Check out a hotel room: 2012

The White Hart Hotel - Room 206

The White Hart Hotel is located in the village of Hampton Wick (22 km from Oxford St.) and just a short walk from the train station and shopping area. The hotel has 37 bedrooms in different standards, but all with this "old look" (positively meant).

Mine was a double bedroom on the 1st floor and overlooking the parking space. Plenty of room though you had been 2 persons.

The White Hart Hotel room 206

This was available in the room: coffee/tea facilities ("hidden" in the cupboard under the television), iron board/trouser press and hair dryer.

The bathroom was with a tub/shower and toilet necessities as shampoo/soap.

There's a nice and relaxed atmosphere at the hotel and staff very helpful.

The wireless internet is free of charge - which isn't the case still in many other hotels in Europe.

Motel One Vienna - Room 5147

Motel One is situated next to Westbahnhof, but also with other options for public transport nearby. There's different shopping options in the train station and a reasonable priced Italian restaurant opposite the hotel. In walking distance you find the longest shopping street and within 15 mins walk you're a in the city center.

The room was on the 5th floor and faced towards a courtyard, very quiet and nice interior decoration.

The bathroom with shower, shampoo/soap and a hairdyer.

art'otel Köln - Room 542

art'otel is appr. 5 mins in taxi from the trade exhibition area and if you prefer to walk, it takes appr. 15-20 mins. If you have some time left over the chocolate museum is next door.

The interior decoration was interesting compared with other hotels as you can see in the next pictures.

The washbasin was in the room...

In immediate contunation of the "bathroom" is the desk...

A choice of different toiletries available.

And choice of coffee/the available, indeed a nice way to start the mornng.

Toilet and shower was in a separate room though.

The room was facing the road but the traffic noise was not any problem. If you stay on a lower floor I would choose a room facing the water.

The internet access was free of charge for the guests.

Linder Airport Hotel Düsseldorf - Room 239

Lindner airport is close Düsseldorf airport and shuttle service is offered by the hotel. There's a supermarket close to hotel and different food options if you don't want to eat the hotel restaurant.

The room is on the 2nd floor and is quiet spacious. Offered by the hotel is a bathrobe and a pair of slippers. Depending on your mood you can choose different kind of seating.

Plenty of hangers and storage to your belongings.

The bathroom has bathtub and shower (in one). As you might can see on the picture, there're soap/shampoo, kleenex and a hair dryer available.

Plenty of towels :)

A tub and heated towl rail and Lux soap dispensers in the tub and at the wash basin.

Park Inn (Solna) - Room 1031

Please read my previous review of Park Inn - stayed there in May 2012. The room had the same design as last time, except the beds were reversed.

The view from this room was a little bit nicer overlooking green areas...

and with a nice sun set...

Tulip Inn - Room 323

The interior decoration in the room was exactly the same as the one I stayed in before - see entry. The only difference was that this room was on the 3rd floor and the view from the room was over a corn field and the parking lot. More quiet on this side as there're no roads just outside the window.

Wireless internet, the first 60 mins are free of charge, then you have to pay depending on the period you want to be connected.
