A new establishment on the outskirts of the village, in a pastoral river-side setting with views of Volcan Licancabur (on the border with Bolivia). The bedroom block is arc-ed around the central foyer/lounge/dining building, and an adjacent bathing

Lonely Planet's prediction that this conveniently situated town hotel is destined to be Sucre's best is probably not an exaggeration. The old-style colonial architecture with period furnishings is complemented by all modern comforts impeccably maint

A Reunion for 40+ former employees of the Consortium of International OIl Companies that operated the Iranian oil installations, prior to the Shah being deposed 30 years ago, was based here in September 2007. It provided good class accommodation and

It has not always been the case that you could find good class comfort in the smaller towns of the United Kingdom, but finding myself stuck at nightfall between Aberdeen and John o'Groats this hostelry in Brora was a revelation. Attractively positio

This is a haven of tranquility in a bustling city, the Le Rabelais is a good start for a trip to Mali. Set in a suburb off the beaten track, this small hotel has charm, character and adequate facilities. Birds gather in the trees around the

Luxury is what one needs after some weeks camping in the desert, and the Isis Hotel can provide. Of course, the 'tourist horde' can be a bit overwhelming after the therapeutic cleansing of life away from the madding crowd. However, the facilities wo

This hotel is situated in a fantastic position, on a mesa above the old town of Al Qasr with commanding views all around. This recently opened hotel, built in the traditional fashion of mud brick, but incorporating all modern conveniences, offers to

Le Meridien Pyramids is out-of-town, but conveniently situated for those attracted to the Pyramids area. It offers a range of good eating places, and has clean and comfortable rooms. For more style though the more traditional Mina House Oberoi (open

This famed hunting resort of former kings and tsars now has a very acceptable 3-star hotel for visitors to the Bialowieski NP, with its primordial vegetation and reintroduced mammals. Bicycles are available for taking into the reserve. Packed lu

Faced with an overnight stopover in Hamburg between flights, I decided it was a good idea to lodge near the airport. However, it being a Friday night, the wide choice of hotels soon narrowed down to a Junior Suite at the Courtyard by Marriott. All o

Integral with the Hamburg state-of-the-art Conference Centre, the Radisson SAS Hotel was a pain-free if expensive way to attend this event. The room, bars and restaurants were all tickety-boo, although after a week the menus could have done with

Two nights at the delightful wooden chalet of Zagroda Kuwasy from which to explore the extensive marshes and dune forest of the Biebrza River valley was a great experience. The hotel has a friendly informal ambience, and the buffet meals with pl

Hailing as I did from this village, it felt strange staying in a hotel there. Then it was the home of a reclusive man named Monk who ran a brewery. Now the brewery buildings 'out back' are an exclusive pool and gymnasium complex! These facilities I

This is a beautiful hotel in a delightful setting. But beware - Khajuraho is on a roll of tourism and it attracts the most unsavoury touts. As an experienced group, we met with courtesy and helpfulness. One young American lady in tears at the airpor

This is the best accommodation in this former hill-station in the Central Provinces. However, it caters for 'Conferences' which put the amenities under a strain. We unfortunately coincided with one such, and were squeezed out of the best rooms altho

It’s not what I expected. Approached through back streets, and with an unimpressive foyer/reception area. There’s nothing specific to complain about the rooms or the food, but equally nothing memorable to recall. The sickliest taste however was left

This hotel is conveniently located for the Indira Ghandi International Airport. It’s a substantial building with a vast gallery of rooms around the central foyer. As a place to rest between flights it’s just the ticket, otherwise it has little to co

Accommodations are in twin bungalows grouped around an open bar/restaurant building. Alongside is an elephant stable, and they offer rides down to the river for their daily baths. The usual jeep safaris are available morning and evening, with tigers

This is an up-market tented camp in well-manicured gardens, with a central restaurant providing good and palatable meals. Jeeps are available for morning and afternoon safaris at cost. Armed guards patrol the grounds - against wild animals or other

Although no longer bearing the name Claridges, the lodge has an up-market air. Set in a shady garden, the well-appointed stone bungalows are very nicely furnished and comfortably self-contained with efficient atmospheric control. There is an open-ai

This is a friendly old house up a narrow access road, with stupendous views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The rooms were comfortable, if a little dated, but the dining arrangements and food were memorable. The hotel can provide local transp

Staying here, on a trip that had largely entailed staying at Maharajah's Palaces and Ecolodges, was down-to-earth with a bump! Nothing was inadequate, yet nothing appealed as out of the ordinary. It was just another place to sleep.

Strategically placed between Connellan Airport and both Ayers Rock (Uluru) and The Olgas (Kata Tjuta), this hotel is the jewel in the crown of the self-contained Ayers Rock Resort. It is the non-pareil for comfort and convenience. The AC rooms are o

Traveling business-class by Emirates Airlines, we decided to break our journey from Glasgow to Melbourne with a night's stopover at Le Meridien Dubai. The pleasant reception, the excellent room facilities and comfortable beds were all appreciated.

After staying here one or two nights on several occasions in the past, whilst visiting an elderly relative, I knew that on 'race-days' the place tended to be fully booked and needed to be avoided. I had not expected however to check-in to one of the

The hotel's location is a short drive from Inverness Airport, and close to the historic battlefield of Culloden (Bonnie Prince Charlie, Butcher Cumberland and all that). For 'locals' like us who have done 'the tours' it was the elegance, charm and r
