Premier Inn, Gatwick

We had a great time at The Shears Inn, Collingbourne Ducis

Advantages: A place to relax and unwind in the countryside, with excellent food.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...from a short stay at The Shears Inn at Collingbourne Ducis. This lovely thatched inn is enhanced by the quality of the welcome received, the relaxed atmosphere and the excellent food and drink, served by Sophie, always with a smile. We were just 15 minutes away from the stunning Stonehenge, where we enjoyed our visit on a cold but sunny morning, and 20 minutes from the lovely town of Marlborlborough where there is lots to do and see. The Inn itself ...
...alongside gallops where you may see the local race horses excercising if you are up early enough. It is a great base if you are a keen walker, there were people staying who brought their dog who was also made very welcome. All in all a great place to stay. ...

Review of The Shears Inn

Stunning hotel both inside and out

Advantages: The room, the price, everything really except the car park
Disadvantages: The car park!

Thought I would share my experience staying at this hotel last year. When I originally booked I just wanted a standard room, unfortunately they were all booked so the person on the phone said I could have a family room, which would be the same price. The hotel is a bit difficult to find if you are not familiar with Manchester city centre, however the main problem is the car park - TOTAL NIGHTMARE!! CAR PARK It's way too small for the number of ...
...When I arrived around 5pm it was full and I was not the only person disppointed. However the hotel had employed someone to direct you to another carpark, the problem was he was as much use as a chocolate teapot!! He was difficult to understand (I'm not against foreign people working in the UK), but when you've been in a car for nearly 5 hours and just want to park the wretched thing the last thing you want is to hear is a person speaking broken english ...
