This is the third time over the past 10 years we have stayed here, and although not particularly fancy, I think it is pretty reasonable for the money compared to most hotels, hence the above average rating because of value for money. That aside it is probably a middle of the road property. Pretty good location, and have never had any problems with the staff, cleanliness of rooms etc. Only continuing problem is the strip of marble on the floor separating the main room with the bathroom. It is quite high and is a real killer on the toes if you are not careful ! If we go back to Singapore we will stay here again as long as the Singapore Stopover continues to be a good deal.
Stayed here as a Singapore Airlines stopover on the way to Europe and was happy with the hotel. When we arrived early in the morning we had to wait for a few hours until checkin, but were still allowed to checkin around 9am which was quite a few hours before their official time. Room aircon was quite cold and the room was quite reasonably sized and clean. Was close to all attractions, and there was a 7-11 just next door for some cheap drinks other than the mini bar. Didn't eat in any of the restaurants as other alternatives close by. Overall quite a good hotel for the money, certainly not luxurious but either was the price.
My family and I stayed at this hotel for under a week and the hotel amenities were ok but not great. One of the things that really annoyed me was the use of the internet in which you had to put a down payment of $10 on a LAN line cable to connect to a port hole with unreliable service, spending at least an hour just to connect! Not only that, the rooms would always be too cold once we got back even though the key wasn't plugged into the power system. Most of the staff were nice and friendly and offered great eatery suggestions if you asked.
I stayed in the grand pacific for 5 nights. The hotel is smart.and clean. They are cleaning and upgrading the exterior which looks good but I felt the room I was in was still dated. I was in a no smoking room but the room clearly had been smoked in for a long time previously as you could still smell it. The pool is wonderful and very clean. The staff were very friendly. I didn't use the restraint but the bar on the ground floor was good with nice food. Overall a nice hotel about 2 minutes walk from raffles but needs the rooms to be modernised.
I stayed at this hotel after picking it from many I reviewed on Travel Advisor. I arrived on Mon pm from a flight from Beijing and was quickly processed into my room. I was extremely happy with my room. I had meals in The Brasserie because this is what my Package included. The service was prompt and the staff eager to help and also very friendly. The hotel is central and close to MRT stations at Bungis and City Hall. There is a Burger King and a 7 Eleven store nearby so this is also a bonus.
This hotel was very clean, roomy and comfortable. Excellent buffet for breakfast & dinner and a la carte lunch available, all at very reasonable prices and much-needed air-conditioned comfort! 7Eleven store right next door sold bottled water at half the price in the hotel itself (a 'must' in the humidity ). Had very cheap umbrellas for the afternoon rains as well ! The only disappointment after a long flight was the fact that only two teabags were supplied- any more was charged at $1 per bag!
We would recommend this hotel to anyone, we stayed for 8 nights and received the best quality service from happy , helpful staff. All staff members from any department were excellent, we can not say enought about how good this hotel is. Location in Singapore was ideal, close to every thing.
This hotel is well positioned near Raffles Centre and the MRT. I have been staying here over the last 15 years and the rooms really need renovating.You need to get it at a good price.
Summary
The hotel is closely located to the MRT. The service from the staff here is unbeatable as they are all very friendly and love to offer suggestions when asked.

I was completely blown away by the whole complex of Marina sands but just let me share my thoughts. Skypark is a must we went up at dusk and watched the city light up - best views of Singapore. Feel very sorry for the residents of this hotel, as they swim in the pool the visitors to the skypark are continually looking through every available area. The foyer of the hotel is a bit like a first class airline checkin area but queues to check in or out - people everywhere just milling around. Foodhall downstairs is overpriced very busy and not very good - ate there twice and wished I hadn't both times. Did live in Singapore for 4 years and there are plenty of excellent hawkers around a shame this wasn't one of them. Without a doubt it is an amazing building and a must see in Singapore.
Check in was efficient, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. They allowed me to check in slightly early which was great as I was travelling with a small child. Rooms are large and very nice. Loads of facilities, shopping etc in and around the complex, we spent an entire day just exploring the area (ice skating, sampan rides, skypark, infinity pool etc). Check out was also efficient. I had read a lot of bad reviews, but didn't have any negative experiences during my stay here. Absolutely recommend staying here!
I have read the negative reviews here and had some mixed feelings before I checked in. But I have to admit that there was nothing that was really bad. I used the laundry service and some other Concierge services and they were all satisfying. The staff was also friendly, so all-in-all very ok. The only thing is the location. Marina Bay Sands is a bit from the city and I haven't found a convenience store at the mall just next to the hotel.
Room was very spacious and decor contemporary. The kids love the Skypark pool and the bathtub in the room. View was good; better to come when the Gardens by the Bay is open. Linked to shopping mall of designer brands. Mall layout is kinda confusing though. Only tried the Fuse lounge for a nightcap, where there was live music. Relaxing. Very conveniently linked to Bayfront MRT station.
its one of the best hotel i have ever seen. Simply amazingly made. specially the shape massive rooms awesome food classy sky bar at the top floor from there we can see whole Singapore incredible and so polite staff and the shopping area is huge with all possible world best brands and the casino is mind boggling with all games.i wish to visit twice a year.
We were lucky to score a free up grade to a club room which was a bit noisey from traffic alongside but overall the room was fantastic. Allowed late chck out and a glass of champagne leaving the hotel. Obviously the pool complex is one of the main draw cards for this hotel.
Big "Vegas Style" hotel with the shopping mall and convention centre attached. I paid a little more for the premium room but it was worth it for the city view. Room was large with big bathroom and separate shower. Always busy, especially the skypark over the hotel which was wonderful
went there because of the breathtaking rooftop infinity pool which is really special. the hotel itself is modern, huge, bright, has friendly staff but the hotel is too big and therefore much too impersonal. You have to do it once - but there are more personal hotels in Singapore.
Summary
The location of this hotel is really convenient and their staff were wonderfully friendly. The hotel has beautiful views.

Just spent one night at the Holiday Inn, and to be honest, it's the best option on that price range. Lovely setting, and the Pompidou 'Paris Plages' really suited the setting. Chilled out area by the canal with a fab place to eat opposite the entrance, that served proper French simple food. Room spotless, and although when we went to bed we could still hear music, it didn't really bother us. The breakfast was standard, and there were hot options, they were gone by the time we went down. A previous poster mentioned one of the lifts being shut off, and we experienced this, but it didn't impede our stay any - who cares about waiting an extra minute for a lift - if you're that bothered, then use the stairs! Paris can be pretty bad for accommodation of this standard, and this is a gem. The Metro is less than 5 minutes away, and it's nice to be in a part of Paris that is not touristyy at all.
The hotel is 4 minutes from the metro with a handy all night store en route. The staff were very friendly and efficient and I would recommend thi hotel with its lovely views and large comfortable rooms. My room looked all the way up the canal towards the rotunda near the Stalingrad metro station and overlooked the houseboats moored in the canal basin. The tree lined avenue alongside was used by the locals to play boules and the two cafe bars nearby were ideal for a late night drink/coffee. Easy access to Paris by metro and a real feeling that you were not surrounded by tourists but were seing a genuine slice of French life. I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel although some people might not like the walk from the station at night as it is quite dark (albeit it is past the police station).
My wife and myself spent 5 days in this hotel from 12th May 2009 and found it to be an exceptional hotel in a lovely location just outside Paris. Our delightful room was overlooking the canal with a view of boats as they plied their way down he canal. Brilliant shower in the good size bathroom, no bath, but this not important to ourselves. Large and very comfortable bed and room had all the facilities you would expect from this hotel group including internet connection, tea and coffee etc. Very adequate breakfast served in dining room and staff were very helpful. We used the excellent public transport system, always a good way to get about Paris, and there was a very convenient Metro station close to the hotel.
We booked a room 2 months ago. When we arrived last saterday, they were suddenly 'overbooked'. They said the'll send us to a different hotel, they gave us a map en showed us how to walk. When we came to the other hotel, they didn't no nothing about us. The hotelstaff send us to the wrong hotel! After a whole afternoon walking around the nieghbourhood, we finally checked in at the right hotel. A waste of our afternoon, since we stayed only a view days in Paris. We are certainly not happy with the serive at the hotel, you don't treat your guest like that and only say a simple 'sorry' afterwards.
My wife and I stayed at this hotel for a weekend for our anniversary. The hotel was well located to experience Paris without paying the high prices. We purchased a 3 day Visite Paris pass which allowed us unlimited travel on the metro, RER, Bus etc. to visit all the main attractions. The pass also entitled us to a 20% discount on the Euro Disney tickets and the travel there and back! I highly recommend this hotel for a great weekend away.
This seemed a brand new hotel. Location is nice. The room has a view over the canal. By metro you is quickly in the centre of Paris. Secured parking below the hotel. There were not enough seats in the restaurant, so be ready to wait for some time during rush hour.
Who would have thought that a H.I. Express could be so enjoyable. The staff were extraordinary, the setting on the canal was really nice and the Metro was real close. We enjoyed our stay here prior to meeting at another hotel for a Globus tour.
Had a beautiful time in Paris thanks to this hotel as well. Staff very helpful , metro close by and the view of the canal it's very romantic. Went there with my partner and loved it. Simple, clean and effective . Thank you .
Summary
This hotel seems like it is brand new which is a plus. It is in a picturesque setting and is simplistically clean. The hotel is situated in a good location just outside Paris with two cafe bars nearby. The super clean room had incredible views of the canal and the boats there. Not only that but the beds were both large and really cosy. There was every facility you need apart from having a shower instead of a bath, but that's fine for most people. The staff are pretty helpful and at times they were extraordinary. The hotel offered a basic breakfast. There is secure parking underneath the hotel. There are also lifts provided, which can be a bit of a wait but there are also stairs to use.

Summary
This hotel is a great option for those visiting Paris with a specific price range in mind, as it is a gem in what can be pretty bad accommodation in regards to this standard. The setting is lovely and really suited to its surroundings, making it a simple yet effective choice. Ideal location just on the outskirts of the main city, with multiple cafe bars close by for guests to enjoy if they fancy leaving the hotel. However, it is not in walking distance from the main station which can be off putting for some. The views from the rooms overlook the canals with its boats and looking onwards to the rotunda near the metro station in Stalingrad. There is also a good-sized bathroom with a great shower, though no bath and the room itself was clean and very large. The bed is comfortable and the rooms included all the expected facilities, an internet connection, and coffee or tea. The service was okay, as the staff generally try to be helpful where they can. But it could be better at times. The French food served nearby the hotel was simple but proper, it was a great place to eat. Sadly the hot but standard breakfast options were gone by a certain time in the morning. The hotel has the option of parking beneath the hotel and it is secured and although there were issues with the lift, stairs were available for use.

We were searching for a place to stay, having never been to Montreal before. After reading several reviews we opted for this hotel and contacted them directly for a booking. At this time they beat the expedia rate and offered us a 10% CAA discount. That took our room rate to $117/night for Thurs - Sun. The hotel is a converted bank and is located in central Old Montreal. There is a metro stop within a couple blocks, which easily gets you some prime shopping and restaurant areas. The staff were very helpful, recommending great restaurants and providing directions. The rooms are not large, but the very high ceilings make the rooms feel roomy. And, the lobby bar has 2 for 1 drinks every evening. We would stay here again.
This hotel is a real treasure. It is a very short walk from the subway and the restaurants of Old Montreal. The greeting upon our arrival was very warm and we found all staff (Cleaning Lady to Bartender) bent over backwards to make us feel welcome. The lobby is very comfortable with free WiFi. The rooms are elegant with free WiFi and comfortable beds. The bathroom is nice and it and the bedroom were very clean. There was no street noise. We unfortunately had noisy, inconsiderate neighbours the first night however the hotel staff immediately offered to move us. This boutique hotel made our weekend getaway very special.
Fabulous location, & wonderful service in an extraordinary hotel environment. Lovely warm lobby with live bossa-nova music , a nice bar and impressive art. The rooms are charming, comfy,& with beautifully design antique furniture. Formerly an 18 century bank , each room is slightly different with some elegant remnants of its bank days:( suite 318 is the old vault. renovated) The art throughout the halls are worthy of any Contemporary or Modern art museum. We look forward to a return visit to Montreal and to the charming L Hotel.
My Partner and I stayed 7 nights at L'Hotel in Montreal. The service was impeccable, the rooms very comfortable, the staff very attentive and hospitable, and the location was perfect. The artwork contained within the hotel put the Museum of Contemporary Art to shame! If you are traveling to Montreal, this is the hotel to stay at. Friday and Saturday evening had a bosso nova group in the bar area.a great place to have a glass or two of wine and listen to some great music.
This is a nice hotel in the Old Port part of Montreal. Rooms are nice, everything is very clean, breakfast (included in some room rates) is rather good, valet parking is convenient (included in some room rates). Service is friendly (wiill help with restaurant bookings, etc). Have stayed there several time and will happily stay there again.
This was an extremely well-located hotel. We were there during the Montreal Jazz Festival and could walk to it as well as to everywhere in the entire Old Town and it's also close to the subway. The staff was friendly, rooms very nice, and breakfast very good. There really wasn't anything to complain about.
Great boutique hotel and perfect location in old montreal.Very friendly and helpful staff.Rooms are unique ,comfortable and if you appreciate modern art its like staying in an art gallery.
The hotel had huge rooms that were very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful and their breakfasts were wonderful!
Summary
After booking directly with the hotel it was really impressive and made for a very special weekend. This is the place to be. The hotel was situated close to a metro station, allowing travel to the restaurants of Old Montreal and within walking distance of the Montreal Jazz Festival. The rooms are adequately sized but are clean and with elegant furnishings. The rooms retain some history from its previous incarnation as a bank. The rooms have free WiFi available with lovely modern art too. The hotel has a good bar that is ideal for relaxing whilst listening to some live music. The hotel had no street noise at all and on Friday and Saturday evenings there was a music group playing at the bar area.

Summary
The hotel is decorated with lots of desirable artwork. There is also a lobby that is home to live bossa nova music and a good bar for guests. This hotel is ideally situated to explore the Old Town on foot and the metro stop is easily accessible by walking a few blocks, which can take you to some great shopping locations as well as restaurants. The tall ceilings in the rooms provide a larger feel to an otherwise average-sized room. However the furnishings are elegant and stylish therefore provide quite a charming feel to the room. This hotel is a great place to drink some wine and appreciate the great music they play here. The atmosphere at the hotel was very good as there was no street noise. There was also a bossa nova group that played the hotel on weekend evenings too.

Summary
This is a great hotel to stay at over and over. They have live bossa-nova music, a bar, and very impressive art on display worthy of being in a museum. The lobby is welcoming and lovely but the hotel overall is very special. This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of shops, the restaurants of Old Montreal and even the subway. The Montreal Jazz Festival, as well as the entire Old Town, are also located within easy walking distance. This hotel was formally a bank. Rooms differ from one another but retain the elegant touches of its past. They are clean, comfortable and individual but not large, though the high ceilings give the illusion of spaciousness. There is free WiFi and comfortable beds and have been decorated with modern art. Have a seat, listen to some music, and drink some wine. Excellent. No street noise but the bar area comes alive with a bossa nova group on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Vogue is well located, across from Ogilvy (the nicest department store in the city in my opinion) which also means very close to Ste. Catherine, Sherbrooke and Crescent Streets. I stayed in a very spacious executive suite with bathtub, two TVs (better choice of channels should be available), very comfortable bed, nice bathrooms. Shower pressure was good but shower itself a bit old fashioned even if well maintained. Service a bit uneven but in general very good. Good room service but a bit expensive. Bar at the lobby looks dated. I have to say that overall it does not feel like a 5 star hotel but still quite good. Recommended.
What a wonderfu, friendly and beautiful botique hotel right in the middle of Montreal's shopping district and nearby McGill Univ. The only negative thing to mention about the hotel is the carpeting in our room definitely needs to be replaced! The staff, service, etc. are all excellent. Leave your car at home or if you drive, park it in the garage. You are in walking distance of everything. You will need to take a cab to old Montreal. So much to see and do there too.

I stayed at Hotel Vogue for a shopping weekend in Montreal and it did not disappoint. From the lobby to my room itself it is probably the nicest and most luxurious hotels I've stayed in. The bathroom was a dream equipped with tv and jacuzzi tub. The service was excellent when the moment I stepped in. Everyone was very friendly and polite. I ordered room service for dinner and the food was delicious. shopping is just steps away which is great. nice to have a dvd in the room too. For a luxury shopping weekend in Montreal or a romantic getaway I would definitely recommend Hotel Vogue.
What a great hotel in a wonderful location. We have stayed here many times over the past few years and have never been disappointed. The rooms are spacious and VERY quiet and the bathroom has a separate walk-in shower. Everything is spotless and the service (from the front desk to room service to the doorman and valet) is top notch. We return to find the same friendly faces working in this hotel, which definitely says something about the way Loews treats their employees. We can't wait to go back! Superb.
This is a potentially great boutique hotel - great rooms, excellent staff, very comfortable BUT I resent having to pay extra for water and internet which other comparable hotels (The Nelligan, Le Germain) throw in. It just feels like I'm being nickled and dimed to death. Other posters have made the same comments and I'm hoping that Le Vogue is listening - I'm heading back there tonight. Otherwise it's a terrific hotel in a great location whether you're in Montreal for business or pleasure.
We just loved our recent stay at the Vogue! The service is always very good, the location is great and they have those small attentions that make a difference (they let a bag in our car with 2 apples and 2 bottles of water for the road). The breakfast (room service) was delicious. We just can't wait to go back!
Great rooms, big marble bathroom, ipod docking and all the other amenties that you would expect. But it was the staff that really made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Thanks to everyone for a fun weekend in Montreal.
Great room and very good service. Nicely located in Montreal. We've stayed there the last 3 or 4 times we were in Montreal and will visit again.
Summary
This hotel never disappoints during your stay, whether it's for a shopping weekend or something else it's a great place to stay. The hotel is in the centre of Montreal's shopping district. It is close to McGill University as well as Ogilvy in a safe part of the city. There are some really cool and handy features and amenities included in the rooms such as iPod docking station, a pressure shower, DVD player and television and Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom was great. The rooms were spacious and luxurious at the same time. The breakfast provided via room service was really tasty. There was a garage to park your car.

The Vogue is well located, across from Ogilvy (the nicest department store in the city in my opinion) which also means very close to Ste. Catherine, Sherbrooke and Crescent Streets. I stayed in a very spacious executive suite with bathtub, two TVs (better choice of channels should be available), very comfortable bed, nice bathrooms. Shower pressure was good but shower itself a bit old fashioned even if well maintained. Service a bit uneven but in general very good. Good room service but a bit expensive. Bar at the lobby looks dated. I have to say that overall it does not feel like a 5 star hotel but still quite good. Recommended.
What a wonderfu, friendly and beautiful botique hotel right in the middle of Montreal's shopping district and nearby McGill Univ. The only negative thing to mention about the hotel is the carpeting in our room definitely needs to be replaced! The staff, service, etc. are all excellent.

Summary
The Hotel Vogue is the perfect hotel for a shopping weekend in Montreal or a romantic trip with a loved one. This is a hotel located in a safe area within walking distance of pretty much everything you could need. The rooms in the hotel are a good size, with lots of amenities such as iPod docking stations, a television and even a Jacuzzi hot tub. The executive suites are particular spacious with two televisions too. The breakfast food provided by the hotel's room service was very good. You can park your car in the garage if you prefer to drive here. The shower was a little old but the water pressure was great.

The Hotel Vogue does not disappoint for shopping or romantic getaways and is well maintained. The Vogue is in a great location at the heart of Montreal's shopping district and within walking distance to so much more. Lovely rooms that are fully equipped with all amenities and luxuries. The bathrooms are superb and come with tv and Jacuzzi tub. They are spacious, and the beds are comfortable. The hotel does have a very nice breakfast.

My girlfriend and I booked Hotel Cielo for a quick 3 night escape of the Boston winter. The hotel was in the most perfect location to explore Playa del Carmen as well as the Yucatcan. We were given the deluxe room for 105/night, which had a balcony that overlooked 5th ave and a partial view of the ocean. I think the number one reason to stay is for the helpful staff, simple rooms, and amazing locations. We also thought that Carboncitos is also the best mexican food in the area. Thanks to everyone at Hotel Cielo and we will be back hopefully for an extended stay next year. One note: bring your own shampoo as it is not provided.
We were a group of 4 and enjoyed our stay at Hotel Cielo! The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of everything. Everyone at the hotel is helpful and friendly. Henri, the concierge, has lots of good information and is always willing to answer questions, arrange for transportation, etc. Breakfasts at the restaurant were delicious. We also enjoyed swimming in a cenote, and horseback riding at Rancho Punto Venado, which also offers a lovely beach, buffet, bar, ATV's, and jeeps. (Henri assisted with the reservation.)
My husband and I just stayed here and it was perfect for a young couple. The staff especially Henry and Roberto were amazing. They took care of everything you needed from great local restaurants to setting up taxis to the airport. The rooms were very clean and a great price. The rooftop has an awesome sunset view and just a great hang out spot. You are right in the middle of the main strip and a minute walk from the beach. It was a great location and I would go back in a heart beat!
This trip was a culmination of all the "side trips" we've taken around Playa Del Carmen which ended at Hotel Cielo. I wouldnt have it any other way. Beautiful, clean, bright and comfortable. Henery (and everyone else) was friendly and helpful but never were intu rusive and let us enjoy peace and quiet. Carboncitos, the eatery downstairs was tasty with excellent service. Fun location with charm of its own. You wont forget this place any time soon. Thanks Henery, see you next year!
My wife and I recently visited Playa for the first time and had a wonderful time. Hotel Cielo is perfectly located for just about everything and the staff was phenonmenal in meeting our every need. The rooms were clean and well kept and very reasonably priced. Being first time visitors, the tips and travel advice offered by the hotel staff was invaluable and greatly enhanced the quality of our trip. We will definitely return at some point in the future and have mentioned the hotel to all our friends in Boise, Idaho.
This was our 2nd stay at Cielo. For slightly more $, you can get one is the larger rooms which we enjoyed. This is an excellent location as 4th street has some of the best non tourist restaurants and is about 100 yards from the beach. While breakfast isn't a big deal me, my wife enjoyed it very much. This place is a bargain.
had a great time , no need for one of those giant hotels, they have it all here.i would recommend to everyone.
Friendly , convient, close to everything. resturant on site, little noisy, take your ear plugs.
Summary
The hotel was a bargain and comes highly recommended. The hotel is located centrally to the main strip and generally everything is within walking distance. It is a minute's walk to beach and nearby 4th street has a selection of local restaurants too. The rooms were clean and well maintained. They were reasonably priced and the deluxe options have a balcony overlooking 5th Avenue. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and will happily spend some time advising on the best places to see. They were even gracious enough to book taxis to the airport, which is a great touch. The hotel is near to Rancho Punto Venado, which provides facilities for many outdoor activities such as horseback riding and ATV driving

Summary
This hotel is highly recommended because not only is it a bargain but it's beautiful, bright, comfortable and above all else it's clean. Everything is super close to this hotel as it is in a great location; the beach is only one minute's walk away, there are great locals' restaurants 100 yards from the beach as well so that adds to the experience. The larger deluxe rooms have a nice partial view of the ocean because of the balcony, and the room was really clean and well-kept. The hotel staff were very helpful. They booked local restaurants and transport to the airport and made the stay more pleasurable. The breakfasts served here were really nice. There are great activities close to this hotel to participate in, which really adds to a trip.

I was completely blown away by the whole complex of Marina sands but just let me share my thoughts. Skypark is a must we went up at dusk and watched the city light up - best views of Singapore. Feel very sorry for the residents of this hotel, as they swim in the pool the visitors to the skypark are continually looking through every available area. The foyer of the hotel is a bit like a first class airline checkin area but queues to check in or out - people everywhere just milling around. Foodhall downstairs is overpriced very busy and not very good - ate there twice and wished I hadn't both times. Did live in Singapore for 4 years and there are plenty of excellent hawkers around a shame this wasn't one of them. Without a doubt it is an amazing building and a must see in Singapore.
Check in was efficient, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. They allowed me to check in slightly early which was great as I was travelling with a small child. Rooms are large and very nice. Loads of facilities, shopping etc in and around the complex, we spent an entire day just exploring the area (ice skating, sampan rides, skypark, infinity pool etc). Check out was also efficient. I had read a lot of bad reviews, but didn't have any negative experiences during my stay here. Absolutely recommend staying here!
I have read the negative reviews here and had some mixed feelings before I checked in. But I have to admit that there was nothing that was really bad. I used the laundry service and some other Concierge services and they were all satisfying. The staff was also friendly, so all-in-all very ok. The only thing is the location. Marina Bay Sands is a bit from the city and I haven't found a convenience store at the mall just next to the hotel.
Room was very spacious and decor contemporary. The kids love the Skypark pool and the bathtub in the room. View was good; better to come when the Gardens by the Bay is open. Linked to shopping mall of designer brands. Mall layout is kinda confusing though. Only tried the Fuse lounge for a nightcap, where there was live music. Relaxing. Very conveniently linked to Bayfront MRT station.
its one of the best hotel i have ever seen. Simply amazingly made. specially the shape massive rooms awesome food classy sky bar at the top floor from there we can see whole Singapore incredible and so polite staff and the shopping area is huge with all possible world best brands and the casino is mind boggling with all games.i wish to visit twice a year.
We were lucky to score a free up grade to a club room which was a bit noisey from traffic alongside but overall the room was fantastic. Allowed late chck out and a glass of champagne leaving the hotel. Obviously the pool complex is one of the main draw cards for this hotel.
Big "Vegas Style" hotel with the shopping mall and convention centre attached. I paid a little more for the premium room but it was worth it for the city view. Room was large with big bathroom and separate shower. Always busy, especially the skypark over the hotel which was wonderful
went there because of the breathtaking rooftop infinity pool which is really special. the hotel itself is modern, huge, bright, has friendly staff but the hotel is too big and therefore much too impersonal. You have to do it once - but there are more personal hotels in Singapore.
Summary
The staff at this hotel is very friendly. The hotel has a beautiful view.

Summary
Highly recommended, and great value for money. Everything needed to make it a good visit is available to guests. Hotel Cielo's location is only a minute's walk from the beach and within walking distance to nearly everything. Beautiful rooms that are reasonably priced and well maintained. Stunning views from the room's balcony are available to those willing to pay slightly more. The staff here were amazing and took care of every need, from sorting out restaurants and taxies to offering tips and advice on travel which improved the overall quality of the trip greatly. The breakfast served here is of very good quality. Off the hotel grounds, there are activities such as horseback riding, beaches, and jeeps along with ATV's and at Rancho Punto Venado, a bar and buffet.

We stayed at the Fairmont Mayakoba at the end of June, the hotel is wonderful. We have 2 small children and they loved the kids club. We came to the Fairmont with a large group to celebrate 3 birthdays, we had asked before hand for a surprise in each room for the birthday guest. This did not happen, after repeated requests nothing was done and no explanation. My 5 year old son whose birthday present was this trip was upset but we made the most of the resort. The pools are amazing, each one offers something different. The room are very well kept, we stayed at the casita and felt like we were living in the rain forest. I would reccomend this resort but I wish management would follow through with requests made.
We have stayed at least three times at the Fairmont Mayakoba and all of them have proviede us with distinguished experiences. Though a little bit expensive, when in Cancun or Playa del Carmen, this hotel brings you real comfort and amazing views both of the hotel and of the coastal zone. Food is really good, but not all of the dishes served there are to be considered as real Mexican. Generally speaking, personnel is friendly and would help you very much with everything. If money is not an issue for you, do try to stay in any of the Casitas with view to the ponds. Only one major piece of advice: if your go on a honeymoon or so, avoid holiday seasons in Mexico.
Like most upscale Mexican resorts the landscaping is exceptional. The reception area is open and ample staff is there to greet you and expedite the check-in process. The rooms are very nice and spacious. Internet access is available. The restaurants are convenient from the trams that move everyone around the resort property on a regular basis. We did not play golf but the course looked terrific. There are several pools for all ages as well as plenty of lounge chairs. After my stay, I arranged for my daughter's honeymoon here and they had a terrific time too.
We spent 8 days at the Fairmont Mayakoba with a 3 year old and a 12 year old, and had an absolutely fantastic stay. Our suite was amazing. The pools and grounds were incredible. And the staff, the staff was was best of any Fairmont hotel that I have stayed at. We loved it! We'll be back again next year. If you can deal with driving in Mexico, I would recommend renting a car if you plan to leave the resort frequently.
This was a very nice location, the food was great, and the staff was very nice, friendly, and helpful. If you like to be away from the craziness of Cancun, then this would be a great choice. If you like to be surrounded with more things to do, then closer to the tourist part of Cancun would be the better choice. The beach is very narrow, but it is fairly clean.
I stayed at the hotel for a week in April 2010 for a conference. The hotel has a beautiful property surrounded by lakes and a PGA standard Golf course. The rooms were comfortable with good views all around. The property is huge and we needed special carts to take us around to resteraunts and beach. All in all a great hotel but slightly on the pricier side.
The Fairmont resort has written service all over it! People are so friendly, and really helpful, that you feel at home from the first day and onwards. Too bad our stay was only for 1 week.
Fabulous Hotel! Impeccable service, fabulous rooms, amazing walking boardwalk throughout the property. From the Welcome Drink until the check-ou, everything was Amazing! Would love to go back!
Summary
The hotel even has a kids' club. The hotel is conveniently near the tram system and there are great views of the coast. An ideal choice for a quieter place to stay. One of the hotel rooms is a suite that is simply superb. The staff were generally friendly, but requests were not always met efficiently. The hotel provides great food, although some of the dishes are perhaps not too authentic to the region. The hotel provides internet access for guests. The hotel premises also have a pool and seating around it. If you upgrade to stay in a Casitas there is a view to the ponds of the grounds.

Summary
This is a really great and fabulous hotel that will have you coming back again and again. This is a conveniently located hotel because there are trams nearby to take you to restaurants, while the hotel is a good distance away from the craziness of the city. Requests made to staff and even management are not always followed through despite repeating them. Overall though the staff are friendly and try to help out as much as they can. Whilst the food served in this hotel is undeniably tasty they should reconsider whether some of the items on offer are really authentic Mexican dishes. The hotel provides access to the internet and the pools are really great.

If money is not an issue for you, do try to stay in any of the Casitas with view to the ponds. Only one major piece of advice: if your go on a honeymoon or so, avoid holiday seasons in Mexico.
Like most upscale Mexican resorts the landscaping is exceptional. The reception area is open and ample staff is there to greet you and expedite the check-in process. The rooms are very nice and spacious. Internet access is available. The restaurants are convenient from the trams that move everyone around the resort property on a regular basis. We did not play golf but the course looked terrific. There are several pools for all ages as well as plenty of lounge chairs. After my stay, I arranged for my daughter's honeymoon here and they had a terrific time too.
We spent 8 days at the Fairmont Mayakoba with a 3 year old and a 12 year old, and had an absolutely fantastic stay. Our suite was amazing. The pools and grounds were incredible. And the staff, the staff was was best of any Fairmont hotel that I have stayed at. We loved it! We'll be back again next year. If you can deal with driving in Mexico, I would recommend renting a car if you plan to leave the resort frequently.
This was a very nice location, the food was great, and the staff was very nice, friendly, and helpful. If you like to be away from the craziness of Cancun, then this would be a great choice. If you like to be surrounded with more things to do, then closer to the tourist part of Cancun would be the better choice. The beach is very narrow, but it is fairly clean.
I stayed at the hotel for a week in April 2010 for a conference. The hotel has a beautiful property surrounded by lakes and a PGA standard Golf course. The rooms were comfortable with good views all around. The property is huge and we needed special carts to take us around to resteraunts and beach. All in all a great hotel but slightly on the pricier side.
The Fairmont resort has written service all over it! People are so friendly, and really helpful, that you feel at home from the first day and onwards. Too bad our stay was only for 1 week.
Fabulous Hotel! Impeccable service, fabulous rooms, amazing walking boardwalk throughout the property. From the Welcome Drink until the check-ou, everything was Amazing! Would love to go back!
Summary
Wonderful hotel with various activities available for kids via the kids club. Away from the hustle-bustle of Cancun with trams available when necessary and close to restaurants and the coast. A really great location. The suite in this hotel was fantastic. In general, the staff is very friendly and helpful but management could work on their follow-through. The food here is good but not always authentic Mexican food. There are plenty of lounge chairs available at the many pools. And you can rent a car to experience driving in Mexico.
Reviews
The decoration and design is excellent, as are the staff. The roof terrace, lounge and breakfast room have real distinction. The public areas are small. There is a simple lunch menu that they don't publicise and which you can eat in the breakfast room or roof terrace. The location is excellent and on the edge of one of the best areas of Venice and is well removed from the tourist hordes. The room was less distinct than the public areas but that is not to complaint. In many other hotels it would be excellent. It is expensive for it's size and services though, but I'm still very glad I stayed there. Don't pre book their river taxi from the airport: it is too expensive and a far more complex arrangement than simply getting a private water taxi at the airport on arrival. This is an excellent hotel.
Good location; enough off the beaten track to be quiet and relaxing but a great short walk to Accademia and other sites. If you like exploring places on foot its ideal. If you don't, the Vaporetto is on the door step and we had no problem getting anywhere in the city and the islands using it. Hotel was our kind of place; good style mixture of contemporary blending with the traditional with a couple of quirky bits thrown in (the light sconces in the lounge!). Very friendly and helpful, low key staff. Room was well maintained, clean and pleasant. Breakfast was simple but excellent (and filling). Would definitely go back there if staying in Venice again.
The Ca Maria Adele is ideal in every respect. It sits on a quiet little canal just behind the magnificent Chiesa di Santa Maria and not far from the Accademia. The staff was very friendly, treated its guests with real coridality and were brimming with suggestions and assistance. Breakfast was especially satisfying in a tall room that spangled with Venetian ornament. The hotel felt very personal, it was like staying at the home of a friend. Who should stay here? Couples, old or young, families, no matter the size, single folk, businessmen. I look forward to going back to Venice and when I do so staying at the Ca Maria Adele. Recommended without any reservation whatever.
Just stop searching for the perfect hotel in Venice because this is the one. Right next to the Salute is an idyllic spot with just twelve rooms. The staff are without exception helpful and no request is too small. The breakfast is a delight and can be served wherever suits your mood and the hotel has wonderful touches throughout. Each room is individualised and ours overlooked the canal. A minute from the vaparetto stop and close to a number of super Art Galleries . Lovely little restaurant was recommended and did not disappoint. Take the Water Taxi transfer - the only way to travel.Just ignore the tariff it is worth every penny. Enjoy.
Loved this small hotel, with a great location on the Grand Canal and right next door to the Salute Church. The staff were polite and very helpful, no problems with the English language. Will never forget the Saturday night when the Salute bells were ringing followed by all the church bells around Venice. Close to San Marco Square. If you stay on the top floor be ready for a walk up the stairs to your room.
Paying attention to every detail, this hotel was an experience of its own. The White Room on the bottom floor was spectacular, the room service was top notch, the views from all points of the hotel were nearly fantastical! Breakfast was delicious (though one staff member seemed absolutely miserable with her job) and the always stocked minibar was so refershing during the hot summer days!
We loved the Ca Maria Adele. The hotel staff and owner were so attentive. The room was incredible and so so charming. We were greeted by champagne and passion fruit within 5 minutes of walking into our hotel. The breakfast room and the meal itself were just great. All the recommendations given by the hotel staff were awesome. Would LOVE LOVE to go back.
This is one of the best deals in Venice. The price is a little high, but well worth it. This boutique hotel is in a relatively quite spot and still only a stop or 2 from San Marco.
Summary
The hotel was a unique experience with traditional and modern features. A stay at the hotel comes highly recommended. The hotel is situated in an excellent location on the Grand Canal, only a couple of stops to San Marco Square and near to the Salute Church. It is close to a number of art galleries and the Vaporetto. The hotel has rooms overlooking the canal that are nice and clean. The hotel has a simple menu which can be served wherever you like. The minibar is always stocked for guests. Despite being a bit overpriced the hotel did live up to that expectation, so it was worth it.

Summary
This is a great stylish contemporary hotel that pays attention to every detail and one that cannot be recommended enough. This boutique hotel is perfectly located because it is on the edge of one of the greatest areas and away from tourist hordes, making it quiet. Despite the calm location it isn't too far away from good sight-seeing spots and there is no problem getting around the city. The rooms are well-maintained and clean, but there is quite a walk up to the room if staying on the top floor. . The breakfast is of the highest quality, and there is the option to eat in either the breakfast room or the roof terrace. The stay at the hotel was a little expensive.

Summary
This is an exquisite hotel that is highly recommended. The decor has an excellent mix of contemporary and traditional design that will appeal to the majority. They have paid attention to every detail when designing this hotel. Great location for those wanting a good base to go on and sight see, as it is close to many of the tourist attractions. Most sites are walking distance from the hotel, yet the hotel itself is in a more remote location that offers guests peace and quiet if they choose it. The rooms are very well maintained and clean and though not as distinct as the public areas is unique in its own right. Some overlook the canal.Breakfast is little bit lacking but tasted good.
Reviews
Everything is of superb quality in this hotel and you can really see the thoughts they put into each detail - from the light switch to where the sockets are placed. We went for the highest room (Casa Nova) in the hotel which has a sky window that opens up to see the sky at night, it was very romantic. Breakfast was truly a gem - the croissants are made fresh and they tasted super delicious. There are only two tables that are out on the balcony so people have to wait for the outdoor tables. They offer free water taxi rides to the glass factory on Murano island, but it was a complete waste of time. Transport organized by the hotel to the island was perfect, but the hotel didn't arrange our transportation back and we were stuff with like 10 other people in small boat which made us completely soaked on our way back. The boat did not stop back at our hotel but just dropped us off, all soaked, at St. Mark's Square. It was the worst boat ride. Avoid the hotel's free ticket to Murano at all, you can better spend your time in Venice doing something else.
We had originally booked our rooms at the Hotel Antiche Figure, however when we arrived at the hotel the manager told us that he had another hotel that they were attempting to fill with guests right down the street, it was another property that they owned that had recently opened up. .He told us that if we wanted to stay there instead of the Antiche Figure he would upgrade everyone's rooms. When we saw the property and the rooms, we just couldn't say no. The manager put us in four incredible rooms beautifully decorated in an antique Venetian style, yet with very modern facilities. ie Wireless. flat screen tv's hidden behind mirrors etc, plus the rooms had amazing views onto the canal, or the square. which was wonderfully quiet. This place is beautiful. I would highly reccomend staying here. especially if you are American. the service of the staff is completely up to par with American standards. and on that matter they excel on sevice standards.
I love it when Tripadvisor reviews point me in the right direction. Venice was one of the stops on my honeymoon and the staff, amenities, and location of Hotel Canal Grande does not disappoint! From the check-in, Gianni welcomed us with a detailed map, suggested walking paths, and a little joke: "call this number and we can come get you. free! if you call after 10pm, we will think you are drunk and we will come get you.for a charge." Here are other highlights: - free wifi - free bottle of prosecco on the house - free hotel breakfast (which you can eat on the terrace, watching the boats go by) - modern amenities which complement seamlessly with the rococco interiors - excellent service (when we couldn't find the local laundromat, they sent an employee of a *sister* hotel to check that it was open and then escort us there- fabulous!)
Convenient location to everything and easy to find. Make sure to print out directions to the hotel for your arrival. The rooms were elegant and comfortable. Nice breakfast in the morning. The staff were pleasant and very helpful. Our last night there our neighbours were noisy and vulgar, the staff did try and control the situation and more than compensated us the next day. Despite this we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
.what the other reviewers say. Just book & enjoy, if you can. The only negative experiences from our 2 nights in the Doge room was a somewhat unpleasant and unhelpful interaction with the night clerk, and a another situation in which some other employee spent ages finding information on the vaporetti schedule that in the end were just plain wrong. Still 4/5 for service, as the rest of the staff were marvelous.
I stayed 3 nights in Canal Grande. A gem in Venice, near Piazzale Roma where i parked my car, near a vaporetto stop, great staff, great breakfast and great room " Accademia". If you are looking for a hotel to stay in Venice, dont think about it.Stay in Canal Grande. Perfect!
Simply the best hotel we've ever stayed at! Great location, great room, great view, great breakfast. Unbelievable value. The management and staff made us feel so welcome, without a doubt we would return again. Thank you.
just brilliant, can't spot one error. every need is looked after a bargain of a hotel and gr8 stuff.
Summary
This is a beautiful hotel and possibly one of the best out there. The rooms in the hotel are decorated in a typical Venetian style, but with modern design twist, such as mirrors housing televisions. The highest room available in the hotel has a sky window which was very quiet too. The breakfasts at the hotel were made fresh and could be enjoyed on the terrace. This is a hotel of high standards and qualities and everything seems to be really thought through such as where the plug sockets are place and even the light switch.

Summary
The hotel setting is beautiful but it's an uncomfortable boat ride to get there. Good location with walking paths in close proximity to the hotel. Free water taxis can be taken also, however they are not highly recommended. The Venetian-style rooms are absolutely beautiful and had a sky-window to allow you to view the sky at nighttime. There are flat-screen televisions hidden behind mirrors which is a unique touch. Some of the staff were unhelpful, The complimentary breakfast can be eaten on the terrace and it is an absolute gem. The croissants are clearly made fresh and so they tasted amazing. The hotel will look after guests late at night if you need collection for a charge. The attention to detail goes all the way down simple fixtures like light fittings etc.

Summary
This is an average hotel to stay at, however it is in a beautiful area that has lots for tourists to see. The hotel was a little difficult to get to but they will provide a nicely detailed map for walking paths nearby, because it is located in a lovely place. The rooms are to a very high standard, with exceptional views overlooking some of the popular attractions in this area. The upgraded rooms in particular are wonderful, with a sky window that opens up at night. They are beautifully decorated and provide all amenities for a good stay. The staff occasional go above and beyond to help their guests. The food was delicious. Freshly made croissants and a free bottle of Prosecco, excellent. A bargain hotel that provides good quality service. You can see there has been great efforts put in place to decorate all aspects of this hotel, down to the small details.
Reviews
We had three nights at the Swissotel Sydney On Market Street and enjoyed our stay. We had a corner room with views out across the city. Rooms are not huge but are comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was included in our three-day rate and it was excellent. We also had one evening meal at the hotel. While the meal was good, the prices were a little more than we expected. Location is excellent and in walking distance of tourist attractions, shopping and underground rail. It is a quaint hotel in that the hotel is built above Myer shopping emporium and to check in means taking dropping suitcases with a porter at the small off-street entry and taking a lift to the 8th floor which opens out onto an elegant lobby and reception. Staff were courteous and help-yourself bowls of Granny Smith apples near the lifts were appreciated. Happy to recommend the hotel.
we stayed for 5 nights in the swissotel sydney. It is a great hotel with a great location. Town hall station in a 5 minute walk, St James station is about 3 mins away. If there are two or more people it is probably cheaper to get a taxi from the airport. Our room was massive, modern and spotlessly clean. the only downside was having paid the hotel bill in full before our arrival, the reception proceeded to charge my credit card again. This was a major inconvience as we were at the end of our 3 week holiday and my credit card was near it's limit. The problem was eventually sorted after a few days but it prevented me from using my card during this time. Although helpful, I didn't even get an apology from the staff!
I stayed at this Hotel for 6 nights, and not sure if I would return again if in Sydney. The location is excellent and the concierge know their stuff, but sadly I think it ends there. When I checked in I was informed that I had been upgraded, but on further inspection it was the room that I had actually paid for in advance. The room itself had a balcony (for which I paid extra), but no views as such, not like it was described on their website. The Hotel was busy and I was told to check on a daily basis if I wanted to change rooms. I was hassled most mornings at breakfast, because my name did not appear on the list which it should have been. Definitely not a 5 Star Hotel.Internet charges outrageous.
we booked to stay here through wotif.com after initially looking to rent a self catered apartment from which to explore sydney we found this to be a very good price for us to have a very comfortable room, our flight landed at 0530 the day we were checking in so i wrote to the hotel to ask how early we could check in not expecting a positive response but we got a nice reply and when we arrived after a 24hr flight from france we were given our room at 6am!, very good. staff very nice would reccommend here for a good base in sydney.
Hotel room was nicely appointed and with a good city view. For a Sunday night though the food on offer was limited - as was the service. Staff had to be asked for drinks and to order food - and it did seem to be an inconvenience that we wanted service. Breakfast was the standard continental or hot and nothing very exciting. Once again the staff seemed to be inconvenienced by our presence. Given the nice rooms and good location it was disappointing that the service was so slack and uninspiring.
the hotel itself is a bit difficult to find, and apparently not well known. location is supreme however in between george and pitt street. also very near darling harbour and town hall rail station. service was not much above average. the biggest disgust experienced was indeed the exceedingly high cost of internet and difficulty accessing once you have registered. during my trips back to sydney, i will definitely compare other hotels before here, such as Hilton or Marriot.
I experianced a most enjoyable stay with a nice room the location to my business appointment was just ideal and the service in the resturant caould not be faulted. Nice and friendly. Unfortunately the sign out was very frustrating - too long.
Restaurant very good. Problem with bathroom was resolved very quickly.
Summary
This was a really enjoyable hotel to stay in and would choose it again for sure. The hotel is highly recommended.

We spent two nights here in May, 2011 and really enjoyed it. The location is excellent, on a quiet side street just off the Piazza della Repubblica, close to the metro and a step-on, step-off city tour bus stop. We were able to easily reach the principal city sights from there. Our room was large and very well appointed (and I love that 1940s style elevator to get you there!) The staff was excellent, very helpful. (I had trouble backing up some photos from my camera to a flash drive and they assisted me.) There are a number of very good restaurants nearby so you dont have to fight the tourist hordes around the Spanish Steps or the Fountain of Trevi. Well go back when were in Rome.
This is a cozy, tucked-away retreat from the busy streets of Rome. Our room was quiet and the owner was attentive and helpful (spoke English well). The breakfast room is a warm and inviting setting with a decent variety of food. The bed was not very comfortable (although I am extremely picky) but every other part of our stay was enjoyable. We stayed at this location three nights and were able to walk comfortably to all major sights without problem. I will not rave about this hotel, but I found nothing materially wrong with it either. This is a typical 2-3 star hotel and makes up for its lack of "grandness" by having a fantastically helpful and friendly staff.
We stayed two nights at this hotel. We found the staff very friendly, and helpful. Our room was clean and of a good size. If you want to experience true italian culture, then this family is for you. The breakfast was continental, and very good and ample. If you want scrambled eggs and bacon when you are in Europe, then stay home. If you want to enjoy the culture you are in then ask this facility for recommendations for restaurants, side trips, etc., they are more than accommodating. We will definately use this hotel on our next visit.
We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay in Oceania. We had a double room that was spotless and also quite spacious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and answered any questions we had on places to visit etc. The internet access was very useful and was free. Breakfast was lovely - breads, pastries, juices and coffee. The hotel is in an ideal location, close to all the main sites and on a nice quiet street. Would love to go back!
I booked a 3 night stay at Hotel Oceania based on a recommendation from Rick Steves. The location is definately convienent as it is a short walk from the train station which is also thier main center for Rome's subway and bus systems. Internet was available in the lobby, but was not available in the room since the wireless was not working correctly. The room was clean and the hotel was nice but our overall experience was just ok.
We had a wonderful experience at the Hotel Oceania. The location is excellent with public transportation, great restaurants and shopping very nearby. The rooms were quiet and clean. The staff was very gracious and helpful and the serve really delicious coffee! Rick Steves (2012) certainly didn't disappoint.
We stayed just one night but will surely stay here when again in Rome. Large old room with great renovated bathroom. Very clean and comfortable. Staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Even packed us a take away breakfast because we had to leave early.
We would stay here again. Great location, spacious rooms, good, friendly service. A bonus was classical music drifting up from the opera school on the level below.
Summary
It was such a comfortable experience here at this hotel and nice bonus there was classical music that came from a nearby opera school. Excellent location for that is on a quiet street, but also allow easy reach for principal city sights; the metro and city tour bus stop are really close. Clean and large room with a great renovated bathroom. The staff are a wealth of knowledge about the nearby restaurants , side trips, which was was super helpful. The breakfast not only has lots of choice but the quality of the continental foods and drinks on offer was great. They also provide take away breakfast. No wireless internet in the rooms, only available in the lobby.

Summary
The Oceania is a 2 - 3 star hotel but where it lacks in its grandeur it makes up for it with its staff. There is also the enjoyable music in the air from the nearby opera school and the hotel is not only comfortable but clean. The hotel's location is excellent. It lies just off of the Piazza della Repubblica on a quiet street and is close to buses and trains to allow reaching the city and sights easily. The hotel had a spotlessly clean, old double room with a great renovated bathroom. Breakfast was an ample continental breakfast with bread, pastries, juices, and coffee. it was lovely and you can get it to take away if you need to leave early. The Internet was only available in the lobby.

The Hotel Oceania has classical music from the opera school below drifting up, which is very beautiful and atmospheric. The hotel is in an excellent location. It is situated on a quite side street close to Piazza della Repubblica, the metro and the principal sights of the city. The hotel's rooms are clean, spacious and with a renovated bathroom. A continental breakfast including breads, pastries, juices and coffee. There is the option to take away if needed. The hotel provided internet in the lobby,

I feel the hotel is slightly overrated. The setting is fine, and there are lovely orange trees in the nice court yards of the smallish complex. However the rooms are noisy with tilen floors and banging doors. The room window gives unto the open tilen pathway leading past the doors. Breakfast is ok but basic. There is free internet available amidst the breakfast tables. Staff seems a little scarce, with the couple serving breakfast later in the day cleaning the rooms. What is missing however is the loving hand. For instance all flowers are made of plastic, even the azaleas and cyclamen outside in the garden. The personal touch somehow seems missing, and that really is a pity.
Hotel Santa Maria is a delightful, cheery & quiet place to stay, tucked away in a small street in Trastevere, Antonio (manager) is molto simpatico - friendly and very helpful. The hotel is not a fancy place, but quite comfy enough, with a good breakfast buffet, which you can eat in the lovely courtyard full of orange trees. The colorful neighborhood is great for walking around, lots of shops & outdoor restaurants that stay open late. You can easily walk to other sites in the city, though we mostly took cabs to centro to save time.
I found this area of Rome to be very special and the Hotel Santa Maria was more than I had expected. I enjoyed the peace and serentity with the safety gates, beautiful breakfast which could be taken either in the eating area or courtyard and a nice wine bar with appetizers. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Personnel were outstanding to work with. The Trastevere area is near all of the major attractions and yet, it is magical to stroll through a maze of fascinating medieval streets with some of the best restaurants in Rome.
Wonderful place to stay! An intimate, cozy place-loved the orange-tree courtyard. Front desk personnel was most helpful. Cleaning/cooking staff wonderful-very clean rooms. Breakfasts very filling and tasty-the scrambled eggs and cappuccino were my favorites. Neighborhood not touristy. 15-minute walk to the Colosseum; 25 min. to St. Peter's. They arranged driver for airport pickup and dropoff. Bells of neighboring Church could be sleep-disruptive for light sleepers, but earplugs blocked the noise.
Accomodating people who are always pleasent. Good breakfast. A block from Santa Maria Maggiore and Ponte Sisto but tucked away from all bustle. We walked to the center of Rome, Campo Fiore, Janiculum, all over Trastevere. Close to #8 tram with connections to airport, Tivoli and all of Rome. Private courtyard through gated drive. A good refuge for tired feet and bodies. We would go back.
We stayed here for five nights. a great base for exploring Rome; thank heavens we took a taxi - we'd never have found it by ourselves! Right in the middle of Trastevere, ideal for restaurants etc. Nice room, pity next doors plumbing is so noisy though, otherwise very peaceful. Very nice staff - would stay here again.
Spent 4 restful nights at a lovely oasis of calm in Trastevere. Very well looked after, nothing was too much trouble. Very convenient for all parts of Rome and Vatican. Lovely that rooms opened out into open air of courtyards.
This was a charming, albeit somewhat pricey, refuge from the overload of Rome. The employees were wonderful and the setting very peaceful. The location was also very handy, and I would definitely stay here again.
Summary
The hotel seems to be missing the personal details and it is perhaps slightly overrated. This hotel is beautifully set for walking to great sites of the city as well as shops and outdoor restaurants located close-by. The small complex that the hotel is located within had some beautiful orange trees as well, adding to the colourful neighbourhood. The rooms here are really lovely although were a bit noisy with doors banging. The breakfast buffet was really tasty if a little bit basic. The scrambled eggs are highly recommended. There was some noise coming from the bells of the nearby church therefore it is recommended to bring earplugs.

Summary
This hotel provides a wonderful, cosy and convenient place to stay. It is a little pricey however it's really charming. The hotel is ideally situated for local restaurants, being only a stone's throw from Santa Maria Maggiore and Ponte Sisto too. The hotel is close to a tram link to the airport, Tivoli and other areas in Rome. It was great that the rooms opened onto the courtyards but this and the tiled floors made them rather noisy. The hotel's breakfast was adequate but was nice to enjoy in a courtyard of orange trees. It is worth mentioning that the bell chimes from a nearby church can clearly be heard in the rooms, which may be a negative for some guests.

Summary
This hotel is a very nice and convenient base to explore Rome and the Vatican from but lacks a personal touch. It is cozy and charming but maybe overrated a little. This hotel is ideal for restaurants and in the middle of Trastevere and is only a block away from Santa Maria Maggiore and Ponte Sisto and within walking distance of the center of Rome, Campo Fiore and Janiculum. It is also not far from the tram with connections to the airport and there are lots of shops and beautiful colorful neighborhoods all around. The rooms are lovely in that there is the option for them to be opened out into the open air with the courtyards. However, the rooms can be become rather noisy due to the tilen floors and the doors that bang. There were not many staff here. Generally a very good buffet breakfast that offers scrambled eggs and cappuccino amongst other things. There is also access to the lovely courtyard that is covered in orange trees for when you want to eat your breakfast. The bells from the nearby church could cause sleep issues.

The Metropark Kowloon is a good hotel with very good price-quality ratio. Make sure you get a room in the Club floor, as some of the lower levels seem to be a bit outdated. The rooms are clean, comfortable and we couldn't hear any noises at any point so it was perfect for resting. Kowloon wasn't a beautiful area of Hong Kong, going back we would stay somewhere else, particularly if you are not into shopping (and you prefer cultural and walking activities). The staff weren't overly nice but they were helpful and alerted us that we were leaving our phone behind in the room straight away, which was particularly efficient. We found the shuttle bus to Mongkok and the harbour area extremely helpful and convenient and saved us a lot of time an money. Knowing more about Hong Kong now, I would not book a hotel with a swimming pool given the weather doesn't always permit swimming or sunbaking.
Stayed at this hotel for a week and apart from the location, which was a bit disappointing, I have no real complaints about the hotel. Upon arrival the staff were very helpful and took care of our luggage whilst we went to check in, at which we were quickly dealt with. The double room we stayed in was clean and the size was comfortable. We visited the hotel's two restaurants. The food in the restaurant was excellent and varied and is worth trying. The Sip Sip bar (which had a sporty theme) offered a good variety of cocktails and provided an opportunity to catch up with Premiership football matches. One tip I would suggest is that if you ever get a taxi back to the hotel make sure you tell the driver that you want to go to the Metropark Hotel Kowloon, as there is another Metropark Hotel nearby.
Right from the check-in to check-out, the staff and their service was prompt and excellent. The staff's compliance to our special requests within the reasonable limits is very highly commendable. The rooms were adequate except in the lighting level which we have found even in highly priced hotels - our personal preference is well/brightly lit room. The amenities in the bathroom/toilet was sufficient. The buffet breakfast included in the package was a nice spread and more than adequate to start the day off. Hats off to their free shuttle service to the main points from where we could get the MTR to any place we needed to go. Overall the best hotel at the best price for the one who needs to shower and hit the bed after a full day of sightseeing/shopping.
The staff were very helpful and the complimentary breakfasts for the period we were there were an unexpected bonus. The Internet connection wasa free as was the excellent 30 minute mini-bus service. We did not eat at the hotel except for breakfast prefering to take in the local eateries. We found that Langham Place in Mong Kok was quite good and was only a pleasant walk from the hotel although the hotel bus route took us close. The Ladies Market is in the same location as Langham Place and made for some happy bargaining. All in all, we enjoyed our stay there.
On our first trip to Hong Kong we stayed here at the Metro Park Kowloon, we only had a few days so spent most of it out of hotel, but the facilities seemed very good, lost available shop/florist/bar/snacks/pool. Buffet was very well presented and had wonderful variety. Rooms well kept, clean and modern. Air conditioning worked well, sometimes a little too well in the public places such as reception/lobbies etc, bit chilly compared to the humdity outside. Interesting Hong Kong traditions such as not using floor 13.i like superstitions!
Stayed for 3 nights in march and 1 night in april 2012. I stayed in the Club area of the hotel and found the lounge to be very quite and comfortable with coffee/tea and newspapers and a 'happy hour' each evening with drinks and snacks. Buffet breakfast was excellent with a wide range of choices available. Staff were very friendly. Hotel is located slightly away from the the CBD but was easily reached by MTR.
Cannot fault hotel in any way. Breakfast very good, lots of variety. Hotel shuttle bus is brilliant. First visit to Hong Kong for my 83yr old mother so we made good use of the shuttle bus. Would definitely stay here again and have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.
Avoid if you can. It's not in a good location, it's smelly and a bit scruffy.
Summary
The facilities of this hotel are really great and therefore it's one of the most enjoyable stays. The location of the hotel was rather disappointing and not a very scenic area of Hong Kong. The hotel's rooms are adequate, although perhaps a little darkly lit. The rooms are clean and quiet, although for a more updated room it is worth booking a room on the Club floor. There is nothing the staff find to be too much trouble. The buffet breakfast is absolutely amazing and really varied. In addition the restaurant provides some really good food that's worth trying. The hotel has a bi-hourly bus shuttle service available to guests. It is not worth getting a hotel with a pool as it is often not the climate for swimming etc.

Summary
The Metropark Kowloon is very cost effective and ideal for those who need to crash after a hard day's sightseeing and travelling. This hotel isn't in the best location but there were some bargains to be found at a nearby market. There are bus routes however so that is a bonus. The hotel room was spotless and quiet therefore peaceful. All amenities were sufficient enough for all needs and the size was fine. TThe breakfast buffet provided at the hotel had a lot of variety. The food in the restaurant is good and the Sip Sip bar had a wide range of cocktails on offer. There was free internet connection provided here and the 30 minute minibus service was really great and also free.

The double room we stayed in was clean and the size was comfortable. We visited the hotel's two restaurants. The food in the restaurant was excellent and varied and is worth trying. The Sip Sip bar (which had a sporty theme) offered a good variety of cocktails and provided an opportunity to catch up with Premiership football matches. One tip I would suggest is that if you ever get a taxi back to the hotel make sure you tell the driver that you want to go to the Metropark Hotel Kowloon, as there is another Metropark Hotel nearby.
Right from the check-in to check-out, the staff and their service was prompt and excellent. The staff's compliance to our special requests within the reasonable limits is very highly commendable. The rooms were adequate except in the lighting level which we have found even in highly priced hotels - our personal preference is well/brightly lit room. The amenities in the bathroom/toilet was sufficient. The buffet breakfast included in the package was a nice spread and more than adequate to start the day off. Hats off to their free shuttle service to the main points from where we could get the MTR to any place we needed to go. Overall the best hotel at the best price for the one who needs to shower and hit the bed after a full day of sightseeing/shopping.
The staff were very helpful and the complimentary breakfasts for the period we were there were an unexpected bonus. The Internet connection wasa free as was the excellent 30 minute mini-bus service. We did not eat at the hotel except for breakfast prefering to take in the local eateries. We found that Langham Place in Mong Kok was quite good and was only a pleasant walk from the hotel although the hotel bus route took us close. The Ladies Market is in the same location as Langham Place and made for some happy bargaining. All in all, we enjoyed our stay there.
On our first trip to Hong Kong we stayed here at the Metro Park Kowloon, we only had a few days so spent most of it out of hotel, but the facilities seemed very good, lost available shop/florist/bar/snacks/pool. Buffet was very well presented and had wonderful variety. Rooms well kept, clean and modern. Air conditioning worked well, sometimes a little too well in the public places such as reception/lobbies etc, bit chilly compared to the humdity outside. Interesting Hong Kong traditions such as not using floor 13.i like superstitions!
Stayed for 3 nights in march and 1 night in april 2012. I stayed in the Club area of the hotel and found the lounge to be very quite and comfortable with coffee/tea and newspapers and a 'happy hour' each evening with drinks and snacks. Buffet breakfast was excellent with a wide range of choices available. Staff were very friendly. Hotel is located slightly away from the the CBD but was easily reached by MTR.
Cannot fault hotel in any way. Breakfast very good, lots of variety. Hotel shuttle bus is brilliant. First visit to Hong Kong for my 83yr old mother so we made good use of the shuttle bus. Would definitely stay here again and have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.
Avoid if you can. It's not in a good location, it's smelly and a bit scruffy.
Summary
This hotel has two restaurants, is perfect for resting, is great quality and a good price. The hotel has a Club area which is comfortable and offers tea or coffee and newspapers on offer. Great for sightseeing or shopping but the facilities at the hotel are good too. The location is okay, it is not the nicest of areas but there are some attractions that are walking distance from the hotel. This hotel's rooms are clean and comfortable and include amenities in the bathrooms. The lighting isn't as bright as it could be. The hotel buffet looks very nice and the breakfast was plentiful. Coffee, tea, and drinks were also available and the restaurant food was delicious. The hotel provides many amenities for its guests, including free Wi-Fi and a mini bus shuttle service.

Best Hotel we have stayed in! We stayed at the Langham Place for 5 nights in August and were not disappointed. My wife and I both agreed that is probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in.Hotel staff could not be more helpful and the standards of cleanliness in the rooms and elsewhere was excellent.Rooms are not huge but of a very high standard.Food quality is also superb and multi-cultural.The only slight negative point was the hotel's location, in that it is in a working class area of Kowloon that is not the most pleasant area to walk around (especially late at night). The MTR (Tube) is very close and efficient and Hong Kong island is about 15 minutes away.We booked one of the Club Rooms which are high up and give an excellent view of the City. Also the Club Rooms enable 24hr access the Hotel's Club lounge which entitles you to free breakfast (which is excellent) and free snacks and drinks at any time.
Is O K The room booked were for a family of three, they called them Kowloon Room, which supposed to be a bit bigger than the standard room in the Hotel. I still found it to be small for three peoples.The advertised blissful bed were no better than any other hotel bed, hence firm and not too comfy.The Hotel is O K as a 4 star Hotel with over priced buffet meals and breckfest.The buffet in the morning and dinner times are more or less the same every night and you soon get sick of what's there.I would recommand to sample the local eateria and your money will go a long way.The gym and swimming pool are very good, especially the spa facilities, you will get all the steam room and sauna with in the changing room area and also a hot tub, all in all the spa facilities make the stay a bit special.
5 star hotel 2 star attitude Good Hotel to start with, but was astonished when they could not accept my visa debit card and instead wanted a credit card.! Debit card means you have the money in bank and not taking a loan like credit card.! Had to keep a 1000$ security deposit instead.Excellent room, good service and though staff's are not highly trained but very much co-operative. My hassle was to pay them all bills at the end of the day throughout my 7 days stay, as due to some strange reasons they were unable to believe that I do not carry a credit card, and probably wanted to make sure that I do not catch my flight back to Dubai after seven days with all bills unpaid.I have stayed in Conrad and Peninsula in HK on my earlier visits, and have never faced such a issue.
recommend Worth booking into the club floor for the daily cocktail hour,internet access and all day nibbles.Staff excellent and the spa amazing and not 'over the top' expensive.Great couples facilities for massage and treatmentsGreat shopping mall attached and centrally located to other attractions.Beware the taxi drivers who take you the extra long route to destinations
Heaven! The hotel was perfect, really well looked after and the room was lovely with a good view. Free dvds and internet access were also provided. The weather was quite mixed so direct access to the mall and cinema next door proved very useful! Slightly expensive but i'd definitely stay again.
Loved The Langham Great hotel.Staff excellent can't do enough for you.Lovely room great view.Try the Spa is really lush.Reccommend to all.

Summary
This is such a great hotel it's highly recommended and you won't regret booking again and again. The rooms are a good size and with a good view. Some of the staff were not highly trained or had a bad attitude. The multicultural food was really welcomed as it was of great quality and taste. The hotel provided free DVDs for guests.

We had three nights at the Swissotel Sydney On Market Street and enjoyed our stay. We had a corner room with views out across the city. Rooms are not huge but are comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was included in our three-day rate and it was excellent. We also had one evening meal at the hotel. While the meal was good, the prices were a little more than we expected. Location is excellent and in walking distance of tourist attractions, shopping and underground rail. It is a quaint hotel in that the hotel is built above Myer shopping emporium and to check in means taking dropping suitcases with a porter at the small off-street entry and taking a lift to the 8th floor which opens out onto an elegant lobby and reception. Staff were courteous and help-yourself bowls of Granny Smith apples near the lifts were appreciated. Happy to recommend the hotel.
we stayed for 5 nights in the swissotel sydney. It is a great hotel with a great location. Town hall station in a 5 minute walk, St James station is about 3 mins away. If there are two or more people it is probably cheaper to get a taxi from the airport. Our room was massive, modern and spotlessly clean. the only downside was having paid the hotel bill in full before our arrival, the reception proceeded to charge my credit card again. This was a major inconvience as we were at the end of our 3 week holiday and my credit card was near it's limit. The problem was eventually sorted after a few days but it prevented me from using my card during this time. Although helpful, I didn't even get an apology from the staff!
I stayed at this Hotel for 6 nights, and not sure if I would return again if in Sydney. The location is excellent and the concierge know their stuff, but sadly I think it ends there. When I checked in I was informed that I had been upgraded, but on further inspection it was the room that I had actually paid for in advance. The room itself had a balcony (for which I paid extra), but no views as such, not like it was described on their website. The Hotel was busy and I was told to check on a daily basis if I wanted to change rooms. I was hassled most mornings at breakfast, because my name did not appear on the list which it should have been. Definitely not a 5 Star Hotel.Internet charges outrageous.
we booked to stay here through wotif.com after initially looking to rent a self catered apartment from which to explore sydney we found this to be a very good price for us to have a very comfortable room, our flight landed at 0530 the day we were checking in so i wrote to the hotel to ask how early we could check in not expecting a positive response but we got a nice reply and when we arrived after a 24hr flight from france we were given our room at 6am!, very good. staff very nice would reccommend here for a good base in sydney.
Hotel room was nicely appointed and with a good city view. For a Sunday night though the food on offer was limited - as was the service. Staff had to be asked for drinks and to order food - and it did seem to be an inconvenience that we wanted service. Breakfast was the standard continental or hot and nothing very exciting. Once again the staff seemed to be inconvenienced by our presence. Given the nice rooms and good location it was disappointing that the service was so slack and uninspiring.
the hotel itself is a bit difficult to find, and apparently not well known. location is supreme however in between george and pitt street. also very near darling harbour and town hall rail station. service was not much above average. the biggest disgust experienced was indeed the exceedingly high cost of internet and difficulty accessing once you have registered. during my trips back to sydney, i will definitely compare other hotels before here, such as Hilton or Marriot.
I experianced a most enjoyable stay with a nice room the location to my business appointment was just ideal and the service in the resturant caould not be faulted. Nice and friendly. Unfortunately the sign out was very frustrating - too long.
Restaurant very good. Problem with bathroom was resolved very quickly.
Summary
Overall an enjoyable stay. This is a very recommended hotel.

The hotel was a great place to stay and comes highly recommended. The spa was incredible. The area the hotel is located in is not very nice to walk in. Generally a really nice room with great views. The bed was a bit firm but the room itself was lovely. It is clear that some of the staff need more training and a more professional attitude in dealing with problems. The food at the hotel offered a multi cultural selection .

Summary
Langham Place does not disappoint with its new shopping mall and spa. This hotel is attached to the mall and cinema which was great because sometimes this location has unpredictable weather. Medium sized rooms that are to a high standard with excellent views. Rooms are well maintained, with standard beds. Some of the staff was lack training. A buffet style dinner is offered every evening, and the quality of the multi cultural cuisine is generally well liked amongst guests that visit. The food options can get repetitive if staying for a longer trip, however your money goes a long way when eating at this hotel. The daily cocktail hour is also worth a visit, alongside daily nibbles provided by the hotel. The hotel provided free DVDs for guests to watch.

My husband, son and daughter-in-law recently stayed four nights here and EVERYTHING was just great! We flew into Midway, caught the EL in and walked 1 1/2 blocks to the hotel. We were guided each time out to what was the fastest/easiest way to either bus, train or told to take a taxi by the hotel staff. We loved every minute of our stay. The ONLY snafu was the outside flags mounted to the window of the room during a really windy time around 3-4am kept banging. Everything was clean, neat and the folks were super, super nice!
Traveled to Chicago for baseball, Cubs vs Giants. After an exhaustive search chose the La Quinta for both location and cost. We were not disappointed. Clean modern rooms, breakfast buffet and business center all exceeded our expectations for mid-level chain hotel. Public transportation is readily assessable and the hotel is within walking distance to most sights within the downtown loop. Would definitely stay there again.
Love, loved this place! Great location.it was within walking distance to the Taste of Chicago and other attractions. The rooms were updated and clean. Pretty spacey.the bathroom was HUGE! They also served continental breakfast which is always a plus in my book. There was a lot of food choices and the staff was SO friendly! Definately will stay again!
We spent 3 nights at this hotel. Staff were helpful and relatively friendly, breakfast was very good and our room was very comfortable. Not too far from the downtown area, it can be walked in about 20 mins or there is easy transport within a block or two. Would stay there again . . and Chicago was great!
Hotel was very crowded, people dogs everywhere elevators were painfully slow, and the free breakfast was more like a soup kitchen, big lineups no were to sit, and I went back 3 times with no luck. so I just gave up after awhile and went out for food.
the staff were all very courteous and helpful the complimentary breakfast was very good, lots of good choices, the food/beverages are all laid out well for people to walk through out the room the room was fine, one stand out would be the thermostat control for heat/cool.
Stayed at this hotel for a weekend vacation. Rooms were clean. The front desk staff for the most part were friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in an excellent location. Close to many area attractions such as the Willis Tower.
I stayed 2 nights for business and my conference was 3 blocks away. I could not have asked for a better hotel for my top 3 concerns: Clean, Price, and Location. I would stay here again even for pleasure.
Summary
The hotel was great and comes highly recommended. The hotel is close to transport networks. The modern rooms were really clean. What really stood out was the thermostat that controls the heat and coolness of the room. The complimentary breakfast provided by the hotel was substandard. The hotel has a thermostat control.

You could stay here for pleasure or otherwise because it's such a great hotel. The public transportation is incredibly close. The hotel has modern rooms, even having a thermostat control for the room's temperature. Whilst the breakfast was free it felt a lot more like a soup kitchen with massive lines and nowhere to even sit. There was a thermostat that was useful for controlling how hot or cool you would like it to be.

We stayed here for one night with our two kids, as they hotel could not accommodate both nights of our stay during a recent road trip. Like just about everything else in Chicago, the prices were steep. We were expecting more for the price we paid, but found only typical accommodations. We liked the location, the friendly and helpful bellhops, the views from our room and the top floor ballroom, and in and out privileges for the parking. We missed not having a mini fridge, and felt that having only one chair in a deluxe room with two queen beds was a miss even though there was plenty of room for more comfortable seating. The valet staff was slow to bring our car at checkout. There were no others waiting, and no new arrivals, yet it took them 20 minutes to get our car to us.
Stayed here in middle of June 2011. My partner was in Chicago on business and I tagged along for fun. We had both been to Chicago before. Things I really liked about the hotel: the location was amazing and the view was really nice; the bed was very comfortable; the staff was pleasant and helpful; the business center had a printer which was great for printing boarding passes. Our remote controls never really worked, and the noise level from the hallways was surprising. I found the bathroom wasn't very clean when we arrived (hairs in the bathtub, etc) and we sometimes found certain parts of our deluxe room a little unsavoury smelling. For parking, you do have in-and-out privileges, which is quite nice.
We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful hotel and enjoyed every minute of it. Our room located on the 25th floor gave us a wonderful view of the Chicago River. This was my kids first time seeing snow fall, so the river was a nice backdrop. Two minor drawbacks: no soda vending machines and the toilet paper seemed a little cheap for such a nice hotel. Also, if you want a refrigerator make sure you request it. Not all rooms have them. The front desk clerks were warm and friendly.
Were hoping for the best since this isn't a 'brand' name but SOOO HAPPY we tried this boutique hotel. STAFF was GREAT as well as EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE! LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Celebrating friends 50th the LADIES had a fab time all around and such a GREAT view of the City! As one other reviewer stated - it would be nice to have a mini fridge but all in all THUMBS UP UP UP!
Hotel 71 a great place to stay very close to all attractions lovely situation on the river.Very pleasant and helpful staff.Enjoyed my stay immensly.Windows can be opened to let in fresh air not like the New York hotel we stayed in very stuffy with the air conditioning .If going to Chicago stay here.Also found a great diner on Clarke st Ronneys Steak House very reasonable and great eggs and bacon
Great Chicago Location. View of the river was beautiful. The rooms were huge, especially compared to other Chicago hotels. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. Only negative is the wait for the 1 elevator.sometimes up to 10 minutes. As long as you plan ahead, it isn't too big of a problem. Will stay here again!
We booked this hotel through TravelZoo, and we had a very nice stay there. Our room had a huge bath with both a shower and a separate tub - plus two separate sinks. Everything was very clean. The check-in process was very smooth, and our room was available for us even at 1 PM. Would definitely stay here again.
Stayed here for 2 nights for the Neocon conference. The location is excellent for business or pleasure and at a price much less than other hotels nearby. Would definitely stay again.
Summary
This hotel was not worth the price paid for it. The hotel is situated in an excellent location on the river. The rooms were very large with a great view of the Chicago River although at times smelt unsavoury and had a dirty bathroom. The hotel did not have a drinks vending machine or fridge and the toilet paper was of a poor quality.

The check-in process was very smooth, and our room was available for us even at 1 PM. Would definitely stay here again.
Stayed here for 2 nights for the Neocon conference. The location is excellent for business or pleasure and at a price much less than other hotels nearby. Would definitely stay again.
Summary
Considering what you pay for this hotel your expectations might be a little too high because it only provides typical accommodations. The hotel provides a great view of the city. Additionally there is a lovely river nearby as well, which gives the best view of the river. Also included is a huge bathroom with separate sinks as well as separate bathtub and shower. The deluxe room itself was particularly big. Sadly there was no mini fridge available to eat and drink anything in the room and there also wasn't any vending machines for snacks or drink. The toilet paper at this hotel seems quite cheap.

We stayed here for one night with our two kids, as they hotel could not accommodate both nights of our stay during a recent road trip. Like just about everything else in Chicago, the prices were steep. We were expecting more for the price we paid, but found only typical accommodations. We liked the location, the friendly and helpful bellhops, the views from our room and the top floor ballroom, and in and out privileges for the parking. We missed not having a mini fridge, and felt that having only one chair in a deluxe room with two queen beds was a miss even though there was plenty of room for more comfortable seating. The valet staff was slow to bring our car at checkout. There were no others waiting, and no new arrivals, yet it took them 20 minutes to get our car to us.
Stayed here in middle of June 2011. My partner was in Chicago on business and I tagged along for fun. We had both been to Chicago before. Things I really liked about the hotel: the location was amazing and the view was really nice; the bed was very comfortable; the staff was pleasant and helpful; the business center had a printer which was great for printing boarding passes. Our remote controls never really worked, and the noise level from the hallways was surprising. I found the bathroom wasn't very clean when we arrived (hairs in the bathtub, etc) and we sometimes found certain parts of our deluxe room a little unsavoury smelling. For parking, you do have in-and-out privileges, which is quite nice.
We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful hotel and enjoyed every minute of it. Our room located on the 25th floor gave us a wonderful view of the Chicago River. This was my kids first time seeing snow fall, so the river was a nice backdrop. Two minor drawbacks: no soda vending machines and the toilet paper seemed a little cheap for such a nice hotel. Also, if you want a refrigerator make sure you request it. Not all rooms have them. The front desk clerks were warm and friendly.
Were hoping for the best since this isn't a 'brand' name but SOOO HAPPY we tried this boutique hotel. STAFF was GREAT as well as EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE! LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Celebrating friends 50th the LADIES had a fab time all around and such a GREAT view of the City! As one other reviewer stated - it would be nice to have a mini fridge but all in all THUMBS UP UP UP!
Hotel 71 a great place to stay very close to all attractions lovely situation on the river.Very pleasant and helpful staff.Enjoyed my stay immensly.Windows can be opened to let in fresh air not like the New York hotel we stayed in very stuffy with the air conditioning .If going to Chicago stay here.Also found a great diner on Clarke st Ronneys Steak House very reasonable and great eggs and bacon
Great Chicago Location. View of the river was beautiful. The rooms were huge, especially compared to other Chicago hotels. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. Only negative is the wait for the 1 elevator.sometimes up to 10 minutes. As long as you plan ahead, it isn't too big of a problem. Will stay here again!

Summary
Considerably expensive for what was provided, however overall it is a beautiful place to visit. The location is being near the river and it offers great views of the city. Large, spacious rooms with excellent views of the Chicago River in some. However, the cleanliness isn't a high quality and could be improved. There were no vending machines with soda and no mini-fridge.
Reviews
Ideally located, within minutes of the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar etc and in the heart of the old City of Istanbul, close to tram and autobus and the main street in Sultanahmet. Stunning views of the Bosphorus, sunrise and sunset from the rooftop bar area and dining room. Breakfast and dinner can also be taken in the rooftop area which has a glorious panoramic view of the City, especially after dark. Caner, our host on arrival at reception was very knowledgeble and gave good advice re places to visit, all hotel staff were very friendly. Free internet access in the reception area was an unexpected bonus. The bedroom was a little dark and not a lot of space if you have large suitcases, we were here for 7 nights, plenty to chose from at breakfast, although pretty much the same every day, lots of fruit, cheeses, breads, choice of eggs, teas and coffees etc. Overall a fantastic boutique style hotel, THANK YOU CANER, regards, Lyn & Shahbaz
We spent there 3 nights (celebrated my birthday)- and liked everything: very clean and cosy rooms, breakfast on open terrace with breathtaking views of the city&sea. Location is perfect ,managers are very professional and hospitable (special thanks to Mr. Ali Aldemir). We were happy to have some pleasant suprises from the hotel: wine, fruits, transfer to airport :) I'm glad that we stayed at Mina hotel. Absolutely recommended!
Excellent situation close to blue mosque at the heart of Sultan Ahmet district. We were lucky to get a good deal in high season. Room size is small but well furnished. There's a beautiful roof top and terrace facing the golden horn and the blue mosque; Wonderful night view. The reception staff were polite and room service was acceptable. They also offered us free shuttle service back to the airport.
i liked this hotel a lot.the reception was perfect, the room good but not spacey( no 208 or 209 i think.also the management should think to put a brush in the toilet for the .you know. there was no brush.a last thing that i d like to say is that the staff of the restaurant wasnt very smiley with you if you didnt leave a tip.
Great location 5 minutes walk to the Grand Bazzar and many other historic and traditional places in Sultanahmet. The breakfast is buffet and it's good not too bad. The staff very friendly and always trying to help. The only disadvantage we faced is that there is no wireless internet in the rooms, only in the looby.
Lovely hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet with spectacular views from the roof terrace. Excellent value for money with friendly and accommoating staff. Rooms were clean and comfortable, all thats required when visiting a city. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, and i would definately stay at the Mina hotel again.
This hotel is in the old quarter of Istanbul-it is short walk to all the tourist spots.The rooms are small but clean-breakfast is buffet style and delicious.The view from the breakfast area is fantastic.Reception staff are ready to answer any questions you have about the area.We would definitely go back to the Hotel Mina again!
Not a negative to this place. Easy stay, with a breakfast fit for a king!
Summary
It's a good hotel and would definitely recommend as well as return for another stay. The hotel is in a perfect location in the old quarter of Istanbul. The hotel is within minutes of the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar, along with many other traditional and historic places in Sultanahmet. The rooms here are cosy and on the small side but always very clean and comfortable enough. The staff were knowledgeable about the local area. The breakfast was fit for a king so that's definitely recommended. There was nothing not to like especially with breakfast on an open terrace. The hotel provides complimentary internet access in the reception.

Summary
The hotel was a wonderful boutique style and there were some pleasant surprises provided such as wines, fresh fruits and transport provided to the hotel. Highly recommended. Everything is within walking distance from the hotel here including the public transportation, which you can take to get to the main street. The rooms in the hotel were a little small but clean and comfortable. There is no WiFi available in the room and not a lot of room for storage. The staff are so helpful and always willing to help out with their polite manners. The hotel provides a great breakfast and both breakfast and dinner can be enjoyed at the rooftop dining area. There was an unexpected bonus to this hotel and that is the reception area provides guests with free internet access.
Reviews
We had three nights at the Swissotel Sydney On Market Street and enjoyed our stay. We had a corner room with views out across the city. Rooms are not huge but are comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was included in our three-day rate and it was excellent. We also had one evening meal at the hotel. While the meal was good, the prices were a little more than we expected. Location is excellent and in walking distance of tourist attractions, shopping and underground rail. It is a quaint hotel in that the hotel is built above Myer shopping emporium and to check in means taking dropping suitcases with a porter at the small off-street entry and taking a lift to the 8th floor which opens out onto an elegant lobby and reception. Staff were courteous and help-yourself bowls of Granny Smith apples near the lifts were appreciated. Happy to recommend the hotel.
we stayed for 5 nights in the swissotel sydney. It is a great hotel with a great location. Town hall station in a 5 minute walk, St James station is about 3 mins away. If there are two or more people it is probably cheaper to get a taxi from the airport. Our room was massive, modern and spotlessly clean. the only downside was having paid the hotel bill in full before our arrival, the reception proceeded to charge my credit card again. This was a major inconvience as we were at the end of our 3 week holiday and my credit card was near it's limit. The problem was eventually sorted after a few days but it prevented me from using my card during this time. Although helpful, I didn't even get an apology from the staff!
I stayed at this Hotel for 6 nights, and not sure if I would return again if in Sydney. The location is excellent and the concierge know their stuff, but sadly I think it ends there. When I checked in I was informed that I had been upgraded, but on further inspection it was the room that I had actually paid for in advance. The room itself had a balcony (for which I paid extra), but no views as such, not like it was described on their website. The Hotel was busy and I was told to check on a daily basis if I wanted to change rooms. I was hassled most mornings at breakfast, because my name did not appear on the list which it should have been. Definitely not a 5 Star Hotel.Internet charges outrageous.
we booked to stay here through wotif.com after initially looking to rent a self catered apartment from which to explore sydney we found this to be a very good price for us to have a very comfortable room, our flight landed at 0530 the day we were checking in so i wrote to the hotel to ask how early we could check in not expecting a positive response but we got a nice reply and when we arrived after a 24hr flight from france we were given our room at 6am!, very good. staff very nice would reccommend here for a good base in sydney.
Hotel room was nicely appointed and with a good city view. For a Sunday night though the food on offer was limited - as was the service. Staff had to be asked for drinks and to order food - and it did seem to be an inconvenience that we wanted service. Breakfast was the standard continental or hot and nothing very exciting. Once again the staff seemed to be inconvenienced by our presence. Given the nice rooms and good location it was disappointing that the service was so slack and uninspiring.
the hotel itself is a bit difficult to find, and apparently not well known. location is supreme however in between george and pitt street. also very near darling harbour and town hall rail station. service was not much above average. the biggest disgust experienced was indeed the exceedingly high cost of internet and difficulty accessing once you have registered. during my trips back to sydney, i will definitely compare other hotels before here, such as Hilton or Marriot.
I experianced a most enjoyable stay with a nice room the location to my business appointment was just ideal and the service in the resturant caould not be faulted. Nice and friendly. Unfortunately the sign out was very frustrating - too long.
Restaurant very good. Problem with bathroom was resolved very quickly.
Summary
It is worth it for the enjoyable stay. This hotel is highly recommended.

Summary
A highly recommended hotel that goes above and beyond for its customers, including arranged transfers to the airport and fruits and wine. With only a 5 minute walk to places like the Grand Bazzar or the center of Istanbul's old city, views of the Bosphorus this hotel sits in the old quarter and isn't far from popular tourist spots. It's rooftop terrace also offers views of the Golden Horn and the Blue Mosque and the sunsets are amazing from there. Although the size of the rooms here are small, they are well furnished, clean and comfortable. The only downside to the rooms at this hotel are that there is no wireless internet available unless you're in the lobby, and the rooms can seem quite dark to be in. The staff was okay. They were polite and helpful when they needed to be. The breakfast was Kingly. Very good. Having free WiFi in the lobby was a pleasant surprise.

Nowadays, it is so rare that those in the hospitality industry aspire to go above and beyond what is expected. I was warmly greeted with such personalized attention the second I stepped outside the car. I was immediately escorted to a private check-in floor while my bags were being taken to my room. When I entered, I had a personalized message from the manager welcoming me to The Conrad, Istanbul, which just reiterated the same warm verbal welcome I received from the bellman and the staff associated who informed me of the great number of resources available to me while I was a guest of the hotel. While I had a postcard view of the Bosphorous from my room, I could further embrace that beauty and enjoy drinks, snacks, reading material and conversation with fellow guests. The Conrad, Istanbul was a breath of fresh air when it comes to the hospitality industry. My requests were handled to my satisfactions, quickly and it was flattering to know that President Obama had also stayed at the hotel in April 2009. The one and only criticism I have of the hotel and its services is the exorbitant in-room internet fees. Hopefully those either have been or will be readjusted to a more industry competitive rate.
I stayed here on a business trip. The hotel has a very good location, very close to the shores of the Bosphorus, 5 minutes from Yildiz Park. The room was very competitively priced relative to other hotels that one might consider for a business trip. My room was fine, although the view of the courtyard was less than inspiring. Explains the cheap (for Istanbul) room rate. The facilities are great for a business traveller - great gym etc, quick, efficient and very friendly service. Would recommend the hotel.
Stayed here on business for three nights. Reception very efficient and welcoming. Rooms are a nice size with all facilities you would expect and housekeeping was perfect. The bar on the 14th floor has great views of the Bosporus - you must go up there. Breakfast was plentiful but very busy at peak times. Gym is small but sufficient for a quick work out. The area was a bit out of the way but fine for work. Meeting rooms were good and wifi worked ! I would be happy to visit again.
The hotel has beautiful public spaces, and the meals were delicious. You can walk across the park to many small restaurants favored by young people and university students. The rooms are modern with bathtubs. Istanbul is a huge city and traffic is awful so it is best to stay in a hotel near where you plan to visit. I wanted to go to a Catholic Church (St. Anthony of Padua) and it took me 40 minutes by cab.
We stayed on the 15th floor. Great view. great food. they do shut down the bar and food right at the designated hour. we were a couple mins late and everything was gone. taking the metro to the golden horn is very easy. I recommend buying an Akbill to make it very simple.
Ohh my God.I never seen in my life Hotel General Manager yelling his Staff. Checking in and out was very ruff. Until 8 floor ,you have to pay for dialup service for internet. And Construction noise. Ohh my God.Dont stay here.
Thia hotel needs a renovation! Is very very old (my room smells cigaret and the carpet is terrible! My lugagge taks 1:30 to go to my room
Good location. Perfect staff. Excellent hotel for leisure and business
Summary
This is the perfect hotel for both leisure and business stays and is a welcome breath of fresh air for the hospitality industry. You can walk across the park near the hotel to a number of restaurants. The hotel's rooms are modern, adequately sized.and competitively priced. It is even possible to see the Bosphorous from some of the rooms. The staff based at the hotel were generally good, but there were some instances of unprofessional conduct. Unfortunately the dial-up service to access the internet is a paid service. Additionally the gym is pretty small but it's fine for a quick workout.

The Conrad hotel warmly greets its guests upon arrival and are far beyond the expected norms when it comes to hospitality. The hotel is just across a park from many popular restaurants. At this hotel the rooms are of a decent size with modern facilities and look. The views are good from the room and the price was a competitive rate. For the most part the staff at this hotel are really great and make you feel very welcome, especially with personalised messages and general friendliness. They handled any requests efficiently and had plenty of recommendations for resources. All meals here were delicious however they shut down the bar at a designated hour. The hotel has a small gym on site which is ideal for a workout. Some of the floors on the hotel you will need to pay for dial-up internet.

Summary
The Conrad hotel is great for business or pleasure and the staff greets its guests with personalized attention the moment they arrive which is so rare these days. This location is quite out of the way so it is best to book somewhere close to where you plan to visit. The area's small restaurants are local university students' favourites so that is something to bear in mind. The rooms at this hotel are modern, clean, and nice. Views of the courtyard are lacking inspiration where the picturesque scenery of the Bosphorous was lovely. The staff offered a very friendly service along with a personalized message from the manager to warmly welcome visitors to The Conrad, Istanbul. They were efficient and quick and informative about everything available to guests of the hotel. Delicious food that you can enjoy while looking over at some fantastic views of the Bosporus. This hotel provides a small gym that can be convenient for those wanting to complete a quick work out. Although the location of the hotel is slightly out of the way, it is still suitable for those visiting for business.

My wife and I booked here during the last week in October 2006 for a total of 4 nights and were very happy, well looked after and would definitely book again. Our room was first class. The hotel was excellent value, the breakfast buffet was unlimited and varied and the service could not be bettered. The situation for a tourist could not be more convenient as it is so central and most sites can be walked to within minutes. When transport is required the Grand Canal is 5 minutes away. As the hotel has no restaurant it is necessary to eat out (no bad thing when visiting a new city) and the recommendations of the concierge can be trusted. We followed their advice and were very happy indeed. It helps to allow them to book the restaurants, as they managed to get us in at our preferred time, when we could not. Tony Brazier
we had a wonderful 5 days in venice, and the hotel is really nice and well located. when we arrived they tried to put us in an attic room, which was really small and full of low beams and dark too. we eventually got a lovely room and had to pay an extra 20 euro a day for the pleasure. the breakfast is great. the trip to murano is not good, they offer free transport to the factory, and when you get there they really push you to buy very expensive glass. i would advise anybody going to murano to go on the normal boat and then you have choice, because there are several factories and thousands of shops and all much cheaper than the one we were sent to.
We stayed at this hotel in a busy September time. It was quiet and quaint and the hotel staff was very friendly. We first got taken to a room across the bridge from the main hotel (1st floor) that seemed more like a dorm room than a hotel room. We asked to be changed into the main hotel and they showed us two rooms to look at. The first one was the size of a box but the second one was great. The location is great once you get your bearings in Venice. I would stay here again. Don't get room 107 though as it is literally in the breakfast area. We were on the second floor in a corner room.
When we found this hotel on internet we couldn't even look at others. their website looks great and I was looking forward to discover if the reality raises up to the expectations. And it did. We had a room with a mezzanine, the rooms were spacious, 2 TVs (we never used them though), nice clean bathroom with bathtub, king size bed, pretty special atmosphere overall.
Loved that it was hidden off the beaten path in a quiet neighborhood, yet so close to everything. Our rooms were very clean and the staff was very nice to my husband and I our two sons and my parents. I thought the Hotel was charming. We all enjoyed our stay there.
This is a lovely hotel and despite some of the reviews saying it was difficult to find, we had no dramas at all. The staff were very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. There are lots of places to eat near by and getting St marks takes 5 minutes.
Small hotel but in an ideal location to see sights. Breakfast basic and in a very small room which filled up quickly. Take comfy walking shoes to get around and plenty of money as the pound is not very strong against Euro and it is expensive to eat in and around venice
The location was great, very close to San Marco piazza, which was an excellent place to spend an evening. The owners were friendly, the rooms were clean, and the price was good (for Venice).
Summary
This lovely and charming hotel can be busy during September time. This hotel is nicely located in quiet neighborhood and also close to the best things to do in Venice. The room were clean but it seems more like a dorm than a hotel room. You need to spend extra 20 euro for an upgrade. Very friendly owners. While the breakfast is basic here the breakfast area is quite small and it gets filled up fast, there are lots of places near by; the staff will even make a reservation for you. The local boat trip to Murano is worth it but the advice would be to go on the normal boat.

My wife and I booked here during the last week in October 2006 for a total of 4 nights and were very happy, well looked after and would definitely book again. Our room was first class. The hotel was excellent value, the breakfast buffet was unlimited and varied and the service could not be bettered. The situation for a tourist could not be more convenient as it is so central and most sites can be walked to within minutes. When transport is required the Grand Canal is 5 minutes away. As the hotel has no restaurant it is necessary to eat out (no bad thing when visiting a new city) and the recommendations of the concierge can be trusted. We followed their advice and were very happy indeed. It helps to allow them to book the restaurants, as they managed to get us in at our preferred time, when we could not. Tony Brazier
we had a wonderful 5 days in venice, and the hotel is really nice and well located. when we arrived they tried to put us in an attic room, which was really small and full of low beams and dark too. we eventually got a lovely room and had to pay an extra 20 euro a day for the pleasure. the breakfast is great. the trip to murano is not good, they offer free transport to the factory, and when you get there they really push you to buy very expensive glass. i would advise anybody going to murano to go on the normal boat and then you have choice, because there are several factories and thousands of shops and all much cheaper than the one we were sent to.
We stayed at this hotel in a busy September time. It was quiet and quaint and the hotel staff was very friendly. We first got taken to a room across the bridge from the main hotel (1st floor) that seemed more like a dorm room than a hotel room. We asked to be changed into the main hotel and they showed us two rooms to look at. The first one was the size of a box but the second one was great. The location is great once you get your bearings in Venice. I would stay here again. Don't get room 107 though as it is literally in the breakfast area. We were on the second floor in a corner room.
When we found this hotel on internet we couldn't even look at others. their website looks great and I was looking forward to discover if the reality raises up to the expectations. And it did. We had a room with a mezzanine, the rooms were spacious, 2 TVs (we never used them though), nice clean bathroom with bathtub, king size bed, pretty special atmosphere overall.

Summary
The hotel is generally good but may be a little difficult to find. The hotel really nicely located off the beaten path, hidden away in a quiet neighborhood. It is great once you get your bearings in Venice and is close to everything but the trip to Murano, though free, is not good. The room was clean with a good price for Venice. It was more of a dorm room than a hotel room away from the main hotel but we were eventually able to get a lovely room for an additional cost. The owners of this hotel were very friendly. The hotel offers a basic breakfast but the room is too small and fills quickly. There are places to eat nearby but you can also book a place in the restaurant. One boat tried was the size of a box so if going to Murano, go on the normal boat.

Summary
This is a charming hotel with several factories and shops nearby to give you choices in your shopping experience. Even during the busy September season, it is a enjoyable experience. And don't worry about being able to find it. It's no drama to locate and everyone will enjoy their stay. The hotel was well located and right on the Grand Canal. The hotel was located off of the beaten path so you can avoid a lot of tourists. The location was central for the main water boat routes too. The room was lovely, although across from the main hotel. It was a second floor corner room that was a bit smaller than anticipated, but at a good price and very clean. The owners of the hotel were welcoming. The hotel's breakfast was adequate although a little basic. The hotel can book the restaurant for you at your preferred time. The best way for hotel guests to go to Murano is by normal boat.

My mother and I stayed here for 3 nights as part of our tour of Europe and were so impressed with this hotel. All the staff could not have been more helpful with directions, sight seeing recommendations and restaurants. We had a blue room as we felt we needed a little bit of room and preferred a view of the Grand Canal We were certainly not disappointed. After a busy day shopping and sighteeing we would arrive back to our beautiful room with a bottle of vino, open our windows to the Grand Canal and watch Venetian life pass by, it was brilliant! The twin basin bathroom with beautiful chandeliers was a little luxury also when there is two of you. After choosing this hotel from many on tripadvisor we were so relieved to find it was everything we had hoped, read and wished for. Thank you Alessandro and Gianni for a memorable stay! I hope to one day return with my husband!
The Huddos. Paynesville. Victoria. Australia We have returned to Australia after 6 weeks travelling overseas, we stayed at some wonderful places but our favorite place was Hotel Antiche Figure in Venice. Our stay was made so memorable by the receptionist who made us so welcome and looked after all our needs, the position right on the Grand Canal and the service. We stayed with two other couples and all agreed that we would recommend this hotel to all our friends back in Australia. The breakfast was fine and the rooms were very clean, one of our group had upgraded to a balcony room looking over the canal and l would recommend that it is well worth paying the extra for the view of all the activity that happens on the Grand Canal.
The Hotel Antiche lives up to all of the positive reviews that have been written abuot it. The main advantage as far as I am concerned is its location right on the Grand Canal directly opposite the Santa Lucia railway station and within 100 metres or so of the main (only!) bus station. When you arrive in Venice the vast majority of travellers will arrive at one of these two locations. Then you are set loose into the MAZE that is Venice! When you witness the poor travellers who go round in circles trying to find their hotel, it is comforting to have a hotel that is located in such fine position. As for the accomodation itself, it has all been said previously.
The hotel is located near the railway station on the relatively peaceful side of the canal. We loved the location because we could wander the back streets and avoid the hordes of day trippers and other tourists. We also used the vaporettos to explore Lido/Murano etc If you are mainly interested in St Mark's etc the hotel may feel a little remote. The corner canal view room we had was light, airy and exceptionally well maintained. Breakfast was great. The staff were first class. Another small elevator, however it seemed very well maintained - I took the stairs anyway !
Upon checking in we were offered a choice of rooms and chose to stay in a corner bedroom on the top floor overlooking the Grand Canal which was awesome. The room was spacious clean and tidy with coffee/tea making facilities. The staff were extremely helpful and upon arrival gave us a map with ideas of places to visits and the best routes to take to the various sites. An excellent buffet breakfast was included. The hotel is situated opposite the Railway station with just one bridge to walk across with our luggage which was ideal. Would highly recommend this hotel
We stayed in this delightful hotel for 4 nights, as an 18th birthday treat for my daughter. We had two lovely canal view rooms and the view was fascinating. The location was amazing. It was an easy walk to all of the main tourist attractions and when the feet were tired, it was central for the main water boat routes. It was extremely pleasant to sit outside in the evenings to enjoy a drink and to watch the gondoliers. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending this gem of a hotel.
Fine hotel.very close to the train station which is great. Pretty far from the main tourist sights (i.e. San Marco Piazza). You can go to Murano and watch glass blowing completely free of charge through the hotel. Small hotel, small room, and small bathrooms.
Can not think of anything negative to say. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Room was excellent, comfortable and warm.
Summary
The hotel is definitely recommended for others, but it is a little remote for some. The hotel is located on the Grand Canal and opposite the Santa Lucia train station. It is in a less buys part of the city but a gentle walk to all of the tourist sights and boat routes. The rooms in the hotel have a view of the canal. The rooms are light and well maintained. The bathrooms have twin basins which is ideal for a couple. The staff at the hotel were helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast provided by the hotel was adequate. The elevator in this hotel was small but it was really well-maintained.

Summary
The hotel is great and very recommendable. It is a little bit of a distance from St Mark's but otherwise very good. The location of this hotel is great. It's within walking distance of most tourist attractions but isn't far from the railway station if it's needed. It is close to the main boat routes as well. Views of the canal from the rooms are amazing. The rooms are gorgeous and the room also had a twin basin bathroom which was a great bonus. The staff will make any visit to this hotel really memorable. Every member of staff have loads of great advice and recommendations for the local area from sight-seeing to restaurants, and even provided a map with best routes, Here at the hotel the breakfast food that's served is okay. The hotel had a small elevator but it was in good condition.

Summary
This is a gem of a hotel that is highly recommended if you want a memorable stay. It is easy enough to walk to main tourist attractions from this hotel but there are transport links that are close to the hotel should your feet get tired. Overall this is a great and lovable location. There were great views from the blue room in this hotel and it had plenty of room inside. There are gorgeous chandeliers provide a luxurious touch. The staff are very welcoming here, and are well equipped to provide guests with directions and recommendations. Very helpful at all times, and do everything they can to make each guests's stay memorable. The breakfast food at the hotel was okay. A small, yet well maintained elevator in this hotel.
Reviews
My husband surprised me with a night at the Four Seasons and dinner at nearby Quay in November 2010. It was everything you'd expect from a five-star hotel - huge bed, plush robes, gorgeous toiletries and a view to die for - it just lacked the personality you'd get from a smaller boutique hotel. The wi-fi wasn't free - which surprises me in this day and age - should you not expect it from a hotel when you're paying top dollar? We didn't spend a lot of time in the room - we enjoyed everything the Sydney Harbour foreshore had to offer - drinks, dinner, walks along the promenade. It's a good place to stay in terms of location - if you're close to Circular Quay you can get anywhere you like on buses, trains, ferries and even water taxis.
Stayed here for few nights when we went to sydney. Location - it's good if you want to be near the rocks, but very far from china town or other pubs if you are into night life. View - we paid extra for the opera house/harbour bridge view room but it was partially blocked by nearby buildings. We could hardly see the bridge. Room - it was very tiny, no slippers. Overall it was worse than the Four Seasons I'd stayed in shanghai few years ago. Overall i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, not up to standard in comparison with other Four Seasons around the world.
The room was fairly small and plain, lacking the "wow" factor we've experienced at some other Four Seasons properties. (But it was also the least expensive Four Seasons we've stayed at). The view was fantastic -the Opera House, Circular Quay, Harbour Bridge, and Rocks District. Our room package included a buffet breakfast each morning, and it was wonderful. Highly recommended. The gym is small but adequate and was never crowded when we were there. The pool area up on the roof is pretty. The service was excellent - unfailingly prompt and helpful.
I recently spent 4 nights of my honeymoon at this hotel. My first impression was this is an average hotel and not up to a four seasons standard. The rooms were too small and very bland. The pool and gym were good. The best part of this hotel is the location, and i guess that is what I paid for. There are so many other great hotels in the same vicinity that are much cheaper that I would stay in the next time i went.
I booked my reservations through Amex (Platinum card)on line with the promise of an upgraded room, breakfast and other amenities. Upon arrival I was told the booking did not count as an Amex booking (Amex logo all over the form) and I would receive nothing extra. Both Amex and the Four Seasons are quilty of a "Bait and Switch" scam
Everything was simply perfect, the staffs, the room, the location, the room (with a 52' flat screen), the mini-bar was unbelivable and not too over-priced. If I have to go again for leisure, I will defintely choose that hotel.
We loved it! Perfect location and staff. We upgraded to Executive Level- great decision! Do that if you can and have a cocktail every night looking over the harbor. Can't recommend it enough!
This hotel has a very good location, near the ferry terminal and darling harbour is a 15 minute walk, the staff and service are excellent. Really enjoyed my stay there .
Summary
This was a really enjoyable hotel to stay in and would choose it again for sure. The hotel is highly recommended.

We stayed for 3 nights in June and then 1 night in July. The location is great, walk to all major sights in Sultanahmet (e.g. Blue Mosque, Haghia Sofia, Hippodrome.) or you can just want up the street to catch the tram if you feel a little bit tired of walking. The building is very well maintained, kept the old charm but with modern amenities (e.g. there is a lift). Rooftop is a great place to have breakfast and some snacks/drinks, with great views of the Bosphorous and the surrounding neighourbood. Front desk guys are very very helpful and polite all the time. For the first stay, the room was directly opposite the lift with a sea view, it is fairly small and comfortable; for the second stay, the room was at the corner directly above the entrance side, this room is much bigger, in much better condition, and we are treated with Turkish Delights on a silver plate,placed on the bed, very very nice. The hotel slippers are very comfortable, they will last and they are not made of paper like the cheaper ones. One last thing to comment is the inconsistency sometimes we experience in the housekeeping e.g. blanket will be taken away after a night use, one room has shoe horn and sink plug and the other doesn't have both, these are just small issues, nothing to dampen our good feeling towards this hotel that we highly recommend you to stay.
The Dersaadet Hotel is an excellent hotel sitauted within walking distance of the major attractions in Sultanahmet (Old CIty). The hotel has an authentic Ottoman feel to it, the staff could not have been more helpful and all of our needs were catered for. The buffet breakfast is continental in style and served on the roof terrace which had lovely views over the Bosphorous and of the Blue Mosque. Drinks were served on the roof terrace at a reasonable price until 11pm. I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to visit Istanbul. I struggle to think of any negative points to mention.
Dersaadet offers complimentary airport pickup with I think a 3 night stay. Located by the Blue Mosque, it is more or less in the center of things as a short walk will get you to the key sites. Be prepared for the call to prayer though as this hotel is right next to loudspeakers for one, if not two, mosques. 5 times a day. And certainly loud enough.Great rooftop restaurant. View is terrific. Service was great. Be prepared for plenty of tauts - especially for rugs!
We are a family of three adults and stayed seven nights in the hotel. All that we have to say in praise of the hotel has been well said by other reviewers. They have rightly emphasized the hotel's many winning qualities: its closeness to key Istanbul sites, the pleasures of its rooftop dining area, the unstinting help of the staff, and the reasonableness of its room costs. There are innumerable hotels in Istanbul in every price range. You cannot go wrong in choosing the Dersaadet.
Dersaadet is in the old city where most of the sites are and a quick walk to all of them. The hotel is decorated in an antique style that is very quaint and charming. The bathroom is modern with excellent pressure showers. Friendly staff and breakfast on the roof is spectacular. Remember, you get 10% off if you pay for your room in cash!
Room clean and comfortable; delightful rooftop terrace with great breakfast and views of the city and sea. Ask for a room with a sea view. Close to all the historical sites. My daughter checked in early without difficulty; they arranged airport pick-up for me. We enjoyed our stay- and I would stay here again if I wanted to stay in the old city.
We stayed there for one week and loved it. Myself, my wife and one year old had an amazing room and the staff were wonderfull. They couldn't be more helpfull particularly Umit. This place is in a great location, just round the corner from the blue mosque and I can't rate it enough.
The Dersaadet is an excellent hotel which provides a great (and peaceful) refuge from the hectic Old Town. The service was exemplary and staff were always willing to go that extra mile. The breakfast was very pleasant and the room and other facilities were of a very good standard.
Summary
The hotel is a tranquil escape from the bustle of the Old Town. It is decorated in a modest and antiquated fashion. If you ask at this hotel you can get an amazing room with a sea-view. The bathroom seems updated and features a really great pressure shower. The continental-style breakfast was really good and served on the rooftop terrace. There are really great views at this hotel. Additionally found that their slippers are really comfortable and don't feel cheap.

Dersaadet is in the old city where most of the sites are and a quick walk to all of them. The hotel is decorated in an antique style that is very quaint and charming. The bathroom is modern with excellent pressure showers. Friendly staff and breakfast on the roof is spectacular. Remember, you get 10% off if you pay for your room in cash!
Room clean and comfortable; delightful rooftop terrace with great breakfast and views of the city and sea. Ask for a room with a sea view. Close to all the historical sites. My daughter checked in early without difficulty; they arranged airport pick-up for me. We enjoyed our stay- and I would stay here again if I wanted to stay in the old city.
We stayed there for one week and loved it. Myself, my wife and one year old had an amazing room and the staff were wonderfull. They couldn't be more helpfull particularly Umit. This place is in a great location, just round the corner from the blue mosque and I can't rate it enough.
The Dersaadet is an excellent hotel which provides a great (and peaceful) refuge from the hectic Old Town. The service was exemplary and staff were always willing to go that extra mile. The breakfast was very pleasant and the room and other facilities were of a very good standard.
Summary
This hotel provides a lovely and thoroughly enjoyable stay. The rooms in the hotel are comfortable and some rooms can have a sea view. The bathroom was modern with a great pressure shower. The continental breakfast served on the roof is delicious. Drinks are a good price and served until 11pm on the roof terrace. The slippers provided by the hotel are long-lasting and very comfortable.

We stayed for 3 nights in June and then 1 night in July. The location is great, walk to all major sights in Sultanahmet (e.g. Blue Mosque, Haghia Sofia, Hippodrome.) or you can just want up the street to catch the tram if you feel a little bit tired of walking. The building is very well maintained, kept the old charm but with modern amenities (e.g. there is a lift). Rooftop is a great place to have breakfast and some snacks/drinks, with great views of the Bosphorous and the surrounding neighourbood. Front desk guys are very very helpful and polite all the time. For the first stay, the room was directly opposite the lift with a sea view, it is fairly small and comfortable; for the second stay, the room was at the corner directly above the entrance side, this room is much bigger, in much better condition, and we are treated with Turkish Delights on a silver plate,placed on the bed, very very nice. The hotel slippers are very comfortable, they will last and they are not made of paper like the cheaper ones. One last thing to comment is the inconsistency sometimes we experience in the housekeeping e.g. blanket will be taken away after a night use, one room has shoe horn and sink plug and the other doesn't have both, these are just small issues, nothing to dampen our good feeling towards this hotel that we highly recommend you to stay.
The Dersaadet Hotel is an excellent hotel sitauted within walking distance of the major attractions in Sultanahmet (Old CIty). The hotel has an authentic Ottoman feel to it, the staff could not have been more helpful and all of our needs were catered for. The buffet breakfast is continental in style and served on the roof terrace which had lovely views over the Bosphorous and of the Blue Mosque. Drinks were served on the roof terrace at a reasonable price until 11pm. I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to visit Istanbul. I struggle to think of any negative points to mention.
Dersaadet offers complimentary airport pickup with I think a 3 night stay. Located by the Blue Mosque, it is more or less in the center of things as a short walk will get you to the key sites. Be prepared for the call to prayer though as this hotel is right next to loudspeakers for one, if not two, mosques. 5 times a day. And certainly loud enough.Great rooftop restaurant. View is terrific. Service was great. Be prepared for plenty of tauts - especially for rugs!
We are a family of three adults and stayed seven nights in the hotel. All that we have to say in praise of the hotel has been well said by other reviewers. They have rightly emphasized the hotel's many winning qualities: its closeness to key Istanbul sites, the pleasures of its rooftop dining area, the unstinting help of the staff, and the reasonableness of its room costs.

Summary
This excellent hotel with the antique style decor is full of charm. Very enjoyable. The location is next to loudspeakers of multiple mosques. The rooms were clean and some offered views of the sea. They were comfortable for adults and young children and had a modern bathroom with great water pressure. Breakfast is a nice buffet continental style meal and drinks are available on the roof terrace until 11pm. The room came with really nice slippers.

Stayed at Hotel Basileus for 7 nights in early November during our first visit to Istanbul. A fairly priced, clean, and well maintained three story property with good size rooms. No restaurant (has breakfast room with good food) or elevator, but well worth the money. Located near all the major sights in Sultanhamet. A 10 minute uphill walk to the, Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, Basilica Cistern, a small bazaar, tramway, ATMs and money exchanges. A 15-20 minute walk to Grand Bazaar and main shopping streets. Many restaurants within a 5-20 minute walk include Seven Hills (fish restaurant with rooftop dining and outstanding views), Armada (good views of Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, and the Bosphorus), Sokullu (warm, cozy neighborhood place), Amedros (outdoor dining, Turkish cuisine), and Cesme (a refuge across street from hotel). A 20 minute taxi ride to Chora church and Asitane restaurant (both well worth the ride) , Spice Bazaar and other sights. Staff is terrific. All speak excellent English and everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
We visited istanbul from greece, with a couple of friends for four days. What makes this hotel really special, is the staff. They make you feel very welcome because they are very friendly, but not in a weird or uncomfortable way. We are greatfu fot their help in planning our days in the vast city of istanbul. Also the breakfast was a nice surprise, because it was plentyful in a cosy environment. Personally, I found the beds very helpful, because you could tell they were the expensive and anatomic kind that bend only around your body and not in half. resting is very important in istanbul. mark my words. Finally, it was brand new and really clean.
we spent 4 days at the Basileus, Yusef greeted us as if he had known us for a long time. He showed us where we would see the sights and some great places to walk, any questions we had he would answer or find out the answer. the breakfast was gigantic and tasty, we enjoyed it every morning, Great location, just 10 minutes from the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque etc. and the Tram was there too. Very safe area. The owners and staff were always there to chat, they enjoyed their guests as much as we enjoyed them.
The Basileus Hotel is a well-maintained compact hotel located within easy 10-minute walk of major visitor sites; Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Haghia Sophia, etc. If you stay three nights, free airport pickup is included. The hotel staff provides the very best personalized service and will eagerly point out visiting options and restaurants. Lobby has public computer available for internet use.
This is a lovely little family run hotel that is neat, simple and clean. Ekhrim and his family are gently welcoming and will give advice, book tickets. You couldn't ask for more. In time, they may finish their roof terrace which will make it even better.
I had an awesome experience in Basileus hotel. the room, staff, food everything there is top notch, i would always stay in this hotel whenever I visit Istanbul again, InshaAllah. I would recommend all to make their stay in this hotel during their visit in Istanbul.
Good place, good price, clearn, very friendly and helpful staff. Close to lots of things, would highly recommend this as a hotel for a couple or for business.
Incredible staff, couldn't have asked for more. A perfect hotel in a great location. Worth every penny.
Summary
The hotel is simplistic and clean and a quaint family run establishment in Istanbul. The rooms were a good size with comfortable beds that were not cheap. The staff spoke excellent English. The hotel provided a varied selection at breakfast amidst a lovely atmosphere. Once the roof terrace work is finished on the hotel it will be even better.

Summary
This hotel presented itself as brand new, excellently clean and is a lovely family-run affair. It is definitely recommended on any visit here. There are a selection of restaurants within walking distance and a short taxi ride away from the Chora church, Spice Bazaar etc. The rooms at this hotel are well-sized and always clean. The beds are expensive and really comfortable. Despite not having an actual restaurant the hotel provides a breakfast that's really diverse and full. There will be a roof terrace to this hotel that will make the hotel itself even better than it already is.

A simple, family run hotel that offers brand new facilities and is well maintained to a very high standard. There are many restaurants to choose from as well. Rooms were particularly spacious and you can tell they are well maintained and cleaned regularly. All staff speak excellent English and are always there for a conversation. The hotel does not have a restaurant but does have a cozy breakfast room with plenty of good food. A new roof terrace is soon to be available at this hotel, providing guests with a beautiful area to rest during their stay.

Great taste and consistency. You MUST stop here. Perfect size of small bowl, efficient checkout, owners are smart, generous with tastings, enthusiastic about their craft. Wish we had one in Nashville...... in my Street.... in my House.
Best gelato, so creamy and full of flavor! The cheesecake gelato tastes like actual cheesecake! And you can sample every flavor if you want! The creamy cookie is also delicious! A perfect treat for a hot Arizona day! I can't wait to come back!
Yes! Real, creamy, flavorful gelato. The best I've had. I had peanut butter with a little scoop of banana recommended by the owner. My husband had champagne with a little chocolate. This will be our new place. Goodbye Gelato Spot.
The best Gelato! I always go with my family and recommend my clients here. The shop is super cute inside and the owners are so nice and welcoming All the time. You can try samples which makes it hard cause they are all so good! Highly recommended!!
My 9 year old son and I tried Pussycat Gelato for the 1st time. The gelato was amazing and we would return from ahwatukee again. The partners who own the shop were generous in telling us all about the gelato and providing numerous samples. When my 9 year old couldn't decide what flavor, the owner allowed him to have 4 flavors in his cup.
This place was fantastic! The flavors were both fresh and intense. The young man that waited on us was so pleasant and friendly. I eat ice cream every single day and I can honestly tell you that this is the best ice cream / gelato / yogurt total experience I have ever had. Don't miss a visit here.
The name caught our eye and the posters on the wall. Hahaha. The guys working were so friendly! And their gelato is delicious and they had some unique flavors. I ended up with the espresso toffee dream and the double chocolate. It was sooooo good! Esp the espresso toffee! It was so flavorful yet not overpowering. Prices are reasonable too!
Sensational out of this world, Frederick is the most gracious host you will ever find. As for his hand crafted Gelato hands down better than Italy or any other countries I have visited!, I wish I lived her I would move in
Summary
Pussycat Gelato is popular for its well known, creamy and flavorful gelato which always exceed expectations. There are various exciting flavors and customers are allowed to try samples before choosing. Staff and management are remarkably pleasant and enthusiastic about their craft. Overall highly recommended.

I agree with many of the other reviews! Harkins has great customer service, I love the loyalty cup.This location is nice, good parking, chairs and everything still comfortable. Great popcorn, they have Dr. Pepper (my fave).
Godzilla was awesome, this Harkins Theaters was very busy, more than normal or maybe because its the weekend. Either way we enjoyed our movie and the staffs are friendly and theater was very clean and well taken care of. No trash on the floor and everything was just great.
Like I mentioned before.... Very clean well kept place. Went back and they made my salt free popcorn with a smile and no hair! Managers contacted me and made sure to ask employees to pull hair back. Definitely the cleanest theater in town.
Love this theatre it's ALWAYS clean and is never packed. Unlike Harkins Gateway on 99th Ave and McDowell which always is over crowded with people. Great places to shop and eat after or before a movie. I would recommend this theatre to anybody.
Happy to be a Harkins customer. Prices for concessions are steep but that is somewhat expected. I like that they give you a free popcorn if you buy a $25 gift card. Use the gift card to pay for tickets and other goodies. Upgrade to a large popcorn and save the bag for next time. Nice way to get more for your dollar.
I love this movie. Clean. Friendly. Management is always on their employees about customer service. They are a bit pricey but worth it. I always go an hour early because the theatre gets busy quick. Love the shopping and food around it. Always clean and on time. Awesome experience
Love it here there's always plenty of room Harkins Theatres and lots of things to do in this little shopping plaza, there's lots of good food a lots of good shopping around here all the family and kids living around here it's nice
Harkins is an amazing company. They offer the best perks! But this location has Jozie, GODDAMNIT.... This woman is smoking hot with that amazing red hair.Even with the old style seats i'm coming here just to catch a glimpse.
Summary
The theater is clean and the workers are always friendly. It gets a bit busy at times but is well taken care of. The parking lot has plenty of space and the theater seats are nice and cozy. Can be a bit pricey but there are some good deals on offer. Overall a quality theater experience.
Reviews
My husband surprised me with a night at the Four Seasons and dinner at nearby Quay in November 2010. It was everything you'd expect from a five-star hotel - huge bed, plush robes, gorgeous toiletries and a view to die for - it just lacked the personality you'd get from a smaller boutique hotel. The wi-fi wasn't free - which surprises me in this day and age - should you not expect it from a hotel when you're paying top dollar? We didn't spend a lot of time in the room - we enjoyed everything the Sydney Harbour foreshore had to offer - drinks, dinner, walks along the promenade. It's a good place to stay in terms of location - if you're close to Circular Quay you can get anywhere you like on buses, trains, ferries and even water taxis.
Stayed here for few nights when we went to sydney. Location - it's good if you want to be near the rocks, but very far from china town or other pubs if you are into night life. View - we paid extra for the opera house/harbour bridge view room but it was partially blocked by nearby buildings. We could hardly see the bridge. Room - it was very tiny, no slippers. Overall it was worse than the Four Seasons I'd stayed in shanghai few years ago. Overall i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, not up to standard in comparison with other Four Seasons around the world.
The room was fairly small and plain, lacking the "wow" factor we've experienced at some other Four Seasons properties. (But it was also the least expensive Four Seasons we've stayed at). The view was fantastic -the Opera House, Circular Quay, Harbour Bridge, and Rocks District. Our room package included a buffet breakfast each morning, and it was wonderful. Highly recommended. The gym is small but adequate and was never crowded when we were there. The pool area up on the roof is pretty. The service was excellent - unfailingly prompt and helpful.
I recently spent 4 nights of my honeymoon at this hotel. My first impression was this is an average hotel and not up to a four seasons standard. The rooms were too small and very bland. The pool and gym were good. The best part of this hotel is the location, and i guess that is what I paid for. There are so many other great hotels in the same vicinity that are much cheaper that I would stay in the next time i went.
I booked my reservations through Amex (Platinum card)on line with the promise of an upgraded room, breakfast and other amenities. Upon arrival I was told the booking did not count as an Amex booking (Amex logo all over the form) and I would receive nothing extra. Both Amex and the Four Seasons are quilty of a "Bait and Switch" scam
Everything was simply perfect, the staffs, the room, the location, the room (with a 52' flat screen), the mini-bar was unbelivable and not too over-priced. If I have to go again for leisure, I will defintely choose that hotel.
We loved it! Perfect location and staff. We upgraded to Executive Level- great decision! Do that if you can and have a cocktail every night looking over the harbor. Can't recommend it enough!
This hotel has a very good location, near the ferry terminal and darling harbour is a 15 minute walk, the staff and service are excellent. Really enjoyed my stay there .
Summary
Overall an enjoyable stay. This is a very recommended hotel.

Came here at 11: 30 am first, I just couldn't handle the smell. And asked to use the grill for all you can eat. Apparently they don't do all you can eat around that time. I'm disappointed
Never coming back to this restaurant again! The staff is very unprofessional and disrespectful. My husband found a hair in his food and the manager didn't want to re-make his order nor give him a refund. Stay away from this restaurant!
Service is slow, have to ask for refills or slurp your straw. Daeji bulgogi, short ribs, and bulgogi are as good as any other KBBQ. Kim chi Chigae and Dumpling Tofu soup not good, the flavor is just not right. Side dishes are average. Takamatsu was way better. No kimbap. Probably won't be back.
This place is pretty good. There are not a lot of Korean BBQ spots in Arizona that actually have grills. We sat in a nice booth and the table had a grill. The side dishes are not as good as other places. The meats were delicious. Overall we enjoyed this place and will be going back.
My first time to this place and it was so delicious. The Siracha Honey Pork Shoulder was our absolute favorite! Such unique food and a unique experience. We are stuffed! The prices are super reasonable and the flavor is superb. We will definitely be back.
This will become the newest hottest spot in the east valley! Food is amazing, ambiance is very nice, workers are so pleasant, very nice hangout place! Come and try their bbq or try their restaurant menu. You won't be disappointed!
Never coming back to this place because we waited for 1 hour for food only to tell us that our order was never in! Lol. This place is such a joke and always will be. Horrible service. We will be telling our friends and family not to come here!
Great service! I liked it when it was Takamatsu, but now they are Arirang, all the ban chan were fresher, the server took the time to get to know us, and unlike the last few visits when it was still Takamatsu, they weren't out of a single item we ordered! LOVE the new owners.
Summary
An absolute favorite is Siracha Honey Pork Shoulder. Such a unique food and experience. Super reasonable prices and superb flavor. This will turn out to be the latest hottest spot in east valley. Ambiance is so nice, workers are pleasant and a very cool hangout place. The service is great.

Summary
Average Korean BBQ spot. Service is generally poor, prices are fair, food is just decent and sometimes below average. Staff is nice and friendly but management and customer satisfaction practices are unsatisfactory. Overall not a recommended place.
Reviews
Awesome place. The bar is sleak and clean, the staff is friendly, the draft beer selection is glorious, their craft cocktails are delicious, and hell they even have good food. Awesome spot, not the cheapest, but you definitely pay for the atmosphere, the taste, and the generosity. Highly recommend you check it out!
What a great new beer and wine bar! We stopped in for happy hour on Friday and really enjoyed it - laid back vibe, super friendly service, and an extensive list of beer and wine selections. I thoroughly enjoyed my Portuguese white wine on tap... thanks for the great recommendation! Next time we'll bring our dog to enjoy the dog friendly patio.
Great food, great drinks (try the Sake Bloody Mary!) and wonderful staff! The steak and fries are the most tender and taste like a $60 steak. Also has beautiful burning man art on the wall. I will definitely come back!
Was recommended to this place by a friend. I was immediately impressed by the depth and breadth of the drink selection. Then the food came out... I was blown away!! It was incredible! I definitely recommend this place to anyone participating in exploring local restaurants and finding out the hidden gems that are right around the corner.
Fantastic vibe, perfected menu of items you'll recognize but completely reimagined to be just better, and a wine selection that even your up-tight friends will appreciate, in a laid back, inclusive, industrial-chic space that is dog- friendly! Try it. Seriously, try it- the neighborhood is completely turned around.
Recently moved nearby, and was so happy I stopped in! Great beer selection that rotates often, so make sure you buy a growler to go if you love what you're drinking, chances are others are loving it too! Sliders are bombbbb
Im new to the area to I went to this place to eat tonight, no one welcomed me I had to ask for a menu and a seat. I was never asked if I wanted anything to drink nor was I asked anything so I left. I would not recommend this place if you want any good service.
Super cute! It has a stainless steal look / appearance to it. Small location, tucked away in a mini business strip. Parking can be a challenge as it is in a small plaza, although I have not encountered not being able to find a parking spot. It has a neighborhood feel to it, with friendly staff.
Summary
It is located in a small plaza and parking can be challenging. There is a neighborhood feel to it and the staffs are friendly. The food and drinks are great. Great wine bar and new beer. The fries and steak are the most tender and the taste is amazing, but the price is not the cheapest.

Summary
This industrial designed restaurant is known for offering a wide selection of great alcoholic drinks. There is a chill, neighborly ambiance, especially with the fact that there is a dog-friendly patio. While not cheap, the food taste like higher price food.

Tim and Tami always always always have the best customer service and do the best nails. I will NEVER go anywhere else. Even after weeks my nails look and feel as good as they did when I first got them done! I'm so dedicated I recommend and bring in all my friends!
Definitely my new nail salon! Everyone is so friendly and kind, I felt so welcomed! B did an amazing job on my nails. He made sure everything was perfect and happily changed something to make me happy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants A + work at a totally affordable price. Love it!!:)
Amazing service and nails. This is the second time I have been here, they did a perfect job again. They get it done fast yet with precision. Everyone is so friendly there too. Best nail salon I have ever been too. I'm glad I found it.
I really enjoy coming here to get my nails done. They do a wonderful job on both pedis and nails. It is nice and clean inside. They are very friendly and welcoming. It is worth it to stop in and try it out.
My first set of acrylics ever... I decided 27 years was a lot enough time to wait, and I'm SO happy with them. I'm not a huge nail person, and was glad to stumble upon this salon. My nail tech was quiet, clean, and very detail-oriented. Very pleased with my experience here and I recommend this place.
I called to make an appointment for later today for 3 adults and 2 kids and the man who answered the phone said 'we only have 2 techs today' we can't do that. Poor customer service and I never even went in.
Golden Nails has been my nail place for almost a year so it was surprising to see new management. However B did an AMAZING job on my coffin chrome nails and Nancy was extremely helpful figuring out how I wanted my nails done too. Definitely excited to keep coming back!
Seriously the best service I have ever gotten at a Tempe nail salon!! I walked in and they helped me right away. Nancy helped me pick the perfect color and was very honest and up front about everything! I wanted something very natural and using the dip method, I love my nails!!
Summary
This nail salon is one of the best in the area. The service is excellent. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Their work is also excellent, with great attention to detail. Overall, this is a highly recommended nail salon.

Reviews
My husband surprised me with a night at the Four Seasons and dinner at nearby Quay in November 2010. It was everything you'd expect from a five-star hotel - huge bed, plush robes, gorgeous toiletries and a view to die for - it just lacked the personality you'd get from a smaller boutique hotel. The wi-fi wasn't free - which surprises me in this day and age - should you not expect it from a hotel when you're paying top dollar? We didn't spend a lot of time in the room - we enjoyed everything the Sydney Harbour foreshore had to offer - drinks, dinner, walks along the promenade. It's a good place to stay in terms of location - if you're close to Circular Quay you can get anywhere you like on buses, trains, ferries and even water taxis.
Stayed here for few nights when we went to sydney. Location - it's good if you want to be near the rocks, but very far from china town or other pubs if you are into night life. View - we paid extra for the opera house/harbour bridge view room but it was partially blocked by nearby buildings. We could hardly see the bridge. Room - it was very tiny, no slippers. Overall it was worse than the Four Seasons I'd stayed in shanghai few years ago. Overall i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, not up to standard in comparison with other Four Seasons around the world.
The room was fairly small and plain, lacking the "wow" factor we've experienced at some other Four Seasons properties. (But it was also the least expensive Four Seasons we've stayed at). The view was fantastic -the Opera House, Circular Quay, Harbour Bridge, and Rocks District. Our room package included a buffet breakfast each morning, and it was wonderful. Highly recommended. The gym is small but adequate and was never crowded when we were there. The pool area up on the roof is pretty. The service was excellent - unfailingly prompt and helpful.
I recently spent 4 nights of my honeymoon at this hotel. My first impression was this is an average hotel and not up to a four seasons standard. The rooms were too small and very bland. The pool and gym were good. The best part of this hotel is the location, and i guess that is what I paid for. There are so many other great hotels in the same vicinity that are much cheaper that I would stay in the next time i went.
I booked my reservations through Amex (Platinum card)on line with the promise of an upgraded room, breakfast and other amenities. Upon arrival I was told the booking did not count as an Amex booking (Amex logo all over the form) and I would receive nothing extra. Both Amex and the Four Seasons are quilty of a "Bait and Switch" scam
Everything was simply perfect, the staffs, the room, the location, the room (with a 52' flat screen), the mini-bar was unbelivable and not too over-priced. If I have to go again for leisure, I will defintely choose that hotel.
We loved it! Perfect location and staff. We upgraded to Executive Level- great decision! Do that if you can and have a cocktail every night looking over the harbor. Can't recommend it enough!
This hotel has a very good location, near the ferry terminal and darling harbour is a 15 minute walk, the staff and service are excellent. Really enjoyed my stay there .
Summary
It is worth it for the enjoyable stay. This hotel is highly recommended.

This location caters to drive-thru. Came in to dine-in and they served 12 vehicles while we waited for 2 kids meal and 1 half sandwich. Ended up having to go back up and tell them we needed to change it to go. Spent 20 minutes inside just to come out with a bag of food to eat in the car.
This place is awesome! They have added breakfast and a Freestyle Coke Machine! There are so many choices and things to try. I love the drive thru and the inside is very comfortable and clean. You can tell that the place has been around awhile but the workers take pride in what they do. Delicious! Must try!
0820 in the am, the sign open wasn't on the mgr didn't even know, the inside was dirty, the soda machine disgusting, the countertops dirty, the floor dirty, the counter where you pick up food had crumbs all over it, this place needs the health department stat! Never going back!
I decided to have a sandwich and was craving the chewy bread from Schlotzsky. So I walked in and got the Turkey Bacon Club on sourdough. It was very good. Got the original chips and an ice tea. The store was clean, nice, and has a lot of seating areas. The staff was very friendly and nice.
Nasty, rude employees. The bathrooms are horrible. They always close early: went to drive through 20; minutes before closing, and they ignored me. I called, and a girl told me they were closed. Not the first time this has happened.
Giving this a 2 star. Just left this location and we waited over 20 min for 2 kids pizza and a turkey sandwhich. The store was not busy and no one told us what was taking so long. When we got our food, there was not even a sorry about the wait. Very disappointed in this trip
Fourty five minutes for two sandwiches come on.... Staff properly. The new girl at the registrar screwed up the order twice, then we sat 45 minutes for two sandwiches along with the rest of the place of starving people. Will never come back! They say they cater it would be scary to see how long they would take to get it to my office!
I'm truly thankful I work down the street! I love their sandwiches... their reuben is a great 'getting to know reuben' type of sandwich. The saurkraut is good, not too tangy for a novice reuben connisseur like me. & They Serve Cinnabon Inside.
Summary
The food is of a high quality but the service is horrible. The food takes to long to come out and there is evidence of a lack of cleaning of by the staff. Would recommend getting a health inspector to check over this location before attempting to eat at this location.

Wait times for food can sometimes be long. The inside cleanliness can be lacking at times. Employees can be unreliable and understaffed. The food is great when finally served after the wait times. Overall, is a good restaurant but quality of service can be rather risky depending on the day.
Reviews
Have gone here for over ten years. Great customers and good food. However, constant changes in managers (seven in the last three years) barrtenders, and waitresses have convinced me to take my business elsewhere. Unfortunately, replacing the old with the new doesn't always work.
Wings were amazing. Only issue is I went there to watch the AFC Championship game and the volume being down took away from the environment. But I never checked to see if they could raise the volume so I won't take away from them.
Best local bar. Everyday there is a special and Friday if u are creative you could get a free lunch. Fish is yummy. Salads are fresh. Terri is so fun. No bad days here. Like Stacy. She is a hard worker and very friendly. Consider this 'our place'. Closed. Sad but true
Been here a few times.. service is good, food is ok, but its the surroundings are interesting. Always smells funky in there.. like bratwurst and an sweatsock. Despite this i would return to watch a game or do some off track betting.
Service is 'OK'. Last time we went in we ordered chicken wings. When we got them they were undercooked. Yes, we should have said something but we were so grossed out and weren't having the best service experience so we just paid our bill and went on our way.
If I'm looking for a group of frowny faces from the staff, I know where to go. The bartender was rude and seemed to pay more attention to the people she knew and did more standing around then anything. Safe to say I won't be returning
Yay!!!! It's good to walk into this place and see a familiar faces!! The other bar tenders suck! But Megan is the best!!!! She is friendly and knows her shit. Un like the other rude nasty bitches working here!!!
I love this spot. Been coming in for years. They serve their beer in frozen glass and it's always cold & delicious. I also love their Wing Wednesday deal. 79 cent wings and they have @ 6 flavors. Plus they give you choice of fried or grilled. Awesome!

A bar that has been a mainstay in the area for many years. Unfortunately, things have changed for the worse. The staff, barring a few servers, come across as rude. The manager has changed and so has the restaurant. There is now a smell and the food is hit or miss.

Have gone here for over ten years. Great customers and good food. However, constant changes in managers (seven in the last three years) barrtenders, and waitresses have convinced me to take my business elsewhere. Unfortunately, replacing the old with the new doesn't always work.
Wings were amazing. Only issue is I went there to watch the AFC Championship game and the volume being down took away from the environment. But I never checked to see if they could raise the volume so I won't take away from them.
Best local bar. Everyday there is a special and Friday if u are creative you could get a free lunch. Fish is yummy. Salads are fresh. Terri is so fun. No bad days here. Like Stacy. She is a hard worker and very friendly. Consider this 'our place'. Closed. Sad but true
Been here a few times.. service is good, food is ok, but its the surroundings are interesting. Always smells funky in there.. like bratwurst and an sweatsock. Despite this i would return to watch a game or do some off track betting.
Service is 'OK'. Last time we went in we ordered chicken wings. When we got them they were undercooked. Yes, we should have said something but we were so grossed out and weren't having the best service experience so we just paid our bill and went on our way.
If I'm looking for a group of frowny faces from the staff, I know where to go. The bartender was rude and seemed to pay more attention to the people she knew and did more standing around then anything. Safe to say I won't be returning
Yay!!!! It's good to walk into this place and see a familiar faces!! The other bar tenders suck! But Megan is the best!!!! She is friendly and knows her shit. Un like the other rude nasty bitches working here!!!

Summary
Service is decent but at times seems selective and the turnover rate for workers is high. The environment is engaging with a particular smell and TV's around to watch sports games. Food is decent yet non-noteworthy with plenty of worthwhile affordable deals.

I didn't get the sushi but the 3 other people I was with said it was some of the best they've ever had. I had the garlic stir fry with tofu and brown rice and it was very good. They even got it right when I asked for no mushrooms or water chestnuts.
THE BEST Asian Bistro in all of Charlotte!!!! LOVE this place! I have been here more then any other restaurant in the 8 years I've been living here and it is always consistent. Great food, great service and great atmosphere!
As a sushi connoisseur, I believe Jade serves some of the best sushi in Charlotte. It is fresh and has exceptional flavor--however, it is also a tad pricey. Even still, the cost is worth it, as their cherry blossom rolls are to die for.
It's a good thing the food is good, because the service sucks. If you go for lunch and only have an hour, ask for your check as soon as you get your food... might make it out within an hour.
BEST SUSHI IN CLT PEOPLE! Jade is located in the Ballantyne area of South Charlotte. If you are looking for sushi that is fresh with many unique options this is the spot! They have everything from Pad Thai to Vietnamese, to fresh fish! My favorite is really the sushi, such great food... a must when you are in Charlotte!
We went here on a nice night for dinner so we were able to sit outside, which was nice.The food was excellent. We ordered three types of rolls and they were all delicious. They have a good menu of both regular rolls and specialty ones which is nice. They have a good location and I will definitely be back:)
I love going to Jade for a evening dinner. When the weather is beautiful and you can sit on there patio and enjoy the comings and goings of the people below. It's always a excellent experience! The food is delicious, ambience is perfect for sipping a martini and enjoying good conversation. The sushi menu is long and comes out fresh.
Top notch Restaurant Great ServiceGreat foodVery clean, more up scale. Not cheapBut Great.Will definitely come back (maybe tomorrow) We have had Sushi all over Charlotta and nothing compares to Jade. They waiters are tops.There food is so fresh. They dishes are so original.Great Job Jade.....
Summary
In Charlotte, this is the best Asian Bistro. Great food, service and atmosphere. The food is very delicious and the ambiance is perfect. The sushi is fresh with an exceptional flavor. The tofu with garlic stir fry and brown rice was amazing. The location is perfect, waiters are tops and the dishes original.

This has a nice variety of sushi and everything is served fresh. The Asian food is delicious and upscale so it can be pricey. There is also outdoor patio seating which provides a great atmosphere. The service is great, but it can be slow. This is the best sushi in Charlotte.

Summary
Jade has excellent customer service and serves high end sushi rolls, made fresh, with other menu options. The location is great with an outside patio where customers can sit and enjoy the ambiance. The price tag is heavy but the benefits from the food and service leaves it as a place to recommend.
Reviews
Wow! What a beautiful hotel this is. No attention to detail has been spared in its decor, the staff are professional and friendly and the whole place exudes class and style. We were in a 'discovery room' decked out with flock wallpaper, beautiful yellow drapes and lovely large bath. Even though the decor was dramatic, the room was very easy to relax in and had all the mod cons needed to do so. The room came with a flat screen tv, ipod dock, safe, minibar and fluffy bathrobes. All in all a prefect romantic weekend hotel. It's in a great part of town - right behind the Musee D'Orsay (and its railway station) and surrounded by many great restaurants and pattiseries.
I stayed at Hotel le Bellechasse during the second half of my trip to Paris in October 2009. I absolutely loved being steps away from the D'Orsay and the Seine. The Christian Lacroix designs were probably too haute couture for my tastes but the bed was comfortable, sheets were luxe, and the room was spacious enough. Loved having a bath tub but one should note that the shower head is a hand held. I had breakfast twice and both times, I was the only one dining in the breakfast room. If you plan on visiting the D'Orsay (which you should), be sure to secure your ticket at the front desk. The hotel ticket allows you to skip the line.
Excellent hotel for a short stay (2-4 nights). Great spot, great value for money, very stylish. Advice: If you ring them they will give you the room you want, some are a little 'too' stylish than others. The one with the pink stripes at the front of the building was excellent. Downfall: Room was a tad small, but made up for it in covenience and charm. I wouldn't let that put you off for a short stay.
I love the work of the french designer Christian Lacroix, each room is different, full of warm colors, specially the red ones. The hotel is situated just near the Musee d'Orsay and few minutes walk from Saint Germain area. I can recommend it for business stay or for lovers, the staff is very helpfull and friendly for giving advices or nice places to visit in Paris. Try to take at least once, the breakfast, generous and full of organic products.
This hotel is being advertised as "entirely decorated by the famous designer Christian Lacroix". except bizarre wallpapers I really don't know why this hotel would be named "chic and trendy". It's absolutely overpriced, with small rooms and cheep bathrooms. Except excellent location this hotel doesn't have anything to brag about. Reviews and photos online can be absolutely misleading.
Very disapointed in our stay here This hotel is looking tired inside and is in need of a revamp Bathroom fitout is inadequate and rally surprised how this can get a 4 star rating in current condition Only thing going for this place is its location Suggest look around elsewhere , have stayed in far better hotels in Paris for much better rate
Lovely rooms, clean, friendly and helpful service. Location was perfect and close to a metro too. Great value, especially in Paris! Will stay here again.
An excellent location near Le Pont Neuf, the staff's attitude was caring. Highly recommended.
Summary
The hotel is in a great location, close to the metro and highly recommended. The staff were friendly too.
Reviews
nice place for a good teppanyaki dinner. and pretty reasonably priced considering it's right in the heart of yorkville! It's my go-to whenever I'm in the mood for a no fuss yorkville meal. Their sushi rolls are pretty good too. This place gets really busy on weekends and during festival season so make sure you have a reservation!
Came for lunch, the Teppenyaki was very good, the chef was fun and entertaining. The prices were incredibly reasonable. I didn't have sushi, but others did and said it was fantastic as well. Would come back for sure.
One of my favourite things about. Yamato is that it has a patio! The service is friendly and professional and the food is fresh and delicious. I had the $35 sashimi platter; it was generous and really high quality.
I've always loved Yamato. I haven't been in a very long time but as I recall, excellent service and the sashimi is always served at the perfect temperature, (I consider this a very important factor with sashimi, as one should)!
The quality of food was average. I've had better sushi at Moto sushi (at Yonge and Sheppard). The waitresses were pretentious and snoopy.When it comes to sushi, there are NO lunch specials. At all.The cheapest roll is $7 California roll, of average taste.I would not go to this place again.
Sushi was of low-quality. The type you expect to get in the prepackaged food section of your local grocery store. Was expecting much better. Servers literally reach all the way over the table to grab your water glass. Plenty of better options in the area. Will not be going back to this place.
I had the grilled vegetable teppanyaki, and I thought it was OK, nothing particularly special. The service was excellent though -- the waitresses were very stealthy (you barely noticed them clearing your table, etc), the atmosphere is very quiet and calm, and the decor is nice. Good for groups!
I had the ribeye steak combo medium rare. It was so soft and buttery and just so good!! The server was so nice and it was just a good time! got there around 2 during the lunch hours and there was no wait time. Very good food! Very entertaining show!
Summary
This restaurant provides average quality food for reasonable prices considering the location. The teppenyaki is an especially popular choice. The atmosphere is generally calm, the decor is pleasant and patio seating is available. The service itself has mixed reviews.

Pretty sure if you've been to one little Caesars pizza you been to them all I have no complaints about this store every time I order I'm in and out quick. They always have my hot and ready pizzas ready so I'm a happy guy lol
This location is a joke even 3 years later since i wrote my first review, sign says hot and ready between 4-8, blatant lies. Just went at 510 today and nope 15-25 minutes. Managers here don't care. Why should they of the owners don't do shit about it.
Just spent the last 30 minutes trying to get through on the phone line... it just kept ringing every time I tried. Not wasting my time anymore. Papa Johns actually answers their phone and they are right across the street... Save your self some time and aggravation... just take your money elsewhere...
This location is a hit or miss, especially with the employees. Since when was a pepperoni pizza with cheese and sauce custom made? I got charged an extra $1 for a custom made pizza when I only ordered a pepperoni deep dish. Plus the crust is so hard it taste like it's been sitting for a few hours..
Though they advertise hot and ready from 4-8, they never seem to be prepared. I have to wait 10-15 minutes to get our pizza. Frustrating!!! Atheist they could say thank you for my patience, but nope. Sit and wait...
Biggest bunch of jerks at this store. I called ahead for a supreme pizza. I gave them my name and even spelled it for them. The little bitch behind the counter was rude. Didn't have my name and didn't give a shit either. Fucking hoodlums work at this store. Go to Hungry Howies.
0 stars if I could. We tried twice and both times were the pits. Worst pizza hands down. First pie was square and NO sauce. Dough was bland. Second time we got a $5 cheese pie for kids and again.. No sauce there were numerous air bubbles and little cheese. Just horrible. Never again.
I would hope the owner reads these reviews. He / she needs to find a real manager somebody who can whip this location into shape. I have never been there when they have pizza actually ready for customers that are there. They are always behind, and they have very poor customer service skills.
Summary
This location is frustrating to deal with and rarely has pizzas hot and read between 4 - 8 pm, as advertised. They have very poor customer service and it's difficult to get through on the phone at times. Sometimes, the pizzas don't taste great, needing more sauce and cheese. Overall, not recommended.

Summary
This Little Caesars has a big problem with making pizza on time. Wait times on average 15 minutes after placing an order. Calling ahead of time is fruitless as the phone doesn't get answered. The employees don't care and can be rude. Pizza isn't poor and not worth it. Very poor management has led to poor customer service.

For this location of Little Ceasers good customer service is virtually non-existent with both the employees and managers. There is never any food hot and ready for direct take out as advertised by the company and the pizzas, when served, are very poorly made.
Reviews
The service at the door was poor. Whoever the door girl is?... get a new one. Shes like the teacher on ferris buller. Server was on point Angel was his name. Above and beyond. Food was not worth the price for sure.
I have been here 20 times and the staff from greater, wait staff, bartenders, managers Have been excellent busy slow always the same great service. Have had orders not made to my request and instantly fixed, mangers always come by asking how everything is. The food is excellent
It's Olive Garden and it's in Surprise, so it's always busy. I've always had decent service and good tasting food. If I have my choice, I'm always going to choose a less chain place, but it's not bad in a pinch.
I'm currently eating a Olive Garden and I can honestly say Trevor, our waiter, is wonderful! He has been making sure that our drinks are full and that everything is tasting great! Definitely coming back because of him! Keep up the great work Trevor!!!!
This location is busy. I was happy with the prompt service and good food. I have visited the other locations in the past 75th McDowell and Estrella parkway and McDowell and this location is by far the the friendliest. Next time I feel like soup and salad without ghetto or cold treatment I will definitely stop at this location.
The host, our waitress and the food were all great! Though they sat us in the back where there was an uncomfortable smell, I usually come here and never have that problem so I'll come back again but yeah, my overall experience was good and i love the soups, the salads and the fettuccine!
I, like I'm sure every other American, love Olive Garden. I haven't experienced anything different about this location compared to another except the wait times. The wait times are almost always 45 minutes minimum and for me it's just not worth it.
We went early on a thursday night. Our party of 4 was seated immediately. Service was fast and we all liked our entries. Everything tasted fine, hot, good portions. Wine was good. I will return, its a decent alternative to Carrabas.
Summary
This Olive Garden is always busy because of its location, but despite that, the staff is wonderful and friendly. Expect long wait times when it gets very crowded. This place has great soups and salad, and the wine is excellent as well. The food comes fresh, hot, and in large portions.

Service is fast and the portions are well sized. Customer service is at a high level, with the host, wait staff, bartenders and managers being quick to remedy problems. Orders are fixed quickly to the customers liking if needed. Seating can sometimes take a while depending on the night. Value can be low on some items, but the flavor is usually high.

The service at the door was poor. Whoever the door girl is?... get a new one. Shes like the teacher on ferris buller. Server was on point Angel was his name. Above and beyond. Food was not worth the price for sure.
I have been here 20 times and the staff from greater, wait staff, bartenders, managers Have been excellent busy slow always the same great service. Have had orders not made to my request and instantly fixed, mangers always come by asking how everything is. The food is excellent
It's Olive Garden and it's in Surprise, so it's always busy. I've always had decent service and good tasting food. If I have my choice, I'm always going to choose a less chain place, but it's not bad in a pinch.
I'm currently eating a Olive Garden and I can honestly say Trevor, our waiter, is wonderful! He has been making sure that our drinks are full and that everything is tasting great! Definitely coming back because of him! Keep up the great work Trevor!!!!
This location is busy. I was happy with the prompt service and good food. I have visited the other locations in the past 75th McDowell and Estrella parkway and McDowell and this location is by far the the friendliest. Next time I feel like soup and salad without ghetto or cold treatment I will definitely stop at this location.
The host, our waitress and the food were all great! Though they sat us in the back where there was an uncomfortable smell, I usually come here and never have that problem so I'll come back again but yeah, my overall experience was good and i love the soups, the salads and the fettuccine!
I, like I'm sure every other American, love Olive Garden. I haven't experienced anything different about this location compared to another except the wait times. The wait times are almost always 45 minutes minimum and for me it's just not worth it.
We went early on a thursday night. Our party of 4 was seated immediately. Service was fast and we all liked our entries. Everything tasted fine, hot, good portions. Wine was good. I will return, its a decent alternative to Carrabas.
Summary
This particular branch of Olive Garden is usually very busy due to its location and this makes for longer wait times. Food tastes great and is just about as good as at other (Olive Garden) locations, but with friendlier and more impressive staff. Overall great place for a meal if one is not in too much of a hurry.
