Windsor Arms Hotel: Unbelievably Bad Hotel

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 07:43:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - 1. My requests to the concierge emailed November 9th and then again on the 15th were not taken care of. Reason being that I did not respond to an email, which I never received. Strange that I received two email communications from the hotel and a phone...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - I was extolling the virtues of the London black cab to my visiting mates while we were on our way to The Hempel for a two night stay. Unfortunately the cabbie didn’t oblige and we were soon meandering through Paddington and Bayswater looking for said...

Sat, 22 Jun 2002 22:18:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - It's October 2000. The Sydney Olympics are almost over. Many Aussies had escaped the mayhem and were decamped in various European and North American locations. Someone came up with the great idea that we should all get together in Greece to watch the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - Hartwell House (Buckinghamshire, UK) had been highly recommended to us on more than one occasion but it was the dog what got us there. Six months ago we adopted a dog from the local Blue Cross Animal Shelter and three months later I was hosting a...

A wee Paris in the English countryside

Fri, 14 Jun 2002 19:40:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - I love this little city and insist that all of my visitors go there for at least a day. There's no use in complaining about the weather when you come to England. You don't come here for the weather. And there's no use in complaining about the tourists...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - Whilst on a visit to Toronto in February 2000 I decided to join some friends on a short trip to Cancun (4 days, 3 nights). This was a last minute trip and the price was almost unbelievable - less than $400 Canadian for flight and all inclusive hotel...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - I've been using Amazon now since they started trading and I've yet to be disappointed with their service. The website is user friendly and their delivery has always been prompt - usually within 48 hours - and their selection is vast. I understand that...

Sheraton On The Park: A large bustling hotel

Thu, 13 Jun 2002 07:13:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - Prior to finding Quay Grand Suites (which I've recently reviewed) this used to be my hotel of choice in Sydney. It's a large pile of marble and dark wood situated on one side of the beautiful Hyde Park and in the center of Sydney's major shopping...

St. Martins Lane: I'd Rather Spend my £'s Elsewhere

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 15:09:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - I travel to London on a regular basis and have stayed at this hotel just once and once was enough. As an exercise in modern design and Starck furniture it's great but the bottom line for me in a luxury hotel is the service and on this count St. Martins...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scvi - I travel to London regularily and have been a bit of a hotel-hopper until The Connaught. But first I have to back track to tell you that my first experience at The Connaught was not very pleasant and I complained to the hotel manager. His response was...
