Advantages: Excellent value for money and extremely clean and tidy Disadvantages: Slightly to far to be able to walk to city centre
season, it looked like nearly all of the hotels were full and in the 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 Lucia.

When we went to check in there was a queue, which went down quite quickly as there were 3 people on the desk. The person who dealt with us was also very pleasant, and was very helpful when we asked ...
Advantages: Pretty cheap, good value buffet breakfast, quieter than hostels, good transport links Disadvantages: A bus/tram ride from town, may get stag parties staying, too basic for some tastes
Unable to take advantage of a brilliant deal on a three night trip to Iceland because of the meanness of my partner's boss and his colleagues (these people with kids adopt something akin to Tesco's land-banking policy but with holidays, taking everything then not using it at the VERY last minute), once I had the idea of going away for a short break I was determined to make it happen. Alas, most of the flights from my local airport on budget airlines were quite expensive at such short notice so I looked at Easyjet Holidays which offer a flight/hotel combination and which appeared to be quite good value. Of course, it wouldn't make my flight any cheaper but the policy of bulk-buying rooms means you do get a good deal on the accommodation.
The cheapest deal meant staying at Hotel Start; it's classed as a two star, though I tend to ...
