Our company has rented conference rooms and held many meetings and corporate events at Place D'Armes and we were extremely satisfied with their service. There was always someone to greet and help with the setup and make sure we have everything we needed. More importantly, technical service was efficient and really went out of their way (even when it is your own equipment). The rooms are clean and beautiful and staff is great. The only negative thing is that they charge for the conference room for the whole day regardless if you only need it for half a day or an hour.
The hotel is located in the OLD Town part of Montreal by the Notre Dame Cathedral and short walking distance to the rivers edge. This hotel was a great value and the staff and location were excellent. There are 2 restaurants in the hotel that are very highly rated. The staff and service were excellent. The rooms are specious and nicely decorated The bathrooms are very nice with very big bathtubs. There is also a roof terrace to have drinks and enjoy the views. Couldn't use because it was raining.
We just returned from a mid-winter weekend get away to Montreal. We picked this hotel due to its location in Old Montreal, close to restaurants, Notre Dame and the cobblestone streets. From the moment we arrived when the valet service looked after the car until we checked out the service of the staff was top notch. The rooms were nice with hardwood floors and exposed brick. The bar, Suite701, is the perfect spot for a night cap. We would definately return.
Absolutely one of the best places to stay while visiting old city Montreal. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooftop bar and restaurant was beautiful with a view of Notre Dame Basilica. We stayed in Junior Suite 3402 and really appreciated the ambiance and decor. If I were to visit again I would think of staying in 3602 (second digit is the floor). The street noise was not bad however you will have early morning local truck deliveries.
Lovely hotel in an historic building with a fantastic location. Nice rooms, very friendly and service-oriented staff. Great little touches like chocolates on the pillow and turn-down service. Very helpful concierge. I was in Laval for business and went to Montreal for the weekend. I walked to restaurants, bars, the river, shopping. Close enough to walk to Mont Royal.
Stayed in one of the Suites which we got using one of the major credit card upgrades. Amazing bathroom with rain shower and a large tub. Modern room, clean bathroom, great service, great beds and blankets. The only thing that it lacks it is a pool but it can be overlooked. Location is great, the old Montreal.
Le Place D'Armes is an amazingly elegant hotel with staff that have a beautiful authenticity about them. The comfort and design of the rooms is worth the price and is a great fit for both business or personal occasions. If you are planning a trip to Montreal you simply need to check out this hotel.
Well I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel, it was just wonderful in every way. Perfect location, spotless, nice staff. Possibly the nicest place I have ever stayed. If you go to montreal and dont stay here you're missing out!
Summary
The staff at the hotel were incredibly accommodating and the hotel was well located.

My stay at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth didn't exceed my expectations, and also didn't disappoint. It was a nice hotel, but didn't blow me away. My room was slightly smaller than average although it was clean and with a slightly more modern decor than a typical Fairmont. My one gripe is with the toilet. It's basically the kind of toilet you'd find in a public bathroom, with a flush that's located under the counter and hard to get to. I do enjoy the Miller Harris citron toiletries, so that is a plus. Overall I'd rather be more centrally located to the main downtown area or closer to Old Montreal. It was fine for business travel and a short trip, but if I was visiting for vacation with the same budget, I'd likely go elsewhere.
I stayed here whilst attending a conference in the hotel. Arriving from Toronto by train was just about as convenient as it could possibly be since the station is directly beneath the hotel. The room was fine, with a fabulous view up the hill to Mont Royal from the top floor. Service from the check-in staff was polite and efficient and they rapidly corrected some incorrect charges for using the mini bar which I had not done. The hotel does look a little dated and not much of the glamour from when John and Yoko staged their bed in remains, but all in all it's a good value and well-located place to stay in Montreal. Make sure you join the President's club via the fairmont website before arriving so that you get free wi-fi access.
This is a very nice older, upper end, well maintained hotel. The front desk and concierge staff were very helpful and the housekeeping staff exceptionally friendly and accomodating. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a suite on the 16th floor that has a plaque that says "Give Peace A Chance". The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was too small. I personally hate any bathroom where my knees block the door from closing when seated. I continually worried that my toiletries would slide off the small shelf for toiletries into the toilet or jewlery would head south for the sink. I had some allergies which I suspect may have been an a/c ducting issue. Beyond these comments it is a nice hotel with very pleasant and helpful staff.
We spent a night at the Queen E with our grandchildren - it is a very nice place to stay - somewhat expensive but right in the center of Montreal. We upgraded to a suite which turned out to be very nice. The restuarant serves great breakfasts and dinners - again a bit expensive but very well done (the liver is great!). We visited the Biodome (lots of fun) and wondered around old Montreal area. Montreal has some great shopping areas we found.
I have been to this hotel countless time as part of frequent business travel. The location is great for business (right in financial centre) and for leisure (5 min walk to St Catherine Street where the shopping and restaurants are). I had an encounter of very bad service once. I took the matter to customer service aftewards and was impressed they listened and offered to upgrade my room next time I stay. Overall it is a good hotel and I would recommand to others.
I recently stayed a w.end at this Hotel,and I could not beleive that at the price they charge they put the coffee maker and the coffee as part of the mini bar!come on,most hotel,leave the coffee maker and the coffee free of charge in the room!
Was able to upgrade to the Gold floor and worth every penny. Had dinner at the Beaver club and enjoyed the excellent service. It made our stay very memorable. The hotel is beautiful in the winter, a magical place.
I've stayed here a number of times and this visit was no exception. I find the staff helpful and enjoy the history of the hotel. As well I find the location very convenient.

I travel to Vancouver regularly on business and always stay at the Sutton Place Hotel. It is truly a top end hotel from the well appointed lobby, excellent restaurant, beautiful guest suites and most important of all 5 star pulse customer service. Every staff member greets you with a pleasant smile and no request is considered too small. I stay in La Grande Residence where the one and two bedroom fully equipped suites make your stay, wether it is only a few days or a couple of weeks, relaxed and stress-free. The staff are so customer oriented that they always greet yu by name when you call the front desk and make you feel welcome on arrival by saying "Welcome back to the Sutton Place". The beds are very comfortable, you get an excellent sleep. The hotel is the preferred location for many Hollywood actors and crew shooting in Vancouver but the hotel staff treat every guest just as if they were an Oscar winner!
Sutton Place hotel was a great stay! The location at Burrard and Robson makes it super convenient for shopping and eating - lots of great locations around. Service was spot-on from all the staff. The hotel is a bit old but everything was still clean and renovated. Rooms were roomy and beds really comfortable. I only have 2 complaints - the parking is outrageous (40$ per night), and the hotel charges for internet (20$ per day). I think the hotel would be much better value if they would eliminate or lower some of these charges! Can definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in downtown Vancouver!
I stayed at the Sutton Place Vancouver for a 4-night business trip. During my stay I, unfortunately, came down with a really bad cold, so I used Room Service, which was excellent. I also ate in the dining room (excellent service). The "gift shop" is really more of a convenience store than a gift shop, but there are plenty of other souvenir-type shops around. Convenient walk to shops, restaurants and the stunningly beautiful Vancouver Convention Centre. Very, very comfortable bed. (No back pain, yay!)
We stayed here for 5 nights in a grand suite. The rooms were lovely - plenty of room for three of us, beautiful views, very quiet. We had wi-fi and continental breakfast included in our rate - the wi-fi worked flawlessly and the morning pastries were delicious. Service in this hotel is top rate - the concierges helped us with car rental, spa and restaurant reservations. And the location couldn't be better. We were able to walk everywhere downtown. We highly recommend Sutton Place.
This was my third time staying at Sutton Place and love staying here. Great location, clean rooms, comfortable beds, friendly/helpful staff. However, I don't recommend eating breakfast at the restaurant, pretty spendy for what you get. Maybe the buffet is the better way to go. Parking is spendy but hotel usually has a deal that helps cover the cost of parking. But this is my hotel of choice when I come to Vancouver!
First the service at Sutton Place was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is also great. Unfortunately the hotel itself is outdated and the rooms are in need of an upgrade. The price was very reasonable, but it would be nice to see this hotel receive a much needed makeover.
We were pleased with the location of this Hotel as it is only a 10 minute downhill walk from Canada Place from where the Cruise Ships depart. Our room was clean and comfortable. The Hotel is very close to the main shopping area and across the road we were able to catch the Hop-on Hop-off Trolley Tour.
It is central to all downtown activities and the staff are friendly,and helpful. The restaurant is great with always a little chef's surprise. We also enjoy the pool which has good hours for use. I have stayed with friends and family and for business and never been disappointed.
Summary
The hotel is highly recommended. It is in a great location and the staff at the hotel are very amiable and helpful to guests' needs.

We stayed at L'Hermitage in Aug. 2008, just two months after it opened. It is a very sleek, modern hotel in a great location in downtown Vancouver. Because it was so new, the staff seemed to still be figuring things out. For example, we weren't able to check into our room the first night for over an hour after the guaranteed check-in time. To make up for this, the staff comped a round of drinks for us at their wonderful guest lounge on the 5th floor. The website did not do this place justice . there's a beautiful rooftop pool and hot tub and the rooms are large and luxuorious. Very nice breakfast and afternoon h'or doeurve buffets are included in the price. The staff was very friendly and made sure that all of our needs were met. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to be pampered in Vancouver!
We will use this again. We stayed on 3 separate occasions in quick succession. The staff were always helpful, charming and friendly, the rooms elegant and spacious (wonderful bathrooms) and the location was great, particularly if you are flying in (2 blocks down from Vancouver City Centre station on the Canada Line. Don't even think about a cab, on a Sunday when there is no $5 surcharge it cost under $6 for my wife and me to get to the airport. Heathrow and London Underground hang your heads in shame). Treat yourself to the $17.50 breakfast buffet, it must be the best "posh" value in Vancouver !
We are a family of 5 and had an extremely comfortable 4 night stay in their 2 bedroom suite. Kudos to Jean-michel & Hippo, Raymond, Elaisha, Mitch and a super housekeeping team for being so helpful and friendly. We felt most at home and strongly recommend to all who plan to visit Vancouver. Great location with Japadog and Viet-Sub eateries and Sears, Hudson Bay, Holt Renfrew nearby. Easy access to the main attractions. The team deserves a great pat on their backs for their great work attitude. Special thanks to Jean-michel for going out of your way for us.
This is a really great hotel - near new, small boutique style, great rooms more like small apartments with full kitchens. Fantastic pool and sun deck. Not a gripe, but you should know this hotel does not have room service - wasn't an issue for me, but may be for some travellers. great location - close to everything! Really reasonably priced compared to the other hotel i stayed in during my stay in Vanvouver.
My stay at L'Hermitage exceeded that of any other I have ever had in Vancouver. I have stayed at many of the better hotels downtown while visiting this great city over the past 15 years. The staff were extraordinarily friendly and helpful without being overbearing. A great experience I will be recommending to friends, family and business colleagues. Thank you L'Hermitage.
The front desk was fantastic. Check in and check out were a breeze as they let me spend more time with my family and getting to the wedding. It was the perfect end to our wedding night, the room was top notch! Thanks!
The amenities, breakfast buffet and service at this hotel are excellent. Concierge helped us reserve a table at a great restaurant nearby (Goldfish) and we used the bikes to see Stanley Park.
If and when I visit Canada again this hotel will be a definite. It is great!
Summary
The hotel is highly recommended. It is in a great location and the staff at the hotel are very amiable and helpful to guests' needs.

We stayed at L'Hermitage in Aug. 2008, just two months after it opened. It is a very sleek, modern hotel in a great location in downtown Vancouver. Because it was so new, the staff seemed to still be figuring things out. For example, we weren't able to check into our room the first night for over an hour after the guaranteed check-in time. To make up for this, the staff comped a round of drinks for us at their wonderful guest lounge on the 5th floor. The website did not do this place justice . there's a beautiful rooftop pool and hot tub and the rooms are large and luxuorious. Very nice breakfast and afternoon h'or doeurve buffets are included in the price. The staff was very friendly and made sure that all of our needs were met. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to be pampered in Vancouver!
We will use this again. We stayed on 3 separate occasions in quick succession. The staff were always helpful, charming and friendly, the rooms elegant and spacious (wonderful bathrooms) and the location was great, particularly if you are flying in (2 blocks down from Vancouver City Centre station on the Canada Line. Don't even think about a cab, on a Sunday when there is no $5 surcharge it cost under $6 for my wife and me to get to the airport. Heathrow and London Underground hang your heads in shame). Treat yourself to the $17.50 breakfast buffet, it must be the best "posh" value in Vancouver !
We are a family of 5 and had an extremely comfortable 4 night stay in their 2 bedroom suite. Kudos to Jean-michel & Hippo, Raymond, Elaisha, Mitch and a super housekeeping team for being so helpful and friendly. We felt most at home and strongly recommend to all who plan to visit Vancouver. Great location with Japadog and Viet-Sub eateries and Sears, Hudson Bay, Holt Renfrew nearby. Easy access to the main attractions.

This hotel cannot be recommended highly enough because the location is so great and close to everything downtown. Not only this but the hotel staff were friendly and so helpful when catering to every need.

- First thing is the location, no need for public transport, we could walk from hotel to anywhere. - No need for the expencive hotel breakfast 'cause in the walking distance of 20-50 meters on the Rembrandt square there are cheaper places to eat. - We got a deal in the hotel and got one night for free. - In the same walking distance- on the rembrandt square- there are couple of clubs. I remember one was awesome, one was terrible, and in the third we couldn't enter, the tickets were sold out. And there is a great coffeshop just by the entrance of hotel :D - Very clean, tidy and a safe hotel for reasonable price. -I'm definintely sleeping there again and recommending it to friends.
Me and my boyfriend stayed here as a 30th Birthday treat and had a great time. The room was immaculate, and the bed amazingly comfortable to the point that we did not leave it until lunch time on the first morning! And was just as hard on day two. Great location too. We paid for a cab from Central St on arrival but felt rather ripped of as it was a20 and was only a 5 minute ride. On the way back we caught a tram which was much cheaper (actually it was free as we did not realise you had to pay the driver when you got on!) and just as quick. Would definitely recommend this hotel and will hopefully be going back in the near future!
the room was very small, but that's not the biggest problem - the receptionists were. the wifi at the lobby was very slow and the receptionists didnt even know how guests can log on (user name, password and patience required). but the worst was a french-speaking tall male receptionist who was extremely rude and made it very clear that he didnt like being asked about how to connect to the internet. he made condescending remarks in french about american tourists (and i'm not even american!). the carpet is filthy and so is the hotel's surroundings - noisy, crowded, and the street is disgusting after rain.
I booked this hotel after reading reviews on this site and Expedia, with a real priority for me being its cleanliness and quietness. It didn't disappoint on either count and had the added bonus of being in an excellent location - far enough away from the slightly too brash touristy bits but near enough as not to be a long walk from anywhere useful. The modern room was nice and the bathroom was excellent, although some might be surprised at the European practice of having no shower curtain so the bathroom floor gets a bit wet. I'd definitely book here again.
The Hotel is perfectly placed for both travel and entertainment on the edge of Rembrandt Square. It is within very easy walking distance to everywhere in Central Amsterdam, but sufficiently on the edge for it to be quiet at night. It has a first class seafood Bistro if you wish to eat in. It's main clientele are business and corporate, which should tell you a lot about the overall quality and respect this hotel has. This has been my hotel of choice, even when travelling privately to Amsterdam with family.
A good hotel bang in the centre of Amsterdam. Rooms are clean and modern and I will be staying there again. A couple of things to note: My room had mosquitos (common for AMS this summer), they were fully booked so could not give me another room but did eventually find some fly spay so problem solved. Breakfast is expensive at EUR15, just take a walk down the street and have a better breakfast in one of the cafes.
We found our room the be of nice size and bothe the room and bath were easy to navigate in a wheelchair. The beds were compfortable and the room were nicely appointed. The staff was most helpful with directions and other touristy information. The food in the restaurant's food was quite good with a nice selection. We would recommend the Eden Rembrandt Square as our stay was quite good.
The location of the hotel is excellent. Its 5 mins from the Waterlooplein metro station and hence easily accessible. Room service was mediocre - the staff came to clean the room once in 3 days in spite of a reminder. Hotel rooms were of good size.
Summary
The rooms of the hotel are clean and the hotel is definitely recommended. The hotel is in walking distance to the sights. Despite being quite pricey the breakfast was super tasty and sumptuous.

Located on the Herengracht, one of the old canal rings encircling the city, the Ambassade is beautifully decorated - we were open-mouthed at the quality of the furnishings. And it was staffed with friendly, knowledgeable, multilingual employees. The location was perfect - we were within walking distance of museums, the Dam, the Red Light District, the Begjinhof, great restaurants and bars (we loved the Five Flies just around the corner, built in 1634). The breakfast was sumptuous, but seemed a bit pricey, so we only tried it once. WE stayed for 3 nights, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Stayed in this hotel on Saturday night for a very brief visit to the City. The staff at reception were exceptionally, kind and help and just couldn't do enough for us. Joost Van Der Kwaak led the charge here and was amazing. The rooms are divine, very large and beautifully decorated - the most comfortable beds and pillows - we even managed to get a room with a superb view over the canal. I loved the fact that everything is within walking distance - the museums, flower market etc. Will definitely go back. Yes it's a little pricey but well worth every penny!
We stayed there for around 5 days in April of this year and would definitely stay there again if finances allow. The staff was very friendly and professional. The room was very nice and clean. We had a room overlooking the canal so that made it even nicer. Free wireless internet in the room. Nice clean bathroom. Comfortable bed. The location is also great, it was pretty much walking distance from everything we wanted to do. It was pretty expensive, but I do believe you get what you pay for - high quality! No complaints at all.
The staff was amazingly handy in every aspect. I simply found the hotel in Trip Advisor, never heard about. They rent bicycles themselves, so you are not attached to the time of rental stores. For example you can return the bike in the middle of dawn. Nice and stylish rooms. They upgraded me to a better room with canal view. They respond to all e-mails, request. They are 100%.
Spent a night at this very comfortable hotel. One of the most comfortable rooms I have ever been in. Everything is perfect. Hotel is centrally located bu quiet. Just be careful ate at night to remember which side of the canal the hotel is on, if you forget, you may be wandering around for a while. Free Internet and a printer too if you need it.
Right in the center, close (walking distance) to everything you had to see in Amsterdam, bathroom is very, very clean. Rooms are spacious with free internet access if you have a laptop (there is also a free access near the front desk) and.excellent breakfast! PS: The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful
We are fussy and can't think of anything critical to say about this hotel. Service, cleanliness, room size, breakfast, location and everything else were wonderful and, considering the quality, the cost was quite reasonable.
I stayed at the ambassade in Oct staff: respectful,professional location : ideal room: standard.clean,cosy price:reasonable

Terrible disappointment Maybe a 1 or 2 star, but NOT 4! The staff was exceptional. Very helpful and thoughtful.The rooms were a disappointment. They are all run down (at least the 3 we saw), items are missing and not replaced, i.e. soap dishes, etc. The carpeting is torn and worn. The Air conditioners barely work, and are rusty and noisy. All the rooms we saw smell from odor. We had to pay to Upgrade to the top floor to get a halfway decent room, which is still 2 star in my opinion. The elevator is not large enough for a surfboard to fit in it (kind of ironic don't you think), so you have to leave your board in a lockup room in the lobby.
Great little hotel! We stayed here for two days before leaving the islands after getting married on Kaua`i in August, 2004. We booked with the Entertainment Card discount, so the price ?even with daily parking ?was great. I prefer being at the eastern end of Waikiki (where the Beachside is) and it's proximity to the beach itself, right ACROSS THE STREET, is perfect. The room was small but nice. Upon hearing that we just got married, the desk clerk upgraded us to a full ocean view room and sent up a split of champagne ?a very nice touch. Needless to say, the view was spectacular and we enjoyed having a glass of wine on the balcony before heading out to dinner both nights.
Would recommend this hotel. We stayed at this hotel in October of 2005 for 7 days. The hotel was small but we knew that when we made our reservations. We found that the stafff was extremely helpful and gave us advice on the various activities that we should participate in and would help us to sign up for them. If your looking for full on resort than this is not your place but it was perfect for what we needed. The rooms are small and there is no pool on site. Being across the street from the beach we wouldn't have used the pool anyways. We thought that is was in the perfect location, we were able to walk to everything. I would recommend this hotel and would also stay here again.
Fab Location Literally across the road from Waikik beach, easy walk to all Waikik has to offer. Understand hotel has recently been bought by Aqua chain and looks as if it will be undergoing renovation in the near future - scaffolding all around hotel during my stay with workmen there friom 9 - 5. Interior does need updating and is rather worn and dated - however, location compensates for this.Breakfast is a bit of a joke though and unless you are there when it goes out forget it, my 1st morning there I arrived at about 8.15am to be told there was nothing left! Even when there there is food left it's poor quality muffins only.
Great Staff, superb location - will be back ! First time visit to Hawaii - this hotel's location could not be beaten - just cross the road and you are on Waikiki beach and the International Market Place is a few yards down the road. Staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to help. Rooms are spotlessly clean - will definitely stay there again without hesitation.
Very oriental The rooms are not large, but decorated beautifullly with antiques. Breakfast in the atrium with the Kona coffee was great. Short walk across the stree to the beach. I would recommed it to anyone.
Excellent for the price This was taken from the beach, the brown building to the left of the blue signed building is the
Small room.Great view View from the balcony.
Summary
This is a hotel resort that's in a good location for seeing the nearby ocean and beach and a good view of Hawaii. The staff at the hotel were very professional. Would definitely recommend the hotel.

Upon hearing that we just got married, the desk clerk upgraded us to a full ocean view room and sent up a split of champagne ?a very nice touch. Needless to say, the view was spectacular and we enjoyed having a glass of wine on the balcony before heading out to dinner both nights.
Would recommend this hotel. We stayed at this hotel in October of 2005 for 7 days. The hotel was small but we knew that when we made our reservations. We found that the stafff was extremely helpful and gave us advice on the various activities that we should participate in and would help us to sign up for them. If your looking for full on resort than this is not your place but it was perfect for what we needed. The rooms are small and there is no pool on site. Being across the street from the beach we wouldn't have used the pool anyways. We thought that is was in the perfect location, we were able to walk to everything. I would recommend this hotel and would also stay here again.
Fab Location Literally across the road from Waikik beach, easy walk to all Waikik has to offer. Understand hotel has recently been bought by Aqua chain and looks as if it will be undergoing renovation in the near future - scaffolding all around hotel during my stay with workmen there friom 9 - 5. Interior does need updating and is rather worn and dated - however, location compensates for this.Breakfast is a bit of a joke though and unless you are there when it goes out forget it, my 1st morning there I arrived at about 8.15am to be told there was nothing left! Even when there there is food left it's poor quality muffins only.
Great Staff, superb location - will be back ! First time visit to Hawaii - this hotel's location could not be beaten - just cross the road and you are on Waikiki beach and the International Market Place is a few yards down the road. Staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to help. Rooms are spotlessly clean - will definitely stay there again without hesitation.
Very oriental The rooms are not large, but decorated beautifullly with antiques. Breakfast in the atrium with the Kona coffee was great. Short walk across the stree to the beach. I would recommed it to anyone.
Excellent for the price This was taken from the beach, the brown building to the left of the blue signed building is the
Small room.Great view View from the balcony.
Summary
This hotel is highly recommended. The location of this hotel is perfect and not only provides great views but also close to the beach. The staff provide a really great friendly but professional service.

Terrible disappointment Maybe a 1 or 2 star, but NOT 4! The staff was exceptional. Very helpful and thoughtful.The rooms were a disappointment. They are all run down (at least the 3 we saw), items are missing and not replaced, i.e. soap dishes, etc. The carpeting is torn and worn. The Air conditioners barely work, and are rusty and noisy. All the rooms we saw smell from odor. We had to pay to Upgrade to the top floor to get a halfway decent room, which is still 2 star in my opinion. The elevator is not large enough for a surfboard to fit in it (kind of ironic don't you think), so you have to leave your board in a lockup room in the lobby.
Great little hotel! We stayed here for two days before leaving the islands after getting married on Kaua`i in August, 2004. We booked with the Entertainment Card discount, so the price ?even with daily parking ?was great.

great place We got back a week ago from a week long stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I read some of the reviews before we left, and cannot understand what all of the complaining was for from some of the reviews that I read. We had an absolutely great time. The hotel was completely booked (President's Week), and we estimated that with 3,000 rooms, there were approximately 10,000 guests that week, but you would never know it. You did need to go down early to get a lounger by the superpool, but that was nothing to complain about. The staff was courteous, the rooms were terrific and the view was to die for! The hotel grounds are beautiful and there really is no reason to leave the hotel grounds. We did go on day journeys but also enjoyed the days sitting by the pool or on the beach (which just happens to be the best part of Waikiki Beach.) I would go back to this hotel in a heartbeat and would recommend it without hesitation.
There's no place like HHV! Just returned from our third visit to Hawaii and the Hilton Hawaiian Village (March 7-13). I cannot imagine staying anywhere other than HHV. It is like visiting an old and cherished friend. Our last two visits have been spent in the Ali Tower and the staff there is wonderful. You can quickly become spoiled to the twice a day maid service and the nightly turn-down service. You would have a wonderful vacation if you never left the Village. Everything you can possibly need or want is there. I even look forward to the almost daily trips to the ABC store! Just steps away from the beach, HHV is truly a part of paradise!
Excellent Stay Spent only 1 night in the Kahlia tower on the executive floor. I found the staff to be top notch, very friendly and professional. The room in the Kahlia tower was newly built and very luxurious, with a small patio and a great view out to sea. The resort is very large with many shops and a great selection of restaurants. We chose to leave the property and go next door for dinner to Kobe Steakhouse, well worth the walk. Over all this is a great resort for either a stop over before your Hawaiian vacation or even a week long visit. Expect resort prices for food and drink, but good quality.
Best Hotel on Waikiki Beach! This is my second stay at this hotel. The service is wonderful and they have the nicest, cleanest and widest beach. They try their best to accommodate all guests' requests in spite of being one of the busiest hotels in the area! A wide choice of restaurants and shops. If you have the $$, would definitely recommend it. There's no other hotel like the HHV on Waikiki Beach!
disappointing Was on the 31st floor of the Rainbow tower. Decor and furnishings are right from the 1970s. Walls are paper-thin - was kept awake by a crying baby next door. Hot water took about 20 mins to arrive. Extractor fan in the ceiling was full of hair. If I had been paying any more than the conference rate, I'd be upset! Very disappointing
loved it We stayed only one night after staying on Maui and loved it. The hotel was expensive but we were on the waikiki side on a high floor and the view was incredible. Worth it!

This is a hotel resort that's in a good location for seeing the nearby ocean and beach and a good view of Hawaii. The staff at the hotel were very professional. Would definitely recommend the hotel.

Like the other reviewers, I have to say this hotel is close to perfect. The rooms aren't as large as I would have liked (we were upgraded for an 8 night stay from a deluxe to one of the Richard Meier ultra-modern rooms on the two "executive" floors). I had been to Rome once before and, on the recommendation of friends, stayed in a fancy hotel on the Via Veneto. The Via Veneto area is sterile and not fun and we didn't really enjoy our stay there. But the Raphael, just off Piazza Navona in the historical center, is a whole other story. You walk out the door and you're right there, in the midst of everything. As befits a Relais & Chateaux hotel, everything is elegant and the staff and service are the best. Really, the only problem is paying the bill at the end!
Our second stay here in 12 months and the service from this hotel is enough to make me want to return to Rome, just so I can stay here again! The location is second to none and we have been able to walk to all the main sights from here. We have stayed in three different rooms at this hotel and they have all been fabulous. The buffet breakfast is very good and the rooftop is a pleasant area to enjoy a drink or two after a long day of sight seeing. We were left 'tasty treats' on our room every day and we love the adjustable beds.The staff at the front desk are very helpful and friendly and the doorman was a delight! Hopefully we'll see you again next year!
We stayed at the Raphael for 3 nights and we had an enjoyable stay there. Upon arrival we were upgraded to one of the newly renovated Richard Meier rooms, which was very nice, with a spacious bathroom and clever use of the available space. The hotel corridors could benefit from a decoration as they were a bit plain, and the elevator needs a small facelift, but nonetheless it was fuctional and the guest doesn't spend any time there. Breakfast was quite good, especially for Italy, and the location just off piazza Navona, ideal. The only downside is the staff, which while friendly and kind, didn't go beyond their duties for advice etc.
Hotel Raphael is absolutely gorgeous! It is very comfortable, clean and quiet. A reasonable journey from Campiano Airport should cost you no more than 40 euro. Our sheets were changed every day and the delicious chocolates on our bed every night were fantastic. The Bulgari toiletries smell gorgeous so enjoyed several long soaks in the bath. Breakfast is amazing, made extra special by starting the day with a refreshing 'Bucks Fizz' Everything about the hotel is perfect the staff are very courteous and are most helpful. Would highly recommend and would most definately visit again. - Mike and Alison
A beautiful hotel in a very bustling area of Rome. You expect everything to be perfect at an R&C but this is an entire staff taking service to whole new level. Arrangements for cars, tours and restaurants via email.way before you get there. Thanks Anna. A glass of prosecco delivered anywhere in the hotel at the direction of Stephen in the restaurant. I can't say enough about this hotel
Selected hotel via Australian website. Very good value. Great location - could walk to all main places and sights in Rome. Brekky was a good size buffet and on roof top garden at level 6. Rooms not huge but good and nice bathroom. Wifi worked and was free. Loved having pre-dinner wine on roof top while seeing the sun go down on St Peter's basilica.
Highly recommend Hotel Raphael as it was perfect for my solo holiday. Hotel Staff were excellent in making my stay comfortable. The hotel is perfectly situated in Piazza Navona so close to dining and shopping and of course historic sites.
We were upgraded to a suite upon our arrival, and it only got better each day. The location is perfect for accessing all the historic sights on foot, and there were tons of fantastic restaurants right nearby.

Stayed here for 4 nights with my partner in August '09. The hotel is located 50m around the corner from the famous Campo De 'Fiori which is a wonderful area for eating and drinking as well as having great nightlife. The room itself was beautifully done in a period setting. Bed was large and aircon was fine. Staff extremely passionate and friendly about when and where to see the sights. Location is excellent as only a 5 minute walk to the piazza navona, 10 min walk to the trevi fountain and pantheon and 15 min walk to Vaticano and Colosseum. Also only a 10 min walk to the river and the wonderful trastevere area of eating/nightlife. There is a viewing deck above the top floor which is great to relax and have a few drinks and offers a really nice view of the area as well which was a bonus! No complaints whatsoever here, had a wonderful stay!
I can't say enough about the wonderful Hotel Campo De Fiori! The location is perfect for sight seeing in Rome. The rooms are typical European sized but beautiful and well-appointed. I was a little concerned about potential noise from the nearby square but with my windows shut I didn't hear a peep. The photos on the web site are accurate and the roof-top deck is a dream! The breakfast was ample with excellent coffee. The best thing about the hotel is the amazing staff - Valentina, Matteo, Barbara, Gabriele, Angelo, Adam, Andrea & Andrew - not only efficient and well-versed on the city, they were kind hearted and lovely. They bent over backwards to make my stay truly special and I can't wait to return!
My wife and I visited Rome for the first time this past November, and we couldn't be happier with our stay at Hotel Campo de Fiori. The location of the hotel is perfect, 5 minute walk to most of the sites, 20 minute walk to the Vatican City and 20 minutes the other way to the Coliseum. The hotel staff is extremely helpful and make good recommendations on restaurants (La Scalla and The Library were two of our favorites, and will go back for sure to both). The rooms were smaller - but they were loaded with character and the bathrooms were superb.
After our port intensive Med cruise it was a relief to have such a haven as this hotel to unwind for three nights. We loved our top floor room with it's own terrace and the access to the fabulous large rooftop terrace was right outside our door. The terrace was not only a great 360 degree view of the historic area of Rome but it was such a great social place to join others over wine in the hours leading up to sunset. Magic. The staff is so helpful and made us feel so welcome there. Highly recommend this boutique hotel.
If you are looking for a place with a central location and superb roofterrace and don't mind being ripped off, this is it. All you need to overlook is the dreadfull breakfast (for instance, the cheese had never seen a cow and the orange juice looks radio-active), the claustrophobic rooms and lack of any extras cq basics in the room (water, toilettries, etc.) that you might expect for the price they charge.
Thank you very much for your hospitality while we stayed with you during Aug 1 - 4, 2008. My wiffe and I were extremely pleased with the hospitable staff, general cleanliness, quiet rooms, delicious breakfast and all. The overall experience at your hotel was very good and this made Rome even better for us. We would look forward to coming back to Rome to stay in the Hotel Campo de' Fiori. Thank you.
Great hotel with very kind and very helpful personnel. The roof garden is absolutely great! Very nice view over Rome. The rooms are lovely! The location is perfect: at the Campo de' Fiori and near the ancient centre of Rome.
I would so recommend this hotel for the location, the accomodations, the friendliness of the staff and the amazing roof garden. I thank Travel Advisors for sending us in the right direction in the first place

The staff is so helpful and made us feel so welcome there. Highly recommend this boutique hotel.
If you are looking for a place with a central location and superb roofterrace and don't mind being ripped off, this is it. All you need to overlook is the dreadfull breakfast (for instance, the cheese had never seen a cow and the orange juice looks radio-active), the claustrophobic rooms and lack of any extras cq basics in the room (water, toilettries, etc.) that you might expect for the price they charge.
Thank you very much for your hospitality while we stayed with you during Aug 1 - 4, 2008. My wiffe and I were extremely pleased with the hospitable staff, general cleanliness, quiet rooms, delicious breakfast and all. The overall experience at your hotel was very good and this made Rome even better for us. We would look forward to coming back to Rome to stay in the Hotel Campo de' Fiori. Thank you.
Great hotel with very kind and very helpful personnel. The roof garden is absolutely great! Very nice view over Rome. The rooms are lovely! The location is perfect: at the Campo de' Fiori and near the ancient centre of Rome.
I would so recommend this hotel for the location, the accomodations, the friendliness of the staff and the amazing roof garden. I thank Travel Advisors for sending us in the right direction in the first place

This hotel is really recommended because the staff are very friendly.

Stayed here for 4 nights with my partner in August '09. The hotel is located 50m around the corner from the famous Campo De 'Fiori which is a wonderful area for eating and drinking as well as having great nightlife. The room itself was beautifully done in a period setting. Bed was large and aircon was fine. Staff extremely passionate and friendly about when and where to see the sights. Location is excellent as only a 5 minute walk to the piazza navona, 10 min walk to the trevi fountain and pantheon and 15 min walk to Vaticano and Colosseum. Also only a 10 min walk to the river and the wonderful trastevere area of eating/nightlife. There is a viewing deck above the top floor which is great to relax and have a few drinks and offers a really nice view of the area as well which was a bonus! No complaints whatsoever here, had a wonderful stay!
I can't say enough about the wonderful Hotel Campo De Fiori! The location is perfect for sight seeing in Rome. The rooms are typical European sized but beautiful and well-appointed. I was a little concerned about potential noise from the nearby square but with my windows shut I didn't hear a peep. The photos on the web site are accurate and the roof-top deck is a dream! The breakfast was ample with excellent coffee. The best thing about the hotel is the amazing staff - Valentina, Matteo, Barbara, Gabriele, Angelo, Adam, Andrea & Andrew - not only efficient and well-versed on the city, they were kind hearted and lovely. They bent over backwards to make my stay truly special and I can't wait to return!
My wife and I visited Rome for the first time this past November, and we couldn't be happier with our stay at Hotel Campo de Fiori. The location of the hotel is perfect, 5 minute walk to most of the sites, 20 minute walk to the Vatican City and 20 minutes the other way to the Coliseum. The hotel staff is extremely helpful and make good recommendations on restaurants (La Scalla and The Library were two of our favorites, and will go back for sure to both). The rooms were smaller - but they were loaded with character and the bathrooms were superb.
After our port intensive Med cruise it was a relief to have such a haven as this hotel to unwind for three nights. We loved our top floor room with it's own terrace and the access to the fabulous large rooftop terrace was right outside our door. The terrace was not only a great 360 degree view of the historic area of Rome but it was such a great social place to join others over wine in the hours leading up to sunset. Magic.

Our company has rented conference rooms and held many meetings and corporate events at Place D'Armes and we were extremely satisfied with their service. There was always someone to greet and help with the setup and make sure we have everything we needed. More importantly, technical service was efficient and really went out of their way (even when it is your own equipment). The rooms are clean and beautiful and staff is great. The only negative thing is that they charge for the conference room for the whole day regardless if you only need it for half a day or an hour.
The hotel is located in the OLD Town part of Montreal by the Notre Dame Cathedral and short walking distance to the rivers edge. This hotel was a great value and the staff and location were excellent. There are 2 restaurants in the hotel that are very highly rated. The staff and service were excellent. The rooms are specious and nicely decorated The bathrooms are very nice with very big bathtubs. There is also a roof terrace to have drinks and enjoy the views. Couldn't use because it was raining.
We just returned from a mid-winter weekend get away to Montreal. We picked this hotel due to its location in Old Montreal, close to restaurants, Notre Dame and the cobblestone streets. From the moment we arrived when the valet service looked after the car until we checked out the service of the staff was top notch. The rooms were nice with hardwood floors and exposed brick. The bar, Suite701, is the perfect spot for a night cap. We would definately return.
Absolutely one of the best places to stay while visiting old city Montreal. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooftop bar and restaurant was beautiful with a view of Notre Dame Basilica. We stayed in Junior Suite 3402 and really appreciated the ambiance and decor. If I were to visit again I would think of staying in 3602 (second digit is the floor). The street noise was not bad however you will have early morning local truck deliveries.
Lovely hotel in an historic building with a fantastic location. Nice rooms, very friendly and service-oriented staff. Great little touches like chocolates on the pillow and turn-down service. Very helpful concierge. I was in Laval for business and went to Montreal for the weekend. I walked to restaurants, bars, the river, shopping. Close enough to walk to Mont Royal.
Stayed in one of the Suites which we got using one of the major credit card upgrades. Amazing bathroom with rain shower and a large tub. Modern room, clean bathroom, great service, great beds and blankets. The only thing that it lacks it is a pool but it can be overlooked. Location is great, the old Montreal.
Le Place D'Armes is an amazingly elegant hotel with staff that have a beautiful authenticity about them. The comfort and design of the rooms is worth the price and is a great fit for both business or personal occasions. If you are planning a trip to Montreal you simply need to check out this hotel.
Well I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel, it was just wonderful in every way. Perfect location, spotless, nice staff. Possibly the nicest place I have ever stayed. If you go to montreal and dont stay here you're missing out!
Summary
The hotel has conference rooms available to rent out for conferences and corporate events. The location of this hotel makes it easy to access restaurants, the river and shops. The rooms are a good size and well decorated. The bathroom in the hotel was large and with a large bathtub. Small touches like a chocolate on the pillow are also nice. The hotel has a roof terrace for drinks. Unfortunately the hotel is missing the availability of a pool.

Summary
This is a lovely place that was wonderful in all ways. It is definitely a place you will want to return again. The hotel is in walking condition to local restaurants, bars and even the Mont Royal. Beautifully decorated hotel rooms that are well designed and comfortable for all occasions. Very spacious in size with luxurious amenities in the bathroom, and it's the little touches such as chocolates on the pillow that make these rooms even more memorable. The hotel features some good places to have drinks and food, and there were even great chocolates left on the pillow. This hotel could do with a pool as that is the only thing it is really lacking.

Summary
The hotel, Le Place D'Armes, is amazing. It is elegant. The rooms are very nice and upgrades are available. This is a great place to stay on business as well. The hotel is within easy walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shopping. You can also walk to the Mont Royal or the river. Fantastic location. The rooms are nice and spacious with good decoration too. The bathrooms are really great because there are massive bathtubs and lovely rainfall showers. A nice touch is the turn-down service with cute chocolates left on the pillows. The staff at Le Place D'Armes is great. Really good service overall. The two restaurants at this hotel are highly recommended, and there is also the option to eat and have a few drinks on the roof terrace to enjoy the views.

My stay at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth didn't exceed my expectations, and also didn't disappoint. It was a nice hotel, but didn't blow me away. My room was slightly smaller than average although it was clean and with a slightly more modern decor than a typical Fairmont. My one gripe is with the toilet. It's basically the kind of toilet you'd find in a public bathroom, with a flush that's located under the counter and hard to get to. I do enjoy the Miller Harris citron toiletries, so that is a plus. Overall I'd rather be more centrally located to the main downtown area or closer to Old Montreal. It was fine for business travel and a short trip, but if I was visiting for vacation with the same budget, I'd likely go elsewhere.
I stayed here whilst attending a conference in the hotel. Arriving from Toronto by train was just about as convenient as it could possibly be since the station is directly beneath the hotel. The room was fine, with a fabulous view up the hill to Mont Royal from the top floor. Service from the check-in staff was polite and efficient and they rapidly corrected some incorrect charges for using the mini bar which I had not done. The hotel does look a little dated and not much of the glamour from when John and Yoko staged their bed in remains, but all in all it's a good value and well-located place to stay in Montreal. Make sure you join the President's club via the fairmont website before arriving so that you get free wi-fi access.
This is a very nice older, upper end, well maintained hotel. The front desk and concierge staff were very helpful and the housekeeping staff exceptionally friendly and accomodating. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a suite on the 16th floor that has a plaque that says "Give Peace A Chance". The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was too small. I personally hate any bathroom where my knees block the door from closing when seated. I continually worried that my toiletries would slide off the small shelf for toiletries into the toilet or jewlery would head south for the sink. I had some allergies which I suspect may have been an a/c ducting issue. Beyond these comments it is a nice hotel with very pleasant and helpful staff.
We spent a night at the Queen E with our grandchildren - it is a very nice place to stay - somewhat expensive but right in the center of Montreal. We upgraded to a suite which turned out to be very nice. The restuarant serves great breakfasts and dinners - again a bit expensive but very well done (the liver is great!). We visited the Biodome (lots of fun) and wondered around old Montreal area. Montreal has some great shopping areas we found.
I have been to this hotel countless time as part of frequent business travel. The location is great for business (right in financial centre) and for leisure (5 min walk to St Catherine Street where the shopping and restaurants are). I had an encounter of very bad service once. I took the matter to customer service aftewards and was impressed they listened and offered to upgrade my room next time I stay. Overall it is a good hotel and I would recommand to others.
I recently stayed a w.end at this Hotel,and I could not beleive that at the price they charge they put the coffee maker and the coffee as part of the mini bar!come on,most hotel,leave the coffee maker and the coffee free of charge in the room!
Was able to upgrade to the Gold floor and worth every penny. Had dinner at the Beaver club and enjoyed the excellent service. It made our stay very memorable. The hotel is beautiful in the winter, a magical place.
I've stayed here a number of times and this visit was no exception. I find the staff helpful and enjoy the history of the hotel. As well I find the location very convenient.
Summary
The hotel is especially memorable during a winter stay. The room was okay but on the small side including the bathroom as well. After upgrading rooms to a suite this was absolutely fine and had a great view with modern decor. Whilst the breakfast and dinners are both quite expensive they're really great and tasty. But a coffee maker and coffee was not free of charge, which is unusual. Whilst the toiletries were really great there was an issue with the toilet.

This is neither a disappointing hotel or one that will exceed expectations. It can be magical in the winter time and it is definitely a nice hotel, it just won't blow you away. A very convenient location. The bathrooms in the hotel room are quite small but the room itself is clean and modern . The hotel serves very good food at both breakfast and dinner. It is a little expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. The hotel uses Miller Harris citron toiletries which is a nice touch.

Summary
This is a generally good hotel that is slightly expensive but highly recommended for a memorable visit to the area. It is also in close proximity to the city centre, so a lovely place to go for nice walks. This hotel is located in a really convenient area here. The rooms at this hotel are smaller than expected and the toilets are inadequately sized and too small for comfortable use. An upgrade might be an option to consider though as the suites are very nice. The quality of the breakfasts and dinners at this hotel are great. However, they are quite expensive and the coffee in the rooms don't come free as charge like most other hotels.

I travel to Vancouver regularly on business and always stay at the Sutton Place Hotel. It is truly a top end hotel from the well appointed lobby, excellent restaurant, beautiful guest suites and most important of all 5 star pulse customer service. Every staff member greets you with a pleasant smile and no request is considered too small. I stay in La Grande Residence where the one and two bedroom fully equipped suites make your stay, wether it is only a few days or a couple of weeks, relaxed and stress-free. The staff are so customer oriented that they always greet yu by name when you call the front desk and make you feel welcome on arrival by saying "Welcome back to the Sutton Place". The beds are very comfortable, you get an excellent sleep. The hotel is the preferred location for many Hollywood actors and crew shooting in Vancouver but the hotel staff treat every guest just as if they were an Oscar winner!
Sutton Place hotel was a great stay! The location at Burrard and Robson makes it super convenient for shopping and eating - lots of great locations around. Service was spot-on from all the staff. The hotel is a bit old but everything was still clean and renovated. Rooms were roomy and beds really comfortable. I only have 2 complaints - the parking is outrageous (40$ per night), and the hotel charges for internet (20$ per day). I think the hotel would be much better value if they would eliminate or lower some of these charges! Can definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in downtown Vancouver!
I stayed at the Sutton Place Vancouver for a 4-night business trip. During my stay I, unfortunately, came down with a really bad cold, so I used Room Service, which was excellent. I also ate in the dining room (excellent service). The "gift shop" is really more of a convenience store than a gift shop, but there are plenty of other souvenir-type shops around. Convenient walk to shops, restaurants and the stunningly beautiful Vancouver Convention Centre. Very, very comfortable bed. (No back pain, yay!)
We stayed here for 5 nights in a grand suite. The rooms were lovely - plenty of room for three of us, beautiful views, very quiet. We had wi-fi and continental breakfast included in our rate - the wi-fi worked flawlessly and the morning pastries were delicious. Service in this hotel is top rate - the concierges helped us with car rental, spa and restaurant reservations. And the location couldn't be better. We were able to walk everywhere downtown. We highly recommend Sutton Place.
This was my third time staying at Sutton Place and love staying here. Great location, clean rooms, comfortable beds, friendly/helpful staff. However, I don't recommend eating breakfast at the restaurant, pretty spendy for what you get. Maybe the buffet is the better way to go. Parking is spendy but hotel usually has a deal that helps cover the cost of parking. But this is my hotel of choice when I come to Vancouver!
First the service at Sutton Place was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is also great. Unfortunately the hotel itself is outdated and the rooms are in need of an upgrade. The price was very reasonable, but it would be nice to see this hotel receive a much needed makeover.
We were pleased with the location of this Hotel as it is only a 10 minute downhill walk from Canada Place from where the Cruise Ships depart. Our room was clean and comfortable. The Hotel is very close to the main shopping area and across the road we were able to catch the Hop-on Hop-off Trolley Tour.
It is central to all downtown activities and the staff are friendly,and helpful. The restaurant is great with always a little chef's surprise. We also enjoy the pool which has good hours for use. I have stayed with friends and family and for business and never been disappointed.
Summary
The hotel was clean and reasonably priced. The hotel does need a makeover and would improve if some of the charges were lowered. This hotel is located in a really great area with a really handy walk to the shopping area and restaurants, as well as a convention centre nearby. The rooms are spacious and flawlessly clean with everything available that you could possibly need. The bed was unbelievably comfortable and provide a great night's sleep. The hotel is a little bit outdated and in need of a bit of an upgrade though. The hotel had an expensive breakfast however overall the food is great. The pool at the hotel is open for a good amount of time for guests. There is also parking available which is a bit expensive, but the hotel can help out with it.

Convenient walk to shops, restaurants and the stunningly beautiful Vancouver Convention Centre. Very, very comfortable bed. (No back pain, yay!)
We stayed here for 5 nights in a grand suite. The rooms were lovely - plenty of room for three of us, beautiful views, very quiet. We had wi-fi and continental breakfast included in our rate - the wi-fi worked flawlessly and the morning pastries were delicious. Service in this hotel is top rate - the concierges helped us with car rental, spa and restaurant reservations. And the location couldn't be better. We were able to walk everywhere downtown. We highly recommend Sutton Place.
This was my third time staying at Sutton Place and love staying here. Great location, clean rooms, comfortable beds, friendly/helpful staff. However, I don't recommend eating breakfast at the restaurant, pretty spendy for what you get. Maybe the buffet is the better way to go. Parking is spendy but hotel usually has a deal that helps cover the cost of parking. But this is my hotel of choice when I come to Vancouver!
First the service at Sutton Place was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is also great. Unfortunately the hotel itself is outdated and the rooms are in need of an upgrade. The price was very reasonable, but it would be nice to see this hotel receive a much needed makeover.
We were pleased with the location of this Hotel as it is only a 10 minute downhill walk from Canada Place from where the Cruise Ships depart. Our room was clean and comfortable. The Hotel is very close to the main shopping area and across the road we were able to catch the Hop-on Hop-off Trolley Tour.
It is central to all downtown activities and the staff are friendly,and helpful. The restaurant is great with always a little chef's surprise. We also enjoy the pool which has good hours for use. I have stayed with friends and family and for business and never been disappointed.
Summary
The price of this hotel is okay but it feels somewhat dated and needs an overall makeover. That said, the place is clean. The hotel is situated close to the Vancouver Convention Centre and 10 minutes from Canada Place where you can catch a cruise ship. The rooms of the hotel were very nice and spacious, with stunning views of the surrounding area. The morning pastries and buffet was pretty good here at the hotel. There was a great pool to use for hours, which is great. There is a deal to help out with the somewhat pricey parking, too, if you're thinking of using a car here.

I travel to Vancouver regularly on business and always stay at the Sutton Place Hotel. It is truly a top end hotel from the well appointed lobby, excellent restaurant, beautiful guest suites and most important of all 5 star pulse customer service. Every staff member greets you with a pleasant smile and no request is considered too small. I stay in La Grande Residence where the one and two bedroom fully equipped suites make your stay, wether it is only a few days or a couple of weeks, relaxed and stress-free. The staff are so customer oriented that they always greet yu by name when you call the front desk and make you feel welcome on arrival by saying "Welcome back to the Sutton Place". The beds are very comfortable, you get an excellent sleep. The hotel is the preferred location for many Hollywood actors and crew shooting in Vancouver but the hotel staff treat every guest just as if they were an Oscar winner!
Sutton Place hotel was a great stay! The location at Burrard and Robson makes it super convenient for shopping and eating - lots of great locations around. Service was spot-on from all the staff. The hotel is a bit old but everything was still clean and renovated. Rooms were roomy and beds really comfortable. I only have 2 complaints - the parking is outrageous (40$ per night), and the hotel charges for internet (20$ per day). I think the hotel would be much better value if they would eliminate or lower some of these charges! Can definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in downtown Vancouver!

Summary
This reasonably priced hotel may be older and may need a makeover but the restaurant is great and it does have beautiful suites. Some of the charges could stand to be dropped to improve the hotel experience but it is not disappointing here. Perfect location as it is walking distance to all amenities and major attractions in the area. The rooms at this hotel are very clean and the beds in particular are very comfortable; perfect for a good night's sleep. They are also spacious and fully equipped for your stay, making the visit relaxed and stress-free, however they are in need of an upgrade. The food at this hotel is delicious, and is particularly pricey if you choose to eat in the restaurant as opposed to the buffet style breakfast on offer. Great facilities on site at this hotel, and although the parking can be quite expensive, a deal is usually provided to help with the cost.

We stayed at L'Hermitage in Aug. 2008, just two months after it opened. It is a very sleek, modern hotel in a great location in downtown Vancouver. Because it was so new, the staff seemed to still be figuring things out. For example, we weren't able to check into our room the first night for over an hour after the guaranteed check-in time. To make up for this, the staff comped a round of drinks for us at their wonderful guest lounge on the 5th floor. The website did not do this place justice . there's a beautiful rooftop pool and hot tub and the rooms are large and luxuorious. Very nice breakfast and afternoon h'or doeurve buffets are included in the price. The staff was very friendly and made sure that all of our needs were met. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to be pampered in Vancouver!
We will use this again. We stayed on 3 separate occasions in quick succession. The staff were always helpful, charming and friendly, the rooms elegant and spacious (wonderful bathrooms) and the location was great, particularly if you are flying in (2 blocks down from Vancouver City Centre station on the Canada Line. Don't even think about a cab, on a Sunday when there is no $5 surcharge it cost under $6 for my wife and me to get to the airport. Heathrow and London Underground hang your heads in shame). Treat yourself to the $17.50 breakfast buffet, it must be the best "posh" value in Vancouver !
We are a family of 5 and had an extremely comfortable 4 night stay in their 2 bedroom suite. Kudos to Jean-michel & Hippo, Raymond, Elaisha, Mitch and a super housekeeping team for being so helpful and friendly. We felt most at home and strongly recommend to all who plan to visit Vancouver. Great location with Japadog and Viet-Sub eateries and Sears, Hudson Bay, Holt Renfrew nearby. Easy access to the main attractions. The team deserves a great pat on their backs for their great work attitude. Special thanks to Jean-michel for going out of your way for us.
This is a really great hotel - near new, small boutique style, great rooms more like small apartments with full kitchens. Fantastic pool and sun deck. Not a gripe, but you should know this hotel does not have room service - wasn't an issue for me, but may be for some travellers. great location - close to everything! Really reasonably priced compared to the other hotel i stayed in during my stay in Vanvouver.
My stay at L'Hermitage exceeded that of any other I have ever had in Vancouver. I have stayed at many of the better hotels downtown while visiting this great city over the past 15 years. The staff were extraordinarily friendly and helpful without being overbearing. A great experience I will be recommending to friends, family and business colleagues. Thank you L'Hermitage.
The front desk was fantastic. Check in and check out were a breeze as they let me spend more time with my family and getting to the wedding. It was the perfect end to our wedding night, the room was top notch! Thanks!
The amenities, breakfast buffet and service at this hotel are excellent. Concierge helped us reserve a table at a great restaurant nearby (Goldfish) and we used the bikes to see Stanley Park.
If and when I visit Canada again this hotel will be a definite. It is great!
Summary
You will want to come back again and again to this hotel because it exceeds any other hotels in the city. The staff have a professional attitude, although due to it being a new venue some of the staff need a bit more time to develop. However, we were provided a complimentary round of drinks by staff due to this. The hotel provides a good breakfast and also an afternoon hor d'oeuvres buffet. The staff also provided a complimentary round of drinks by way of an apology. The hotel was a very good price and exceeded expectations set out by the website.

Summary
This hotel is the best in Vancouver. This hotel provides really good access to main attractions that are nearby. This hotel has lovely large rooms that felt very luxurious. The housekeeping staff who were all excellent. It seemed like some wrinkles were still being ironed out because this is still a new hotel but check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. This hotel provides a really nice breakfast as well as an afternoon buffet that's included in the price, so it's definitely recommended to take advantage of this. The pricing compared to other hotels makes this a really reasonable hotel.

Summary
This hotel is of average quality, but worth the visit. This hotel is central to some of the major attractions in this area. The rooms here are large and very comfortable. The hotel is relatively new and the housekeeping team was friendly and helpful and everyone had a great attitude. The hotel offers a nice breakfast and buffet inclusive in the costs, a lovely guest lounge to enjoy drinks and nearby restaurants. A very well priced hotel in comparison to others in this area. It is even better to look at in person than on it's website.

- First thing is the location, no need for public transport, we could walk from hotel to anywhere. - No need for the expencive hotel breakfast 'cause in the walking distance of 20-50 meters on the Rembrandt square there are cheaper places to eat. - We got a deal in the hotel and got one night for free. - In the same walking distance- on the rembrandt square- there are couple of clubs. I remember one was awesome, one was terrible, and in the third we couldn't enter, the tickets were sold out. And there is a great coffeshop just by the entrance of hotel :D - Very clean, tidy and a safe hotel for reasonable price. -I'm definintely sleeping there again and recommending it to friends.
Me and my boyfriend stayed here as a 30th Birthday treat and had a great time. The room was immaculate, and the bed amazingly comfortable to the point that we did not leave it until lunch time on the first morning! And was just as hard on day two. Great location too. We paid for a cab from Central St on arrival but felt rather ripped of as it was a20 and was only a 5 minute ride. On the way back we caught a tram which was much cheaper (actually it was free as we did not realise you had to pay the driver when you got on!) and just as quick. Would definitely recommend this hotel and will hopefully be going back in the near future!
the room was very small, but that's not the biggest problem - the receptionists were. the wifi at the lobby was very slow and the receptionists didnt even know how guests can log on (user name, password and patience required). but the worst was a french-speaking tall male receptionist who was extremely rude and made it very clear that he didnt like being asked about how to connect to the internet. he made condescending remarks in french about american tourists (and i'm not even american!). the carpet is filthy and so is the hotel's surroundings - noisy, crowded, and the street is disgusting after rain.
I booked this hotel after reading reviews on this site and Expedia, with a real priority for me being its cleanliness and quietness. It didn't disappoint on either count and had the added bonus of being in an excellent location - far enough away from the slightly too brash touristy bits but near enough as not to be a long walk from anywhere useful. The modern room was nice and the bathroom was excellent, although some might be surprised at the European practice of having no shower curtain so the bathroom floor gets a bit wet. I'd definitely book here again.
The Hotel is perfectly placed for both travel and entertainment on the edge of Rembrandt Square. It is within very easy walking distance to everywhere in Central Amsterdam, but sufficiently on the edge for it to be quiet at night. It has a first class seafood Bistro if you wish to eat in. It's main clientele are business and corporate, which should tell you a lot about the overall quality and respect this hotel has. This has been my hotel of choice, even when travelling privately to Amsterdam with family.
A good hotel bang in the centre of Amsterdam. Rooms are clean and modern and I will be staying there again. A couple of things to note: My room had mosquitos (common for AMS this summer), they were fully booked so could not give me another room but did eventually find some fly spay so problem solved. Breakfast is expensive at EUR15, just take a walk down the street and have a better breakfast in one of the cafes.
We found our room the be of nice size and bothe the room and bath were easy to navigate in a wheelchair. The beds were compfortable and the room were nicely appointed. The staff was most helpful with directions and other touristy information. The food in the restaurant's food was quite good with a nice selection. We would recommend the Eden Rembrandt Square as our stay was quite good.
The location of the hotel is excellent. Its 5 mins from the Waterlooplein metro station and hence easily accessible. Room service was mediocre - the staff came to clean the room once in 3 days in spite of a reminder. Hotel rooms were of good size.
Summary
The hotel is great and provides a safe place to stay. It is a favourite with guests. The hotel is close to the metro line and Rembrandt Square and away from the louder tourist areas. The room was quite small at this hotel but it was quite modern and clean. Everything was wheelchair-accessible which was fantastic, even if there was no shower curtain and it left the bathroom floor somewhat wet. The staff at the front desk were unhelpful to guests. The hotel provides a fantastic selection of food in their seafood bistro. The WiFi in the hotel lobby is very slow. The carpet was dirty and the exterior of the hotel is noisy and overcrowded.

This is a recommendable and respectable hotel for a great time whether you're travelling alone, with a partner, or with the family. The hotel is situated in a perfect location and is very accessible via the metro station that is only five minutes away. Adding to the great location is the fact that there are plenty of entertainment options very close-by. The rooms in the hotel were modern and well appointed. Both the room and the bathroom were easily accessible for wheelchair users too. Some of the staff was really rude. There is a great seafood bistro at the hotel. The hotel's carpets are absolutely filthy and the surroundings do not help with this vibe - it was crowded and noisy and after it rains the street is really disgusting.

Summary
A great hotel to stay at, it is central to the city centre of Amsterdam, yet still at a very reasonable price. With the hotel being only five minutes from the metro station access to travel and entertainment near Rembrandt Square or you can simply walk to most places. The rooms are very nice with great bathrooms. and the beds are so comfortable. Some rooms are on the small side and some are wheelchair friendly. Particularly rude member of staff on the reception desk that is very unhelpful. This hotel has a great seafood bistro restauraunt. Although there is Wi-Fi available at this hotel, it can be very slow and the staff aren't the most efficient at helping guests log in. The hotel is also quite dirty, particularly the carpets, and it can get very noisy and crowded in places.

Located on the Herengracht, one of the old canal rings encircling the city, the Ambassade is beautifully decorated - we were open-mouthed at the quality of the furnishings. And it was staffed with friendly, knowledgeable, multilingual employees. The location was perfect - we were within walking distance of museums, the Dam, the Red Light District, the Begjinhof, great restaurants and bars (we loved the Five Flies just around the corner, built in 1634). The breakfast was sumptuous, but seemed a bit pricey, so we only tried it once. WE stayed for 3 nights, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Stayed in this hotel on Saturday night for a very brief visit to the City. The staff at reception were exceptionally, kind and help and just couldn't do enough for us. Joost Van Der Kwaak led the charge here and was amazing. The rooms are divine, very large and beautifully decorated - the most comfortable beds and pillows - we even managed to get a room with a superb view over the canal. I loved the fact that everything is within walking distance - the museums, flower market etc. Will definitely go back. Yes it's a little pricey but well worth every penny!
We stayed there for around 5 days in April of this year and would definitely stay there again if finances allow. The staff was very friendly and professional. The room was very nice and clean. We had a room overlooking the canal so that made it even nicer. Free wireless internet in the room. Nice clean bathroom. Comfortable bed. The location is also great, it was pretty much walking distance from everything we wanted to do. It was pretty expensive, but I do believe you get what you pay for - high quality! No complaints at all.
The staff was amazingly handy in every aspect. I simply found the hotel in Trip Advisor, never heard about. They rent bicycles themselves, so you are not attached to the time of rental stores. For example you can return the bike in the middle of dawn. Nice and stylish rooms. They upgraded me to a better room with canal view. They respond to all e-mails, request. They are 100%.
Spent a night at this very comfortable hotel. One of the most comfortable rooms I have ever been in. Everything is perfect. Hotel is centrally located bu quiet. Just be careful ate at night to remember which side of the canal the hotel is on, if you forget, you may be wandering around for a while. Free Internet and a printer too if you need it.
Right in the center, close (walking distance) to everything you had to see in Amsterdam, bathroom is very, very clean. Rooms are spacious with free internet access if you have a laptop (there is also a free access near the front desk) and.excellent breakfast! PS: The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful
We are fussy and can't think of anything critical to say about this hotel. Service, cleanliness, room size, breakfast, location and everything else were wonderful and, considering the quality, the cost was quite reasonable.

Summary
The stay at the hotel was quite expensive, but absolutely worth the cost. No complaints. The view from the room was great because it overlooked the canal. The wireless internet in the room was free, which is really useful. Even better though is that the rooms are luxurious and decorated to a lovely standard. All of the staff were lovely because they were friendly but professional at the same time. They were clearly very knowledgeable, which was just wonderful. The hotel provided free internet services and also the use of a printer too if needed.

Located on the Herengracht, one of the old canal rings encircling the city, the Ambassade is beautifully decorated - we were open-mouthed at the quality of the furnishings. And it was staffed with friendly, knowledgeable, multilingual employees. The location was perfect - we were within walking distance of museums, the Dam, the Red Light District, the Begjinhof, great restaurants and bars (we loved the Five Flies just around the corner, built in 1634). The breakfast was sumptuous, but seemed a bit pricey, so we only tried it once. WE stayed for 3 nights, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Stayed in this hotel on Saturday night for a very brief visit to the City. The staff at reception were exceptionally, kind and help and just couldn't do enough for us. Joost Van Der Kwaak led the charge here and was amazing. The rooms are divine, very large and beautifully decorated - the most comfortable beds and pillows - we even managed to get a room with a superb view over the canal. I loved the fact that everything is within walking distance - the museums, flower market etc. Will definitely go back. Yes it's a little pricey but well worth every penny!
We stayed there for around 5 days in April of this year and would definitely stay there again if finances allow. The staff was very friendly and professional. The room was very nice and clean. We had a room overlooking the canal so that made it even nicer. Free wireless internet in the room. Nice clean bathroom. Comfortable bed. The location is also great, it was pretty much walking distance from everything we wanted to do. It was pretty expensive, but I do believe you get what you pay for - high quality! No complaints at all.
The staff was amazingly handy in every aspect. I simply found the hotel in Trip Advisor, never heard about. They rent bicycles themselves, so you are not attached to the time of rental stores. For example you can return the bike in the middle of dawn. Nice and stylish rooms. They upgraded me to a better room with canal view. They respond to all e-mails, request. They are 100%.
Spent a night at this very comfortable hotel. One of the most comfortable rooms I have ever been in. Everything is perfect. Hotel is centrally located bu quiet.

Summary
This hotel is a little bit pricey however it is well worth it and there is nothing at all to complain about. The location is ideal for those wanting to sight see, as everything is in walking distance from the hotel. The room in the hotel was very spacious and was overlooking the canal. Free wireless internet is also provided for guests. The staff were amiable and very professional, with a number of them able to speak different languages. The hotel offers free internet and also a printer if required.

Summary
Although it is quite an expensive hotel, it is great value for money as it is of high quality and makes for a really comfortable stay. For ease of sightseeing this hotel's location is perfect. All within walking distances are the Dam, museums, the Begjinhot, restaurants and bars and the Red Light District. The room was spacious and overlooking the canal and very comfortable beds. It also came with free internet access. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel does offer free internet and if you need it you can use their printer.
Reviews
Terrible disappointment Maybe a 1 or 2 star, but NOT 4! The staff was exceptional. Very helpful and thoughtful.The rooms were a disappointment. They are all run down (at least the 3 we saw), items are missing and not replaced, i.e. soap dishes, etc. The carpeting is torn and worn. The Air conditioners barely work, and are rusty and noisy. All the rooms we saw smell from odor. We had to pay to Upgrade to the top floor to get a halfway decent room, which is still 2 star in my opinion. The elevator is not large enough for a surfboard to fit in it (kind of ironic don't you think), so you have to leave your board in a lockup room in the lobby.
Great little hotel! We stayed here for two days before leaving the islands after getting married on Kaua`i in August, 2004. We booked with the Entertainment Card discount, so the price ?even with daily parking ?was great. I prefer being at the eastern end of Waikiki (where the Beachside is) and it's proximity to the beach itself, right ACROSS THE STREET, is perfect. The room was small but nice. Upon hearing that we just got married, the desk clerk upgraded us to a full ocean view room and sent up a split of champagne ?a very nice touch. Needless to say, the view was spectacular and we enjoyed having a glass of wine on the balcony before heading out to dinner both nights.
Would recommend this hotel. We stayed at this hotel in October of 2005 for 7 days. The hotel was small but we knew that when we made our reservations. We found that the stafff was extremely helpful and gave us advice on the various activities that we should participate in and would help us to sign up for them. If your looking for full on resort than this is not your place but it was perfect for what we needed. The rooms are small and there is no pool on site. Being across the street from the beach we wouldn't have used the pool anyways. We thought that is was in the perfect location, we were able to walk to everything. I would recommend this hotel and would also stay here again.
Fab Location Literally across the road from Waikik beach, easy walk to all Waikik has to offer. Understand hotel has recently been bought by Aqua chain and looks as if it will be undergoing renovation in the near future - scaffolding all around hotel during my stay with workmen there friom 9 - 5. Interior does need updating and is rather worn and dated - however, location compensates for this.Breakfast is a bit of a joke though and unless you are there when it goes out forget it, my 1st morning there I arrived at about 8.15am to be told there was nothing left! Even when there there is food left it's poor quality muffins only.
Great Staff, superb location - will be back ! First time visit to Hawaii - this hotel's location could not be beaten - just cross the road and you are on Waikiki beach and the International Market Place is a few yards down the road. Staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to help. Rooms are spotlessly clean - will definitely stay there again without hesitation.
Very oriental The rooms are not large, but decorated beautifullly with antiques. Breakfast in the atrium with the Kona coffee was great. Short walk across the stree to the beach. I would recommed it to anyone.
Excellent for the price This was taken from the beach, the brown building to the left of the blue signed building is the
Small room.Great view View from the balcony.
Summary
This is a really great little hotel. It isn't a full-on resort but it was nice all the same. There are many things to do within walking distance. The hotel rooms are smaller, but clean and furnished well with antiques for some charm. The breakfast at the hotel was adequate. The coffee was great. There were some items missing and there was a run-down feel here. The carpeting did not help with the worn-down atmosphere. The elevators weren't that big either meaning a surfboard could not even fit in it.

Summary
This hotel is currently undergoing renovations so the outside is an eyesore. Air conditioners are outdated and not well maintained too. There are great sights to visit nearby. Some of the rooms were small but nice, others smelled a bit so an upgrade may be necessary to get a nicer experience. The nicer rooms were very clean and decorated beautifully. The breakfast in the atrium is superb when there is enough food for everyone. The rooms could do with some upgrading as some of the carpet has been worn down. Items are sometimes missing from the rooms and the elevator is not big enough for a surfboard.

Summary
This is a great hotel with nice touches but not a full resort some might look for. It appeared to be having renovation work as there was scaffolding and workmen there. Also, the AC barely worked and was noisy. The hotel is within walking distance to everything such as the International Market Place. Whilst clean and pretty nice the rooms aren't large at all and a little disappointing. Breakfast is average, but it can be enjoyed next to the indoor atrium for guests to enjoy. The carpet is in need of replacement and items in the room such as soap dishes were missing. The elevators were too small as well.
Reviews
great place We got back a week ago from a week long stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I read some of the reviews before we left, and cannot understand what all of the complaining was for from some of the reviews that I read. We had an absolutely great time. The hotel was completely booked (President's Week), and we estimated that with 3,000 rooms, there were approximately 10,000 guests that week, but you would never know it. You did need to go down early to get a lounger by the superpool, but that was nothing to complain about. The staff was courteous, the rooms were terrific and the view was to die for! The hotel grounds are beautiful and there really is no reason to leave the hotel grounds. We did go on day journeys but also enjoyed the days sitting by the pool or on the beach (which just happens to be the best part of Waikiki Beach.) I would go back to this hotel in a heartbeat and would recommend it without hesitation.
There's no place like HHV! Just returned from our third visit to Hawaii and the Hilton Hawaiian Village (March 7-13). I cannot imagine staying anywhere other than HHV. It is like visiting an old and cherished friend. Our last two visits have been spent in the Ali Tower and the staff there is wonderful. You can quickly become spoiled to the twice a day maid service and the nightly turn-down service. You would have a wonderful vacation if you never left the Village. Everything you can possibly need or want is there. I even look forward to the almost daily trips to the ABC store! Just steps away from the beach, HHV is truly a part of paradise!
Excellent Stay Spent only 1 night in the Kahlia tower on the executive floor. I found the staff to be top notch, very friendly and professional. The room in the Kahlia tower was newly built and very luxurious, with a small patio and a great view out to sea. The resort is very large with many shops and a great selection of restaurants. We chose to leave the property and go next door for dinner to Kobe Steakhouse, well worth the walk. Over all this is a great resort for either a stop over before your Hawaiian vacation or even a week long visit. Expect resort prices for food and drink, but good quality.
Best Hotel on Waikiki Beach! This is my second stay at this hotel. The service is wonderful and they have the nicest, cleanest and widest beach. They try their best to accommodate all guests' requests in spite of being one of the busiest hotels in the area! A wide choice of restaurants and shops. If you have the $$, would definitely recommend it. There's no other hotel like the HHV on Waikiki Beach!
disappointing Was on the 31st floor of the Rainbow tower. Decor and furnishings are right from the 1970s. Walls are paper-thin - was kept awake by a crying baby next door. Hot water took about 20 mins to arrive. Extractor fan in the ceiling was full of hair. If I had been paying any more than the conference rate, I'd be upset! Very disappointing
loved it We stayed only one night after staying on Maui and loved it. The hotel was expensive but we were on the waikiki side on a high floor and the view was incredible. Worth it!

Summary
A great stay at this hotel and will keep coming back. It can get really busy here but you wouldn't know it. The rooms in the hotel were luxurious but the walls were very thin. The hotel has good access to lots of local restaurants with a wide variety of choice available. There were some great aspect to this hotel such as the super-pool, although it is recommended you head down for a lounger quite early but this isn't a big deal.

Summary
The hotel is very large and can accommodate thousands of guests but it still has that personal touch. It has a lot of shops and a selection of restaurants to attend. A perfect venue for those on their way through Hawaii. Whilst luxurious unfortunately the room has walls that are paper-thin. There is a nice view out to the sea however. You will feel spoiled by the twice-daily maid service provided. There is a good selection of restaurants available at the hotel. It is worth noting that you need to get down to the pool early if you would like a lounger, but it is worth doing.

Summary
This is one of the busiest hotels on Waikiki beach. During a fully booked 'President's Week' it was busy but did not seem over crowded. The rooms are very luxurious that include stunning views from the small patio. However, the walls are thin so it does get quite noisy. The service provided is exceptional day and night. The hotel offers a choice of restaurants. Get down to the pool early to get a lounger for a day at the pool or get away on a day journey or spend a day at the beach.

Like the other reviewers, I have to say this hotel is close to perfect. The rooms aren't as large as I would have liked (we were upgraded for an 8 night stay from a deluxe to one of the Richard Meier ultra-modern rooms on the two "executive" floors). I had been to Rome once before and, on the recommendation of friends, stayed in a fancy hotel on the Via Veneto. The Via Veneto area is sterile and not fun and we didn't really enjoy our stay there. But the Raphael, just off Piazza Navona in the historical center, is a whole other story. You walk out the door and you're right there, in the midst of everything. As befits a Relais & Chateaux hotel, everything is elegant and the staff and service are the best. Really, the only problem is paying the bill at the end!
Our second stay here in 12 months and the service from this hotel is enough to make me want to return to Rome, just so I can stay here again! The location is second to none and we have been able to walk to all the main sights from here. We have stayed in three different rooms at this hotel and they have all been fabulous. The buffet breakfast is very good and the rooftop is a pleasant area to enjoy a drink or two after a long day of sight seeing. We were left 'tasty treats' on our room every day and we love the adjustable beds.The staff at the front desk are very helpful and friendly and the doorman was a delight! Hopefully we'll see you again next year!
We stayed at the Raphael for 3 nights and we had an enjoyable stay there. Upon arrival we were upgraded to one of the newly renovated Richard Meier rooms, which was very nice, with a spacious bathroom and clever use of the available space. The hotel corridors could benefit from a decoration as they were a bit plain, and the elevator needs a small facelift, but nonetheless it was fuctional and the guest doesn't spend any time there. Breakfast was quite good, especially for Italy, and the location just off piazza Navona, ideal. The only downside is the staff, which while friendly and kind, didn't go beyond their duties for advice etc.
Hotel Raphael is absolutely gorgeous! It is very comfortable, clean and quiet. A reasonable journey from Campiano Airport should cost you no more than 40 euro. Our sheets were changed every day and the delicious chocolates on our bed every night were fantastic. The Bulgari toiletries smell gorgeous so enjoyed several long soaks in the bath. Breakfast is amazing, made extra special by starting the day with a refreshing 'Bucks Fizz' Everything about the hotel is perfect the staff are very courteous and are most helpful. Would highly recommend and would most definately visit again. - Mike and Alison
A beautiful hotel in a very bustling area of Rome. You expect everything to be perfect at an R&C but this is an entire staff taking service to whole new level. Arrangements for cars, tours and restaurants via email.way before you get there. Thanks Anna. A glass of prosecco delivered anywhere in the hotel at the direction of Stephen in the restaurant. I can't say enough about this hotel
Selected hotel via Australian website. Very good value. Great location - could walk to all main places and sights in Rome. Brekky was a good size buffet and on roof top garden at level 6. Rooms not huge but good and nice bathroom. Wifi worked and was free. Loved having pre-dinner wine on roof top while seeing the sun go down on St Peter's basilica.
Highly recommend Hotel Raphael as it was perfect for my solo holiday. Hotel Staff were excellent in making my stay comfortable. The hotel is perfectly situated in Piazza Navona so close to dining and shopping and of course historic sites.
We were upgraded to a suite upon our arrival, and it only got better each day. The location is perfect for accessing all the historic sights on foot, and there were tons of fantastic restaurants right nearby.
Summary
The hotel is tranquil and clean and overall an enjoyable place to stay whilst in Rome. The hotel is close to a number of local restaurants and the busier areas of Rome. The rooms in the hotel are adequate with spacious bathrooms. The staff leave a chocolate on the beds each night for their guests. The buffet breakfast was very good. The hotel's corridors were quite plain and could benefit from some decoration. The free Wi-Fi worked well and the Bulgari toiletries smelled lovely.

Like the other reviewers, I have to say this hotel is close to perfect. The rooms aren't as large as I would have liked (we were upgraded for an 8 night stay from a deluxe to one of the Richard Meier ultra-modern rooms on the two "executive" floors). I had been to Rome once before and, on the recommendation of friends, stayed in a fancy hotel on the Via Veneto. The Via Veneto area is sterile and not fun and we didn't really enjoy our stay there. But the Raphael, just off Piazza Navona in the historical center, is a whole other story. You walk out the door and you're right there, in the midst of everything. As befits a Relais & Chateaux hotel, everything is elegant and the staff and service are the best. Really, the only problem is paying the bill at the end!
Our second stay here in 12 months and the service from this hotel is enough to make me want to return to Rome, just so I can stay here again! The location is second to none and we have been able to walk to all the main sights from here. We have stayed in three different rooms at this hotel and they have all been fabulous. The buffet breakfast is very good and the rooftop is a pleasant area to enjoy a drink or two after a long day of sight seeing. We were left 'tasty treats' on our room every day and we love the adjustable beds.The staff at the front desk are very helpful and friendly and the doorman was a delight! Hopefully we'll see you again next year!
We stayed at the Raphael for 3 nights and we had an enjoyable stay there. Upon arrival we were upgraded to one of the newly renovated Richard Meier rooms, which was very nice, with a spacious bathroom and clever use of the available space. The hotel corridors could benefit from a decoration as they were a bit plain, and the elevator needs a small facelift, but nonetheless it was fuctional and the guest doesn't spend any time there. Breakfast was quite good, especially for Italy, and the location just off piazza Navona, ideal. The only downside is the staff, which while friendly and kind, didn't go beyond their duties for advice etc.
Hotel Raphael is absolutely gorgeous! It is very comfortable, clean and quiet. A reasonable journey from Campiano Airport should cost you no more than 40 euro. Our sheets were changed every day and the delicious chocolates on our bed every night were fantastic. The Bulgari toiletries smell gorgeous so enjoyed several long soaks in the bath. Breakfast is amazing, made extra special by starting the day with a refreshing 'Bucks Fizz' Everything about the hotel is perfect the staff are very courteous and are most helpful. Would highly recommend and would most definately visit again. - Mike and Alison
A beautiful hotel in a very bustling area of Rome. You expect everything to be perfect at an R&C but this is an entire staff taking service to whole new level. Arrangements for cars, tours and restaurants via email.way before you get there. Thanks Anna. A glass of prosecco delivered anywhere in the hotel at the direction of Stephen in the restaurant.

Summary
The hotel is peaceful, spotless and comfortable enough. The hotel's location is unbeatable and great if you like the hustle and bustle. You will be able to walk to main places in the city including great historical locations as well as some nice restaurants. The rooms in this hotel are always really nice and have good bathrooms as well. The sheets are always clean and there are delicious chocolates provided on the bed each night. There was the option to have pre-dinner wine while watching the sunset, which was lovely. There was free WiFi as well as gorgeous toiletries provided, which made for lovely soaks in the bathtub. The decoration in the corridors needed a little bit of updating but otherwise facilities were great.

Summary
The hotel is in the Via Veneto area and is comfortable and quiet with clean rooms. The location of this hotel in Rome is great. It is close enough to the attractions of Rome to walk to most and there are plenty of really nice places to eat nearby as well. Some of the rooms are on the small side but an upgrade to one of the newly renovated suites will sort this issue. they are spacious and modern and very nice. You can start your day with a very nice buffet breakfast in the morning or having wine before dinner while watching the sun setting on the hotel's rooftop. This hotel has access to many amenities, including free Wi-Fi. Although some of the decor could do with being updated, it's got everything that's needed for a good stay.
Reviews
Stayed here for 4 nights with my partner in August '09. The hotel is located 50m around the corner from the famous Campo De 'Fiori which is a wonderful area for eating and drinking as well as having great nightlife. The room itself was beautifully done in a period setting. Bed was large and aircon was fine. Staff extremely passionate and friendly about when and where to see the sights. Location is excellent as only a 5 minute walk to the piazza navona, 10 min walk to the trevi fountain and pantheon and 15 min walk to Vaticano and Colosseum. Also only a 10 min walk to the river and the wonderful trastevere area of eating/nightlife. There is a viewing deck above the top floor which is great to relax and have a few drinks and offers a really nice view of the area as well which was a bonus! No complaints whatsoever here, had a wonderful stay!
I can't say enough about the wonderful Hotel Campo De Fiori! The location is perfect for sight seeing in Rome. The rooms are typical European sized but beautiful and well-appointed. I was a little concerned about potential noise from the nearby square but with my windows shut I didn't hear a peep. The photos on the web site are accurate and the roof-top deck is a dream! The breakfast was ample with excellent coffee. The best thing about the hotel is the amazing staff - Valentina, Matteo, Barbara, Gabriele, Angelo, Adam, Andrea & Andrew - not only efficient and well-versed on the city, they were kind hearted and lovely. They bent over backwards to make my stay truly special and I can't wait to return!
My wife and I visited Rome for the first time this past November, and we couldn't be happier with our stay at Hotel Campo de Fiori. The location of the hotel is perfect, 5 minute walk to most of the sites, 20 minute walk to the Vatican City and 20 minutes the other way to the Coliseum. The hotel staff is extremely helpful and make good recommendations on restaurants (La Scalla and The Library were two of our favorites, and will go back for sure to both). The rooms were smaller - but they were loaded with character and the bathrooms were superb.
After our port intensive Med cruise it was a relief to have such a haven as this hotel to unwind for three nights. We loved our top floor room with it's own terrace and the access to the fabulous large rooftop terrace was right outside our door. The terrace was not only a great 360 degree view of the historic area of Rome but it was such a great social place to join others over wine in the hours leading up to sunset. Magic. The staff is so helpful and made us feel so welcome there. Highly recommend this boutique hotel.
If you are looking for a place with a central location and superb roofterrace and don't mind being ripped off, this is it. All you need to overlook is the dreadfull breakfast (for instance, the cheese had never seen a cow and the orange juice looks radio-active), the claustrophobic rooms and lack of any extras cq basics in the room (water, toilettries, etc.) that you might expect for the price they charge.
Thank you very much for your hospitality while we stayed with you during Aug 1 - 4, 2008. My wiffe and I were extremely pleased with the hospitable staff, general cleanliness, quiet rooms, delicious breakfast and all. The overall experience at your hotel was very good and this made Rome even better for us. We would look forward to coming back to Rome to stay in the Hotel Campo de' Fiori. Thank you.
Great hotel with very kind and very helpful personnel. The roof garden is absolutely great! Very nice view over Rome. The rooms are lovely! The location is perfect: at the Campo de' Fiori and near the ancient centre of Rome.
I would so recommend this hotel for the location, the accomodations, the friendliness of the staff and the amazing roof garden. I thank Travel Advisors for sending us in the right direction in the first place
Summary
The hospitality here at this hotel was so lovely and made the stay really good. There's nothing at all to complain about and cannot recommend this place enough. Everything is so close to this hotel that it's perfect based on location alone. Historical sites aren't too far by foot and places to eat and drink are only 50 metres away, with the river nearby too. The rooms are bursting with character and really lovely with period decoration and style. The bed was large so that is a bonus. Many of staff members were able to provide detailed information about the city and ideas for what to do and where. The hotel provided a breakfast to guests that was adequate, but with a superb coffee available. The top-deck roof garden is really spectacular and live up to the photos provided on the website.

Summary
The fantastic stay at the hotel made Rome even more pleasurable and they went out of their way to make the visit special. The hotel is located in the centre of Rome round the corner from the Campo de' Fiori. It is a 20 minute walk to Vatican City and 20 minutes to the Colosseum. The rooms in the hotel were perfectly adequate. They are in a European period style and furnished well. The bed was a good size and there was air con available in the room. Despite the sometimes noisy square nearby, nothing could be heard in the room. All staff members were approachable and kind despite being a wealth of knowledge. The breakfast was filling and plentiful, as well as some great coffee to go along with it. The hotel's roof garden is fantastic and the hotel is exactly as pictured on their website.

Summary
The experience at Hotel Campo de ' Fiori was very special and wonderful. The location at this hotel is great for sight seeing. It is near Campo de ' Fiori and near central Rome and is great for food and nightlife. Also within walking distance to the river and many other sites including Vatican City or the Coliseum. Lovely rooms, designed beautifully in a period setting. The rooms are typically small in size, however they are loaded with charm and character that makes up for this, and the bathroom is fantastic. Although the location is noisy, you are unable to hear anything with the windows closed. The staff was knowledgeable about the city and the sights. This hotel offers ample breakfast but also drinks are available on the viewing deck, and the coffee is excellent. The hotel's roof garden is great.

Poor quality food. Steak sandwich with mushrooms had mushrooms than steak on it. Steak was stone cold. I asked for a fresh one and it was so so. I didn't finish it. My girlfriends salad was called a 'chopped salad' the lumps of lettuce were never chopped. Barely any chicken in it either. Poor experience
I love this place, everything tastes good and I love the healthy choices. I would prefer a more friendly and professional staff. But I guess all the 'to cool', pierced, tattoo'd people need to act like they don't really give a st # t so everyone knows they are cool.
Loved everything we ordered. We got a beet salad, the teriyaki chicken and forbidden rice bowl, and iced tea. Would definitely return here again in a heartbeat. It was cute, clean and the prices were right. Focus is on healthy eating, which is my favorite!
I've recently found this charming new restaurant although it's been around for many years. I love it. The food is really good and I just had the best service ever from Ezra. She's kind, genuine, informative, real perfection in the restaurant world. And best of all great smile! Keep up the good work chop shop!
Had to go out to eat after eating a salad here. Very expensive which I can deal with if you receive a healthy portion. Could hardly see the quinoa and kale salad it was so puny. R.I.P. off!!!!
Great spot. Went there tonight for the first time. Club sandwich was fantastic. Friendly staff. Comfortable seating. Quiet and inviting. Indulged on some toffee cookies for desert. Milk too !. Everything is fresh and homemade. Very reasonable prices too.
ChopShop is the greatest versatile spot because you could literally eat all three meals of your day at this spot. From the breakfast sandwiches and acai bowls, to the wraps and salads, and finally their protein bowls, ChopShop has it all! My favorites are the Moroccan Turkey Wrap and the Chicken Teriyaki Protein Bowl, you won't be disappointed trying either of these.
Perfect! Real food. Quality choices. Fast. Great service. Not just various combinations of corn, wheat and sugar on the menu. If you only want more of that, go somewhere else. If you want food that will nourish your body, come here. We will definitely be back!
Summary
The beauty of this place is that it has high quality food and the menu has something for everyone anytime of the day. Overall the staff is friendly but depending on the day the wait might be long. For the price, everything is fresh and homemade.

Summary
The restaurant is a small sandwich-and-salad type that emphasizes a more healthy style. The food is generally well-regarded, and the restaurant is clean, has a nice atmosphere, and friendly waitstaff. The restaurant is recommended for those who are interested in healthier, less mainstream ingredients such as kale or quinoa.

Summary
ChopShop restaurant offers a healthy and nutritious variety of dishes. Staff is efficient, warm and friendly but lacks some measure of professionalism. The food quality is about average and the environment is comfortable and inviting. Overall a recommended place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Reviews
Huge place. Not a cozy joint. Booked through OpenTable and it worked perfectly.The service was excellent. Attentive and professional the whole way through. Really impressed. The food was creative and the cocktails were very good. My vegetarian partner had a great meal. My salmon was perfectly cooked.Lot of larger parties around us. Seems like a great spot for events.
The experience lived up to its recommendation. The staff were very knowledgeable, the wine selection was great; recommend a lazy cabreze. So goooood! The seabass was a new edition on the menu and did not disappoint.Had the opportunity to meet the head chef and made us feel right at home.
Came here for summerlicious lunch this year.Food: Albacore tuna sashimi- this was decentCold poached wild salmon - both my guest and I thought this dish was very bland Pana cotta - okayMaple + whiskey marinated cheddar - good The service was great, the servers were very friendly.The food is decent. I would recommend coming here for their regular menu
Their Magic Hour special can't be beat. Strong, tasty cocktails for $6 between 4p-9p.Another consistency after many visits is the staff almost completely ignore you. Be prepared to wait up to half an hour for a server, or stand at the bar for 5 minutes until someone notices you.
Dinner here on Saturday, pre-show. Even though I had to send my steak back because it was undercooked I have to compliment the chef as it was very delicious. Also, the charred octopus is fantastic. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends.
Had diner at Luma a few weeks ago. Food (4.5 / 5) - Pork Tenderloin- Muskox Drinks (4 / 5) - Cool Hand Luke- Chocolate Martini- Fairy TaleService (4.5 / 5) Price (3.5 / 5) Ambiance (4 / 5)
This restaurant has great food. It's well decorated and if you are lucky enough to get a window seat you get to face the CN tower and people watch. The food is delicious. Service can be slow though depending on who you get as a server. Overall great atmosphere and a nice place to eat prior to seeing a show.
Made a yelp account to tell you all just how bad the food was at luma. All 8 of us eating different things from the summerlicous menu were completely dissatisfied with our meals. Bland tasting beef to over salty chicken, and mediocre chocolate whatever it was called for dessert. Avoid wasting ur summer at luma.
Summary
Great views, ambiance and cocktails. However, the wait time can often be longer than average and with a few excellent dishes the food in general tends to be bland and not worth the price. While large parties are welcome the lack of customer service and long waits make for a less than enjoyable experience.

Their Magic Hour special can't be beat. Strong, tasty cocktails for $6 between 4p-9p.Another consistency after many visits is the staff almost completely ignore you. Be prepared to wait up to half an hour for a server, or stand at the bar for 5 minutes until someone notices you.
Dinner here on Saturday, pre-show. Even though I had to send my steak back because it was undercooked I have to compliment the chef as it was very delicious. Also, the charred octopus is fantastic. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends.
Had diner at Luma a few weeks ago. Food (4.5 / 5) - Pork Tenderloin- Muskox Drinks (4 / 5) - Cool Hand Luke- Chocolate Martini- Fairy TaleService (4.5 / 5) Price (3.5 / 5) Ambiance (4 / 5)
This restaurant has great food. It's well decorated and if you are lucky enough to get a window seat you get to face the CN tower and people watch. The food is delicious. Service can be slow though depending on who you get as a server. Overall great atmosphere and a nice place to eat prior to seeing a show.
Made a yelp account to tell you all just how bad the food was at luma. All 8 of us eating different things from the summerlicous menu were completely dissatisfied with our meals. Bland tasting beef to over salty chicken, and mediocre chocolate whatever it was called for dessert. Avoid wasting ur summer at luma.
Summary
The selection of wine and cocktails here is great. The Chef makes creative dishes that taste great, and will remake something when there is a problem. The staff are knowledgeable, professional and friendly but the service can be slow. This is a big restaurant that's good for events, unique dishes and drinks.
Reviews
Huge place. Not a cozy joint. Booked through OpenTable and it worked perfectly.The service was excellent. Attentive and professional the whole way through. Really impressed. The food was creative and the cocktails were very good. My vegetarian partner had a great meal. My salmon was perfectly cooked.Lot of larger parties around us. Seems like a great spot for events.
The experience lived up to its recommendation. The staff were very knowledgeable, the wine selection was great; recommend a lazy cabreze. So goooood! The seabass was a new edition on the menu and did not disappoint.Had the opportunity to meet the head chef and made us feel right at home.

Winterlicious 2016 - food was delicious:) One of Toronto's oldest restaurants I was told. Had the choice to upgrade to their classic french onion soup (which did not disappoint) for a starter, the mushroom medallions for my entree, and the pouding chomeur for dessert - didn't go wrong with these choices.
I haven't been to Le Papillon in years and was and drawn to their patio on Front St. The brunch menu was mediocre, delicate (as in small serving size) dishes and wasn't cheap, $30 / head inc. tax and tip. I've had better and won't be back for a while.
When you miss France, there's nothing like a little trip to the restaurant Le Papillon. I tried it, and I adored finding French crepes in a warm setting, and very friendly waiters who were happy to share their passion for French cuisine!
I came here with some friends and found the service to be nothing special. The beef bourguignon crepe was fine, but not amazing either. My friends felt similarly about their dishes, as well. Bottom line is that it's good, but there are better places to go for the price point that would offer better flavours and dishes.
Winterlicous tonight. For $25 / person you won't go wrong. We had lamb shank and duck breast. Portion not huge but you get appetizer, main dish, and desert. Environment is what you expected in a class A French restaurant. And it is casual so you don't have to wear tux.
Beautiful decor with very attentive staff. Surprisingly large portion as not typical for French restaurants. We had beef bourguignon and crepe of the day and two soups - all very tasty. I might call it tourist French as I didn't see fancy French sauces or complicated dishes
Brought Mom out for a birthday dinner tonight and it was a real treat. Three words. French onion soup. That, fish and a few choices from the aperitif menu. Soft music and a very pleasant French speaking server. Bravo!
Food was dreadful: both the onion soup and the bechamel seemed to have cornstarch as the primary ingredient. Thick and goopy, not much flavour. Even the coffee was crummy. Service was quick and fine. Once upon a time this was a decent French resto. Those days are long gone.
Summary
Le Papillon is a French restaurant that is generally well-regarded. The food is pretty good, though some might find it expensive for the quality. The service is also good, and the atmosphere reminds one of a real restaurant in France. The price may seem a little high to some, but it is otherwise recommended.

French restaurant that offers some dishes though not many French specials. Staff is friendly and includes a French-speaking server. Food quality is average and the environment is pleasant. Overall a good place to dine.

Summary
The food was average at best and the services lacked that personal touch one expects at a restaurant of this status. The French onion soup is the star of the menu. Overall an upscale restaurant that is decent, not overly expensive, and pleasant with a beautiful French decor.
Reviews
Great food and service. Been there twice and loved it all. Atmosphere, service, food presentation and special service. We wanted to check out Modern Margarita next door but my grandson wanted their cookie in a pan, so James our waiter offered to send it over for him. Thanks James above and beyond!!!
Came here for a date night and happy hour. Place was pretty empty but quickly filled. Had the Med Plate for appetizer. Pizza for main and gelato for desert. Drinks are fantastic and if you are Lucy you will have Todd as the bartender. Great service and personality. Definitely will be back. Great addition to downtown Chandler.
Went in a Sunday with our family of 4. A large party was seated at the same time. There were no other guests so it was surprising on how long it took for someone to take our order. Food was below average. Service was too.
Pesto chicken pizza is a must!! You won't regret it! Also had the fried calamari comes with a lemon sauce delicious!! My kids also had a cheese pizza and that was really good to. I will definitely be back! The Decour is super cute too
Love this place, the food is excellent, so much better than the Tempe location. I also like the chill atmosphere much better than it's predecessor. Friendly staff, good drink specials, can't go wrong with their pizzas or appetizers. Porco pizza is life
Went with a crowd, was planned ahead. Several people ordered calzones. They were served burnt. Pizza was over cooked. Chicken was under cooked. Meals took way to long to come out. Deserts took 25 minutes. I won't go back.
Very good Margarite pizza and Calzone selection. The heirloom tomato and beet salad was a delicate blend of flavors with the balsamic vinagarette. Get the dressing 'on the side'. Very nice property, decor, ambience and great location. Gotta say... way nicer than 'Crust' across the street. Quieter, better service and selection.
Malcom made my family's experience here great. He offered some great cocktail recommendations and was able to answer all of my questions regarding the food. We felt like we were his only table, with the level of service he was able to give us, though we could see that we weren't. We will definitely be back!
Summary
The food is usually great, but the service can be hit or miss. Sometimes, the bartender will offer drink ideas and the staff is attentive, but other times, patrons wait a while for service. The decor is really cute. There is a lot of pizza and calzone options, which tend to be the most popular ordered items here. Salads can be heavy on the dressing, so best to order that on the side. The calamari is great for an appetizer, too. The establishment is also kid-friendly.

Super chill and laid-back atmosphere with a great beer selection. The menu is full of great options besides pizza. The wait staff is knowable and about all the food items. The Pizza is delicious with an excellent blend of herbs and spices. The only downside is the wait time and service can be slow when they are busy.

Reviews
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Austin, as he has helped us understand OnQ's management process. We are considering renting out our home and will absolutely use OnQ when we are ready! Thank you for the great experience thus far!
When searching for new digs, it doesn't get much worse than a property management company that never responds, despite your multiple communication efforts, persistence and patience. Zero responsiveness is a red flag to be taken seriously. Score of 'FAILED' to On Q.
I was referred to On Q by a friend who rented through them before... I called in, saw the house and was approved to move-in within 2 days... so far so good! Impressed with the process and quickness compared to where I rented before
We are renting a home from On Q. Ryan Haueter, our Property Manager, has been awesome!! He response time to several requests has been almost immediate. He is polite, accommodating and so easy to work with. Thank you Ryan!!
On Q Property management has been quick to respond to our maintenance requests. I appreciate the fact that I can call and actually speak with someone as opposed to sending an email. They have been professional and friendly and made the original rental process an easy one.
Just leased a house with OnQ and everything has been so fast, east, and awesome. Been working with Kim. She is very friendly, fun, and efficient. The office is in a good location, very clean, and modern. Lease signing is done electronically which is very convenient and payments can be made online! Very excited to work with OnQ

I wanted to share my experience with On QThe transaction went smooth as butter thanks to Tanner Lee. Tanner is on top of his game. He made our transaction very easy. Tanner has gone above and beyond for us in our new home. I look forward to working with On Q in the months to come. Keep up the good work!!
Summary
OnQ has a variety of employees who will work with customers to help with property rental and leasing. These employees are very friendly and professional, and can help customers get through the process of renting or leasing property very quickly and hassle free. This place is highly recommended.

OnQ is a professional, rental service that makes the process smooth and easy. They are easy to work with and available on demand. There has been some response problems, but that may depend on the representative. Ask for Austin, Tanner or Kim for a great experience. Recommended with only a slight caution.

Reviews
Tried them twice, they can't cook an egg to save a life. Wait time is always long, food came out cold. Bummer too because it's so close to home and really the only breakfast place close by. I really wanted them to be better.
Coming from LA, this place disappointed me because it claimed to be healthy yet gourmet but really was just boring. The avocado toast is on sliced storebought bread. The multigrain pancake was nothing to remember. The house coffee is watered down. Maybe we ordered the wrong items but it really was a forgettable experience.
Great food, great atmosphere. Has a patio to enjoy the outdoors. Staff is always friendly. They offer free coffee and infused water while you wait. The menu is extensive with plenty of healthy options as well. Parking is easy. The only complaint is that the wait is sometimes really long, but thats because it's popular.
We have came twice within the last two weeks and food was good. Fresh and tasty! My kids love the chocolate chip pancakes. The potatoes are my favorite! Staff is friendly and attentive. Inside is clean and very modern. They also have outside patio seating that will be nice once the temperature cools down.
I'll be honest, I'm really sick of the faux local cafes. We won't be back. The food is overpriced for the quality, my omelet had about three sprinkles of chorizo, and the potatoes were uninteresting. Coffee is cheaper at Starbucks. Upsides- Our waitress was very good and the millionaire's bacon was tasty.
It's was pretty cold in here. The morning juiced beet juice was absolutely delicious. The menu had a variety of healthy meals. I was pretty impressed. I had lemon risotto blueberry pancakes. This was the best pancakes I've had. The flava just popped in my mouth. I will be back to try something different.
Good food & service. Usually crazy busy on the weekends!! A must here for us is their lemon ricotta pancakes, they taste better than they sound I promise!! I also like that they have complimentary coffee & ice water while you wait to be seated.
I've eaten here before when it was The Good Egg but am LOVING the First Watch changes. The manager came over to greet me personally and my server (Desmond) was polite, knowledgeable of the new menu and offered an excellent suggestion to my normal favorite. I tried the healthy egg white omelette w / spinach, feta cheese and sli
Summary
This is a breakfast restaurant that specializes in healthier breakfast food. The service is very friendly and knowledgeable. The food is generally good, especially the pancakes. It is busy at times, so wait times are sometimes long. This restaurant is recommended for people who want a healthier, more gourmet-style meal compared to a typical breakfast restaurant.

Summary
This is a local cafe that excels at customer service, though the wait can be long. To compensate, there is complimentary free coffee and infused, ice water. There is a patio outside that adds to the ambiance. The food is hit or miss being that it is not upscale. The lemon ricotta pancakes is the best dish.

The way this place works is pretty cool. You get a bowl and just stack it with all different types of meat and seafood. The choices were overwhelming but all great. It was interesting to watch them make your creation. For the amount of food you get, the price is good as well. I'll definitely be back.
I was excited to return here and we had such a good dinner. Watching dinner being prepared on the large grill and picking what you want makes this a fun place. Don't forget to hit the gong to thank them! I opted for 2 bowls and also tried some different ingredients. I just really like the large options that are available.
This restaurant is barely worthy of one star. They leave raw food sit out on a buffet. They have a very large disk where they attempt to cook your food. Mine wasn't fully cooked and I got food poisoning. I'm never coming back EVER.
I like it, the food tastes good, and it's a cool concept.But they're not very clear on what to do and where to go to with the plates. And it's not very clear how much stuff costs, like is a side of rice included?
The food was decent but the overall experience is not. The process of creating your bowl is not fun and is very difficult to manage if you have small children in tow. The place was also a mess with virtually every point being point being dirty. We have no intention of ever returning again.
Our server was extremely rude. She was slamming utensils and rolling her eyes constantly. No greetings and was not tentative. We felt like we were not welcome and were rushed.The food is overpriced and we got egg shells in our meal.It was so bad that I created this Yelp account to give this review.
I would recommend this to anyone. The food is great... well if you know what you are doing (build your own bowl). Endless food is on $2 more than the standard price. Come hungry and eat well.
Great food. Great service. The grill master was fantastic. They were great about keeping up with the lunchtime rush too. I will be back next time I'm in Pittsburgh. Prices are also good. Unlimited stir fry for 12.99!
Summary
The food at this location is, for the most part, of good quality although it may have been sitting out for a while. The staff is above average with service and there is some confusion to how to actually create a dish to eat.
Reviews
The way this place works is pretty cool. You get a bowl and just stack it with all different types of meat and seafood. The choices were overwhelming but all great. It was interesting to watch them make your creation. For the amount of food you get, the price is good as well. I'll definitely be back.
I was excited to return here and we had such a good dinner. Watching dinner being prepared on the large grill and picking what you want makes this a fun place. Don't forget to hit the gong to thank them! I opted for 2 bowls and also tried some different ingredients. I just really like the large options that are available.

Summary
Customers in this stir-fry restaurant pick their ingredients buffet style, then the cook prepares the meal in front of them. The process can be confusing and chaotic for some, especially small children. Overall, the food is good, however, sometimes there is a mess in the food station. This is recommended for people who want a unique experience.

Summary
While the concept is unique and the food - when cooked correctly - can be good, the overall dining experience is highly disappointing. The service is rushed and unprofessional, the cooking area is messy and unsanitary, and building the entree bowls can be confusing. However, they do offer unlimited food options for only a few dollars extra.

3 stars for the garlic knots.I've had better, they were kinda doughey, but the garlic and butter flavor was good and you get a generous tub of marinara too. I think I'll stick to the pizza, the slices are PERFECT.
I won't get too verbose about the food. I will merely say this: it's the best pizza I've ever eaten, period. I don't know what makes it different from the other New York-style pizza-by-the-slice joints around town, but it's head and shoulders above anything I've had in the valley.
My guys love love this pizza... They say it's the best combo of cheese and crisp of the crust.I did try the wings and just not a fan, but if you want great pizza then you'll love it here.I came back and had the 10 'gluten free pepperoni pizza and it was awesome! Best Gf pizza I've had!
A very nice pizza. I haven't made up my mind which is more authentic, NYPD or Ray's. Both, have the thin NY style crust, but NYPD makes me feel like I'm waiting for an E train to Queens; whereas Ray's feels more upper east side-ish.
Place has been on a slide last few years. Loved the food when they first opened. As a NY transplant I was happy to have Ray's nearby. Disappointing crust had a cardboard texture. So little sauce that the pizza was dry. Cheese not fully melted. The crust ends were skinny and poorly formed. Slightly better than frozen supermarket pizza.
Not a fan, not even a little bit. Underwhelmed by the overall taste and the sauce on the slice, which I think is the most significant ingredient was bland. Not likely to give Ray a chance to make a second impression.
Yummy pizza! Every time I got they are super nice and the pizza is delicious. I order a pie to go- so I haven't tried the pizza by the slice. Oh and don't forget wings, they are great too!
I overheard and watched the owner being very rude a customer who asked about gluten-free customer say that and his place he's the boss here and he'll do the things he wants and he doesn't want to here about gluten free pizza.
Summary
This place serves delicious New York style pizza. They offer both pies to-go and the classic pizza by the slice. Both options taste great for fans of the thin, crisp New York style crust. The staff are also very nice. The other menu dishes are ok, but pizza is the specialty here.

Summary
The service at Ray's is decent but has had complaints in the past. The food is inconsistent and switches between a high quality pizza pie to a lower almost uneatable pie and the sides tend towards being bland to okay at best.
Reviews
Absolutely love it here, I am glad they made the switch to all country. The crowd was beginning to become a little too much. Some of the best staff you can ask for, great bands, and of course d.j. and karaoke. Everything you need for a good night in one place!
Great old bar with historical roots. Good service, great drinks and decent food. Real draw is Friday and Saturday night after ten thirty to eleven, it ceases to be a bar and becomes a local party. Beautiful women frequently dance and need a partner.
This isn't the best or worst. It's just another (better than most). I start by saying. I wanted to check so I called asking 'Do you have Karaoke?' .yes. and yes I know they do. But don't go out there on a hot Saturday-Country-Line-Danceing-Night and expect to sing Karaokie. Not that the alternative is bad.
Solid performance. Good music, drinks and fun! Sometimes it takes a while to get a drink though. The bar is always slammed! There was a guy getting a little to handsey with me and the bouncer checked him right away.:)
Great place.... good music... good service cash only you got to love that... old school country bar.... but they have a DJ that plays dance music all night why drive all the way downtown for a cold beer and good music
This review is solely for their nightlife as I was completely unaware that they serve food other than the hot dog cart outside at 2am.How many places can you say play country in one room and hip hop in the other? I feel it, I feel it. It's a people watching GOLDMINE.
Great burgers. Awesome chili. A little fancy for some. Cash only. For you folks from the upper midwest, this place has a Grain Belt light above one of the tables. I feel like I'm right back in Stearns County when I'm at Roman's. Minus the 99 inches of snow of course.
I absolutely love this bar!! Everyone is so friendly whenever I go there. They have darts, shuffleboard, karaoke, live bands, and dancing. I definitely recommend going here!! The only catch is they only take cash
Summary
The bar is well-known for its country music, cold beer, and good food. Line dancing is offered for those interested, and on occasion a DJ will play modern hip hop music. The bar is usually busy so come prepared to look for a spot and be surrounded by fellow country-music fans.

Summary
An old-fashion bar that specializes in country, and have just switched to playing only all country music. To go along with the old-school attitude is the fact that only cash is accepted as payment. There is karaoke, good food, games, and of course dancing that last all night.

This is a great old country bar with historical roots. The quality of the service is excellent and the staff are all very friendly and professional. There is an on-site DJ, karaoke, live bands and lots of dancing. Great music, good food and ice cold beer all in one place.
Reviews
Kingyo never disappoints whether you are in Vancouver or Toronto.Their pressed mackerel is my favorite and a definite must try if you go.It is a bit expensive if you order mainly sashimi and sushi, but if you get their stone pot rice bowls or some noodles (tantan noodles!) they will help fill you up a bit more and they are always good.
Hostess was outrageously inexperienced. Gave random, false wait time and was still unable to accommodate a party of 2 with a table after having waited more than double the time as promised. That's 1.5 hr wait. No systematic booking system but a simply old note pad. Don't bother coming without reservation. And don't trust the hostess.
Ordered at 9: 15 and dishes started coming out in an hour, even for the most basic dishes. Drinks took about 30 minutes to come out. Ordered short ribs at 9: 15 and they came out at 11: 15. Right before the store closes. Never again and don't recommend.
Food is A-OK! Was a bit pricey, approx. $130 for 5 items and not full at all..... (could be because I eat a lot.... haha). Even thought the server explain each dish, my friend and I still don't what we were eating.... Probably won't come back again
It's ok, nothing special. I still think Sushi Run is better. Their price is kind of high for little amounts of food. Hubby and I ordered 5 assorted sashimi and we only got about 10 pieces for $27. Spicy tuna sushi had too much rice. The only cool thing about this spot is that it's actually Japanese owned.
They have limited amount for the deluxe lunch bento, which I recommend. The portion might not look a lot, but once you start eating you will get full in the end. I also tried the katsu-don bento, which is very good. So, make sure more than 2 people go so you can try variety from the menu.
Now I don't need to wait for trips to Vancouver to get my fix. This is the best Japanese tavern in town. It's much more comfortable than Guu (chairs have backs). The Tuna Tataki is brilliant. Try the addictive Pork Ramen.
I love Kingyo, I'm always satisfied when I come here and have yet to order something I don't like. A couple of staples I always order are, the sashimi salad, tako wasabi, hamachi cheek, ebi shrimp the green tea matcha dessert.
Summary
The Food is okay, but quite expensive. The tuna was spicy and too much rice in the sushi. The price is quite high for the small quantity of food. The hostess was very much inexperienced and was unable to accommodate a party of two. Get a reservation before coming.

The good thing about this Japanese restaurant is that the food is good. The service, however, can be very slow. It is also pretty expensive, especially given the amount of food served. Overall, this is not very well recommended unless price and wait times are not an issue.

The prices for this restaurant are fairly high for a relatively small amount of food. Wait times can sometimes take over an hour. The food is pretty good, particularly the sashimi. Overall it's a mixed back, but this place is moderately not recommended.
Reviews
The seating in the dining area is pretty bare. Service was very fast, even had we not been occupied with the chips and salsa.I get the same thing pretty much every Mexican place I go to (name that Johnny Depp movie) - enchiladas - and these were a cut above. Meats were juicy without being runny or greasy.
I love this place but went today and they were closed. So note that they are no longer open on Sunday. But go the other 6 days. The pickled carrots that come with the chips and salsa are great. Food and Margs are as well.
The BEST Mexican food around. The service is great. They have awesome Mole and all the food is very high quality. They take a lot of pride in what they do. You should definitely try it. We have been going there for years.
This place is amazing! Quality ingredients and the best service in town. Oscar is the greatest server!!! Delish chips and salsa! The food is amazing, the Burrito Tropical with grilled chicken is to die for!! mmhmm
I'm a big fan of the guacamole at Casa Del Sol. They told me the make it fresh and I enjoy it. My boyfriend and I go fairly often and we love the endless chips and salsa (probably too much) and we like the entrees too. The service is always top notch.
I dont get the reviews? i tried this place twice in the last couple weeks and the food was ok at best. i sat in bar area both times and they seem to run short staffed as it took a while to be served and get refills both times. they do seem very friendly once they get to you.
We eat here every chance we get. We live about 30 minutes away, but we still get there every week or two. I love this place... the food is excellent and the manager is a sweetheart. The cheese enchiladas.... yeah... get those. Also, the specials are always great! My favorite restaurant since moving to Wisconsin!
My favorite for Mexican in the Madison area, especially in the summer when you can sit outside on the deck. I've never had a bad meal here, and whatever the 'special of the day' is- order it. It's usually very good.
Summary
This is the best Mexican food around. They have an amazing mole and all the food are of very high quality. The grilled chicken with Burrito Tropical is awesome. the specials are great and the service is amazing. But they do seem to run short of staff. Overall this place is amazing.

The specials also come highly recommended, and they have unlimited chips and salsa. The service is very friendly and generally fast. This restaurant is highly recommended for lovers of Mexican food.

We eat here every chance we get. We live about 30 minutes away, but we still get there every week or two. I love this place... the food is excellent and the manager is a sweetheart. The cheese enchiladas.... yeah... get those. Also, the specials are always great! My favorite restaurant since moving to Wisconsin!
My favorite for Mexican in the Madison area, especially in the summer when you can sit outside on the deck. I've never had a bad meal here, and whatever the 'special of the day' is- order it. It's usually very good.
Summary
This is a very good Mexican restaurant. The quality of the food is excellent and the endless chips and salsa are very satisfying. Service is always top notch and the drinks on the table are never empty. They definitely take pride in everything they do.

This place has changed to Stacks and Yolks so we decided to give it another try. What a change!!! Food was great. Service was great. Food was a little slow coming out because there was a car show but worth the wait. Definitely worth another look if you've been to previous restaurant.
Arrived at 9: 50 am on a Sunday morning.... Seated rather quickly, then waited over an HOUR before our food came. The wait is not worth it, especially when you have kids. Avoid this restaurant on a weekend.
This place has good food, not great but good. The decor is outdated and needs a good cleaning but i guess it can be good if you're looking for an old fashion diner.Customer service is great and they get your food to you extremely fast.
I have had breakfast here a couple times now. It's always busy weekend mornings, the customer service is always very good, however their food isn't all that impressionable. My oatmeal was missing some of the ingredients that it was supposed to have and their skillet ingredients aren't fresh. You're better off going home and making the stuff yourself.
Pass on this place. Food was ok, nothing special. Service was bad. When you have to continually go to the counter to ask for things it kinda puts a damper on the dining experience. Won't be going back.
Walked in, it was nice and clean. Silverware was spotless the waitress was nice but kinda of slow on attending to us. Finally the lady at register noticed we were ready and approached us and took our order. The food was great and the drinks were great as well! Very 'Moms & Pops' type of place! Loved it
Not bad for a little Hole in the wall breakfast diner! I had the pancakes which by the way are huge, fluffy, and delicious. Turkey sausage had good flavor. The homeFries are decent. And the scrambled eggs were made just right. Good service by the waitress. I would recommend this place to any person wanting breakfast.
ok place I feel for what you get its a little pricey orange juice it's good but for sure its not fresh squeeze it has like a very weird sweet good flavor but I am sure it's not squeeze I don't think I'll be back
Summary
This is a small mom-and-pop diner-style restaurant. The food is adequate, though generally not outstanding. The service is sometimes slow, even very slow. It has the classic diner feel. It's not recommended as a special trip, but can be fine for those in the area who don't mind having wait.

Summary
This is a good breakfast place to eat, but it can get very busy. The customer service is friendly, however at times the food can take a long time to get to the table. The food isn't amazing but it's good and it's a nice breakfast diner to enjoy a meal out.

Summary
Stacks and Yolks is a nice, homely diner. Everything is good, but nothing is great. All the typical staple diner foods is here, from pancakes, eggs, sausages, fries, oatmeal, OJ, etc. It's all cooked exactly how it needs to be with nothing fancy added to it. The service can be slow, though the servers are friendly.

I just want to say thank you to all the staff for their help and especially to Jarred. He went above and beyond to answer all the questions I had and he gave me more information then I even expected to need. Because of his customer service not only will I be returning but this is the only place I will come to make any purchases.
The shooting range at DFA is large, and although fairly busy I have never had to wait for a lane. The staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable (get a frequent guest card to earn free range time). If in the market for a firearm, they have the largest selection I've witnessed in Vegas.
Went in on our anniversary to get the hubby a left handed rifle for his upcoming hunting trip. The lady behind the counter laughed and said that we had her at left handed - suggested my husband learn to shoot right handed. So disappointed. So much for being a credible gun dealer.
Been coming here for years. $10 to get on the range. Bring your own ammo. I'm sure there are rules about shooting reloads or steel core but I don't use that junk so I really couldn't tell you.
They have shuttle service to varies resorts to pick you up. The driver was very friendly and able to discuss guns at length. 'Little John' a range safety officer helped us and did the range work with us. We shot an AK-47 and the M-4. John was very knowledgeable, friendly and eager to help us have an awesome experience.
Ok so this place came recommended by a coworker! But after standing in front of the counter and having two employees behind the counter look at me and ignore me and another to then walk right by me and say nothing just to walk over and start a conversation with the other two employees that is not customer service! Guess I will take my business elsewhere!
Called to ask about availability of magazines. Unhelpful response = don't have them, on order but no idea when they will arrive. Did not offer to take an order or call when stocked. No effort made to be courteous.
Went to Discount Firearms and they taught our group valuable gun safety and then we shot awesome machine guns. It's was really cool. Joe (owner) was there and was making sure we were having a great time and Zach (firearm instructor) was very helpful and knowledgeable. All in all a great place to go!
Summary
The behind the counter workers make little to no effort to accommodate a customer's needs looking to make a purchase at this shop. It does have good reasonably priced gun range, complete with helpful and friendly instructors. If a customer is looking to have fun and just shoot some guns this place is highly recommended, if they are looking to make a purchase they may want to look elsewhere.

Summary
Discount Firearms is a firearm trader with their own shooting range and shuttle service. Most of the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and competent, they guide and educate customers, which makes for a generally great customer service. Ammunition is, however, not readily available, which may be a problem for some potential customers. Overall, recommended.

The Residence Inn was great. Very central to lots of things but the people working there were what made the stay so enjoybale. Leyla at the front desk was so helpful in guiding us as to what to do and never without a big smile on her face. Franco at the valet was so friendly and helpful and since he was our very frist imprerssion of the Residence Inn it certainly was a good one. The breakfast was great but again the staff was wonderful. Kemika (sp) was so helpful and warm and it certainly made for an enjoyable breakfast time with our family. The rooms were clean and modern. The parking charge was the only downfall at $35 a day. It would be better to include it in the room price.
I was treated very horribly by the staff at this hotel, I would not recommend it to anyone no matter who you are. Maybe its because they are new they don't know how to treat guests but I can tell you this much they ruined my entire stay and never bothered to do anything about it,until I took action. I am disappointed that a Marriott would act like this, but atleast now you know that they are not capable of effectively dealing with problem resolution during your stay.
I have stayed at this hotel numerous times since it opened. I love the location, and the kitchenette in the rooms makes any hotel stay so much more comfortable. Of course, one can never complain about complementary breakfast! The staff has always been super friendly and helpful, from the maintenance and housekeeping staff, to the front desk and valet. Every time I go to Toronto I look forward to staying there!
We stayed in the residence inn over a weekend. After a Long drive from chicago we were assigned a room on a high floor as requested with a lovely view of the cn tower! The hotel is in the perfect spot for exploring the surrounding area and has lots of pubs and restaurants in close vicinity also! Book it, you won't be dissapointed :)
Excellent location. 5 Minutes walking distance to both the Rogers Centre and CN Tower. Also walking distance to all the nightclubs in the entertainment district. Rooms are brand new and kept spotlessly clean. This property is also reasonably priced with the AAA discount. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this property.
A thank you party for the clients on our first night, staff very polite and room very clean. Close to the CN tower and King street, well located. The fact that you have a complete kitchen and a very nice breakfast included also are some of the reasons to go back to this hotel.
Stayed for 3 nights in August. Excellent location next to the CN Tower. Lovely room with full kitchen - handy with young children - excellent deli round the corner which made preparing meals easier etc. - less stressful than taking youngsters to restaurants. Absolutely superb breakfast each morning. Courteous staff throughout.
I have been staying in Residence Inn for the ast 5 months and its by far the best extended stay hotel I have ever visited. Excelent location,Food and Guest Services

The staff have been okay at this hotel and sometimes were great and helpful but at times they wouldn't treat guests incredibly well. The hotel is also located near to CN Tower.

1. The Strathcona is right in the heart of Toronto. Everything was at hand 2. I am used to the European Hotel of "getting the arm in" for a safe deposit box. Therefore it was a great enhancement that the safe deposit box was pro bono 3. The staff and the concierge was more than helpful. Well done & thank you 4. The rooms were lovely & clean & well maintained over our four night stay 5. The rooms were bijou, however we were comfortable because my wife & I are slim. If you are a disgusting big rotund(s); either lose weight or get another hotel 6. I would definitely stay here again
The hotel was not cheap - almost 200 Canadian dollars (including tax and a buffet breakfast) per night for a standard room. We were shocked by the so-called "standard" room. It was tiny: to do some ironing on the ironing board, or to have access to the electric power points, one literally had to move the furniture around. Cupboard space was inadequate. The shower was lukewarm. The only redeeming featrure was the location: not in an attractive part of Toronto, but at least within walking distance of the CN Tower and the main railway station. I thought it was exceptionally bad value for money, and would not recommend it.
The location of this hotel is its best attribute. I was in Toronto for an Argos football game August 12 and stayed at the Strathcona (for the second time). I paid $83USD for a Friday night. This is cheap by downtown T.O. standards. The room was small and clean with no view at all, but I did not care because I was noe in town for the view or the size of the room. Parking is two blocks down Wellington St. and cost $15CDN for a night - again not bad by T.O. standards. Overall a perefectly serviceable hotel if you are looking for a clean room in a great location.
This place is located right center to all the places we wanted to see. My friend and I went to see a concert and when I called to book they were the only hotel I found who did not talk down to you about not owning a credit card. They are in walkin distance from the train station, the cn tower, hockey hall of fame and the AC and the rogers center. It was amazing and being that we were first timers in a hotel they didn't make ya feel like any question was too stupid. I am going back to toronto and I am staying there again!
Pros: Good location Affordable Cons: Hotel staff (see below) While our stay started out well, it turned into a disaster by the end. We were situated across from about 2-4 rooms of American college students who were in Toronto to drink heavily, smoke and make as much noise as they possible could. Despite numerous calls to the front desk to remedy the problem, they did absolutely nothing to help. We had two sleepless nights & this put a major damper on what was otherwise a fantastic trip. My advice: Pay the extra money & stay somewhere else!
My husband and me came for the Monster truck show at Rogers Center on Jan. It was super fun. What the hotel lacks in amenities and services they make up for it by being centralized. Near to the night-club scene, sports arenas; Rogers Center/Air Canada Center. Restaurants, theater, shopping, and best of all, being cheap cheap cheap. Did I mention cheap? The weekend was fun and exciting. Thanks Gravedigger for tarin' the place up!
My wife and I stayed at the Strathcona while attending the Toronto Film Festival this past weekend. If there are only two in your party, this is a very cozy hotel. Our room was very comfortable and the location was great. You are one block away from the train terminal and the Airport Express shuttle picks you up right across the street. I would definitely stay there again.
I booked a Deluxe Room which to be honest was worse than Basic Rooms i have stayed in, in other Hotels. Buffet Breakfast was expensive and we ate at other places. Pub was fine though if you like watching Sport. Ideal location though for Attractions.

This is cheap by downtown T.O. standards. The room was small and clean with no view at all, but I did not care because I was noe in town for the view or the size of the room. Parking is two blocks down Wellington St. and cost $15CDN for a night - again not bad by T.O. standards. Overall a perefectly serviceable hotel if you are looking for a clean room in a great location.
This place is located right center to all the places we wanted to see. My friend and I went to see a concert and when I called to book they were the only hotel I found who did not talk down to you about not owning a credit card. They are in walkin distance from the train station, the cn tower, hockey hall of fame and the AC and the rogers center. It was amazing and being that we were first timers in a hotel they didn't make ya feel like any question was too stupid. I am going back to toronto and I am staying there again!
Pros: Good location Affordable Cons: Hotel staff (see below) While our stay started out well, it turned into a disaster by the end. We were situated across from about 2-4 rooms of American college students who were in Toronto to drink heavily, smoke and make as much noise as they possible could. Despite numerous calls to the front desk to remedy the problem, they did absolutely nothing to help. We had two sleepless nights & this put a major damper on what was otherwise a fantastic trip. My advice: Pay the extra money & stay somewhere else!
My husband and me came for the Monster truck show at Rogers Center on Jan. It was super fun. What the hotel lacks in amenities and services they make up for it by being centralized. Near to the night-club scene, sports arenas; Rogers Center/Air Canada Center. Restaurants, theater, shopping, and best of all, being cheap cheap cheap. Did I mention cheap? The weekend was fun and exciting. Thanks Gravedigger for tarin' the place up!
My wife and I stayed at the Strathcona while attending the Toronto Film Festival this past weekend. If there are only two in your party, this is a very cozy hotel. Our room was very comfortable and the location was great. You are one block away from the train terminal and the Airport Express shuttle picks you up right across the street. I would definitely stay there again.
I booked a Deluxe Room which to be honest was worse than Basic Rooms i have stayed in, in other Hotels. Buffet Breakfast was expensive and we ate at other places. Pub was fine though if you like watching Sport. Ideal location though for Attractions.
Summary
Location was within walking distance to the CN Tower, the rooms are clean. Some of the staff were so courteous and helpful and super friendly, while others were very unhelpful towards their guests.

Would come back again and again We have been staying at Island Shangri-la once every year for the past 7 years. They have continued to improve their service year after year. The service is impeccable. The rooms were renovated a couple of years ago and they added a modern twist. But the level of comfort and 'homeyness' has been retained. With the Pacific Place mall right underneath the hotel, it is so convenient to just go down and shop, knowing that even if you carry a lot of bulky items. There is no worry about riding through the mrt or lining up to get a taxi. You can just catch the elevator and go right up to your room. It is always a perfect experience staying at the hotel.
Good, but not unforgettable This hotel is certainly good enough as a business hotel. However, I really will not stay here for a leisure trip. As mentioned in another review, there are just no personal touches or charm. The staff is polite but the service is more mechanical, rather than from the heart. There is a pool, but it offers a view of skyscrapers nearby. It's really quite hard to relax in this evironment.The location is not bad as it is connected to the subway via a big shopping mall. However, in the morning, a cab ride can take quite long to reach the central business district due to traffic jam.
OK, not spectacular. I spent a few nights at the Shangri La in August. I found the overall experience lacking.The rooms are bland, all function with surprisingly little style (surprising given the strong feng shui influence in HK). The rooms are also small, even by HK/Toyko standards. Lunch at the cafe was expensive and disappointing. Breakfast was much better, though also very expensive.The pool is really nice, and the gym is good. The staff was OK, but interactions felt rushed and reminded me more of a NYC business hotel than a true 5 star.Don't be afraid to try somewhere else.
once again, great stay once again, a great stay, upgraded to a harbour view as it was our silver wedding aniversary, flowers, fruit etc as well, i love this hotel so much, such humble and smilley staff considering it is regullaly voted one of the best hotels in the world for everything, fab possition, great rooms, wonderfull staff, do i own it or work for them? no,we just love staying here, well done, shangri- la once again!
consistently excellent I stay at the island SRL frequently with business, and it isconsistently excellent - staff are always amazing. Isupposethe only picky downside is if you like modern it may be a littlechinzy for you!The service is outstanding.the bar lady in the foyer bar has remembered the drink I have on every visit (as she does with every repeat guest!) and the pool is simply relaxation at its best!Highly recommended
Great hotel, deserves its reputation Really great location next to luxury shopping mall and park. We stayed in the lowest category room (deluxe peakview) and had no complaints. Service was excellent, staff couldn't do enough for us and our 2 kids, great welcome. Breakfast amazing, loved the outdoor pool - a great stay.
Excellent This place is great. The welcome was impressive, the location is great above Pacific place and the MTR station.The rooms were spacious, clean and had everything you could ask for. Staff are very polite and efficient.Highly recommended.

My name is Vince Palumbo and I am a coach/player for the Australian Stickfighting Team, and I would like to tell you all about this beautiful Regal International Airport Hotel which is in Hong Kong. Me and my team of 16 athletes did a one night stop-over in Hong Kong on our way to the Philippines where we were travelling to so that we could all compete at the 2009 World Stickfighting Championships which were being held in Cebu City there in Philippines. Our stay at the Regal International Airport Hotel in Hong Kong was just fantastic, and we all enjoyed the hotel and service very much, so if ever you need to do a stop-over there in Hong Kong for the night, please do not hesitate to contact the manager at the hotel by the name of Mt Jon Chiu, and I am sure that he will bend over backwards to really try and accommodate you or your group. So go ahead and spoil yourself for the night, and I am sure that you will be pleased with the service that you recieve there, ok! Enjoy this Fantastic Hotel in Hong Kong! Regards from GM Vince Palumbo (Australia)
My family and I concluded our two-week Easter trip to Berlin and London and returned to Hong Kong. After a long flight, we landed in Hong Kong's international airport around midnight despite very bad weather - raining cats and dogs. As we were very tired and the weather was terrible, we decided to spend the night at the Regal Airport Hotel before returning home in the city centre the next morning. Thanks to the convenient location of Regal, the heavy downpour did not get us wet as the hotel is connected to the airport by an enclosed link bridge. As a regular hotel guest, we got an upgrade this time. Our suite has a family room and a bed room, large and comfortable enough for my family of three. We had the best sleep in days amd woke up the next morning refreshed. The buffet breakfast at the cafe on the lower ground floor was very good too, not to mention the good and friendly services provided by its staff. No wonder, Regal was awarded the best airport hotel title for last couple of years.
We've stayed twice at this hotel. Rooms were good but the more important factor for us was the hotel's location. For both times, the hotel's location allowed us to make the most out of our short visit to HK. We did not waste any travel time between hotel and airport, either at arrival or for departure, since it was interconnected. We are not hassled or stressed with rushing to the airport to catch our flight. The hotel also had regular free shuttle service to Tung Chung (outlet mall) and several stops at downtown HK. This also saved us bus/train fares. The hotel also has a pool and gym which unfortunately we were not able to try since we were always out exploring HK.
I stayed here for a night in transit to Kathmandu. Average hotel to stay only if you are in transit, otherwise, why one should spend more money here at the airport rather than staying in city areas. Everything was expensive but some of staff were nice and room facilities were okay. So many things in my room was initially not working and I had to call house keeping to fix it such as safety deposit box, TV remote, Refrigerator (with anything inside).and so on. There was nothing that really attracted me so much. But in general I saw they have different facilities within hotel complex, including many restaurants and bar, pools etc.
We stayed one night between our flights from Australia to North America and arrived late in the evening. The room temperature never rose above 18 degrees Celcius and the shower taps were broken and therefore shower temperature adjustment was extremely difficult. Service was just OK and the breakfast which was included in our package was pretty good. For the price of the room we did not feel we received good value at all. Room was clean but bed was like sleeping on a sheet of plywood and there were no face cloths.
My third time in this hotel, excellent staff from Front desk. Luggage was sent quickly and quick check in. There is no other hotel closer to the airport. Good location for early flight visitor like me.
I usually avoid airport hotels like the plague, but the Regal at HK is very good. Clean spacious room, good dining facilities and a reasonable room rate.
A quiet place despite the airport. Free transport was wonderful.

The best part of this hotel is the staff. We were greeted by the ubiquitous doorman and all staff every time we entered the hotel. We felt as if we were the most important guests in the hotel and the staff were constantly concerned about our needs. The breakfast was a lavish buffet and again the wait staff was outstanding This is a beautiful hotel in the old part of Montreal and close to good restaurants, art galleries, and shopping. The room was luxurious, beautifully appointed, comfortable and spotless. It is just around the corner from a major theater and the cathedral and the river. It is short cab ride to the cultural center where they have the symphony, ballet and etc. The metro station is about a 10 minute walk.
We stayed at the Saint Sulpice in early October. The hotel has a perfect location right in the heart of the Old Quarter. Lots of restaurants and attractions in the surrounding area. The hotel staff is excellent, the rooms are beautiful with great bathrooms. Restaurant us good quality and group members enjoyed meals there. Concierge and front desk staff was warm and helpful. The doorman are always there to help and offer a smile. Stop reading these reviews and book it! There is nothing not to like with the Saint Sulpice. We travel and book hotels all over the world, this one is a keeper!
I rely heavily on reviews for visiting all over the world. This hotel was hands down one of the nicest and most beautiful places. It was a extremely spacious room, with a queen bed, couch, fire place, large fridge, stove and sink and a window that opened toward the street and a good size bathroom. Everyone that worked there was very helpful and nice and we felt very welcomed. The location is perfect and very central to a grocery store, liquor store, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend this Hotel and really enjoyed our stay because of it.
Cozy, comfortable, elegant and reasonably priced the Saint-Sulpice is in the heart of old Montreal between just behind the cathedral. It is quiet, friendly and pet friendly. Although we were in Montreal on the shortest days of the year our first floor room next to a courtyard garden was sunny and welcoming. One of our favorite hotels anywhere.
Vacation with 3 sisters and Mom for Mother's Day. The only place I could find where the suite could accomodate 4 of us nicely. Clean, bright, and comfortable plus and it is right in the Old City (which was good for my mother). There outdoor dining area was great for lunch! Good staff, too.
Great service, beautiful stylish contemporary decor! And even a Tassimo espresso maker in every room. L'Occitane bath products were amazing! Plus free Wi-Fi ! Central as it is located right next to Notre Dame Cathedral! Would definitely recommend this hotel to the most finicky of people!
I love montreal, this hotel was available at a good value and came highly recommended. Very pleased with the location and hotel in general although slightly disappointed with saunda and fitness centre. I think there are better values out there.
Love this hotel. Perfect location to explore old town. Wouldn't even consider any other hotel in town. Our third visit and certainly will return again. The comp. breakfasts alone would bring us back.

The staff at this highly recommended Montreal hotel were friendly, warm and so helpful. The hotel is also close to sights, restaurants and shopping.

The hotel is highly recommended. The location is great and the staff is very helpful.

We chose the Hilton Bonaventure for our recent stay in Montreal based on the glowing recommendation of a frequent flying family member. The downtown location proved to be a great starting point for our city explorations. The room was clean, well laid out, and comfortable. The staff was courteous and al spoke flawless English. One evening we decided to sample some local ice wine we had purchased, the hotel quickly brought us glasses, opened, and then served us our wine. The breakfast was delicious, and the selection at the bar was above average. The rooftop garden was beautiful, although we didnat have time to walk though it in its entirety. Over all I give this hotel my full recommendation.
Hilton Bonaventure definitely provides bang for your buck. The layout for this hotel is very unique. It has many "wings" and each wing has access to its own private pool. It also has many water features and excellent landscaping throughout the outdoor patios that are accessible privately via the rooms. You don't even realize that you are on the 17th floor once you get off the main elevator at the reception level and the view of the city from that floor is breathtaking. The staff is quite friendly and accomodating. The only drawback: wired interenet only available for 1 computer in each room. Wireless internet is only available in the lobby. However, I enjoyed my stay!
Recently in Montreal to attend a concert with my teen Grand daughter and her friend. We chose the Bonaventure after much consideration due to it's proximity to the bell Centre( concert Venue and also Hockey Game Venue which my husband was attending). The decision could not have been better.The Bonaventure is connected to Montreal's extensive underground City, lots of shopping, a skating rink, movie theatres.we were thrilled. To say nothing of the friendly hotel staff.to a person they were helpful and welcoming. This is obviously a very well run facility. The management and staff should be proud.
There are no elevators and the staff doesn't tell you. I had to drag my bags upstairs and then downstairs. There were no bellmans available when we arrived. It was horrible for $100US per night. When I asked for a closer room, I was given a downgraded room. I've never stayed at a 4 star hotel without elevators and no bellmen. Also, the drain in the bathtub was very slow. You end up showering in 4 inches of water.
hotel in central downtown location. Comfortable, the greatest asset is the garden with swimming pool on the top floor is even heated in winter ! Book a room on the executive floor and enjoy complimentary breakfast and evening appetizers and snacks for a small fee. A perfect hotel to stay in the city.
Wonderful quality hotel. The garden and pool are a great escape from the city below. The room was clean, comfortable and tastefully renovated - very modern yet so comfy. The staff was very helpful and the location of the hotel is perfect for every sight in Montreal.
Was participating at a business convention in Montreal. We stayed at this hotel. Nice hotel with comfortable beds and nice view of downtown Montreal. Near Place Bonaventure. Closed to Bell centre and all fancy restaurant around.
Everything about this hotel was fine. It is a typical, better-than-averagely run downtown Hilton property. I went there for a few days on business and ended up liking it a lot.
Summary
The staff at this highly recommended Montreal hotel were friendly, warm and so helpful. The hotel is also close to sights, restaurants and shopping.

Great Location Stayed at the Brunelleschi in late December. The location was terrific, the breakfast hearty, and the rooms large and above average for Italy for the price. Turn two corners and you are in the piazza next to Giotto's campanile. As an american who speaks fluent italian, and a mother of 3, I never go to Italy to sleep in 5 star resort hotels. This hotel could never be compared to the Four Seasons, but, in Florence, it was the perfect place to start and end each day.
Lovely hotel We stayed here for my husband's birthday weekend. We're ususally more 3* hotel people so this was a bit of a treat, but it was worth every penny. The hotel is beautiful - such a lovely building and a GREAT location. The staff were unfailingly polite as we checked in and went to the bar. Our room was a good size with an ENORMOUS bathroom, and views of the campanile. Breakfast was excellent.I found the hotel pretty much faultless. And Florence? Just beautiful.
Great location, great staff! This hotel was a real find! We loved the location and the front desk staff was the friendliest in Italy! The breakfast buffet was also excellent! This hotel was in a quiet alley, just steps from the Duomo and the best shopping in Florence! The only negative was the multiple levels on the different floors, making it difficult to get around in the hotel. A minor inconvenience for an otherwise excellent hotel.
Wonderful stay in Florence Hotel Brunelleschi is a lovely hotel in an excellent location in the heart of Florence. The rooms are brilliant , although the bells of the Duomo wake you up early in the morning! All the staff are very helpful and can make good suggestions for eating out - I had the best sea bass I have ever had from one of their recommendations. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this delightful hotel.
great location,if a little noisy lovely hotel,very friendly helpful staffright in the middle of all the actionwe had a suite,which had a separete bedroom(very handy)clean,very good choice on buffet breakfastonly down side was our room was on the front of the hotelwhich is on one of the main streets.so bin men and road sweepers could be heard ealy in the morninggood value more money
Great experience! My friend and I stayed for 4 nights. We had no complaints whatsoever. The service, staff, cleanliness, comfort etc were all exemplary. Special tip: bring a picnic lunch up to the rooftop terrace and get a breathtaking view of the city. The view of the Duomo there by sunrise is sublime.
only Brunelleschi is the only one who could have build something better! a portion of our large room
Brunelleschi was Perfect! View from Rooftop Patio

The staff at the hotel are very helpful. The location of this hotel is simply superb becaus it's in a central location close to downtown sights and also more representative of locals.

The Orto de' Medici Hotel, Florence This medium-priced Hotel offers a very good price to service ratio. The rooms are very clean and being an old but refurbished building, it has high and well appointed rooms.The hotel offers - as a garni hotel - an excellent breakfast (self-service from two tables). Being not on a thoroughfare, it is quiet at night. Its situation in relation to the main attraction, the Piazza del Duomo, is a seven to ten minute's walk. There are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, especially just opposite is the restaurant Il Cardellino. At the reception English and French is spoken. The service personnel is very friendly and is supervised by the proprietor himself.The Hopp on / Hopp-off Bus can be taken from the Piazza San Marco, approximately 200 meters from the hotel Orto de' Medici, where also other regular bus lines part for the hinterland.
A room with a view What a great place! Just returned from 4 nights here and delighted with the choice. Central location - only a few minutes walk from the Accademia, but tucked away in a side street so as quiet as it can be in Florence (or any major city for that matter!). Ask for room 45, on the 4th floor (don't panic there is a lift), if you want a room with a balcony and a view over the roof tops to the Duomo and Campanile. Continental breakfast was light but adequate, but hotel too small to serve dinner - not a problem with so many good restaurants to choose from! Go and enjoy!
Short walk from the Madding crowds of Firenze The website was accurate in its promises. The service to arrange for private pick-up from the train station to the airport was excellent as was the arranging for museum tickets. Contact to confirm reservations was propmpt. The rooms are simple, but clean and we slept well for five restful nights. The common room is very comfortable, as is the breakfast area. The patio serves dynomite gin tonics for happy hour. The hotel is a pleasant walk from the main downtown sights in a less touristy and more local scene. Would definitely stay there again.
Good 3 star hotel in Florence Good 3-star hotel in central Florence, very close to the Accademia and to the Duomo. Lots of restaurants nearby. Room is fairly spacious but basic in decor and clean. Bedroom windows are double-paned, so that noise is not a problem. Bathroom could use a little updating but would speculate that it has been updated within last 10 years. Good American style stand-up shower. The breakfast, which is included in the price of the room, is well above average and in a lovely room which also has a very nice terrace. Friendly front desk.
Extremely friendly/helpful staff here! The Orto De Medici was a wonderful hotel, perfectly located in Florence. The continental breakfast was grand and offered world travelers a diverse selection of foods and drinks.The hotel is superbly clean and beautifully decorated. The front desk staff was the best I've ever encountered. They were compassionate with our lost luggage situation and gladly booked us reservations for the Uffizi gallery.Although the walls are a bit thin in the room and it seemed a bit noisy at night.I would stay at this hotel a thousand times over.Thanks for a fabulous stay.
Wonderful We had a wonderful week's stay at this charming hotel. The service was first class, the room and bathroom were spacious and immaculately clean.The best part, however was the sun-lit , beautifully appointed breakfast room with, again, perfect service.We would definitely go back when we return to Florence.
Absolutely Lovely! A view from the Bell Tower looking at the Duomo

My wife and I were in November 2006 for one night only and paid with reward points. Wish have stayed longer. Nice and superclean clean modern hotel, superb breakfast with plenty of variety and fresh capuccino made in front of you, and very helpful and polite staff both in reception and breakfast room that makes your stay even more enjoyable. Even thought not in centre of Rome, close enough by public transportation very easy and accesible: bus line 85 runs often one block from hotel, takes you to Colesseum and near Trevi? Metro linea B, about 5 blocks from hotel takes you to centre or Ananigna to take bus to Ciampino, and train to Fiumicino airport 2-3 blocks from hotel: only 5 euros takes you in a bit without stops. Only problem with Metro line B is that stopped working after 9:00PM. Hope it changes soon, but still OK. Would definitely reccomend hotel to anybody and cannot wait to go back now in June for 2 nights.
We (a family of 9 including a toddler & an adolescent) went there last October. Having stayed at a new Holiday Inn Express in Milan last year, we were hoping to repeat the same 3-star experience. The receptionists were accomodating/business-like. We rented a van & had to pay 12 parking/night. However, everybody was disappointed with the small room (triple BR), old stained pillows & sheets, cleanliness & service. The only time that we opened our window was on the last day of our stay (it rained) & was shocked to find out that the window sill was full of black molds. My son had his first asthma attack when we went home. I've just read another review from a previous guest abt. 2 months ago stating the same problem with the molds/mildew. Obviously, the hotel didn't do anything about it.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Rome - San Giovanni for 3 nights during our 8 day trip in Italy. On our last morning, we were told to leave our baggage at the lobby while breakfast and we did. When we returned, we sadly found out that one of our baggage, the one containing most of our gifts, was missing. Since we wouldn't be able to go back and get new ones, it was really devastating for us. The staff members were not even slighly interested in the situation. We asked for police assistance but they didn't even bother to call; saying the police could do nothing about it. Nobody asked about what happened or anything; as if nothing had happened. The apathy, the staff members showed, made us regretfully think that some of them may have something to do with the robbery.
We stayed at Holiday Inn Express Rome San Giovanni simply going by what others had to say about the place in Tripadvisor. I am glad I did that. I got a good price on the hiexpress website by booking in advance. Though the hotel is not right in the heart of the city, it is a very convenient to get there by bus. We also used the sub way station but that was a longer walk. The rooms are very clean and modern. The front desk staff are helpful . Breakfast was good with a lot of choice. Would definitely stay there again.
I stayed at the hotel from January 26 to January 31 and the service over all is really great, but there is nothing or none that matches service, attention, dedication and compromise with the client than SIMONE DI PORTO and ALESSANDRA COPPOCA, both of them really are committed and love what they do, always aware of what you need and willing to help you. ANd these review is coming from a long term priority club member with Platinum Status, besides the deco of the hotel and overall was good. Hope to go back to the same hotel
We Were only in rome for 2 days and 2 nights and found Express a good place for a short stay. At first we thought the area looked a bit Dodgey But compared to Rome centre it is not too bad. There is a nice Restaurant (Sacco) just around the corner which, although a little pricey, is very pleasant. It is very close to the Station, Just a 10 minute walk and another 10 to Termini Station. Also There is free parking just outside reception
This is a good hotel, it is very decent , nice rooms(though I'm not sure if it has air conditioning), it is very close to the Metro, which was our main transportation throughout our trip. it also has a bus station a minute away that is also very usefull. Money well spent!
Very clean rooms, super friendly and helpful staff. We checked in early in the morning and were accommodated without charge. The breakfast was perfect. Make sure you get a few free cappuccino's from the Barista. The Nescafe machine is fine but the cappuccino's from the barrista (Coffee Bar) are better.
Summary
Some of the staff at the hotel were helpful. If you want to go a little further afield there is a train station close-by.

Metro linea B, about 5 blocks from hotel takes you to centre or Ananigna to take bus to Ciampino, and train to Fiumicino airport 2-3 blocks from hotel: only 5 euros takes you in a bit without stops. Only problem with Metro line B is that stopped working after 9:00PM. Hope it changes soon, but still OK. Would definitely reccomend hotel to anybody and cannot wait to go back now in June for 2 nights.
We (a family of 9 including a toddler & an adolescent) went there last October. Having stayed at a new Holiday Inn Express in Milan last year, we were hoping to repeat the same 3-star experience. The receptionists were accomodating/business-like. We rented a van & had to pay 12 parking/night. However, everybody was disappointed with the small room (triple BR), old stained pillows & sheets, cleanliness & service. The only time that we opened our window was on the last day of our stay (it rained) & was shocked to find out that the window sill was full of black molds. My son had his first asthma attack when we went home. I've just read another review from a previous guest abt. 2 months ago stating the same problem with the molds/mildew. Obviously, the hotel didn't do anything about it.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Rome - San Giovanni for 3 nights during our 8 day trip in Italy. On our last morning, we were told to leave our baggage at the lobby while breakfast and we did. When we returned, we sadly found out that one of our baggage, the one containing most of our gifts, was missing. Since we wouldn't be able to go back and get new ones, it was really devastating for us. The staff members were not even slighly interested in the situation. We asked for police assistance but they didn't even bother to call; saying the police could do nothing about it. Nobody asked about what happened or anything; as if nothing had happened. The apathy, the staff members showed, made us regretfully think that some of them may have something to do with the robbery.
We stayed at Holiday Inn Express Rome San Giovanni simply going by what others had to say about the place in Tripadvisor. I am glad I did that. I got a good price on the hiexpress website by booking in advance. Though the hotel is not right in the heart of the city, it is a very convenient to get there by bus. We also used the sub way station but that was a longer walk. The rooms are very clean and modern. The front desk staff are helpful . Breakfast was good with a lot of choice. Would definitely stay there again.
I stayed at the hotel from January 26 to January 31 and the service over all is really great, but there is nothing or none that matches service, attention, dedication and compromise with the client than SIMONE DI PORTO and ALESSANDRA COPPOCA, both of them really are committed and love what they do, always aware of what you need and willing to help you. ANd these review is coming from a long term priority club member with Platinum Status, besides the deco of the hotel and overall was good. Hope to go back to the same hotel
We Were only in rome for 2 days and 2 nights and found Express a good place for a short stay. At first we thought the area looked a bit Dodgey But compared to Rome centre it is not too bad. There is a nice Restaurant (Sacco) just around the corner which, although a little pricey, is very pleasant. It is very close to the Station, Just a 10 minute walk and another 10 to Termini Station. Also There is free parking just outside reception
This is a good hotel, it is very decent , nice rooms(though I'm not sure if it has air conditioning), it is very close to the Metro, which was our main transportation throughout our trip. it also has a bus station a minute away that is also very usefull. Money well spent!
Very clean rooms, super friendly and helpful staff. We checked in early in the morning and were accommodated without charge. The breakfast was perfect. Make sure you get a few free cappuccino's from the Barista. The Nescafe machine is fine but the cappuccino's from the barrista (Coffee Bar) are better.
Summary
The location very close to the train station. You will find the some of the staff at this hotel are super helpful.

My wife and I were in November 2006 for one night only and paid with reward points. Wish have stayed longer.

You will be comfortable at this hotel. The rooms and baths are large; cleaning service is excellent. It is relatively quiet in busy, central Rome, therefore a very good location to stay for sightseeing. The main Metro terminal is a short walk away. Breakfast is entirely adequate and complimentary. There is a free Internet connection in the lobby and rooms are wired for the Internet. One caution: should you need to telephone the USA, the hotel phones offer a "1508" access code. While the connection is fast and clear, the charge for a timed brief call of two or theee minutes is over $40 usd. Use your ATT card for international calls and save.
having just returned from a weeks stay at the universo hotel,i found it to be good value for money,on our arrival we did not have the room we booked and were disappointed,when we brought this to the hotels attention our room was changed the next day which we were more than happy with,breakfast was also very good with lots to choose from,don't understand the negative comments regarding breakfast on some reviews.i would definately return to this hotel.
Hotel's location is amazing since its 2 mins walk from the main train station that will take u to airport in 25 mins. 10 mins away from downtown (walking) and around 15-20 from Coloseum ! Central location, with lots of hotels around Friendly staff, and really AMAZING breakfast. The restaurant is not the best you can get. Really nice rooms :)
We stayed 4 nights, and felt secure and comfortable. This is a fairly impersonal hotel, where the staff did not speak unless spoken to, although they were helpful when requests were made. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Our room was a loft, with the king bed up the stairs from the sitting area and bathroom. Several good restaurants nearby.
Good location if you plan to stay close to Termini rail station is a few minutes walk. Hotel itself not really impressive the rooms are very small with no drawers and a tiny bathroom with a shower only. Does have air conditioning which is about the only good part .Buffet Breakfast was good but overall I wouldnt stay again at this hotel
We stayed here twice in May and would happily stay again. The rooms were spacious, the breakfast was yum, and the staff were friendly and helpful. You could walk to a lot of Rome's attractions from here but we chose to use the hop on hop off bus which had a stop just around the corner.
Don't expect t set yur thermostat below 80 degrees. No matter what setting you use, the front desk controls the room temperature and will not set it below 26 Celsius, or 78 Fahrenheit. Disgusting sleeping temperature, and of course does not make for a good vacation. Never again.
We had a great stay. Close to the train station and many attractions. We walked all over Rome from here. Great breakfast, clean rooms, but the staff was makes it extra special.
Summary
Some of the staff at the hotel were helpful. If you want to go a little further afield there is a train station close-by.

The Residence Inn was great. Very central to lots of things but the people working there were what made the stay so enjoybale. Leyla at the front desk was so helpful in guiding us as to what to do and never without a big smile on her face. Franco at the valet was so friendly and helpful and since he was our very frist imprerssion of the Residence Inn it certainly was a good one. The breakfast was great but again the staff was wonderful. Kemika (sp) was so helpful and warm and it certainly made for an enjoyable breakfast time with our family. The rooms were clean and modern. The parking charge was the only downfall at $35 a day. It would be better to include it in the room price.
I was treated very horribly by the staff at this hotel, I would not recommend it to anyone no matter who you are. Maybe its because they are new they don't know how to treat guests but I can tell you this much they ruined my entire stay and never bothered to do anything about it,until I took action. I am disappointed that a Marriott would act like this, but atleast now you know that they are not capable of effectively dealing with problem resolution during your stay.
I have stayed at this hotel numerous times since it opened. I love the location, and the kitchenette in the rooms makes any hotel stay so much more comfortable. Of course, one can never complain about complementary breakfast! The staff has always been super friendly and helpful, from the maintenance and housekeeping staff, to the front desk and valet. Every time I go to Toronto I look forward to staying there!
We stayed in the residence inn over a weekend. After a Long drive from chicago we were assigned a room on a high floor as requested with a lovely view of the cn tower! The hotel is in the perfect spot for exploring the surrounding area and has lots of pubs and restaurants in close vicinity also! Book it, you won't be dissapointed :)
Excellent location. 5 Minutes walking distance to both the Rogers Centre and CN Tower. Also walking distance to all the nightclubs in the entertainment district. Rooms are brand new and kept spotlessly clean. This property is also reasonably priced with the AAA discount. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this property.
A thank you party for the clients on our first night, staff very polite and room very clean. Close to the CN tower and King street, well located. The fact that you have a complete kitchen and a very nice breakfast included also are some of the reasons to go back to this hotel.
Stayed for 3 nights in August. Excellent location next to the CN Tower. Lovely room with full kitchen - handy with young children - excellent deli round the corner which made preparing meals easier etc. - less stressful than taking youngsters to restaurants. Absolutely superb breakfast each morning. Courteous staff throughout.
I have been staying in Residence Inn for the ast 5 months and its by far the best extended stay hotel I have ever visited. Excelent location,Food and Guest Services
Summary
This is a hotel located in an excellent place. It is perfect to walk to the entertainment district as well as pubs and restaurants. Rooms on the higher floors are excellent as they can provide a great view. The room itself is of a lovely quality and even had a full kitchen, which is incredibly useful. The hotel's complimentary breakfast was really good.

The Residence Inn at Toronto is great and staying often is something worth considering. This hotel is close to nightclubs, the entertainment district, restaurants and pubs. Some rooms on the higher floors of the hotel can boast of lovely views, but other options are rooms with full kitchens to prepare your own food if you prefer. The complimentary breakfast was really great.

1. The Strathcona is right in the heart of Toronto. Everything was at hand 2. I am used to the European Hotel of "getting the arm in" for a safe deposit box. Therefore it was a great enhancement that the safe deposit box was pro bono 3. The staff and the concierge was more than helpful. Well done & thank you 4. The rooms were lovely & clean & well maintained over our four night stay 5. The rooms were bijou, however we were comfortable because my wife & I are slim. If you are a disgusting big rotund(s); either lose weight or get another hotel 6. I would definitely stay here again
The hotel was not cheap - almost 200 Canadian dollars (including tax and a buffet breakfast) per night for a standard room. We were shocked by the so-called "standard" room. It was tiny: to do some ironing on the ironing board, or to have access to the electric power points, one literally had to move the furniture around. Cupboard space was inadequate. The shower was lukewarm. The only redeeming featrure was the location: not in an attractive part of Toronto, but at least within walking distance of the CN Tower and the main railway station. I thought it was exceptionally bad value for money, and would not recommend it.
The location of this hotel is its best attribute. I was in Toronto for an Argos football game August 12 and stayed at the Strathcona (for the second time). I paid $83USD for a Friday night. This is cheap by downtown T.O. standards. The room was small and clean with no view at all, but I did not care because I was noe in town for the view or the size of the room. Parking is two blocks down Wellington St. and cost $15CDN for a night - again not bad by T.O. standards. Overall a perefectly serviceable hotel if you are looking for a clean room in a great location.
This place is located right center to all the places we wanted to see. My friend and I went to see a concert and when I called to book they were the only hotel I found who did not talk down to you about not owning a credit card. They are in walkin distance from the train station, the cn tower, hockey hall of fame and the AC and the rogers center. It was amazing and being that we were first timers in a hotel they didn't make ya feel like any question was too stupid. I am going back to toronto and I am staying there again!
Pros: Good location Affordable Cons: Hotel staff (see below) While our stay started out well, it turned into a disaster by the end. We were situated across from about 2-4 rooms of American college students who were in Toronto to drink heavily, smoke and make as much noise as they possible could. Despite numerous calls to the front desk to remedy the problem, they did absolutely nothing to help. We had two sleepless nights & this put a major damper on what was otherwise a fantastic trip. My advice: Pay the extra money & stay somewhere else!
My husband and me came for the Monster truck show at Rogers Center on Jan. It was super fun. What the hotel lacks in amenities and services they make up for it by being centralized. Near to the night-club scene, sports arenas; Rogers Center/Air Canada Center. Restaurants, theater, shopping, and best of all, being cheap cheap cheap. Did I mention cheap? The weekend was fun and exciting. Thanks Gravedigger for tarin' the place up!
My wife and I stayed at the Strathcona while attending the Toronto Film Festival this past weekend. If there are only two in your party, this is a very cozy hotel. Our room was very comfortable and the location was great. You are one block away from the train terminal and the Airport Express shuttle picks you up right across the street. I would definitely stay there again.
I booked a Deluxe Room which to be honest was worse than Basic Rooms i have stayed in, in other Hotels. Buffet Breakfast was expensive and we ate at other places. Pub was fine though if you like watching Sport. Ideal location though for Attractions.
Summary
This hotel is great and pretty amazing, and you would definitely want to return. The hotel is located close to the CN Tower, the hockey Hall of Fame and the Rogers Centre for example. The deluxe room was quite small and didn't have a view at all, but it was pretty clean. There was a lot of noise that could be heard from the room, as well. The hotel's breakfast is in included in the room's price, but a little expensive.

My husband and me came for the Monster truck show at Rogers Center on Jan. It was super fun. What the hotel lacks in amenities and services they make up for it by being centralized. Near to the night-club scene, sports arenas; Rogers Center/Air Canada Center. Restaurants, theater, shopping, and best of all, being cheap cheap cheap. Did I mention cheap? The weekend was fun and exciting. Thanks Gravedigger for tarin' the place up!
My wife and I stayed at the Strathcona while attending the Toronto Film Festival this past weekend. If there are only two in your party, this is a very cozy hotel. Our room was very comfortable and the location was great. You are one block away from the train terminal and the Airport Express shuttle picks you up right across the street. I would definitely stay there again.
I booked a Deluxe Room which to be honest was worse than Basic Rooms i have stayed in, in other Hotels. Buffet Breakfast was expensive and we ate at other places. Pub was fine though if you like watching Sport. Ideal location though for Attractions.
Summary
The hotel treated first time stayers with respect. The location of the hotel couldn't be better because there are nearby attractions, night-clubs, and popular sights within walking distance. Even the deluxe rooms in the hotel are not to be recommended. The rooms are small with poor storage. The showers are lukewarm and the hall is noisy with rowdy guests at all hours. Unfortunately the buffet breakfast didn't come cheaply but it the food was mostly fine.

1. The Strathcona is right in the heart of Toronto. Everything was at hand 2. I am used to the European Hotel of "getting the arm in" for a safe deposit box. Therefore it was a great enhancement that the safe deposit box was pro bono 3. The staff and the concierge was more than helpful. Well done & thank you 4. The rooms were lovely & clean & well maintained over our four night stay 5. The rooms were bijou, however we were comfortable because my wife & I are slim. If you are a disgusting big rotund(s); either lose weight or get another hotel 6. I would definitely stay here again
The hotel was not cheap - almost 200 Canadian dollars (including tax and a buffet breakfast) per night for a standard room. We were shocked by the so-called "standard" room. It was tiny: to do some ironing on the ironing board, or to have access to the electric power points, one literally had to move the furniture around. Cupboard space was inadequate. The shower was lukewarm. The only redeeming featrure was the location: not in an attractive part of Toronto, but at least within walking distance of the CN Tower and the main railway station. I thought it was exceptionally bad value for money, and would not recommend it.
The location of this hotel is its best attribute. I was in Toronto for an Argos football game August 12 and stayed at the Strathcona (for the second time). I paid $83USD for a Friday night. This is cheap by downtown T.O. standards. The room was small and clean with no view at all, but I did not care because I was noe in town for the view or the size of the room. Parking is two blocks down Wellington St. and cost $15CDN for a night - again not bad by T.O. standards. Overall a perefectly serviceable hotel if you are looking for a clean room in a great location.
This place is located right center to all the places we wanted to see. My friend and I went to see a concert and when I called to book they were the only hotel I found who did not talk down to you about not owning a credit card. They are in walkin distance from the train station, the cn tower, hockey hall of fame and the AC and the rogers center. It was amazing and being that we were first timers in a hotel they didn't make ya feel like any question was too stupid. I am going back to toronto and I am staying there again!
Pros: Good location Affordable Cons: Hotel staff (see below) While our stay started out well, it turned into a disaster by the end. We were situated across from about 2-4 rooms of American college students who were in Toronto to drink heavily, smoke and make as much noise as they possible could. Despite numerous calls to the front desk to remedy the problem, they did absolutely nothing to help. We had two sleepless nights & this put a major damper on what was otherwise a fantastic trip.

Summary
A highly recommended hotel that provides excellent customer service. This hotel is close to most of the major attractions in the area, with many of them being walking distance from the train station. The Delux room was not very impressive but was comfortable and clean despite being small. Cupboard space was also lacking and it was lacking much hot water in the shower. The hotel is considerable small, with limited room available for guests to move around and use some of the facilities with ease.

Would come back again and again We have been staying at Island Shangri-la once every year for the past 7 years. They have continued to improve their service year after year. The service is impeccable. The rooms were renovated a couple of years ago and they added a modern twist. But the level of comfort and 'homeyness' has been retained. With the Pacific Place mall right underneath the hotel, it is so convenient to just go down and shop, knowing that even if you carry a lot of bulky items. There is no worry about riding through the mrt or lining up to get a taxi. You can just catch the elevator and go right up to your room. It is always a perfect experience staying at the hotel.
Good, but not unforgettable This hotel is certainly good enough as a business hotel. However, I really will not stay here for a leisure trip. As mentioned in another review, there are just no personal touches or charm. The staff is polite but the service is more mechanical, rather than from the heart. There is a pool, but it offers a view of skyscrapers nearby. It's really quite hard to relax in this evironment.The location is not bad as it is connected to the subway via a big shopping mall. However, in the morning, a cab ride can take quite long to reach the central business district due to traffic jam.
OK, not spectacular. I spent a few nights at the Shangri La in August. I found the overall experience lacking.The rooms are bland, all function with surprisingly little style (surprising given the strong feng shui influence in HK). The rooms are also small, even by HK/Toyko standards. Lunch at the cafe was expensive and disappointing. Breakfast was much better, though also very expensive.The pool is really nice, and the gym is good. The staff was OK, but interactions felt rushed and reminded me more of a NYC business hotel than a true 5 star.Don't be afraid to try somewhere else.
once again, great stay once again, a great stay, upgraded to a harbour view as it was our silver wedding aniversary, flowers, fruit etc as well, i love this hotel so much, such humble and smilley staff considering it is regullaly voted one of the best hotels in the world for everything, fab possition, great rooms, wonderfull staff, do i own it or work for them? no,we just love staying here, well done, shangri- la once again!
consistently excellent I stay at the island SRL frequently with business, and it isconsistently excellent - staff are always amazing. Isupposethe only picky downside is if you like modern it may be a littlechinzy for you!The service is outstanding.the bar lady in the foyer bar has remembered the drink I have on every visit (as she does with every repeat guest!) and the pool is simply relaxation at its best!Highly recommended
Great hotel, deserves its reputation Really great location next to luxury shopping mall and park. We stayed in the lowest category room (deluxe peakview) and had no complaints. Service was excellent, staff couldn't do enough for us and our 2 kids, great welcome. Breakfast amazing, loved the outdoor pool - a great stay.
Excellent This place is great. The welcome was impressive, the location is great above Pacific place and the MTR station.The rooms were spacious, clean and had everything you could ask for. Staff are very polite and efficient.Highly recommended.

Summary
The hotel has a level of homely comfort, but sometimes lack small personal touches, The hotel is connected to a subway and sits above the Pacific Place shopping mall., however it can take a while to travel to the business district. The rooms are really modern but unfortunately lacking in style and space. The hotel has a cafe that provides lunch but it was really expensive and equally as disappointing, however you can get drinks from the bar that's in the foyer. The hotel had good facilities available, such as a gym and a pool.

This is a really great hotel, however, it lacks the personal touch. The location is great because not only is it connected via a big shopping mall but it is super easy to get to the subway station. The views aren't so great because really all you see are skyscrapers. The rooms of the hotel were modern and close to the elevator, but they were also on the smaller side and a little simplistic. The food at the hotel is very expensive and not enjoyable. The breakfast was nicer than the lunch. The hotel has very good exercise facilities such a good gym and a nice pool.

Summary
A well recommended hotel, that is a particularly pleasant experience to visit. Very comfortable to stay in, however there are no unique touches that makes it personal and stand out from other hotels in the area. The location is okay as is near the subway and is atop the Pacific Place Mall, so shopping is very convenient. The recently renovated rooms are decorated to have a modern twist. However, even by Hong Kong and Tokyo standards, they are considerably smaller than other hotels. The cafe can be quite expensive in this hotel at any time of day, however the food is much better for breakfast than it is for lunch. Excellent facilities at this hotel to keep guests busy and entertained.

My name is Vince Palumbo and I am a coach/player for the Australian Stickfighting Team, and I would like to tell you all about this beautiful Regal International Airport Hotel which is in Hong Kong. Me and my team of 16 athletes did a one night stop-over in Hong Kong on our way to the Philippines where we were travelling to so that we could all compete at the 2009 World Stickfighting Championships which were being held in Cebu City there in Philippines. Our stay at the Regal International Airport Hotel in Hong Kong was just fantastic, and we all enjoyed the hotel and service very much, so if ever you need to do a stop-over there in Hong Kong for the night, please do not hesitate to contact the manager at the hotel by the name of Mt Jon Chiu, and I am sure that he will bend over backwards to really try and accommodate you or your group. So go ahead and spoil yourself for the night, and I am sure that you will be pleased with the service that you recieve there, ok! Enjoy this Fantastic Hotel in Hong Kong! Regards from GM Vince Palumbo (Australia)
My family and I concluded our two-week Easter trip to Berlin and London and returned to Hong Kong. After a long flight, we landed in Hong Kong's international airport around midnight despite very bad weather - raining cats and dogs. As we were very tired and the weather was terrible, we decided to spend the night at the Regal Airport Hotel before returning home in the city centre the next morning. Thanks to the convenient location of Regal, the heavy downpour did not get us wet as the hotel is connected to the airport by an enclosed link bridge. As a regular hotel guest, we got an upgrade this time. Our suite has a family room and a bed room, large and comfortable enough for my family of three. We had the best sleep in days amd woke up the next morning refreshed. The buffet breakfast at the cafe on the lower ground floor was very good too, not to mention the good and friendly services provided by its staff. No wonder, Regal was awarded the best airport hotel title for last couple of years.
We've stayed twice at this hotel. Rooms were good but the more important factor for us was the hotel's location. For both times, the hotel's location allowed us to make the most out of our short visit to HK. We did not waste any travel time between hotel and airport, either at arrival or for departure, since it was interconnected. We are not hassled or stressed with rushing to the airport to catch our flight. The hotel also had regular free shuttle service to Tung Chung (outlet mall) and several stops at downtown HK. This also saved us bus/train fares. The hotel also has a pool and gym which unfortunately we were not able to try since we were always out exploring HK.
I stayed here for a night in transit to Kathmandu. Average hotel to stay only if you are in transit, otherwise, why one should spend more money here at the airport rather than staying in city areas. Everything was expensive but some of staff were nice and room facilities were okay. So many things in my room was initially not working and I had to call house keeping to fix it such as safety deposit box, TV remote, Refrigerator (with anything inside).and so on. There was nothing that really attracted me so much. But in general I saw they have different facilities within hotel complex, including many restaurants and bar, pools etc.
We stayed one night between our flights from Australia to North America and arrived late in the evening. The room temperature never rose above 18 degrees Celcius and the shower taps were broken and therefore shower temperature adjustment was extremely difficult. Service was just OK and the breakfast which was included in our package was pretty good. For the price of the room we did not feel we received good value at all. Room was clean but bed was like sleeping on a sheet of plywood and there were no face cloths.
My third time in this hotel, excellent staff from Front desk. Luggage was sent quickly and quick check in. There is no other hotel closer to the airport. Good location for early flight visitor like me.
I usually avoid airport hotels like the plague, but the Regal at HK is very good. Clean spacious room, good dining facilities and a reasonable room rate.
A quiet place despite the airport. Free transport was wonderful.
Summary
Despite being interconnected to the airport this is a very quiet hotel that was actually awarded for being the best airport hotel. It is a fantastic hotel overall and you will probably wish to return to it. This hotel is ideally located for those who are flying as it is close to the airport and makes it superb for early flight visitors. The rooms in the hotel are large and spacious , but some of the electrical items in the room were not functioning. The buffet breakfast was great. The luggage was dealt with really well and the check-in experience was super efficient.

Summary
The Regal is the best airport hotel and still remains quiet despite the air travel. The hotel is the closest available to Hong Kong's airport and also a great hub to be able to get out and about the city. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to the local out let mall Tung Chung and other shopping centres in downtown Hong Kong. Whilst sleeping is really good here in the hotel's rooms, it did not feel like value for money and a lot of things in the room were not working at first. T The cafe provide buffet breakfast on the ground floor which is really good. One thing to mention about the hotel is that the luggage arrived and was checked in very efficiently.

Summary
A lovely place to stay, with direct links to the airport. Excellent luxury amenities on site, including a swimming pool and gym for the guests to use when they please. The hotel is located near the airport but convenient for short visits to HK. The rooms are inconsistent. Some are great in that they are large and comfortable while others are disappointing because of non-working equipment in the rooms. The cafe on the lower ground floor of the hotel provides a very good buffet style breakfast for guests. Check-in was quick.
Reviews
The best part of this hotel is the staff. We were greeted by the ubiquitous doorman and all staff every time we entered the hotel. We felt as if we were the most important guests in the hotel and the staff were constantly concerned about our needs. The breakfast was a lavish buffet and again the wait staff was outstanding This is a beautiful hotel in the old part of Montreal and close to good restaurants, art galleries, and shopping. The room was luxurious, beautifully appointed, comfortable and spotless. It is just around the corner from a major theater and the cathedral and the river. It is short cab ride to the cultural center where they have the symphony, ballet and etc. The metro station is about a 10 minute walk.
We stayed at the Saint Sulpice in early October. The hotel has a perfect location right in the heart of the Old Quarter. Lots of restaurants and attractions in the surrounding area. The hotel staff is excellent, the rooms are beautiful with great bathrooms. Restaurant us good quality and group members enjoyed meals there. Concierge and front desk staff was warm and helpful. The doorman are always there to help and offer a smile. Stop reading these reviews and book it! There is nothing not to like with the Saint Sulpice. We travel and book hotels all over the world, this one is a keeper!
I rely heavily on reviews for visiting all over the world. This hotel was hands down one of the nicest and most beautiful places. It was a extremely spacious room, with a queen bed, couch, fire place, large fridge, stove and sink and a window that opened toward the street and a good size bathroom. Everyone that worked there was very helpful and nice and we felt very welcomed. The location is perfect and very central to a grocery store, liquor store, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend this Hotel and really enjoyed our stay because of it.
Cozy, comfortable, elegant and reasonably priced the Saint-Sulpice is in the heart of old Montreal between just behind the cathedral. It is quiet, friendly and pet friendly. Although we were in Montreal on the shortest days of the year our first floor room next to a courtyard garden was sunny and welcoming. One of our favorite hotels anywhere.
Vacation with 3 sisters and Mom for Mother's Day. The only place I could find where the suite could accomodate 4 of us nicely. Clean, bright, and comfortable plus and it is right in the Old City (which was good for my mother). There outdoor dining area was great for lunch! Good staff, too.
Great service, beautiful stylish contemporary decor! And even a Tassimo espresso maker in every room. L'Occitane bath products were amazing! Plus free Wi-Fi ! Central as it is located right next to Notre Dame Cathedral! Would definitely recommend this hotel to the most finicky of people!
I love montreal, this hotel was available at a good value and came highly recommended. Very pleased with the location and hotel in general although slightly disappointed with saunda and fitness centre. I think there are better values out there.
Love this hotel. Perfect location to explore old town. Wouldn't even consider any other hotel in town. Our third visit and certainly will return again. The comp. breakfasts alone would bring us back.
Summary
This greatly loved hotel is well kept and comfortable. Everything you could need in terms of shops and restaurants are really close to this hotel making it superbly located. Additionally there are plenty of attractions such as a theatre and cathedral just around the corner. The view from the luxurious room was really nice overlooking the courtyard when it was sunny. Additionally rooms can accommodate four people while still being comfortable and really clean. The doorman was always at the entrance of the hotel to greet guests and the great staff were very welcoming. There was a buffet for breakfast and it provided great-tasting food. Additionally there is a great outdoor dining area that was well-suited for eating lunch. There were some really great toiletries available at this hotel. The price was really reasonable as well considering how comfortable and elegant the hotel is.

The best part of this hotel is the staff. We were greeted by the ubiquitous doorman and all staff every time we entered the hotel. We felt as if we were the most important guests in the hotel and the staff were constantly concerned about our needs. The breakfast was a lavish buffet and again the wait staff was outstanding This is a beautiful hotel in the old part of Montreal and close to good restaurants, art galleries, and shopping. The room was luxurious, beautifully appointed, comfortable and spotless. It is just around the corner from a major theater and the cathedral and the river. It is short cab ride to the cultural center where they have the symphony, ballet and etc. The metro station is about a 10 minute walk.
We stayed at the Saint Sulpice in early October. The hotel has a perfect location right in the heart of the Old Quarter. Lots of restaurants and attractions in the surrounding area. The hotel staff is excellent, the rooms are beautiful with great bathrooms. Restaurant us good quality and group members enjoyed meals there. Concierge and front desk staff was warm and helpful. The doorman are always there to help and offer a smile. Stop reading these reviews and book it! There is nothing not to like with the Saint Sulpice. We travel and book hotels all over the world, this one is a keeper!
I rely heavily on reviews for visiting all over the world. This hotel was hands down one of the nicest and most beautiful places. It was a extremely spacious room, with a queen bed, couch, fire place, large fridge, stove and sink and a window that opened toward the street and a good size bathroom. Everyone that worked there was very helpful and nice and we felt very welcomed. The location is perfect and very central to a grocery store, liquor store, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend this Hotel and really enjoyed our stay because of it.
Cozy, comfortable, elegant and reasonably priced the Saint-Sulpice is in the heart of old Montreal between just behind the cathedral. It is quiet, friendly and pet friendly. Although we were in Montreal on the shortest days of the year our first floor room next to a courtyard garden was sunny and welcoming. One of our favorite hotels anywhere.
Vacation with 3 sisters and Mom for Mother's Day. The only place I could find where the suite could accomodate 4 of us nicely. Clean, bright, and comfortable plus and it is right in the Old City (which was good for my mother). There outdoor dining area was great for lunch! Good staff, too.
Great service, beautiful stylish contemporary decor! And even a Tassimo espresso maker in every room. L'Occitane bath products were amazing! Plus free Wi-Fi ! Central as it is located right next to Notre Dame Cathedral! Would definitely recommend this hotel to the most finicky of people!
I love montreal, this hotel was available at a good value and came highly recommended. Very pleased with the location and hotel in general although slightly disappointed with saunda and fitness centre. I think there are better values out there.
Love this hotel. Perfect location to explore old town. Wouldn't even consider any other hotel in town. Our third visit and certainly will return again. The comp. breakfasts alone would bring us back.
Summary
Excellent hotel that is highly recommended in this area. It's very clean and a comfortable place to stay. The hotel is in a great location only a ten minute walk from the metro station and near to the cathedral and the river. The cultural centre is a short taxi ride away. The rooms were large and luxurious, perfectly able to house four guests as requested. The room was comfortable and clean. Rooms on the first floor have access to a lovely courtyard garden. The hotel has a lovely outdoor dining area for lunch. The meals served at the restaurants are a good quality too. The hotel had lovely toiletries available and there was free Wi-Fi available.

Summary
This hotel provides a clean and comfortable hotel and it will soon become your favourite. Centrally located, this hotel is close to grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, and next to Notre Dame Cathedral right at the center of the Old Quarter. The Metro is only about a 10-minute walk away or a quick taxi to the cultural center for some ballet or music. This hotel has luxurious, comfortable and clean rooms. The breakfast was amazing. Free WiFi and excellent bath products were included.

We chose the Hilton Bonaventure for our recent stay in Montreal based on the glowing recommendation of a frequent flying family member. The downtown location proved to be a great starting point for our city explorations. The room was clean, well laid out, and comfortable. The staff was courteous and al spoke flawless English. One evening we decided to sample some local ice wine we had purchased, the hotel quickly brought us glasses, opened, and then served us our wine. The breakfast was delicious, and the selection at the bar was above average. The rooftop garden was beautiful, although we didnat have time to walk though it in its entirety. Over all I give this hotel my full recommendation.
Hilton Bonaventure definitely provides bang for your buck. The layout for this hotel is very unique. It has many "wings" and each wing has access to its own private pool. It also has many water features and excellent landscaping throughout the outdoor patios that are accessible privately via the rooms. You don't even realize that you are on the 17th floor once you get off the main elevator at the reception level and the view of the city from that floor is breathtaking. The staff is quite friendly and accomodating. The only drawback: wired interenet only available for 1 computer in each room. Wireless internet is only available in the lobby. However, I enjoyed my stay!
Recently in Montreal to attend a concert with my teen Grand daughter and her friend. We chose the Bonaventure after much consideration due to it's proximity to the bell Centre( concert Venue and also Hockey Game Venue which my husband was attending). The decision could not have been better.The Bonaventure is connected to Montreal's extensive underground City, lots of shopping, a skating rink, movie theatres.we were thrilled. To say nothing of the friendly hotel staff.to a person they were helpful and welcoming. This is obviously a very well run facility. The management and staff should be proud.
There are no elevators and the staff doesn't tell you. I had to drag my bags upstairs and then downstairs. There were no bellmans available when we arrived. It was horrible for $100US per night. When I asked for a closer room, I was given a downgraded room. I've never stayed at a 4 star hotel without elevators and no bellmen. Also, the drain in the bathtub was very slow. You end up showering in 4 inches of water.
hotel in central downtown location. Comfortable, the greatest asset is the garden with swimming pool on the top floor is even heated in winter ! Book a room on the executive floor and enjoy complimentary breakfast and evening appetizers and snacks for a small fee. A perfect hotel to stay in the city.
Wonderful quality hotel. The garden and pool are a great escape from the city below. The room was clean, comfortable and tastefully renovated - very modern yet so comfy. The staff was very helpful and the location of the hotel is perfect for every sight in Montreal.
Was participating at a business convention in Montreal. We stayed at this hotel. Nice hotel with comfortable beds and nice view of downtown Montreal. Near Place Bonaventure. Closed to Bell centre and all fancy restaurant around.
Everything about this hotel was fine. It is a typical, better-than-averagely run downtown Hilton property. I went there for a few days on business and ended up liking it a lot.
Summary
A good quality hotel that provides a nice and enjoyable stay that will not break the bank. The bathtub in the room took too long to drain and there is only the facility for one computer to have access to the internet per room. The hotel's breakfast selection was really good, as well as the selection provided at the bar. Rooms on the executive floor are provided with a complimentary breakfast, as well as appetisers and snacks for a nominal fee.

Summary
The hotel is a well managed business and is a cost effective stay. This hotel is located downtown which is a great location to be. It's easily accessible to lots of fancy restaurants, shopping and even movie theatres. Unfortunately a downgraded room was disappointing and there is wired internet for only one computer per room. The breakfast is absolutely delicious with a great selection of food at the bar. Breakfast can be complimentary if booking a room on the executive floor and the evening appetisers only cost a small fee. Average hotel, and there is limited Wi-Fi available.

Summary
The Bonaventure Hotel provides a lot for the cost and is wonderful. This hotel's location is great as it is in central downtown and close to the Bell Center and connected to the underground city for shopping and entertainment. Rooms are close to a private pool, with there being a pool for each wing of the hotel, and guests have private access to the beautiful landscaping that surrounds their rooms. This hotel includes an executive floor to book, where breakfast is complimentary or in the evening appetizers and snacks are at a minimal cost. The breakfast is very good too and they have a lot on offer at the bar as well. There is only wireless internet available in the lobby but everything else about the hotel is fine enough.
Reviews
Great Location Stayed at the Brunelleschi in late December. The location was terrific, the breakfast hearty, and the rooms large and above average for Italy for the price. Turn two corners and you are in the piazza next to Giotto's campanile. As an american who speaks fluent italian, and a mother of 3, I never go to Italy to sleep in 5 star resort hotels. This hotel could never be compared to the Four Seasons, but, in Florence, it was the perfect place to start and end each day.
Lovely hotel We stayed here for my husband's birthday weekend. We're ususally more 3* hotel people so this was a bit of a treat, but it was worth every penny. The hotel is beautiful - such a lovely building and a GREAT location. The staff were unfailingly polite as we checked in and went to the bar. Our room was a good size with an ENORMOUS bathroom, and views of the campanile. Breakfast was excellent.I found the hotel pretty much faultless. And Florence? Just beautiful.
Great location, great staff! This hotel was a real find! We loved the location and the front desk staff was the friendliest in Italy! The breakfast buffet was also excellent! This hotel was in a quiet alley, just steps from the Duomo and the best shopping in Florence! The only negative was the multiple levels on the different floors, making it difficult to get around in the hotel. A minor inconvenience for an otherwise excellent hotel.
Wonderful stay in Florence Hotel Brunelleschi is a lovely hotel in an excellent location in the heart of Florence. The rooms are brilliant , although the bells of the Duomo wake you up early in the morning! All the staff are very helpful and can make good suggestions for eating out - I had the best sea bass I have ever had from one of their recommendations. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this delightful hotel.
great location,if a little noisy lovely hotel,very friendly helpful staffright in the middle of all the actionwe had a suite,which had a separete bedroom(very handy)clean,very good choice on buffet breakfastonly down side was our room was on the front of the hotelwhich is on one of the main streets.so bin men and road sweepers could be heard ealy in the morninggood value more money
Great experience! My friend and I stayed for 4 nights. We had no complaints whatsoever. The service, staff, cleanliness, comfort etc were all exemplary. Special tip: bring a picnic lunch up to the rooftop terrace and get a breathtaking view of the city. The view of the Duomo there by sunrise is sublime.
only Brunelleschi is the only one who could have build something better! a portion of our large room
Brunelleschi was Perfect! View from Rooftop Patio
Summary
This flawless hotel provided a great stay and it's really recommended. The hotel is closely located to Giotto's Campanile. The rooms in this hotel are really great and quite spacious. There was some outside noise from the bells in the morning however. It was difficult to navigate the hotel due to the floor layout.

The stay at the hotel was a brilliant experience and there were no faults . It was an impeccable choice to stay in Florence and was highly recommended. It is worth noting that you can clearly hear the bells from the Duomo in the morning, which may be a negative for some. Eating lunch on the rooftop terrace is a nice way to get a gorgeous view of the city. There were multiple levels on different levels, which could often make it difficult to get around the hotel.

The Orto de' Medici Hotel, Florence This medium-priced Hotel offers a very good price to service ratio. The rooms are very clean and being an old but refurbished building, it has high and well appointed rooms.The hotel offers - as a garni hotel - an excellent breakfast (self-service from two tables). Being not on a thoroughfare, it is quiet at night. Its situation in relation to the main attraction, the Piazza del Duomo, is a seven to ten minute's walk. There are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, especially just opposite is the restaurant Il Cardellino. At the reception English and French is spoken. The service personnel is very friendly and is supervised by the proprietor himself.The Hopp on / Hopp-off Bus can be taken from the Piazza San Marco, approximately 200 meters from the hotel Orto de' Medici, where also other regular bus lines part for the hinterland.
A room with a view What a great place! Just returned from 4 nights here and delighted with the choice. Central location - only a few minutes walk from the Accademia, but tucked away in a side street so as quiet as it can be in Florence (or any major city for that matter!). Ask for room 45, on the 4th floor (don't panic there is a lift), if you want a room with a balcony and a view over the roof tops to the Duomo and Campanile. Continental breakfast was light but adequate, but hotel too small to serve dinner - not a problem with so many good restaurants to choose from! Go and enjoy!
Short walk from the Madding crowds of Firenze The website was accurate in its promises. The service to arrange for private pick-up from the train station to the airport was excellent as was the arranging for museum tickets. Contact to confirm reservations was propmpt. The rooms are simple, but clean and we slept well for five restful nights. The common room is very comfortable, as is the breakfast area. The patio serves dynomite gin tonics for happy hour. The hotel is a pleasant walk from the main downtown sights in a less touristy and more local scene. Would definitely stay there again.
Good 3 star hotel in Florence Good 3-star hotel in central Florence, very close to the Accademia and to the Duomo. Lots of restaurants nearby. Room is fairly spacious but basic in decor and clean. Bedroom windows are double-paned, so that noise is not a problem. Bathroom could use a little updating but would speculate that it has been updated within last 10 years. Good American style stand-up shower. The breakfast, which is included in the price of the room, is well above average and in a lovely room which also has a very nice terrace. Friendly front desk.
Extremely friendly/helpful staff here! The Orto De Medici was a wonderful hotel, perfectly located in Florence. The continental breakfast was grand and offered world travelers a diverse selection of foods and drinks.The hotel is superbly clean and beautifully decorated. The front desk staff was the best I've ever encountered. They were compassionate with our lost luggage situation and gladly booked us reservations for the Uffizi gallery.Although the walls are a bit thin in the room and it seemed a bit noisy at night.I would stay at this hotel a thousand times over.Thanks for a fabulous stay.
Wonderful We had a wonderful week's stay at this charming hotel. The service was first class, the room and bathroom were spacious and immaculately clean.The best part, however was the sun-lit , beautifully appointed breakfast room with, again, perfect service.We would definitely go back when we return to Florence.
Absolutely Lovely! A view from the Bell Tower looking at the Duomo
My favorite Italian experience In front of the Hotel Orto De Medici
Summary
The hotel definitely warrants a repeat visit. It is really quiet on a side-street. There is also a convenient hop-on hop-off tourist bus that isn't too far from the hotel, too, so that's really helpful for sight-seeing. The rooms in the hotel are clean but simple with a view over the rooftops. There was a grand continental breakfast that was really tasty.

Summary
This hotels provides a fabulous and wonderful stay and great Italian experience. The location is only a few minutes walk from plenty of restaurants and the Accademia gallery. Close to the hotel there is a bus station, on the Piazza San Marco. There are rooms with a balcony and amazing view of the city here. The decor is a bit basic but it's all very clean. The hotel provides a Continental breakfast with lots to choose from . This can be had from a gorgeous sun-lit breakfast room from two self-service tables. The shower was really good because it was in the American stand-up style.

The Orto de' Medici Hotel, Florence This medium-priced Hotel offers a very good price to service ratio. The rooms are very clean and being an old but refurbished building, it has high and well appointed rooms.The hotel offers - as a garni hotel - an excellent breakfast (self-service from two tables). Being not on a thoroughfare, it is quiet at night. Its situation in relation to the main attraction, the Piazza del Duomo, is a seven to ten minute's walk. There are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, especially just opposite is the restaurant Il Cardellino. At the reception English and French is spoken. The service personnel is very friendly and is supervised by the proprietor himself.The Hopp on / Hopp-off Bus can be taken from the Piazza San Marco, approximately 200 meters from the hotel Orto de' Medici, where also other regular bus lines part for the hinterland.
A room with a view What a great place! Just returned from 4 nights here and delighted with the choice. Central location - only a few minutes walk from the Accademia, but tucked away in a side street so as quiet as it can be in Florence (or any major city for that matter!). Ask for room 45, on the 4th floor (don't panic there is a lift), if you want a room with a balcony and a view over the roof tops to the Duomo and Campanile. Continental breakfast was light but adequate, but hotel too small to serve dinner - not a problem with so many good restaurants to choose from! Go and enjoy!
Short walk from the Madding crowds of Firenze The website was accurate in its promises. The service to arrange for private pick-up from the train station to the airport was excellent as was the arranging for museum tickets. Contact to confirm reservations was propmpt. The rooms are simple, but clean and we slept well for five restful nights. The common room is very comfortable, as is the breakfast area. The patio serves dynomite gin tonics for happy hour. The hotel is a pleasant walk from the main downtown sights in a less touristy and more local scene. Would definitely stay there again.
Good 3 star hotel in Florence Good 3-star hotel in central Florence, very close to the Accademia and to the Duomo. Lots of restaurants nearby. Room is fairly spacious but basic in decor and clean. Bedroom windows are double-paned, so that noise is not a problem. Bathroom could use a little updating but would speculate that it has been updated within last 10 years. Good American style stand-up shower. The breakfast, which is included in the price of the room, is well above average and in a lovely room which also has a very nice terrace. Friendly front desk.
Extremely friendly/helpful staff here! The Orto De Medici was a wonderful hotel, perfectly located in Florence. The continental breakfast was grand and offered world travelers a diverse selection of foods and drinks.The hotel is superbly clean and beautifully decorated. The front desk staff was the best I've ever encountered. They were compassionate with our lost luggage situation and gladly booked us reservations for the Uffizi gallery.Although the walls are a bit thin in the room and it seemed a bit noisy at night.I would stay at this hotel a thousand times over.Thanks for a fabulous stay.
Wonderful We had a wonderful week's stay at this charming hotel. The service was first class, the room and bathroom were spacious and immaculately clean.The best part, however was the sun-lit , beautifully appointed breakfast room with, again, perfect service.We would definitely go back when we return to Florence.

My favorite Italian experience In front of the Hotel Orto De Medici
Summary
A wonderful hotel, full of charm and perfect for an Italian experience. The decor is beautiful and the cleanliness is to a high standard. The location is in close proximity to a wide variety of restaurants. Although it is nicely tucked away in a quieter, less touristy area, there are still regular bus lines that run close by to this hotel. The rooms are clean and simple but spacious. This is an old, refurbished building with thin walls but the windows are double-paned so the noise is reduced in the rooms and the bathrooms could use some updating. The breakfast offered by the hotel was excellent and offered a lot of choice and is included in the room price. In close proximity to an excellent four star hotel, with excellent features in the bathroom.

My wife and I were in November 2006 for one night only and paid with reward points. Wish have stayed longer. Nice and superclean clean modern hotel, superb breakfast with plenty of variety and fresh capuccino made in front of you, and very helpful and polite staff both in reception and breakfast room that makes your stay even more enjoyable. Even thought not in centre of Rome, close enough by public transportation very easy and accesible: bus line 85 runs often one block from hotel, takes you to Colesseum and near Trevi? Metro linea B, about 5 blocks from hotel takes you to centre or Ananigna to take bus to Ciampino, and train to Fiumicino airport 2-3 blocks from hotel: only 5 euros takes you in a bit without stops. Only problem with Metro line B is that stopped working after 9:00PM. Hope it changes soon, but still OK. Would definitely reccomend hotel to anybody and cannot wait to go back now in June for 2 nights.
We (a family of 9 including a toddler & an adolescent) went there last October. Having stayed at a new Holiday Inn Express in Milan last year, we were hoping to repeat the same 3-star experience. The receptionists were accomodating/business-like. We rented a van & had to pay 12 parking/night. However, everybody was disappointed with the small room (triple BR), old stained pillows & sheets, cleanliness & service. The only time that we opened our window was on the last day of our stay (it rained) & was shocked to find out that the window sill was full of black molds. My son had his first asthma attack when we went home. I've just read another review from a previous guest abt. 2 months ago stating the same problem with the molds/mildew. Obviously, the hotel didn't do anything about it.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Rome - San Giovanni for 3 nights during our 8 day trip in Italy. On our last morning, we were told to leave our baggage at the lobby while breakfast and we did. When we returned, we sadly found out that one of our baggage, the one containing most of our gifts, was missing. Since we wouldn't be able to go back and get new ones, it was really devastating for us. The staff members were not even slighly interested in the situation. We asked for police assistance but they didn't even bother to call; saying the police could do nothing about it. Nobody asked about what happened or anything; as if nothing had happened. The apathy, the staff members showed, made us regretfully think that some of them may have something to do with the robbery.
We stayed at Holiday Inn Express Rome San Giovanni simply going by what others had to say about the place in Tripadvisor. I am glad I did that. I got a good price on the hiexpress website by booking in advance. Though the hotel is not right in the heart of the city, it is a very convenient to get there by bus. We also used the sub way station but that was a longer walk. The rooms are very clean and modern. The front desk staff are helpful . Breakfast was good with a lot of choice. Would definitely stay there again.
I stayed at the hotel from January 26 to January 31 and the service over all is really great, but there is nothing or none that matches service, attention, dedication and compromise with the client than SIMONE DI PORTO and ALESSANDRA COPPOCA, both of them really are committed and love what they do, always aware of what you need and willing to help you. ANd these review is coming from a long term priority club member with Platinum Status, besides the deco of the hotel and overall was good. Hope to go back to the same hotel
We Were only in rome for 2 days and 2 nights and found Express a good place for a short stay. At first we thought the area looked a bit Dodgey But compared to Rome centre it is not too bad. There is a nice Restaurant (Sacco) just around the corner which, although a little pricey, is very pleasant. It is very close to the Station, Just a 10 minute walk and another 10 to Termini Station. Also There is free parking just outside reception
This is a good hotel, it is very decent , nice rooms(though I'm not sure if it has air conditioning), it is very close to the Metro, which was our main transportation throughout our trip. it also has a bus station a minute away that is also very usefull. Money well spent!
Very clean rooms, super friendly and helpful staff. We checked in early in the morning and were accommodated without charge. The breakfast was perfect. Make sure you get a few free cappuccino's from the Barista. The Nescafe machine is fine but the cappuccino's from the barrista (Coffee Bar) are better.
Summary
This is a great place for a short stay and it will likely make you want to come back again. The hotel isn't really central. The area is quite safe so really the location is pretty good. The rooms in the hotel are modern. Some of the hotel's staff seemed disinterested in helping with an incident at the hotel. It is worth mentioning that you can get a complimentary coffee from the barista. There is a coffee machine supplied here, which is fine. The parking at the hotel costs 12 a night.

Summary
The hotel is an ideal place for a short trip. The hotel is not in the centre of Rome. The rooms are mostly very clean and are quite decent with a modern feel to them. A downside was upon opening the window to find a lot of black mould. Some of the staff members didn't respond well to an issue that occurred. They showed no apathy or even any interest after the incident and that really let the staff down. The coffee here at the hotel is good and you can get free cappuccinos from the barista as well. The parking at the hotel can be expensive, costing around 12 per night.

Summary
An excellent hotel that comes highly recommended for short stays in Rome. This hotel is not based in the city centre. Well maintained rooms, that are cleaned to a reasonable standard. However, there is an issue with black mould around the windows, and there is no air conditioning available. Generally speaking the staff at this hotel are disinterested and apathetic. The breakfast at the hotel is good and offers a variety of options and you can get a free cappuccino from the barista. Car or van rental is an option but comes with a parking fee of 12 a night. Also, there is a Nescafe coffee machine which is ok but a barista is located nearby.
Reviews
You will be comfortable at this hotel. The rooms and baths are large; cleaning service is excellent. It is relatively quiet in busy, central Rome, therefore a very good location to stay for sightseeing. The main Metro terminal is a short walk away. Breakfast is entirely adequate and complimentary. There is a free Internet connection in the lobby and rooms are wired for the Internet. One caution: should you need to telephone the USA, the hotel phones offer a "1508" access code. While the connection is fast and clear, the charge for a timed brief call of two or theee minutes is over $40 usd. Use your ATT card for international calls and save.
having just returned from a weeks stay at the universo hotel,i found it to be good value for money,on our arrival we did not have the room we booked and were disappointed,when we brought this to the hotels attention our room was changed the next day which we were more than happy with,breakfast was also very good with lots to choose from,don't understand the negative comments regarding breakfast on some reviews.i would definately return to this hotel.
Hotel's location is amazing since its 2 mins walk from the main train station that will take u to airport in 25 mins. 10 mins away from downtown (walking) and around 15-20 from Coloseum ! Central location, with lots of hotels around Friendly staff, and really AMAZING breakfast. The restaurant is not the best you can get. Really nice rooms :)
We stayed 4 nights, and felt secure and comfortable. This is a fairly impersonal hotel, where the staff did not speak unless spoken to, although they were helpful when requests were made. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Our room was a loft, with the king bed up the stairs from the sitting area and bathroom. Several good restaurants nearby.
Good location if you plan to stay close to Termini rail station is a few minutes walk. Hotel itself not really impressive the rooms are very small with no drawers and a tiny bathroom with a shower only. Does have air conditioning which is about the only good part .Buffet Breakfast was good but overall I wouldnt stay again at this hotel
We stayed here twice in May and would happily stay again. The rooms were spacious, the breakfast was yum, and the staff were friendly and helpful. You could walk to a lot of Rome's attractions from here but we chose to use the hop on hop off bus which had a stop just around the corner.
Don't expect t set yur thermostat below 80 degrees. No matter what setting you use, the front desk controls the room temperature and will not set it below 26 Celsius, or 78 Fahrenheit. Disgusting sleeping temperature, and of course does not make for a good vacation. Never again.
We had a great stay. Close to the train station and many attractions. We walked all over Rome from here. Great breakfast, clean rooms, but the staff was makes it extra special.
Summary
The hotel made guests feel safe and comfortable. Everything is accessible from this hotel, which is really useful for exploring the city. There are lots of attractions you can reach by foot. The hotel has adequate rooms with air conditioning and the internet was available. The staff of this hotel allowed a call to the USA using the hotel phones. The complimentary breakfast buffet provided by the hotel was generally good, but the restaurant left a bit to be desired. The temperature at this hotel did not help when trying to sleep and unfortunately the charge for a brief call is really expensive.

Guests are made to feel very secure and comfortable at this hotel. The hotel's relatively quiet location is centralized in Rome and close to several other hotels, good restaurants. So much is within easy walking distance and a lot of Rome is very accessible this way. Very spacious rooms for guests to enjoy, with air conditioning for guests to make good use off. This hotel has a fantastic breakfast on offer and it is complimentary though the restaurant could be better. The phone charges for a brief call was over $40.

This place can be summed up in one word . flawless ! Located across the street from the most beautiful beach in Key West - Smathers Beach and literally 1.7 miles from Duval street it is prefect! The service was fantastic, the grounds are very well kept, with a cool pool. and the piece de Resistance . the room - comfortable, huge, it is literally the size of a small apartment, with a small kitchenette, a dining table a huge couch and and super comfortable bed, oh yeah and the bathroom is also pretty darn big. We had a magical weekend staying here and every went on without a hitch, good laid back service at a very reasonable price. This is the place to stay in Key West. Since we brought our bikes, we did not have to move our car at all in the 3 days we were there, Duval street is just a short ride from the hotel. don't own a bike? Or don't feel like shipping them down with you ? No problem, the hotel has plenty of bikes for rent as well.
The hotel has a great location, across from the beach and away from Duval street, but a free shuttle every hour into town and airport. Rooms are all suites large and comfortable with microwave and wet bars, living room areas , well designed space with pocket doors to close off the bedroom for privacy. Comfortable beds and nice vanity area, lots of storage space. We were a large group and treated very well. The restaurant staff was particularly accomodating. As people in our group trickled into the restaurant , we kept adding to tables, asked for separate checks etc and it was never a problem. Many of us asked for a late checkout last minute and they accomodated as many as possible. Pool was heated and lovely, a hot tub in the corner. Restaurant closed at 9 and bar at 11pm, a little early for our crowd and Key West but that is my only complaint.
The hotel was decorated beautifully for X-mas and I loved the Palm trees with Christmas lights! The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rate was what is to be expected for Key West, right by the airport! The beach is across the street from the hotel with multiple activities for one to participate in. Since the hotel is out of the was a smidge, they offer shuttles, numerous shuttles to all the hot spots in Key West. The rooms were beautiful, and very clean, unless you looked directly behind the toilet, which could use a little extra scrubbing. I would stay here again, tomorrow!
The hotel is an all suite hotel so the rooms were very spacious and allowed us to kick back in our room mid afternoons and mornings. If you like a slower pace and a public beach across the street, this is a good place to stay. You will have to drive or take the shuttle to Duval Street area and the shuttle is only once an hour. Parking in the Duval Street area will cost from $10 to $35 per day.
I took my girlfriend here for a long weekend and to propose. The hotel was great, obviously, it wasn't a St Regis or even a Westin, but it was very nice, very functional and enjoyable. The food and services were VERY expensive. I thought they took care of us well even though we were staying on points for free.
This hotel has huge rooms and bathrooms and is in a great location across from the beach and close to the airport. Great food in the restaurant and staff is wonderful! I highly recommend to anyone needing some extra space and doesnt care about being downtown!
Large, modern, clean rooms across from one of the few beaches in Key West. While far from downtown, this hotel offers a lot of comfort, a nice little pool, and regular shuttle service. We would stay there again!
We went to enjoy Key West and our daughters were so excited and this motel was a complete disappointment! Dirty, unsafe, only thing really redone was the lobby! Elevators were very scary, our daughters would not even ride without us.
Summary
The hotel is recommended and the staff there were friendly and helpful to guests.

Since we brought our bikes, we did not have to move our car at all in the 3 days we were there, Duval street is just a short ride from the hotel. don't own a bike? Or don't feel like shipping them down with you ? No problem, the hotel has plenty of bikes for rent as well.
The hotel has a great location, across from the beach and away from Duval street, but a free shuttle every hour into town and airport. Rooms are all suites large and comfortable with microwave and wet bars, living room areas , well designed space with pocket doors to close off the bedroom for privacy. Comfortable beds and nice vanity area, lots of storage space. We were a large group and treated very well. The restaurant staff was particularly accomodating. As people in our group trickled into the restaurant , we kept adding to tables, asked for separate checks etc and it was never a problem. Many of us asked for a late checkout last minute and they accomodated as many as possible. Pool was heated and lovely, a hot tub in the corner. Restaurant closed at 9 and bar at 11pm, a little early for our crowd and Key West but that is my only complaint.
The hotel was decorated beautifully for X-mas and I loved the Palm trees with Christmas lights! The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rate was what is to be expected for Key West, right by the airport! The beach is across the street from the hotel with multiple activities for one to participate in. Since the hotel is out of the was a smidge, they offer shuttles, numerous shuttles to all the hot spots in Key West. The rooms were beautiful, and very clean, unless you looked directly behind the toilet, which could use a little extra scrubbing. I would stay here again, tomorrow!
The hotel is an all suite hotel so the rooms were very spacious and allowed us to kick back in our room mid afternoons and mornings. If you like a slower pace and a public beach across the street, this is a good place to stay. You will have to drive or take the shuttle to Duval Street area and the shuttle is only once an hour. Parking in the Duval Street area will cost from $10 to $35 per day.
I took my girlfriend here for a long weekend and to propose. The hotel was great, obviously, it wasn't a St Regis or even a Westin, but it was very nice, very functional and enjoyable. The food and services were VERY expensive. I thought they took care of us well even though we were staying on points for free.
This hotel has huge rooms and bathrooms and is in a great location across from the beach and close to the airport. Great food in the restaurant and staff is wonderful! I highly recommend to anyone needing some extra space and doesnt care about being downtown!
Large, modern, clean rooms across from one of the few beaches in Key West. While far from downtown, this hotel offers a lot of comfort, a nice little pool, and regular shuttle service. We would stay there again!
We went to enjoy Key West and our daughters were so excited and this motel was a complete disappointment! Dirty, unsafe, only thing really redone was the lobby! Elevators were very scary, our daughters would not even ride without us.
Summary
This hotel is highly recommended especially because the staff provide a good service that is both friendly and always helpful.

If you are looking for complete peace, beauty, and relaxation away from the crazy commercialism of Cancun, this is the place. The resort is located only 45 minutes south of the Cancun airport and the resort will arrange for transportation to and from the airport for you. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and will go out of their way to assist you with whatever you may need. The property itself is very beautiful and landscaped throughout with lush gardens. It is as close to paradise as one can get. Mahekal is in walking distance of 5th Avenue (main strip for shopping, restaraunts, etc.) Mahekal has a wonderful wedding planner on staff who helped arrange everything for my wedding from the flowers to the hair dresser, photographer and priest. The resort and beach is beautiful, the food is outstanding, the people are extremely friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is completely relaxing. Without a doubt, this is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and am looking forward to going back again this year.and hopefully many more to come.
A most relaxing holiday spot.the staff worked so hard to repair the hurricane damage,but in such a unobtrusive way that one's stay there was not impaired in the least.The beach area was always tidy,ample beds and shade,good service at all times and the room was directly facing the sand.blissful.I confess I didn't want to do anything but take to my sunbed,read,swim,bask and take refreshment.I felt secure there at all times;there was always an attendant around even at night but again without having a strong-arm presence.The hotel guests were obviously having a good time;the friendly approach of the dining attendants ensured this at meal-times.The towels in the rooms were "sculptured" into an array of animals,with a new piece of artwork appearing at every room service. And as a final touch.on the morning of our departure,we were given a breakfast box;this contained appetising food and drink. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.a credit to Mexico and a jewel in the Yucatan!
My wife and I really enjoyed the Mahekal - the staff was very friendly, food was excellent, rooms very comfortable. This is a very low-key facility - rooms do not have TVs, radios or even clocks - but the beds are comfortable and the showers work well. We stayed in the Garden area which was quite nice - and still only a short walk to the beach. Every room has a sheltered porch with two hammocks and a table and chairs. The location is near (a couple of blocks away) from the main shopping street. The beach is well maintained. All-in-all, a very nice place and a good value. A few complaints - could use better internet accessibility and some of the hotels in the area have music blasting a bit too loudly at times.
16 years and still coming back. It is such a fun, laid back, wonderfully relaxing place without a phone in your room or a tv blaring in your ear. Kids around the pool, adults talking, the sound of wind, waves, and yet it is quiet. Excellent staff, food, and you sit next to the ocean or inside comfort.it is not at all like an all inclusive, thank goodness. It is specially unique.
Clean hotel rooms, large tiled bathrooms, fans and air conditioning make for excellent cabana-like rooms. Each equipped with two hammocks for a lazy day at the beach. The sand is clean and pure, the food is excellent (2 meals a day are inclusive) and the location is central to every shop, restaurant and anything else you could want. This is truely a diamond in the rough.
Can't say enough about this place. We spent five days there and didn't want to leave. The atmosphere enables you to truly escape the realities of life. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We'll be back!
This is a great place to stay! Everything was perfect, from the gorgeous beach, 2 big pools, to the ping pong tables. Everyone can find something to enjoy! We loved it!
Terrific place to stay, quite, good food unbelievable beach. Close to shopping and restaurants. Staff is the best, always happy and willing to help in any way. .
Summary
Staff in this hotel are always very helpful as well as friendly, which will definitely make you want to come back. The hotel is located just a short walk away from the beach, too.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hyatt - had a nice room (paid for an upgraded water view, which was nice to have), the staff was friendly and helpful, the location is perfect and we had a very decent rate. The lobbies were pretty nice, but we didn't hang out there or eat at any of the places. We walked most places (or took a cab if our destination was really far), even in the middle of winter. I try not to be too picky about these things, but our room was dusty the whole time we were there. It was enough to be noticed, so it should have been cleaned by the staff. Also, we weren't very fond of the bed. It was a bit on the hard side and wasn't exactly plus. It wasn't horrible though. Again, not horrible, but our room was very hot no matter how we set the temp at.
Overall the hotel is ok, very busy and noisy. Valet parking is the only choice you have and an additional $50 for every 24 hours. Valet parking stole our Ipod so they told us to fill out a claims report which we did and then we had to wait more than a week to call the claims department because the one and only person they have working claims was on vacation. Once I was able to talk to the claims department she was no help at all. She basically called me a liar and we will not be getting reimbursed for the loss of our IPod. I am furious that it cost me $50 per day extra and then we will have to pay another $250 + to replace our IPod.
I stayed here for two nights to partake in the Chicago St. Patricks festivities. Check in went super fast, and we were given a room the was so newly remodeled you could still catch a whiff of the fresh paint. It overlooked the river, which made for some great shots when they dyed it! Also, they allowed us a late check out of 2pm, at no charge, in order to not miss the parade. The beds were amazing, as was the bathroom. Plenty of space, with a very nice desk set up. And being one block from Michigan, and a 10 minute walk to Navy Pier, this is a great location. Couldn't have been more pleased with this hotel.
We loved our stay at the Hyatt Regency. I really don't think there is a better location in downtown. So conveniently located off the river and a short jaunt to Michigan Ave, Grant Park, and Navy Pier. I have already recommended this hotel to other travelers heading to Chicago. I would say, however, the dining in the hotel is pretty pricey. So, if you are looking to save a few bucks get outside of the four walls of the hotel. That being said, I will still always stay at this hotel when traveling to Chicago, with out a doubt.
I stayed two nights on business. The location was great and the room was very nice. The price was $25-$30 cheaper than any comparable hotels in the area. I had two minor complaints. The closet door was off the track, and wouldn't open when I checked in, and they didn't fix it the second day. Also, the Big Bar closed early, and the bartender was not very polite about letting me know before last call. Other than that, I would highly recommend the place.
As a hotel, it's very nice, with very nice amenitiies, but it's also expensive. Canned soft drink in the mini-bar cost $4.25, and Internet use in the business center was something like $10 for 7 minutes (or was that $7 for 10 minutes?). Location is good. If price is no object, it's a good choice, but there are better bargains in the area.
The Hyatt is recently remodeled and very nice. The staff was extremely friendly and always helpful. The location is centrally located on the mag mile and we could easily walk to all there was to do downtown. Will definitely stay here again. Classy but not stuffy.
Stayed there Feb 2005. A former jewel that has fallen into disrepair. The hotel is dark, and shabby. Even the newer wing is not up to par. If you stay in the Loop area, try the Burham instead.
Summary
The staff here at the hotel will do all they can to provide a helpful and friendly service. Owing to this as well as the great location of the hotel makes it very easy to return.

My wife and I stayed at the XV Beacon recently and from the minute we got out of our car (valet right at the entrance) to the minute we left the service/staff was exceptional. The rooms were beautiful and very clean and much larger than we expected from a historical building. There wasn't anything that had been left out, from the stereo playing when we entered the room to the weather report for the next day sitting on the night stand! The hotel is located right in the heart of Boston next to the Common and a few minutes walk to the waterfront, the possibilities are endless for restaurants and night life. We would definitely go back to this hotel, combined with the location we had a great experience!
I stayed at this hotel while traveling on business and it was by far the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. The second I walked in the room, I knew that I wasn't going to want to leave and ordered myself some room service. It has a very classic style with every modern convenience you could hope for. The bed is very comfortable and the fireplace makes it very cozy. It wasn't cold enough for me to really use the fireplace but I did anyway and cranked up the AC. The shower was also fantastic. I immediately declared that I needed to get myself a rainshower as soon as I was able! It is a pricey hotel but definitely worth it if you can swing it!
My boyfriend has stayed here several times for business trips but this was our first leisure visit-service remains impeccable. Still received his personalized business cards and professional attentive service. Rooftop is a nice touch on a warn day to share a bottle of wine. Hotel car service was a great perk as well and we used it every night to go to our dinners around town. I am a huge product snob-the Lemon Sugar line from Fresh that they provide in the rooms has made me a regular user. And the location is perfect-within walking distance to everywhere. When it's colder out, we will return and use the fireplace in our beautiful room.
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights over the Labor Day weekend, the same number of nights as we stayed in October 2007. An elegant, small hotel! The front desk and room service staffs, the concierges, restaurant and in-room breakfasts, and the chauffeured car service were all excellent. Our room (#407) was very elegant and quiet, was on the west side of the building, and had windows on 2 walls. Our only problem was that the sink taps were very tight.
We were on a business/leisure trip. It was a high star rating and deserved it. Around the corner from Boston Common, Fanueiul Hall, etc. Easy to get to city centre. The hotel breakfast was fantastic, if expensive. Every dish was amazing. When in Boston city, the Mapparium is worth a visit, along with the top of the Prudential building, to get a great idea of where everything is. There are some great museums to visit.
as local residents and first time guests, we found this hotel exceeded our expectations. staff were nothing but attentive and hospitable. our room was upgraded upon arrival; we couldn't have asked for more. this is a lovely hotel with not only luxurious amenities but superb staff. we can't wait to return!
I stayed a few weeks ago at this hotel and I heard everything! The walls are thin as paper as i heard every conversation from the room next door. I apprectiate that some builings in boston are older, but if you own a hotel you must do something ot soudnproof it!
Favourite hotel in Boston. Modern luxury without seeming formulaic. Good for indulgent weekends in town.

The rooms of the hotel were clean and it is located perfectly for Boston.

I traveled here for business for the first time and was somewhat disappointed. There is only wireless internet service in most of the rooms, which I can not use with my office laptop for security reasons. I had to switch rooms in order to have high speed internet access. and the internet service seemed to work only some of the time. The connection wasn't working consistently and nobody in the hotel could help. They offered a toll free number for the tech people at the DSL company. The front desk failed to provide me with my mini-bar key and the mirror in the bathroom had a huge crack in it. There were many many tourists in the hotel, which isn't good for business travelers because they tend to make a lot of noise. I don't think I'll travel here again unless I am a tourist.
I stay at this hotel very frequently, and every single time, my experience has been fabulous. The hotel is right in the downtown area and 5 min. walk from South Station which really helps me as I frequently take the train from/to New York. The rooms are really nice, bathrooms and linen really clean and above all else, the staff is some of the most friendly I have ever come across, rifht from the front desk to the concierge and housekeeping. Samir Boukhari, the front desk manager is delightfully courteous and has always gone out of his way to help and make my stay very comfortable every single time. Dianna, Aruna and Lexi at the front desk and Anthony with the concierge are wonderful as ever. I would stay here as long as business/pleasure keeps taking me into Boston.
We stayed here for business. It was in a great location, close to the theater district, shopping, etc. There is only one restaurant and a very small bar in the hotel. It would have been nice to have additional options. There were restaurants close by, but again, it would have been nice to have had the convenience of additional dining places. The fitness center was so so. I was very disappointed that there was a charge for internet. When paying the price we paid per night, that should have been included in the room cost. Great concierges.
We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Boston for one night during Memorial Day weekend. The staff was great, we were upgraded to a Terrace Suite when we checked in. It was beautiful and very clean/pleasant, although you can't actually go out onto the Terrace so that was bittersweet. We ordered room service which was excellent! The breakfast buffet was wonderful as well! Great location to all of Boston. Overall a great trip! Will return to this hotel whenever we are in Boston.
When we booked this hotel we were worried because we saw more negative reviews than good at that time. I have no complainst.the staff was very helpful, the in house restaurant was excellent, the rooms were very clean. Very close to Macy's, TJ Maxx and Marshall's. . .walking distance to all other sites that we wanted to see. . . The only thing I can say negatively is paying for WIFI but that is a problem with all hotels.
hi, i have read all the reviews and they are a bit mixed.We have just stayed there n i have to say it 's great.Its a central location - we hired a car and left it back 4 days early as parking is so expensive-unless u have to dont hire a car-otherwise park it in the place out in front of the hotel its the cheapest we checked them all i have the sore feet to prove it!
Disappointing when hotels such as this still charge for wifi access. We didn't get notified verbally about the complimentary breakfast either although it was no doubt in the fine print somewhere. Rooms were nice and clean although a little boring and the bed not that comfortable. Can't fault the location, it was very easy to get anywhere with the subway station a few hundred metres away.
Great location and greater service at this Hyatt in Boston. No more convient place to stay. Came in by train and never needed to have a car. You are right in the middle of everything! The hotel & service is top notch and this isn't my first stay in Boston!

There is only wireless internet service in most of the rooms, which I can not use with my office laptop for security reasons. I had to switch rooms in order to have high speed internet access. and the internet service seemed to work only some of the time. The connection wasn't working consistently and nobody in the hotel could help. They offered a toll free number for the tech people at the DSL company. The front desk failed to provide me with my mini-bar key and the mirror in the bathroom had a huge crack in it. There were many many tourists in the hotel, which isn't good for business travelers because they tend to make a lot of noise. I don't think I'll travel here again unless I am a tourist.
I stay at this hotel very frequently, and every single time, my experience has been fabulous. The hotel is right in the downtown area and 5 min. walk from South Station which really helps me as I frequently take the train from/to New York. The rooms are really nice, bathrooms and linen really clean and above all else, the staff is some of the most friendly I have ever come across, rifht from the front desk to the concierge and housekeeping. Samir Boukhari, the front desk manager is delightfully courteous and has always gone out of his way to help and make my stay very comfortable every single time. Dianna, Aruna and Lexi at the front desk and Anthony with the concierge are wonderful as ever. I would stay here as long as business/pleasure keeps taking me into Boston.
We stayed here for business. It was in a great location, close to the theater district, shopping, etc. There is only one restaurant and a very small bar in the hotel. It would have been nice to have additional options. There were restaurants close by, but again, it would have been nice to have had the convenience of additional dining places. The fitness center was so so. I was very disappointed that there was a charge for internet. When paying the price we paid per night, that should have been included in the room cost. Great concierges.
We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Boston for one night during Memorial Day weekend. The staff was great, we were upgraded to a Terrace Suite when we checked in. It was beautiful and very clean/pleasant, although you can't actually go out onto the Terrace so that was bittersweet. We ordered room service which was excellent! The breakfast buffet was wonderful as well! Great location to all of Boston. Overall a great trip! Will return to this hotel whenever we are in Boston.
When we booked this hotel we were worried because we saw more negative reviews than good at that time. I have no complainst.the staff was very helpful, the in house restaurant was excellent, the rooms were very clean. Very close to Macy's, TJ Maxx and Marshall's. . .walking distance to all other sites that we wanted to see. . . The only thing I can say negatively is paying for WIFI but that is a problem with all hotels.
hi, i have read all the reviews and they are a bit mixed.We have just stayed there n i have to say it 's great.Its a central location - we hired a car and left it back 4 days early as parking is so expensive-unless u have to dont hire a car-otherwise park it in the place out in front of the hotel its the cheapest we checked them all i have the sore feet to prove it!
Disappointing when hotels such as this still charge for wifi access. We didn't get notified verbally about the complimentary breakfast either although it was no doubt in the fine print somewhere. Rooms were nice and clean although a little boring and the bed not that comfortable. Can't fault the location, it was very easy to get anywhere with the subway station a few hundred metres away.
Great location and greater service at this Hyatt in Boston. No more convient place to stay. Came in by train and never needed to have a car. You are right in the middle of everything! The hotel & service is top notch and this isn't my first stay in Boston!
Summary
The rooms were very clean and the service excellent.

I have stayed here three times -all on business trips where the hotel was booked for me. In fact, there are many meetings held here, and so you might find yourself surrounded by a large group of businessmen - not necessarily a bad thing -but just be aware. The two lifts are small and infrequent, and so you may have to wait a long time - which is annoying if you are on the top floors. The location is great for seeing Barcelona -you can reach most of the central sights by foot -including the Gaudi cathedral. Very near to a metro line , which is also a bonus. Rooms are fine -just try to get one facing the courtyard at the back -the ones to the front can be noisy. Biggest disappointment was the breakfast -17 for a very poor selection - definitely not worth it. I didn`t bother after the first morning.
We got a really good deal on the rooms at this hotel and, therefore, it was worth what we paid for it. However, I would have been dissapointed if we had payed full price for this. We went in january which I know is not in season however, the terraces were closed and the pools were not open. They were also doing refurbishment works to one of the terraces, none of this was really communicated until you checked in. The room was a reasonable size as we had one at the end of a corridor and the bed was comfy. The bathrooms however, need some updating, they were tired and not in the best condition. Also be warned if you stay on the front of the hotel, the spanish like to beep their horns and this can be disturbing.
Second time in this hotel and kinda disappointed. Rooms are ok and it is a good value for money mainly due to the great location on Paseig de Gracia, but the service does not seem to care so much about their customers. They are physically present behind the desk, but it stops here. It seems that they are breathing boredom. If you go to Barcelona for a short weekend and do not plan to spend too much time at the hotel, it'll be alright. If not, i'm sure you can pick a better place where the service will show you a more positive and customer focused attitude.
The hotel staff was very helpful, rooms very modern with everything that we could think of. It is a short walk away from Gaudi's Casa Batllo, la Pedrera and a bit longer to la Sagrada Familia, the location couldn't be better! Within a couple of blocks it has many restaurants to chose from and can't forget to mention that it's in a great shopping area. From now on the place where we'll stay when visiting Barcelona.
Great hotel! i can only think of a few things wrong with our stay, for one, breakfast was not worth the price paid and room service was a bit overpriced as well, but with such a wide variety of other places to eat in barcelona, it didn{t really mattter much. The standard room was small but then again the bed was huge! and the location. it can't get eny better!
This hotel is located in a great location however is very expensive. If your looking for a place near Gaudi's buildings and shopping areas, then stay here.
A lovely pillow menu.WOW.rooms excellent.location is very central and many many shops near the hotel, staff very helpful. A bit pricey but Lovely
Great place and location. Would defo stay here again. Loved it. Go see it.

The location of the hotel is near to the city centre.

If you are looking for complete peace, beauty, and relaxation away from the crazy commercialism of Cancun, this is the place. The resort is located only 45 minutes south of the Cancun airport and the resort will arrange for transportation to and from the airport for you. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and will go out of their way to assist you with whatever you may need. The property itself is very beautiful and landscaped throughout with lush gardens. It is as close to paradise as one can get. Mahekal is in walking distance of 5th Avenue (main strip for shopping, restaraunts, etc.) Mahekal has a wonderful wedding planner on staff who helped arrange everything for my wedding from the flowers to the hair dresser, photographer and priest. The resort and beach is beautiful, the food is outstanding, the people are extremely friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is completely relaxing. Without a doubt, this is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and am looking forward to going back again this year.and hopefully many more to come.
A most relaxing holiday spot.the staff worked so hard to repair the hurricane damage,but in such a unobtrusive way that one's stay there was not impaired in the least.The beach area was always tidy,ample beds and shade,good service at all times and the room was directly facing the sand.blissful.I confess I didn't want to do anything but take to my sunbed,read,swim,bask and take refreshment.I felt secure there at all times;there was always an attendant around even at night but again without having a strong-arm presence.The hotel guests were obviously having a good time;the friendly approach of the dining attendants ensured this at meal-times.The towels in the rooms were "sculptured" into an array of animals,with a new piece of artwork appearing at every room service. And as a final touch.on the morning of our departure,we were given a breakfast box;this contained appetising food and drink. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.a credit to Mexico and a jewel in the Yucatan!
My wife and I really enjoyed the Mahekal - the staff was very friendly, food was excellent, rooms very comfortable. This is a very low-key facility - rooms do not have TVs, radios or even clocks - but the beds are comfortable and the showers work well. We stayed in the Garden area which was quite nice - and still only a short walk to the beach. Every room has a sheltered porch with two hammocks and a table and chairs. The location is near (a couple of blocks away) from the main shopping street. The beach is well maintained. All-in-all, a very nice place and a good value. A few complaints - could use better internet accessibility and some of the hotels in the area have music blasting a bit too loudly at times.
16 years and still coming back. It is such a fun, laid back, wonderfully relaxing place without a phone in your room or a tv blaring in your ear. Kids around the pool, adults talking, the sound of wind, waves, and yet it is quiet. Excellent staff, food, and you sit next to the ocean or inside comfort.it is not at all like an all inclusive, thank goodness. It is specially unique.
Clean hotel rooms, large tiled bathrooms, fans and air conditioning make for excellent cabana-like rooms. Each equipped with two hammocks for a lazy day at the beach. The sand is clean and pure, the food is excellent (2 meals a day are inclusive) and the location is central to every shop, restaurant and anything else you could want. This is truely a diamond in the rough.
Can't say enough about this place. We spent five days there and didn't want to leave. The atmosphere enables you to truly escape the realities of life. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We'll be back!
This is a great place to stay! Everything was perfect, from the gorgeous beach, 2 big pools, to the ping pong tables. Everyone can find something to enjoy! We loved it!
Terrific place to stay, quite, good food unbelievable beach. Close to shopping and restaurants. Staff is the best, always happy and willing to help in any way. .

This hotel is situated at around 10 min by cab from the center (barrio gotico). Must be max 10 years old. Can be reached also by tram or metro. Rooms are clean, beds a bit hard. Bar is OK and the patio too but mostly in the shadom in the evening. Rooms that had a sea view don't have it anymore (see previous reviews). A bit expensive for the location and the lack of view (my room had a view on a skeleton building (crisis, what crisis?) on the side of the hotel, not charming at all). The pool on the 17th is not heated, so quite difficult to swim at this time of the year, nice view on the utility building on the other side and on the sea and beach, plus power plant for the rest.
The rooms and prices looked good and the pool looked attractive online, however the reality was different. I booked a family room which is really 2 separate bedrooms next to each other behind another door for privacy which was meant to lock but didn't. My kids room smelt like someone had smoked 100 cigarettes in it and had drugs and booze on the table when we checked in. They cleaned but the smell didn't go away for all 3 days and they would not change the rooms. The pool is tiny and over crowded with hardly any beds to lie on which is quite difficult with kids in a very hot city. Well done for offering free WiFi but making people check into your Facebook page every time is very irritating. Overall it is good value but it is most suited to weekend getaways for young party couples or mates.
I stayed in the diagonal zero for 4 nights while attending a congress. The area near the hotel is not nice, however, the metro station is nearby and you can visit the centre in a few minutes The rooms are spacious, mattress is moderate, views are poor. The decoration is modern but on the poor side. Breakfast was ok, but i consider it unacceptable to drink disgusting coffee from a machine in a 4 star hotel.it shows lack of respect for the client. The Personnel was very polite. There is a very good gym in the hotel and free wifi which is very important.
We only stayed one night but had most of 2 days sightseeing in Barcelona with fairly grown up family in 2 bedrooms. Hotel happy to look after our luggage. Perhaps in an area a bit far from the character of Barcelona, but very convenient for tram and subway. Also large shopping centre close by with lots of dining choice. Pool a bit crowded as our trip was in the heat of August and slightly disappointing that they charged for towel use. Very helpful porter showed us control panel for lights/aircon etc - all very hi-tech.
Recently stayed here and was very impressed with this hotel. Friendly staff, good clean rooms and quiet so sleep no problem. The beach is with 10 mins walking distance from the hotel and 5 mins walk from a great shopping mall Diagonal Mar where there are lots of great restaurants. The metro is a 2 min walk and a 10 min journey or 6 stops to the centre of the city with no changes. We loved it!
I stay for 3 nights in a business trip, the hotel is beautiful and the room was suburb. Its far from the city town but have the beach nearby and a subway station pretty close. For sure I will come back again
We stayed for five nights at this hotel for a conference. By the end we couldn't wait to leave due to the monotonous breakfast, below par cleanliness, and cold decor.
Wonderful hotel just a short metro ride away from Barcelona attractions, with gorgeous rooftop pool. Excellent customer service.

I was lucky enough to be able to accompany my husband on a business trip to the Gaylord Palms Resort. We were thrilled from beginning to end. We pulled up to the magnificent resort and were delighted at the front desk with warm welcomes and friendly personalities from all. The front desk engaged us both in conversation and gave many tips on how I could enjoy the resort while my husband was working. Our room in the Emeral Bay section of the hotel was very clean and whenever we needed anything (toiletries, turn down service, directions) we dialed #88 on our room phone and were connected to friendly staff with all the answers! I explored resturants, the spa, and the pools and truly enjoyed my relaxing few days at this resort. I recommended this hotel to couples, families, business travelers, and soloists.
We loved the hotel and the grounds. We got an incredible deal on hotwire, so we couldn't beat the value. The service was excellent. We were traveling with two small children and they were very accomodating. The only complaint was that the food was very expensive. We were not traveling on an expense account and we had failed to rent a car, so our dining options were limited to the Resort. A simple continental breakfast cost us over $8-too much to spend on a bowl of cereal and a banana for a two year old. The restaurants were very expensive and we wound up ordering in pizza one night. But if you're on an expense account or have a car to get to the store (each room has a refrigerator) or to other dining options, this is a fantastic place to stay.
I have stayed at the gaylord Palms for the past couple of years for a yearly convention . I love this place and the friendly service we receive while there . I'm sure the prices are higher than other hotels , but I feel we get what we pay for . I do think the boat could be a little better as far as the food they serve . etc. . I look forward to this as a weekend spot every year for my convention and while I am only an hour away after the weekend we feel like we have had a mini vacation . I wouldn't change one thing about my stay except that I would love to be able to stay a week . I look forward to this years convention and the fun times my kids will have
Most rooms overlook an interior, glass covered courtyard which reminded me of the habitats you see at the zoo. If you are the spouse of a convention goer, you are trapped there. There is nothing to do but sit at the pool or work out if you don't want to go to Disney World. Even the chairs and benches are uncomfortable and designed to make you move on. I longed to find a window and look out at the real world.
The Shrek the Halls display was very cool (no pun intended). It's quite chilly, but very neat to see all the figures made of ice. The ICE attraction with the snow was very simple. Young children that have never seen snow would appreciate it,but that's about it. Our 9 year old was very bored. Thought the prices were quite expensive. Plus it's $13 to park.ugh!
Our 1 bedroom suite was spectacular! Large bedroom and living room each with flat screen in HD. Wifi throughout the facility. Very clean resort. Beautiful atriums with fish, alligators etc. Daily feedings with question and answer periods. Many restaurants and bars located within. Only minutes from Disney. Golf nearby at Celebration with preferred rates when booked through the concierge. Nothing bad to say at all
Brought my mother to celebrate her b-day. Both restaurants where we dined were very good - cannot say enough great things about Old Hickory. The steak was one of the best I've had. The massage was terrific and you must wear their most comfortable robe back to your room. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitley stay there again.
Visited the Gaylord Palms this past weekend and was definitely impressed. Rooms extremely clean, staff very helpful, check-in was speedy, and activities to keep my son occupied for awhile. I definitely will be visiting again. Beautiful hotel, great staff and great location.

Would recommend the hotel. The staff of the hotel were very helpful.

Most rooms overlook an interior, glass covered courtyard which reminded me of the habitats you see at the zoo. If you are the spouse of a convention goer, you are trapped there. There is nothing to do but sit at the pool or work out if you don't want to go to Disney World. Even the chairs and benches are uncomfortable and designed to make you move on. I longed to find a window and look out at the real world.
The Shrek the Halls display was very cool (no pun intended). It's quite chilly, but very neat to see all the figures made of ice. The ICE attraction with the snow was very simple. Young children that have never seen snow would appreciate it,but that's about it. Our 9 year old was very bored. Thought the prices were quite expensive. Plus it's $13 to park.ugh!
Our 1 bedroom suite was spectacular! Large bedroom and living room each with flat screen in HD. Wifi throughout the facility. Very clean resort. Beautiful atriums with fish, alligators etc. Daily feedings with question and answer periods. Many restaurants and bars located within. Only minutes from Disney. Golf nearby at Celebration with preferred rates when booked through the concierge. Nothing bad to say at all
Brought my mother to celebrate her b-day. Both restaurants where we dined were very good - cannot say enough great things about Old Hickory. The steak was one of the best I've had. The massage was terrific and you must wear their most comfortable robe back to your room. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitley stay there again.
Visited the Gaylord Palms this past weekend and was definitely impressed. Rooms extremely clean, staff very helpful, check-in was speedy, and activities to keep my son occupied for awhile. I definitely will be visiting again. Beautiful hotel, great staff and great location.
Summary
The service provided by the friendly staff here was really excellent. Overall a very recommended hotel.

I was lucky enough to be able to accompany my husband on a business trip to the Gaylord Palms Resort. We were thrilled from beginning to end. We pulled up to the magnificent resort and were delighted at the front desk with warm welcomes and friendly personalities from all. The front desk engaged us both in conversation and gave many tips on how I could enjoy the resort while my husband was working. Our room in the Emeral Bay section of the hotel was very clean and whenever we needed anything (toiletries, turn down service, directions) we dialed #88 on our room phone and were connected to friendly staff with all the answers! I explored resturants, the spa, and the pools and truly enjoyed my relaxing few days at this resort. I recommended this hotel to couples, families, business travelers, and soloists.
We loved the hotel and the grounds. We got an incredible deal on hotwire, so we couldn't beat the value. The service was excellent. We were traveling with two small children and they were very accomodating. The only complaint was that the food was very expensive. We were not traveling on an expense account and we had failed to rent a car, so our dining options were limited to the Resort. A simple continental breakfast cost us over $8-too much to spend on a bowl of cereal and a banana for a two year old. The restaurants were very expensive and we wound up ordering in pizza one night. But if you're on an expense account or have a car to get to the store (each room has a refrigerator) or to other dining options, this is a fantastic place to stay.
I have stayed at the gaylord Palms for the past couple of years for a yearly convention . I love this place and the friendly service we receive while there . I'm sure the prices are higher than other hotels , but I feel we get what we pay for . I do think the boat could be a little better as far as the food they serve . etc. . I look forward to this as a weekend spot every year for my convention and while I am only an hour away after the weekend we feel like we have had a mini vacation . I wouldn't change one thing about my stay except that I would love to be able to stay a week . I look forward to this years convention and the fun times my kids will have

We were originally due to stay for 10 nights and we booked for three people - my teenager daughter and her friend and myself. On arrival in the room the beds were very small double beds and only two of them - I spoke to the manager who said that all the rooms were exactly the same (untrue) and that for an extra $10 we could have a rollaway bed. The rooms are far too small for more than two people. The site is not well maintained and the pool not clean. We were then stranded due to the volcano and having enquired about staying for an additional five nights was told that we could have a special price of $39 per night - only to find out on the website for the hotel that the cost for that period of time would be $32 per night. Scammed! I would not recommend this hotel to anyone - there are far better places to stay which are closer to the amenities.
This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and both times have been totally trouble free. We stayed for 10 nights and had no problems. The room was clean and was cleaned every day, towels and bed sheets changed we came back every day to a spotless room. We only seen reception staff to check in and out but they seemed friendly enough and there were no additional charges over what we paid when we booked. The location is exellent, took about 10 mins to get to disney and about 20 mins to Universal and Seaworld. Aircon and tv worked well and there was always a parking space outside our room despite the hotel being quite busy over spring break. I will definatly stay here again if back in Orlando :)
The "Hotel" is actually like something straight out of My Name is Earl. Filthy carpets, bugs in the refridgerator and all over the room. Horrendously misrepresented by the pictures on the website, the bbq area and lagoon are disgraceful. I paid for 2 star Quality, but would never stay here, recommend it, etc. In fairness the staff are very friendly and all issues raised were dealt with, they seem to know with the quality of their resort, they HAVE to provide good service. Bar is very reasonable, with Long Island Iced tea recommended. My honest advice, not even worth the small amount paid, I will never stay here again, you have been warned!
Is a nice hotel with many amenities, room service was excellent. The shuttle was not so confy, because run for 3 hotels, but Champions is the first so you can have a seat haha. If you have a car, fine, because if you don't have a car you don't have many alternatives to eat. I like this hotel and really recomend it. This hotel is near to a Chinese buffett, Dominos Pizza, Pizza Hut, Walgreens, McDonalds.
This is one of my favorite hotels in Kissimmee. It is a Instead super comfortable, accessible parks and disney all the best places you can eat in your vacation. The attention is very satisfactory. I have two Sometimes visiting this hotel and will not be the last. since its price and the comfort of your rooms make your stay a very welcoming.
I had a lovey stay. The resort is a value, and taking the back road on Sherberth, I traveled to Disney in 6 minutes. The staff is warm and attentive. I felt like I was at home with family.
Champions World Resort was exactly what we were looking for. A brief relaxing weekend near Orlando Fl. The rooms were nice and clean, and the hotel staff was very responsive and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this resort.
We stay here every year. I like the hotel, its clean, the employees are very nice and the prices are great. I will continue to stay here!

We made a trip through Europe by car and stayed for two nights in this charming hotel. The hotel is as close as can be to the (as far as I know) only public parking on the island, so we did not have to drag luggage through the entire city center, a serious advantage considering that, at night, you can spot desperate travellers pulling their bags over the bridges, swearing and sweating. The hotel is a charme, located in an old monastery with a beautiful garden, a large bar in the old refectory (with an intact pulpit). Kids slept (4 & 7) with us in a large room with high ceilings, clean with good beds. The guys at the reception are friendly and funny. The breakfast was rich. The station of the grand canal "vaporetto" is very close by, as is in fact the entire city center. Overall, a greate place to stay, visiting Venice with our without small children (and certainly if you came by car).
I stayed at this hotel for 7 nights. If you like luxury, I wouldn't stay here but it was a great value for the price. The location is great and the staff are very helpful. It is only a block from train station and one of the main lines of the vaporetti so you can always catch a boat back home. It does get flooded but the hotel has boots for you to borrow. The breakfast was okay, it is a standard European continental breakfast. The lobby also has free wireless and you can borrow one of their laptops.
Great hotel, conveniently located near the train station, no need to struggle with luggage on the boats. Easy to get to anywhere else. Staff were great and very helpful in all respects. Room was great, plenty of space (although we did get an upgrade for our anniversary present) Breakfast in the garden a must. Note this is the only hotel I have ever stayed in (and that is a lot) where the mini bar prices seem to be more favourable than outside. (Odd but true) Would definitely stay here again.
Great location close to the station but still in a quiet backwater. Perfect for exploring Venice. Friendly and helpful staff - the free map was very welcome! Small but perfectly adequate room - no view but then I wasn't paying for one! Charming garden for breakfast. Air conditioning very welcome during sizzling August.
We stayed for four nights at the Hotel Abbazia and couldn't have been more impressed. The rooms were huge and very clean, breakfast was wonderful and the staff could not have been more helpful or pleasant. It was very convenient to the ACTV and the train station.
The hotel provides an excellent service for the site seeing traveller. It is in a great location right next to the station. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic but spacious and clean. We would certainly recomend this hotel!
We loved staying at Hotel Abbazia as it is good value for money, staff are very friendly & helpful, lovely breakfast and good location near the Grand Canal and St Lucia station. Good, reasonably priced food venues handy too.
Just returned from a second stay in the Abbazia. Hotel staff very friendly. Could not fault anything. Great location and yet so quiet (well apart from the church bell!). Just lovely!

Okay after all the rave reviews of other guests I was expecting amazing. Guaranteed we had the crapiest weather over the NYE period, but we had paid for a package deal and half of what we paid for we never saw, they took some money off the final bill but even still what was outlined in our package was not included. The staff were aloof; one gentleman behind the counter was very approachable however the rest were rather aloof. The room was probably the smallest we had stayed in ad had a slanting roof which proved extremely difficult to move around as you were continually hunched over. The staff were not overly interested in what you did and in informing you of anything to do or see, which was quite disappointing after the fantastic experiences we had had in Rome and Florence. Maybe this is the service you receive when you go to Flashy hotels and if this is the case then I am happily never going to a fancy hotel again - midrange hotels for me (better value for money)
My wife and I returned to this superbly placed hotel for a wonderful four day break. (100 metres from St Marco). Right from the start, whilst making my reservation by phone, Jacopo made me feel welcome, and this wonderful service contiued throughout our stay. The resturant for breakfast is right on the lagoon and to sit outside in the sunshine and start your day with a plentiful multi choice breakfast is a pure joy. This lovely Hotel helped make our trip to this very special city all the more enjoyable. Our room was not large but perfectly equipped. A Lagoon view would have made it even better (maybe next time) I am sure there will be a next time, and definately at Savoia and Jolanda.
We stayed here for three nights in January 2004 as part of our honeymoon and we loved it. We did request a balcony room as recommended on trip advisor. It was beautiful a perfect view of the grand canal. It s location was perfect three doors away from the bridge of Sighs and 200 m from St. Marks Square. The room was plush , exposed beams, tastefully decorated but a bit disappointed that there was no bath in the bathroom. and room (or suite as it was called) was small by suite standards.1 room.(Bed with a couch and table) I would highly recommend it if you wanted to splash out for a special occassion it is a bit pricey.
In the middle of everthing. St. Marks, Museums, anf fine restarants. I really believe I could spend the rest of my life in this most beautiful city. The hotel and staff are magnificent. We have stayed there on two separate trips now and look forward to the third soon. My wife just loves to get lost waling the canals and alleways. Wonderful breakfast at the hotel as well. Steps away fro the San Zaccaria vaparetto stop.
The hotel is very conveniently located from the San Marco stop and faces the Grand Canal. The staff were not necessarily friendly, but they were not rude either. They were helpful in giving us information and directions as well as storing our luggage after checkout so we could explore a bit before our scheduled time of departure. We were pleasantly surprised when we returned after dinner to find turn down service and chocolates on our pillows :-)
what a beautiful place looking out onto the St giorgio magiore church island. The rooms with views are quite expensive.but venice is a precious place with very little space. the restaurant is good (especially the free breakfast).but explore the many small trattorias, restaurants, and pannini bars.for much better though. the best value compared to cipriani, hilton danelli etc.would highly recommend
Definately the best bed i've slept during our vacation, rooms immaculates, wide choice at the restaurant for breakfast(homemade cakes!). More then central position facing the san marco basin.5 stars!
The location was great and the employees were very helpful.My ronn did not have a great view but it was very beautifuly decorated.I was on the second floor facing an alley.

My wife and I returned to this superbly placed hotel for a wonderful four day break. (100 metres from St Marco). Right from the start, whilst making my reservation by phone, Jacopo made me feel welcome, and this wonderful service contiued throughout our stay. The resturant for breakfast is right on the lagoon and to sit outside in the sunshine and start your day with a plentiful multi choice breakfast is a pure joy. This lovely Hotel helped make our trip to this very special city all the more enjoyable. Our room was not large but perfectly equipped. A Lagoon view would have made it even better (maybe next time) I am sure there will be a next time, and definately at Savoia and Jolanda.
We stayed here for three nights in January 2004 as part of our honeymoon and we loved it. We did request a balcony room as recommended on trip advisor. It was beautiful a perfect view of the grand canal. It s location was perfect three doors away from the bridge of Sighs and 200 m from St. Marks Square. The room was plush , exposed beams, tastefully decorated but a bit disappointed that there was no bath in the bathroom. and room (or suite as it was called) was small by suite standards.1 room.(Bed with a couch and table) I would highly recommend it if you wanted to splash out for a special occassion it is a bit pricey.
In the middle of everthing. St. Marks, Museums, anf fine restarants. I really believe I could spend the rest of my life in this most beautiful city. The hotel and staff are magnificent. We have stayed there on two separate trips now and look forward to the third soon. My wife just loves to get lost waling the canals and alleways. Wonderful breakfast at the hotel as well. Steps away fro the San Zaccaria vaparetto stop.
The hotel is very conveniently located from the San Marco stop and faces the Grand Canal. The staff were not necessarily friendly, but they were not rude either. They were helpful in giving us information and directions as well as storing our luggage after checkout so we could explore a bit before our scheduled time of departure. We were pleasantly surprised when we returned after dinner to find turn down service and chocolates on our pillows :-)
what a beautiful place looking out onto the St giorgio magiore church island. The rooms with views are quite expensive.but venice is a precious place with very little space. the restaurant is good (especially the free breakfast).but explore the many small trattorias, restaurants, and pannini bars.for much better though. the best value compared to cipriani, hilton danelli etc.would highly recommend
Definately the best bed i've slept during our vacation, rooms immaculates, wide choice at the restaurant for breakfast(homemade cakes!). More then central position facing the san marco basin.5 stars!
The location was great and the employees were very helpful.My ronn did not have a great view but it was very beautifuly decorated.I was on the second floor facing an alley.
Summary
This hotel is in a great location and the staff is very helpful.

We stepped off the train and walked past all the taxi drivers and touts and 3 minutes later we were in the reception of the Apollo Hotel. The receptionist was fluent in English and explained all the functions of the hotel in a clear and concise manner. We found breakfast to be a typical Continental style with bread , ham , eggs and jam . The coffee machine was excellent and we had plenty of time to sit and watch those around us eat and admire the views. The location was handy for the trams and the subway and we also walked to the Coloseum from the hotel and it was a pleasant 20 minute walk. For a 3 star hotel it was a pleasant experience and we will repeat again when next in Rome
Third time staying at this quaint family owned and operated hotel - and just as enjoyable a stay as previous visits! Located in centro storico Roma within view of the mighty Roman coloseum. There are plenty of little restaurants, coffee shops, and tiny grocery stores in the vicinity. A tasty buffet breakfast is served each morning in the rooftop terrace dining room - including custom made delicious cappucini! :) Many, many thanks to the delightful family and staff of Hotel Apollo. We appreciate all your kind care & thoughtfulness. We look forward to our next trip to Rome and again staying at your hotel!
Stayed here for five nights back in October last year. Hotel is in a great location allowing you to walk to all the main attractions and explore, rather than having to rely on public transport. Breakfast of pastries, fruit and cereals etc being served on the roof terrace is a great way to start the day and there are plenty of restaurants near by. Really good friendly staff, very clean and tidy. Can't rate the Apollo enough, will definitely stay again.
I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights at the end of May 2010. The hotel is at a very central location, within 10 minutes walk to Colosseum. But the room is very small. The shower place is tiny. I am a tiny person. But I could hardly turn myself when I am in the shower place. The bed is small and there are holes in the bed sheet. The breakfast is reasonable, but not exciting.
We selected this hotel because of the location. It was great. We did not stayed at the hotel itself but in an apartment some corners away. It was big, clean and had all that we were looking for. Lots of restaurants, a metro stop in front (Cavour) and the colisseum just some minutes away. When going back to Rome for sure we will stay again in this hotel.
We stayed at the Apollo in the end of July. What can I say?! Excellent hotel, friendly and helpful stuff, really good breakfast especially cakes and cappucino in a big cup. 7 minutes walk to Colloseum and 15 to Trevi Fountain. Nicely decorated spacious room with big bathroom. When I'm in Rome next time I would definetely stay in this Hotel!
Good location and bedrooms where a very nice size. Breakfast on the roof was a good variety and tasty food. The only bad thing I can say is that the geaser broke and we were without cold water on our 3rd day, but that could happen to anybody. Always somebody available at reception to help.
Great location.walking distance from Coloseum. The small pizza place next door.is a must place to take out.Night staff did not speak English.but day staff did. They arranged a cab for us.who was there ahead of time.Breakfast was heavenly.
Summary
The hotel is ideally located and good for local public transportation. The staff at the hotel were very helpful too.

This place can be summed up in one word . flawless ! Located across the street from the most beautiful beach in Key West - Smathers Beach and literally 1.7 miles from Duval street it is prefect! The service was fantastic, the grounds are very well kept, with a cool pool. and the piece de Resistance . the room - comfortable, huge, it is literally the size of a small apartment, with a small kitchenette, a dining table a huge couch and and super comfortable bed, oh yeah and the bathroom is also pretty darn big. We had a magical weekend staying here and every went on without a hitch, good laid back service at a very reasonable price. This is the place to stay in Key West. Since we brought our bikes, we did not have to move our car at all in the 3 days we were there, Duval street is just a short ride from the hotel. don't own a bike? Or don't feel like shipping them down with you ? No problem, the hotel has plenty of bikes for rent as well.
The hotel has a great location, across from the beach and away from Duval street, but a free shuttle every hour into town and airport. Rooms are all suites large and comfortable with microwave and wet bars, living room areas , well designed space with pocket doors to close off the bedroom for privacy. Comfortable beds and nice vanity area, lots of storage space. We were a large group and treated very well. The restaurant staff was particularly accomodating. As people in our group trickled into the restaurant , we kept adding to tables, asked for separate checks etc and it was never a problem. Many of us asked for a late checkout last minute and they accomodated as many as possible. Pool was heated and lovely, a hot tub in the corner. Restaurant closed at 9 and bar at 11pm, a little early for our crowd and Key West but that is my only complaint.
The hotel was decorated beautifully for X-mas and I loved the Palm trees with Christmas lights! The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rate was what is to be expected for Key West, right by the airport! The beach is across the street from the hotel with multiple activities for one to participate in. Since the hotel is out of the was a smidge, they offer shuttles, numerous shuttles to all the hot spots in Key West. The rooms were beautiful, and very clean, unless you looked directly behind the toilet, which could use a little extra scrubbing. I would stay here again, tomorrow!
The hotel is an all suite hotel so the rooms were very spacious and allowed us to kick back in our room mid afternoons and mornings. If you like a slower pace and a public beach across the street, this is a good place to stay. You will have to drive or take the shuttle to Duval Street area and the shuttle is only once an hour. Parking in the Duval Street area will cost from $10 to $35 per day.
I took my girlfriend here for a long weekend and to propose. The hotel was great, obviously, it wasn't a St Regis or even a Westin, but it was very nice, very functional and enjoyable. The food and services were VERY expensive. I thought they took care of us well even though we were staying on points for free.
This hotel has huge rooms and bathrooms and is in a great location across from the beach and close to the airport. Great food in the restaurant and staff is wonderful! I highly recommend to anyone needing some extra space and doesnt care about being downtown!
Large, modern, clean rooms across from one of the few beaches in Key West. While far from downtown, this hotel offers a lot of comfort, a nice little pool, and regular shuttle service. We would stay there again!
We went to enjoy Key West and our daughters were so excited and this motel was a complete disappointment! Dirty, unsafe, only thing really redone was the lobby! Elevators were very scary, our daughters would not even ride without us.

The staff at this hotel is very helpful.

We stayed at the Raffaello for three nights. The hotel is in a safe area and within walking distance to the Colosseum and the Termini. The rooms were very clean but the shower was incredibly small. If you are over 6 foot you probably won't fit. Personnel at the desk were very friendly and helpful with all our questions, directions, and requests for taxi service. Breakfast was excellent, the best we had during our 12 day travels throughout Italy, and included scrambled eggs daily. One day, however, a lady had her purse stolen while at the breakfast buffet. Someone must have come in from the outside, blended in with the crowd, and made off with the purse. If I return to Italy I would try to stay nearer the Campo de Fiori area for the night life and restaurants.
We stayed five nights in the Hotel Raffaello in June. It was an absolute pleasure from the time we were checked in by Angelo until our departure. We had been conned by a taxi driver out of 90 for a 10 fare and of course were upset upon arrival. But Angelo was fabulous and we stayed in the room with the balcony, which was a great size. We were there to get engaged and as I had mentioned that to Angelo, within ten minutes of getting into our room a bottle of champagne was delivered up to us. The staff are absolutely lovely and I will recommend this hotel to anyone I know travelling to Rome. We hated to leave. To all of the staff in Hotel Raffaello, thank you for your kindness.
We found the Raffaello hotel to meet all our needs. The room was very comfortable and even enjoyed the jacuzzi shower once we worked out how to use it! The location is excellent, 5 mins away from the Termini and the Colosseum and an easy walk to all other tourist locations. Especially enjoyed the breakfast which offered an assortment of pastries, cold meats, bread, scrambled eggs, fruit and cake. Yum Yum! Amazing cappuccino's!
Because of a mistake on my part, I had to cancel the day of our arrival at the last minute. After explaining my problem they took car of the change without charges. We cannot rave enough about the service from the front desk staff and the wonderful treatment by the two women in the breakfast room. The rooms were roomy and beyond clean. We think this is a hidden gem in Rome. Joe & Bev Wood Macungie PA
Excellent location if you want to consider somewhere close enough to the main train terminus to walk to/back, and near the main tube line as well as the historic sites. The room was very pleasant no noise, and breakfast was simple but substantive. The hotel is also near to the large supermarket which may be used to make lunch to help reduce costs on the long days walks ahead. Great centre overall to base your visit
Clean, comfortable room with good wi-fi connection. Staff was very friendly and helpful. As mentioned by other reviewers, close to the train station and colosseum, a bit distant to Campo de' Fiore, Piazza Navona, etc. Other comparable hotels were more expensive, so this was a very good value. Solid 3 star type of hotel.
A wonderful hotel, accessible to all historic attractions friendly family with very good SERVICE warm atmosphere. The staff were very helpful. Felt like home
Great location. Friendly. Good deal.

Since I found this place 5 years ago, whenever I go to Branson, this is where we choose. It's away from the Branson chaos, beautiful quiet location and we always choose the lakeview condos. We don't have a boat so the marina down at Indian Point it perfectly located if we get in the mood to rent something. We're opposite the Silver Dollar City traffic if we want to go into town during the day and we're less than a mile away if we want to go to the park. It may be a bit of a drive if someone is intensely interested in going downtown or on the Strip a lot but the roads are good and it's not that big a deal for me! We always stay in the 2-bedroom condos, it's such a relaxing, roomy place to stay, so much better for us than staying on the Strip.
We celebrated my husband's birthday with a trip to Branson and a stay at The Village. We enjoyed it very much. The view from the deck is our favorite. We have our meals on the deck and love to sit out and relax and listen to the sounds of nature, read and listen to our "tunes." Just one minor detail. We couldn't find the coffee. Everything else was there, handy and available, but no coffee. Hopefully next time it will be available.
This is our second time staying at the Village at Indian Point. We are already planning to stay again next year, and bring the rest of family too. The condo was very clean and staff very friendly. The only complaint that we were on the second level and the people above us were up all night long. We could hear their bed squeak when they got in and out of it. Other than that, everything was GREAT! See you next year! The Elder Family
We have adult children and we wanted to try out a condo for comfort and convenience. To our surprise, check in was easy even though we arrived late at night. The staff was helpful. The condo was clean and comfortable. The view was beautiful. I had some concerns about value for my money, but it was money well spent. We hope to return for another family weekend in the future.
My wife and I loved the rustic lodge look nestled amongst the trees. Our unit was tastefully decorated and well maintained. Our unit faced the lake and we enjoyed having coffee on the large covered patio. This place is much better than staying in a hotel. We will definitely return.
Village at Indian Point is awesome! Great location on the lake, wonderful staff and nice, clean condos. The nature trails, pools, game room, hot tub and private dock sweeten the deal. We love this place and will keep coming back!
We held a family reunion at The Village At Indian Point. The accommodations were very comfortable with beautiful views. We had a great time. I would enjoy a trip back there.
Great location and beautiful area and scenery, Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere! Will definitely will be staying here again!

The condo was clean and comfortable. The view was beautiful. I had some concerns about value for my money, but it was money well spent. We hope to return for another family weekend in the future.
My wife and I loved the rustic lodge look nestled amongst the trees. Our unit was tastefully decorated and well maintained. Our unit faced the lake and we enjoyed having coffee on the large covered patio. This place is much better than staying in a hotel. We will definitely return.
Village at Indian Point is awesome! Great location on the lake, wonderful staff and nice, clean condos. The nature trails, pools, game room, hot tub and private dock sweeten the deal. We love this place and will keep coming back!
We held a family reunion at The Village At Indian Point. The accommodations were very comfortable with beautiful views. We had a great time. I would enjoy a trip back there.
Great location and beautiful area and scenery, Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere! Will definitely will be staying here again!
Summary
The rooms at this hotel are very comfortable.
