Traveller from RHYL stayed in January,2007

Guest Comment:
HOTEL WAS LOVELY AND CLEAN AND CENTRAL ON THE HIGH ST. THE ONLY ISSUE WE HAD WAS THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET A COFFEE WITH BREAKFAST, THOUGH WE TOOK TRAVEL KETTLE THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY OF GETTING A HOT DRINK IN THE HOTEL. THERE WAS BUILDING WORK BEING DONE AT THE HOTEL NEXT DOOR, THIS STARTED AT 8AM AND FINISHED AROUND 4PM, THIS DID NOT BOTHER US AS WE WERE OUT SEEING THE SIGHTS. THE BUILDING WORK WAS NOT TOO LOUD! STAFF ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH AND WERE ONLY TOO HAPPY TO GIVE YOU ADVISE/DIRECTIONS. YOU WERE ONLY 5 MIN WALK FROM FOUNTAIN AND SPANISH STEPS, WE TOOK A WALK TO ST PETERS AND THAT WAS APPROX 40MINS, THOUGH BUSES RUN EVERY 5 MINS, WE FOUND THIS HOTEL REALLY CENTRAL. BREAKFAST WAS COLD BUFFET BUT THERE WAS PLENTY, ROLLS,JAMS, MEATS, CHEESES, CEREALS, CAKES AND COFFEE. WHEN WE WENT FOR BREAKFAST WE TOOK A FEW BITS FOR LUNCH. WE WOULD GO BACK THERE AGAIN THE LOCATION WAS IDEAL.

Top Tip:
TAKE A TRAVEL KETTLE!! WHEN WE GOT OFF THE PLANE WE JUST GOT IN TO A TAXI AT THE AIRPORT AND WE GOT RIPPED OFF AS HE CHARGED US 70 EURO. THE HOTEL BOOKED US A TAXI TO GO BACK TO THE AIRPORT AND THIS COST 50 EURO. SO IF YOU ARE USING A TAXI CONTACT THE HOTEL BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL AND ARRANGE FOR A CAR TO PICK YOU UP. REMEMBER THAT THE SISTINE CHAPEL CLOSES AT 12PM ON CERTAIN DAYS OF THE WEEK AND DOES NOT OPEN FOR THE REST OF THE DAY! CHECK BEFORE YOU GO!! AND IT IS WELL WORTH GOING! ALL THE SIGHTS IN ROME ARE AMAZING. WE FOUND SOFT DRINKS TO BE EXPENSIVE. DONT FORGET YOU CAN NOT BRING BACK DUTYFREE AT THE AIRPORT.
