Historical Traveler Reviews The Merrion Hotel Dublin
I stayed at the merrion from the 26th feb to the 29th feb, with my partner and another couple. I obtained the hotel at a special offer rate and i would not consider paying the full price that the hotel normally request, especially as there were no breakfast included in the price! Throughout our stay, we encountered a couple of minor problems, such as........
(1) We ordered coffee and toast one morning, while we were waiting for a taxi to take us on a bus tour, this was ordered in the drawing room, the coffee arrived quite promptly, however we still hadn't received our toast by the time the taxi had arrived even though the order was made over 20 minutes beforehand. Needless to say, the taxi driver had to wait while we quickly ate our breakfast and added the waiting time onto our taxi bill!
(2) Our final problem and quite an important one is, the overall bill that we received, having checked the printed out receipt from reception, i noticed quite a hefty bill for room service, knowing that we hadn't really used room service i was quite amazed to discover 85 euros had been added to our bill! It turned out to be a bill for a half bottle of champagne, vodka and redbull and i believe some peanuts!
Reception were quick to amend the bill and it was sorted out with no fuss. You really have to be careful with hotels that offer those sort of facilities, it makes me wonder how many people have been charged for items they may not have even had!
As a positive note, i will say that the staff at the merrion are exceptionally polite and friendly. I had a pleasant stay there and i would recommend the hotel to friends etc.
New Year Dinner,Poor food.
The Merrion is a wonderful hotel based upon four Regency townhouses skillfully combined into period elegance.The staff were great fun,always smiling and both attentive and efficient without being obtrusive.We paid for a deluxe room in the old part of the hotel which was spacious,tall ceilings and windows,regency decor,marble bathroom...my perfect hotel room,we all loved it.We stayed on a package over New Year's Eve which included,at a Euro 98 cover charge,a quote 'feast',see their website for full details.The feast prepared by chef Ed Cooney was quote'combines quality Irish ingredients with an additional festive twist'.My family and I are not fussy eaters but we all agreed that this was one of the most disappointing meals that we had ever eaten and in fact the cheese course was the only one I really enjoyed.We had eaten wonderfully elsewhere in Dublin including a memorable meal in the romantic Pearl Brasserie located next door to the Merrion.Within the Merrion is the award winning Restaurant Patrick Guilbard but hotel guests are advised that this restaurant is closed over Christmas and New Year.In fact this restaurant is not closed but appears to be utilised for private functions over festive periods,hotel guests are excluded and in this the hotel appear to be taking advantage offering only the Cellar Restaurant...the Cellar restaurant is really the breakfast room and lacks the ambience necessary for a gourmet dinner.I complained to the head waiter who was genuinely concerned that we had not enjoyed our meal and seemed surprised that the meal was described as a feast.Talking to the receptionist next morning she admitted that they had received other complaints about the dinner.My advice is NEVER,repeat NEVER! eat at this hotel unless the hotel guarantees that the meal will be served in the restaurant Patrick Guilbard.
Classy hotel with cute staff
The Merrion is located just away from the main action of Dublin but certainly within easy walking distance. From the outside it is discreet but stylish, very much the boutique townhouse hotel. We stayed in a garden room, which is in an annex behind the main house. The room itself was fairly sized with pretty standard 5* decor and fittings.
Room service was prompt and polite, as were all the staff. And the boys at the front desk were very cute! Because of a function in the Merrion, we went for afternoon tea at the nearby Shelbourne. An hour in their drawing room confirmed that we had chosen the right place to stay.
There is no comparison with other hotels in Dublin.
World class
After a lost AutoEurope reservation, a flat tire and a bum stay on our first night, we could not wait to get to the Merrion. We were not disappointed. The room was a junior suite in the Georgian building with fantastic linens, marble bathroom, high ceilings, gorgeous plaster work and superb room service. Do not miss a meal at Patrick Gilbaud. You will pay dearly, but leave satisfied. The bar is quite nice with the smell of burning peat giving you a sense of welcome.
Absolutely lovely weekend I spent here. Will return again anytime!! The staff, rooms, service are impeccable. And the concierge is very attentive to your needs. Will recommend this to anyone. You won't get a better hotel in Dublin City!!
Just OK
The hotel was nice but not 5* the service was just OK and concierge staff was minimum help.
Stay at 4 seasons if you want excellent service and large hotel and a Claridges if you want excellent service in a small hotel.
My wife and I recently spent 5 nights at the Merrion and I must say that rarely have I been as pleased to part with my money. The level of service and detail is truly spectacular. The staff is extremely friendly, professional, and attentive. We stayed in a room in the newer Garden Wing with a beautiful view of the gardens and pond which was usually occupied by several ducks. The room was huge and plush. While the bathroom contained floor to ceiling Italian marble as well as a separate bath and shower. There was nothing quite like the view of the gardens while drinking a pint of Guinness and listening to the Cranberries on the hotel supplied CD player. The hotel is only a stone's throw away from Merrion Square and St. Stephen's Green. I for one intend to stay at the Merrion on all future trips to Dublin.
Nearly perfect
Bedrooms and public areas are just great, and the works of art on display are museum quality. Service is generally fantastic, but there was a considerable delay in obtaining my car when I was checking out (valet parking). Apart from that minor hiccup, this is all you could want from Irish hospitality. Expensive but worth splashing out on.
Stayed here on a long weekend break and did not want to leave! Its wonderful! With excellent service and a very helpful concierge, helping to make the stay very memorable. What we like to remember is relaxing in the lounge,sitting in front of the log fire, being served a wonderful afternoon tea whilst the weather outside is less than favourable. It is just fabulous!!
A haven of luxury and peace
Imagine a large room overlooking a garden with fountains and (maybe) ducks, where you can open the window and still hear nothing of the bustling city around. Everything at the Merrion is fist class : rooms, furniture, service, breakfast,art display and history. And you are in the city centre. It's not cheap, of course, but it's not so expensive for the quality. I spent three days in june with my wife, on vacation, and we were delighted. If you go to Dublin, cancel your other reservation and book at the Merrion!

We had a leisurely breakfast and a brief walk around the city and departed for the Reykjavik airport. Loaded up and got underway to Dublin.

For years, airlines have provided complimentary seatback copies of the SkyMall catalog for passengers who don't know what to do with their used chewing gum. They also come in handy to remind you that there are millions of people eager to spend their hard-earned money on garbage. For the guys in the Kasper Hauser comedy troupe, the SkyMall catalog serves a third purpose: fodder for a howlingly funny parody.

Max Shatto, Adopted Russian Boy at Center of an International Dispute, Died of an Accidental "Self Injury," Autopsy Finds
On Friday afternoon, a bit more than a week after fairly high-ranking officials in the Russian government began lobbing allegations of unspeakable child abuse against a Texas couple, authorities have ruled the death of their adopted Russian son an accident.
The Ector County sheriff's and district attorney's offices held a press conference in Odessa today to discuss the findings of the autopsy performed on 3-year-old Max Shatto, who died on January 21.
The cause of death, according to the Ector County medical examiner, was "a laceration to the small bowel mesentery artery due to blunt trauma in the abdomen" that is "consistent with self injury." Bolstering that conclusion was a previously diagnosed behavioral condition that caused Max to hurt himself.
In other words, this was a tragedy. Not a crime.

In a press release, Ector County officials also note that no drugs were found in the boy's system. Russian authorities had asserted that Max's adoptive parents had fed him psychotropic drugs and that his ingestion of Risperdal, an anti-psychotic, may have contributed to his death.
Earlier in the day, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services released the results of its investigation into Fort Worth's Gladney Center for Adoption, which it found had done nothing wrong in placing Max with Laura and Alan Shatto.
The question now is what Russian officials, who used Max's death to support the recent decision to ban U.S. adoptions, will make of this. Will they accept the results of a monthlong investigation, or will they continue to paint the Shatto's as child-killing monsters? We'll know very soon.

The attached coiled cable is well constructed and the mini-plug snaps in firmly to the phone. Will update later on the durability of the charger.
Cons: none yet, will update on reliability and durability in a few weeks.

Firms will evaluate Affibodies targeting HER2 and PDGFR-beta to deliver thorium-227 to cancer cells.[© Sebastian Kaulitzki - Fotolia.com]
Algeta negotiated access to two of Affibody's antibody-like tumor-targeting molecules for use in combination with its thorium-227 anticancer platform. The two Affibody® molecules target HER2 on breast cancers and PDGFRβ, which is involved in solid tumor angiogenesis. The firms will work together to evaluate whether the Affibodies can effectively carry the thorium-227 payload and target cancer cells. Algeta will also have access to Affibody's Albumod™ platform for optimizing the two Affibody molecules in terms of half-life extension.
Under terms of the deal, Algeta will pay Affibody a signing fee and potential future milestones and will shoulder all preclinical, clinical, and commercialization activities for resulting candidates. The firm in addition retains an exclusive license for use of the Affibody molecules against the designated targets in its therapeutic field.
Affibody has created a library of over ten billion Affibody molecules based on a second-generation scaffold, from which binders to given targets are selected. The firm says that as well as potential applications in cancer therapy, Affibody molecules with specificity and selectivity for tumor markers can be used for the noninvasive early detection of tumors and to monitor disease by detecting tumor progression or regression in response to cancer therapy.
Affibody separately offers its complementary Albumod technology for outlicensing. The albumin-binding, protein-based platform is designed to enhance the efficacy of biopharmaceuticals by extending their circulatory half life. In October 2010, Amylin negotiated a license to use the technology with a number of its library compounds.

Frank Shamrocks effective return
I for one am impatiently awaiting Frank Shamrocks return to EliteXC contention. I honestly don't see anyone short of another "standup" fight with Cung Le standing in the way of his middleweight domination. Just wondering if anyone else sees this fighter making his way back to the top after the injury he sufferd.
im still trying to find the fight to see just how bad he got it handed to him. Anyone got a dl link?
I thought that fight showed that Frank's stand up is a pretty solid part of his MMA arsenal. And that if he uses it in an MMA fight and not a kicboxing match he has a shot against almost anyone at 185.
I just hope he comes back and kicks whoever's ass. And eventually beats Cung in a rematch.
bigdog - just surf limewire or the vid section for a download
i just went through a crap load of threads and im not finding a link but went to dailymotion..the qualitys crap but hey i can see it.
havent checked out limewire someone told me you had to pay for that thing
Frank Shamrock's usually an intelligent fighter, but he really should've tried like hell to get Cung down in their fight.
Still, Frankie's quite awesome.

U-Haul International Inc., the undisputed leader in do-it-yourself moving and storage, encourages communities across the country to become actively involved in preserving their past. U-Haul supports these efforts through the company's "Commemorative" SuperGraphics campaign.
U-Haul unveiled its first spectacular "Commemorative" SuperGraphics during the Veteran's Day parades in New York City and Phoenix, on Nov. 11, 2004. The graphics pay tribute to the U.S. armed forces.
"U-Haul has been imaging its moving trucks and trailers with vibrant graphics featuring distinctive icons of every U.S. state and Canadian province since 1988," explained John "J.T." Taylor, U-Haul executive vice president. "Many of our SuperGraphics give tribute to significant events, anniversaries and preserved historical sites."
U-Haul is proud to raise awareness of the richness of our nation's history by honoring our men and women in the armed services who have given so selflessly to protect our great country.

Anyone with similar software in place have questions they wished they would have asked their company before they signed the contract? Hindsight is 20/20..

Can gooey lasagna at a chain restaurant ever be as satisfying as Mark Vetri's ragoût of wild boar?
Having enjoyed both, I can answer affirmatively. You see, when the layered skyscraper can stop a Friday-tired 11-year-old from tormenting his brother, comparisons to fine dining become irrelevant. You thank your stars that chain-eating has progressed from the Denny's of your youth to the Carrabba's of your children's.
We ended up at the Maple Shade eatery after a fatigued cell-phone exchange familiar to most families: "Do you feel like cooking?" "No, do you?"

Aid, Dutch Disease and Manufacturing Growth

December 18, 2009
Center for Global Development Working Paper No. 196
We examine the effects of aid on the growth of manufacturing, using a methodology that exploits the variation within countries and across manufacturing sectors, and corrects for possible reverse causality. We find that aid inflows have systematic adverse effects on a country's competitiveness, as reflected in the lower relative growth rate of exportable industries. We provide some evidence suggesting that the channel for these effects is the real exchange rate appreciation caused by aid inflows. We conjecture that this may explain, in part, why it is hard to find robust evidence that foreign aid helps countries grow.

Q & A Library
Hot Water Hazards?A friend uses hot water from the tap for cooking and even for making tea. She says it is perfectly safe. I think she's wrong. Can you settle this argument?
Answer (Published 4/14/2008)
You win this one. You should never use hot water from the tap for drinking or cooking, and especially not for preparing baby formula. The main reason is that hot water is more likely to be contaminated by lead from pipes than cold water. Hot water can dissolve lead from corrosion in the pipes or from lead solder used in copper pipes more quickly than cold water. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) most of the lead in household water comes from residential plumbing, not from the local water supply.

The Weil Vitamin Advisor takes known interactions into account when developing recommendations, to help safeguard against adverse effects.

If your friend has children, she should know that lead poisoning is a serious child health issue. Lead in the body can cause mental retardation, and even low levels can slow a young child's development and cause learning and behavior problems. In order to reduce the amount of lead in your household water supply, be sure to flush your cold water pipes whenever a faucet hasn't been used for six hours or longer. The more time water has been sitting in the pipes, the more lead it may contain.
Even if your copper pipes were joined with lead-free solder, lead can leach from new brass faucets and fittings, according to the EPA. And lead is not the only concern here. Water sitting in hot water tanks is likely to contain other contaminants as well. And hot water dissolves more substances than cold. The EPA advises running the water until it becomes as cold as it will get before drinking it or using it in food. I recommend letting it run for three to five minutes.
I also advise having your water tested. Use an independent lab, not the free testing offered by companies selling water purifiers – it's not thorough enough. In addition to detecting the presence of lead, tests can reveal such contaminants as fecal coliform bacteria, fluoride, chlorine, arsenic, and nitrates, as well as parasites, other microorganisms, sulfates, herbicides, and pesticides. As far as lead is concerned, the EPA says that testing is especially important for residents of high-rise apartment buildings with lead-soldered central piping.

Castleton considers open container ordinance with teethBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | September 25,2013CASTLETON Walking in public with an open container of alcohol is about to get a lot more expensive once a proposed ordinance is put in place.
The Select Board overwhelmingly supported an open-container ordinance at its meeting Monday night. It will be brought back to the board at its next meeting for ratification, after which it will be advertised before it goes into effect probably in November.
Among the points debated Monday night was the severity of the fines. The board settled on $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second offense and $1,000 for a third offense.
The board and the residents in attendance wanted to ensure the ordinance would serve as a deterrent.
Selectman Wenger Rehlen expressed concern about the dollar amount.
One thousand dollars is a lot of cash, Rehlen said, to which several people pointed out that was exactly the point.
I say make it hurt, Selectwoman Cristine Smith said.
After some discussion, Rehlen floated the idea of making the fine top out at $500. But the room was in no mood for it and demanded the higher fine to serve as a deterrent.
Several questions about the ordinance were answered.
The open-container ordinance would apply to cans and bottles as well as plastic cups and other containers with alcoholic beverages. It would be in effect throughout the entire town of Castleton, not just the village.
It would only apply to public areas and have no effect on private property. Also, businesses that offer sidewalk dining or have an outdoor area would be OK because they would have a permit for that activity.
There would also be a provision to allow people to get a permit for parties or one-time activities.
It would not apply to the ice during the winter on Lake Bomoseen because that is controlled by the state, not the town.
Police Chief Bruce Sherwin said he supported the measure.
Its not that we want to go out and write these tickets, Sherwin said. But it should be an educational process.
Town Manager Charles Jacien said the ordinance has been in the works for three or four years since the town passed a noise ordinance.
We are one of the few municipalities in the county that does not have an open-container ordinance, Jacien said.
When asked if the ordinance was in response to action by Castleton State College students, the town manager said only, Its another tool at (law enforcements) disposal for curbing bad behavior.

The sales process was easy and I received exactly what I was looking for. Service staff is helpful. But I have two minor complaints that keep me form giving a 3 point review in the service category. first, I called to purchase some OEM accessories and the price that I was quoted for an over the counter purchase was considerably higher than what I could find online (same part number, OEM product, including shipping). Second, I was offered a free car wash and vehicle inspection just for being a new customer but when I went to take advantage of this, I ended up waiting for an hour and twenty minutes for my car to be returned to me making me late for work. I feel this was an unreasonable length of time to wait for my car to be sprayed down and my fluid levels checked. That said, when I did complain about this, I was offered a free oil change, which I feel is a fair compensation for my time.

Two boys were transported to the hospital for treatment Friday afternoon after getting caught in a rip tide on Folly Beach, authorities report.
According to Folly Beach Public Safety Sgt. Kevin Berkel, the boys, ages 10 and 16, were swimming in the water near the pier when they were swept out by a rip current shortly after noon.
The boys managed to hold on to the pier's pilings for support but they received multiple scratches from the barnacles that were attached to the wooden poles, Berkel said.
Two surfers rescued the boys and pulled them back to shore. One of the surfers was treated at the scene for minor cuts, Berkel said.
The boys were transported to Medical University Hospital for treatment of multiple lacerations, Berkel said.

'Help, Thanks, Wow' gets to the heart of the power of prayer
Anne Lamott, whose Christianity is permeated by the street-wise spirituality of the 12-step programs, has much in common with the publican in Luke's parable, whose simple prayer is "God, have mercy on me, a sinner."
Luke doesn't record how much of a sense of humor the publican had, but Lamott brings her hard-earned wit to this concise book about the ways that need, gratitude and awe drive prayer. »Read Full Article
Panfilio infuses 'Rita' with hopeful humor
In the opening scene of "Educating Rita," Willy Russell's bittersweet play about a 26-year-old hairdresser trying to start over and the alcoholic literature professor assigned to help her, Rita bounds into Frank's book-lined study for her first lesson.
Her attention is immediately drawn to an ostensibly chaste but erotically charged portrait on the wall, and within the blink of an eye she has offered a bawdy, original and wide-ranging interpretation of how that portrait works. Admitting he hasn't looked at it in years, the best Frank can manage is the bland assessment that it's "beautiful." »Read Full Article

Three persons were arrested on charges of possessing leopard skin. They were caught with the leopard skin while travelling in an autorickshaw at Kavundikkal in Attapadi on Thursday.
"The skin shows that the deceased leopard was around two-and-a-half years old. We also confiscated the autorickshaw, a single barrel country gun, two mobile phones and one search light from the arrested persons," said Agali Range forest officer M P Prabhakaran, who headed the the forest department team which arrested the three persons.He said that the skull of the leopard, which was buried on the compound of their house, was also recovered.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThon Hotel Opera Oslo
We had a great two night stay here in a standard double room, it was our favourite hotel during our stay in Norway. Our room was on the 8th floor with a city view. It was comfortable and spacious, tastefully decorated in modern decor. We had a comfortable queen size bed with good pillows, a desk area, huge tv and two separate arm chairs and small table. The bathroom had good shower over deep bath. Our room was very quiet and, combined with the comfortable bed, we slept very well.
The location was fantastic and suited our travel needs perfectly. Arriving by train, it was right next to the station and quick easy walk with large luggage. In the centre of the city so close to shops and eateries. Also easy walk to Aker Brygge to catch ferry to museums, sightseeing tour of fjord and the many eateries there. Leaving by plane, easy walk back to station to get flytoget train to airport.
The breakfast buffet included in room rate was very impressive, great selection of hot and cold dishes, including gluten free options, in fact one of most extensive we enjoyed throughout our Scandinavian holiday.
We also had drinks and food in the hotel's Eufemia Bar which serves great burgers and salads along with tasty smaller dishes.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Historical Traveler Reviews Thon Hotel Opera Oslo
One of the best
Quite simply one of the best hotels in Oslo. Modern and comfortable, excellent breakfast, nice staff, good location for reaching public transport.
Above the average
We stayed overnight at this hotel during our two-week trip in Norway. It's the best hotel out of the six Rainbow hotels we tried. The location is very convenient for travel (airport express just next door) sightseeing and shopping, but still very quite. The rooms are very small but well furnished. Breakfast is good, although a bit crowded during rush hours. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Great Hotel in Central Oslo
The Opera is a great hotel right next to the Central train station. The hotel is a fairly modern, high rise. There would have been great views over the fjord, from the restaurant floor (3rd) but they are currently building what looks to be a multi-storey car park between the hotel and the water.
The rooms are modern, clean and tidy. The bathroom was clean and in the fully tiled wet-room style. There wasn't a bath but the shower was good.
We only stayed for 1 night and it was mid-week but we didn't have any problems with noise, although we had a room facing into the middle of the building rather than to the street. It was hot in Oslo so we had the bedroom window open and you could just about hear the loudspeaker announcements in the train station, but nowhere near loud enough to keep us awake.
The breakfast was excellent with a huge selection of hot and cold dishes. From bacon and eggs to cold meats and cheese, breads, yoghurts, fruits, teas, coffee and fruit juice and many other items.
The thing that impressed me most, however, was how friendly the Norwegian hotel staff were. They all spoke excellent English (as my Norwegian is rubbish) and they were all genuinely eager to help.
Trips - I recommend getting the regular ferry from Pier 3 across to the Viking Ship and Folk museums. Both very good, in their own ways.
Excellent choice in Oslo
Great lobby, helpful smiling staff. convenient to and from the airport and to the main street of town, the Karl Johann's Gate. Rooms well equipped, smallish bathroom, good quality and aesthetic wood furnishings, breakfast free and copious though not particularly gourmet. excellent value!
Our room stunk of stale smoke and the bed was ridiculously soft - I'm not a fussy sleeper but this was like sleeping on a sofa. Very plush though and very central and quiet. From looking at other people's experiences it looks like we were unlucky...
Amazing place!
I can't add much to the previous reviews, other than to echo what a gem this hotel is! I had low expectations given the price I was able to get and the fact that it was so near the central train station, but found it to be a fabulous location and an exquisite little hotel. Lovely beds, beautiful bathrooms, charming staff and an amazing breakfast buffet - my family couldn't have been happier!
Excellent clean hotel and fantastic location
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone! Fantastic location right by central station and bottom of Karl Johann St.
It is only 20 mins to the station from Oslo airport -quicker than the coaches. I was put off booking this hotel prior to leaving home as I thought the station area may not be very nice - how wrong I was!! Central station itself is a lovely building keeping with the rest of Oslo and is so spacious and clean inside with many shops and cafes. The area around the station/hotel is also lovely - the station being on a main square surrounded by shops and cafes.
The hotel was fantastic value for Oslo (we stayed in asister hotel, Europa a few days earlier for the same price but it was not a patch on this one) The Opera is new and modern and so very clean! The double rooms are a good size and the bathrooms are gorgeous- so spacious and clean with white tiles floor to ceiling , large bath and shower, lovely fluffy towels and floor to ceiling mirror! (yes I am a woman!) The continental breakfast includes a fantastic selection from fruits and cereals to eggs and cocktail sausages. I had checked the cheapest price for this hotel on the internet -105 euro - and we got the same price when booking directly with the hotel. For cleanliness, gorgeous bathrooms, fantastic location and excellent value for money I would recommend this hotel to anyone!
Great place to stay in Oslo
Stayed at this very convenient located Hotel in June for 2 nights and was surprised about how lovely this place was. It is adjacent to the train station in Oslo and very convenient to walk to the platforms if you have to take the train. Karl Johans Gate, the main shopping street just starts outside the trainstation, so it is a short stoll if you stay in this hotel. Although I was travelling alone, they gave me a double room for single use, which I found spacious enough if you know European standards. It was also lovely to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The bathroom was also very spacious and on my last night I had a view of the harbour which was nice (in the moment there are big constructions going on at the harbour). Breakfast and buffet dinner was quite nice too, although it could not top the buffet I had in Flam. In the peak season it seems to be a bit crowded in this hotel especially in the morning for breakfast with all the tour groups and different travellers, so they open up 2 buffets. The lobby area is very huge and fantastic as well. I had to store some goodies before I left for the Fjord trip and had no problems getting back my stuff when I returned to the Hotel one week later.
I would highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again!
Great value for money hotel in Oslo
Family of five arrived late afternoon in Oslo after 14 days camping throughout Norway to spend the night before we took the ferry back to Copenhagen.
We found the Hotel Opera right next door to the Railway station (Oslo s) and at the foot of the pedestrian shopping street karl johannes gate.
The hotel is a 4 star and is defined as a business hotel due to it's location mainly.
The 2 doubles we got were roomy and comfortable and we easily added a third bed in our room for the little one.
The bathrooms are large with both shower and bath.
The breakfast buffet is superb.
We paid 300 Euro for a double and a triple.
Tip - arriving or phoning at around 17-18:00 without a reservation u can usually get a discount on their normal prices if they are not full.Not reccomended for June-August but the rest of the year can be pretty safe.
Beautiful hotel!
I stayed at this hotel for a weekend at the end of January (2003). It is very centrally located, right next to the main Oslo train station. The Hotel building is very large, perhaps about 10 stories tall, is spectacular, with equally spectacular views of downtown Oslo and the surrounding hills and Oslo Fiord. This hotel looks very new, and was very clean, both my tiny room, and the entire hotel. Very pretty and spacious lobby, the front desk staff were young, and pretty friendly and helpful. As mentioned, my room was tiny, that was one of the few minuses at this hotel, it was very modern and clean, just tiny! This is a neat hotel to walk around in, and I can imagine that some of the costlier suites and rooms are quite luxurious! With great views! The other biggest minus, is that they do not have "room service". And, the very nice store inside the Hotel (in the lobby), was never open when I walked by it. Nice bar, never went in, just looked inside. Never used the restaurant either, but it looked very nice and modern. An interesting phonomenon here---the door of the room I stayed in opened OUT!! (saw a lot of that on this trip to Europe!). Also, whenever I opened the door of my tiny room to go out, the lights automatically came on in the beautiful, always empty and quiet hallway! How interesting! All fixtures in my tiny room and tiny bathroom were new and modern, just such a tiny room and bathroom!! In Europe, when they say a "single" room, they mean it! The rate was reasonable, I can't remember what it was, but it was not cheap at all. The other guests I saw were not friendly at all. Too bad, this could have been a wonderful weekend stay. One final thing---next to the end of the long, fancy front desk, was a large container filled with a zillion apples (mostly green ones)(free to guests). I saw this at one other hotel on this trip to Europe, don't think I had ever seen it before anywhere, what a nice idea! I wou need to get a BIGGER room!! My thanks to Connie, one of the managers there, for her assistance!!

CLOVIS, N.M. - City commissioners on Thursday night unanimously approved the introduction of an ordinance that would allow them to ask Clovis voters for a one-eighth cent gross-receipts tax increase to fund economic development.
However, the Clovis City Commission will not make the final decision about when to put the tax increase issue on the ballot until next month, City Manager Rodger Bennett said.
The tax increase "can only be decided by a vote of the people," Bennett said.
While there was little discussion about the issue Thursday, Bennett said city commissioners expressed a lot of interest in the measure.
The city manager said the March 7 municipal election would be the most feasible time to put the tax issue on the ballot because the Curry County Clerk's election calendar already will be heavy next year with a major national primary and general election.
City commissioners will conduct a special meeting at 9:30 p.m. Dec. 14 to determine what will be included in the election resolution for the March 7 municipal election, Bennett said.
If the tax increase is placed on the March ballot and Clovis voters approve the measure, the new tax would go into effect July 1 at the beginning of the city's next fiscal year, Bennett said.
Mayor David Lansford said an increase of one-eighth cent in the gross-receipts tax would mean that people making purchases in the city of Clovis would pay an additional 121/2 cents on every $100 they spend.
A one-eighth cent gross-receipts tax would allow the city to receive an estimated $525,000 annually in additional revenue, based on recent tax receipts, Bennett said.
Enacting a tax for economic development purposes is a new opportunity for New Mexico local governments, which are subject to strict anti-donation laws regarding the allocation of public funding.
However, the 1998 New Mexico Legislature passed a bill that allows local governments in the state to ask voters for a one-eighth cent gross-receipts tax increase to fund economic development under certain guidelines, officials said.
Last summer, Tucumcari voters took the lead and became the first in New Mexico to approve the one-eighth cent gross-receipts tax hike for economic development purposes. The new tax in Tucumcari will take effect Jan. 1.
On Wednesday, Bennett said some city leaders indicated interest in using part of the proceeds of an economic development tax to help fund the proposed $150 million eastern New Mexico rural water pipeline project that would transport water from Ute Lake Reservoir south to cities such as Clovis.
When the tax issue arose during Thursday's Clovis City Commission meeting, Bennett said he will recommend that the tax revenue, if approved, should be used for infrastructure needs for the city and to promote new jobs.
The ordinance itself does not earmark the funds for any specific use but instead states that the tax would be used for "furthering or implementing economic development plans and projects as defined in the Local Economic Act and in accordance with law."

Historical Traveler Reviews Travelodge Manchester Ancoats
Excellent in every way!
We were originally booked to stay at the Hotel Uhland for 3 nights - but I was getting worried about making it to the airport in time for our very early flight on June 4th - so I ended up switching two of those nights to the Munich aiport Kempinski. I am so glad I did!
The Kempinski is about a 35 minute train ride from the main train station in Munich - so it wasn't hard to get to where we wanted to. We'd stayed at several hotels in Europe prior to arriving, and had not gotten service like this anywhere. We arrived early - the room wasn't ready, but the guy checking us in called to see when it might be (and mentioned about us being the honeymoon couple), and made sure our bags were checked and would be in our room when we came back. The service was OUTSTANDING. The hotel is beautiful, and there is a supermarket, Burger King, a few restaurants and nice shopping just right inside the airport (only a few minutes from our room). The train was only maybe 5 minutes away to get into town. The location was fabulous.
What we didn't expect was an upgrade. Perhaps the hotel wasn't too busy for those nights. I had mentioned that we'd be on our honeymoon - I was hoping that would help get our king bed request. The hotel even called me after I'd faxed that information to them - which I didn't expect (especially since I couldn't get an email response from the Holiday Inn Kensington forum in London with a few questions about the hotel ahead of time).
When we'd got back from being out on the day of check-in, we received our room key - and our room was all the way down the hall - they'd given us a suite! I don't know what the normal rooms are like, but I am sure they are lovely. The suite had a sitting room with tv, a bedroom, and a HUGE bathroom (with both a tub and shower, separate). Actually, the tub also had a hand-held shower. We had bathrobes and slippers, and the room was clean and wonderful. If you can splurge, I highly recommend it! I just wish we had even more time in the room. I'd really wanted to go to the pool area - I did look, but I ran out of time while trying to get last-minute shopping done. Bring your swimsuit, though!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this hotel. I HIGHLY recommend it if you are looking for great service, a convenient location if you are flying out of Munich, and some relaxation.
Americans- wonderful hotel for a vacation to Bavaria!!!
I have been to several places throughout and world and have found that staying near the airport is convienent if you do not speak the native language. Speaking moderate German I decided to do stay at the Kempinski after reading reviews.
After stepping off the plane I easily walked directly to the hotel via walkways. The atrium is completely made of glass and is several floors high. Light floods the lobby creating a warm ambiance. The hotel associates do speak broken English, but studying a few phrases before you go would be a good idea. I would suggest requesting a room facing the garden (west side). In the evening time you can watch the sun set and watch incoming planes land (something fun to do if you have children).
Staying at this hotel makes it wonderful for renting cars for the day. Normally most people rent the same car for several days- staying at the airport you have 4 different car rental companies which rent cars from the tiny Euro cars to luxurious, fast expensive whips.
I would suggest the hotel's restuarant on seafood night. They have a buffet (formal-dress up a little) which includes whole lobsters. I had three! : )
The airport has the subway.train which runs into the city of Munich. Great way to get around town without renting a car.
If you are going to southern Germany I would suggest staying here, taking the train into Munich daily and renting a car and driving the Autobahn to Austria and castles that dot the Bavarian landscape!
Beautiful, convenient, and down comforters to boot
Really the best thing is all rooms come with a down comforter instead of the normal hospital style sheets. Otherwise the rooms are big clean and modern, unlike most hotels they actually look like the pictures provided on the hotel website.
For convenience its at Munich Airport but you don't get bothered noise of the planes.
The lobby is amazing, entirely glass structure, with a 60ft high glass display cases full of red flowers, extremely modern.
Free internet via Ethernet connection in the Cafe but pay in your room or pay for wireless. odd...better beer in the cafe too.
Excellent stopover hotel
Very modern. Clean and comfortable.
Large bedroom overlooking the airport and a huge very well appointed and equipped bathroom.
A very good and large buffet breakfast for 25 Euros per person.
Walking distance of the two airport terminals and S-Bahn station to Munich.
Very nice staff.
Very convenient to the airport!
Recently stayed at the Kempinski Munich Airport and the great proximity to the airport makes it well worth the premium price you pay to stay there. Lovely rooms & great service. Popular place - would advise booking as far in advance as possible & if full request to be put on the waiting list. That is the only way we got in.
Excellent stay. I'll stay there again.
i booked this hotel after i had read the reviews on this website. i got a very inexpensive internet rate for 99 euro, normally the price is much higher. anyway, this is an excellent first class hotel and it is worth every penny you pay. it is just 50 meters away from the airport terminals and the shops. you can reach the city center within 45 minutes. the tram station is very close to the hotel, too. the building is very modern, lots of glass and steel and fits perfectly into the whole airport complex. the lobby is huge, has a bar which is surrounded by palms. the rooms are large and nicely furnished. you don?t feel disturb by the airport, you won?t hear any noise. the wellness area is excellent, too. there?s a pool, poolbar and jacuzzi. the sauna is a bit "basic" from what you would expect from this hotel. you can also have massage, if you want to. staff and roomservice were extraordinary nice. i ordered dinner to my room one evening and it came within ten minutes and was excellent. the breakfast had food for europeen and american taste: fish, champagne and lots of fresh fruits were my personal highlights. watch out for special evening buffets (italian, american and fish). all in all, i highly recommend this hotel and i will certainly stay there again.
Best hotel I've visited
This is one of the best hotels I've visited.....it has all the amenities one could want in a hotel: big rooms, big bathroom with shower and bath, good water pressure, in-room safe and mini bar. The facility is spotless and exquisitely decorated in post-modern style. The beds are comfortable and warm, and everything seems to have been designed with the visitor's comfort in mind. It's a perfect start or end to a stay in Munich.
Great Location
I only had 1 night to stay, arrived late evening, great location to get in to town for a dinner, Rooms are great and service was super, It was the beginning of my trip around Germany and the staff made it easy. I will stay again there
Best Airport Hotel ever!
I have stayed at this hotel 5 times, and I loved it every time! It is the best Airport hotel I have ever been in. The rooms are very nice and clean. The bathrooms are great. Huge bathtub! The service is above standard for Germany, or Europe in General, and the rates are not too outragious, considering the type of hotel it is. Besides, since Munich is 1 hour from the airport, it is very convenient if you have an early flight. Highly recommend this hotel!
Too Good To Be An Airport Hotel
Excellent property, just steps from the airport proper, with its shopping (including a terrific deli/convenience store. Gorgeous architecture, very nice and comfortable rooms. Top-flight bar, and very responsive staff. Beautifully set up to get you comfortably out on that morning flight.
