Motel One Brussels March 2019


I’ve stayed here a few times as its very good value for money, clean and modern

This modern chain hotel is located between the town centre and the European Institutions and just across from Parc de Bruxelles which is a perfect place for some morning circuits.

There are some nice restaurants hidden on the streets opposite the hotel (Rue de l’Enseignement and Rue de la Croix de Fer) although the best one or two sometimes needs to be booked in advance.

The queue for reception was long but the staff were very friendly. Breakfast is a fairly typical Brussels buffet but good value for money. It can however get very busy so its best to try and avoid peak times.

Value for money: 9
Location: 8 
Room: 7 
Would I stay again: Yes

Hilton Gatwick May 2019

I booked this room at the last minute due to a cancelled easyJet flight. The room cost around £100 on a Sunday night. It’s a nice but pretty big hotel and as such, the queue for the reception can be long. It’s a better than average Hilton. I had a drink in the bar which was relatively quiet but not cheap nor desperately exciting. There is a small gym. The big selling point of this hotel is that you can walk there from the terminal building. That said, it’s not a short walk and if I had have had a choice I’d go for the Premier Inn at other terminal as its normally cheaper and quality is consistent. The signage from the terminal isn’t great and it did take me a while to find it even though I have stayed there before. Value for money: 6 Location: 7 Room: 7  Would I stay again: Yes

International Hotel Wembley May 2019

Another London stay and another day at a Wembley hotel. Not only is Wembley relatively cheap when there are no big events on at the stadium or the arena, its also quite a short journey into Central London on the Jubilee line (although it gets very busy in the morning coming into London) The hotel looks shabby from outside and in. It is cluttered and feels very dated and in need of refurbishment. The room was OK and pretty large but the staff weren’t particularly welcoming at reception. Value for money: 7 Location: 6 Room: 5  Would I stay again: Only if other places were much cheaper

Premier Inn Frankfurt Messe May 2019

I’ve stayed here twice now, both on a Sunday evening. This time I paid under 50 Euros for the night (including breakfast). The hotel is a bit of a walk from the train station, and it’s not easy or particularly pleasant to do with suitcases. The hotel is near a shopping centre (skyline Plaza) and the Messe Frankfurt.   The area is not a very interesting area to potter around and it seems to cater predominantly to people visiting the Messe. There are a few of restaurants along the street but there wasn’t much else to keep me entertained in the local area. The room was great and really great value for money. Service brilliant and friendly as Premier Inn almost always is. Value for money: 10 Location: 6 Room: 10 Would I stay again: Yes
