Wellness & Spa Hotel Ambiente, Karlovy Vary

Whittlebury Hall Hotel and Spa

Advantages: Pleasant staff, facilities, closeness to Silverstone
Disadvantages: Remoteness

frustrating to still need to rely on the signs when you've been there for five days in a row and still can't make it to breakfast in the morning without following the signs! The hotel is built around a series of courtyards (containing outside games such as draughts) which I think accounts for the strange layout. The 'inventive' layout prevents the hotel from appearing clinical but makes navigation difficult to say the least! The rooms themselves are lovely. Each room has a king size bed and flat screen TV as well as the usual tea/coffee, hairdryer, desk, phone etc that you'd expect. The bathrooms are also excellent - the tiles are marble and most rooms have double sinks. The rooms are tastefully decorated and always spotless. Once you've finally made it to your room and negotiated your way back to the eating areas you've got a choice ...

Review of Whittlebury Hall Hotel & Spa, Towcester

Karlovy Vary:what to see.

Advantages: Attractive setting,spectacular hot springs.
Disadvantages: Expensive.

Karlovy vary is about an hour from Prague by bus. Bus transport is cheap in the Czech republic so a day trip is posssible if somewhat exhausting. The things you must see are the hot springs that spurt up to 100 feet in the air, the old hotel pup that serves a very civilised afternoon tea. and the communist era hotel in the newer part of the town centre.This builing is awfull in its appearance externally, but so amazingly retro internally that you can visualise Spock appearing in the bar having transported from The Enterprise. Prices for accomodation in Karlovy Vary are comparable and can be higher than Prague.The hotels above the centre are set in attractive grounds but their customer service doesnt seem to be on a par.We were questioned rudely by a hotel manager after a jaccuzi bath overflowed.The expectation seeming to be that we ...

Review of Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic)

The Felbridge Hotel & Spa Hotel

Advantages: Stunning decor, exceptional food, polite, friendly staff
Disadvantages: None

with Indian Head Massage and the energy channels in the body. The spa uses Elemis for face and body treatments and Jessica for nail treatments and also has St Tropez - these are some of the worlds top product ranges. The prices in the spa are very expensive, a Jessica Manicure is approx £40-50 while most high street salons charge approx £20-25 for the same. This is to be expected from all hotel spas though. A price list for all treatments can be found on the hotel website - http://felbridgehotel.co.uk/FileLib/Chakra%20Spa%20Brochure% 202007.pdf (you need adobe acrobat to access this). The Chakra Spa is beautiful, an area of pure indulgence where guests can relax and unwind. The spa has a traquil and relaxing feel throughout the whole place. The hotel also has a fully equipped gym which has the latest equipment which is kept well ...
