Excellent room size and very clean if a little minimalist in facilities. Because of the weather we could not walk to a restaurant in town so opted for the TV meal which was good value at 13 euros including wine. It was a bit further from the town centre than I expected but just about walkable. A few facilities in the room eg coffee maker would help.
Manager and facilities were excellent. Quiet. Ease of visit to town centre and shopping.Breakfast offered lots of choice and was excellent quality. Nothing to dislike.Maybe in future building at rear may raise cause for concern.
Frienliness of the staff and the cleanliness Nothing
Excellent welcome & services ! Excellent deal ... ! Brand new accomodation ... lovely breakfast & car parking lot ... Au revoir et à bientôt ! Merci bien ...
Cleanliness, quiet excellent breakfast large bed Not a complaint but an evening meal at the hotel aftre travelling would have been good
the staff was very helpful. We arrived at 10PM and could still have something to eat. Very nice! -
Proximity to motorway
Meals were very good Nothing
Easy of finding, excellent and helpful staff, good place to stop on a long journey when travelling further, restaurant was reasonable/good, all parts of the hotel were spotlessly clean, there is a large car park at the hotel, a local town is 5-10 minutes walk away where there are some good bars and restaurants if you want to use/visit them
It was away from traffic sounds, very comfortable, and the restaurant had a wonderful buffet after a long day of sight seeing We would have enjoyed having a room with 2 double beds as we were traveling as a family
Friendly helpful and cheerful staff. Free WiFi Hotel corridor doors were very noisy and needed oiling.
convenient just off motorway basic
Easy to find, good buffet supper and breakfast Nothing
Restaurant and value for money
Very close to motorway and yet quiet. The heating had not been switched on in the room so it was cold when I arrived and took a while to get warmer.
Clean and cheap for a single traveller. Very convenient location at the intersection of the A13 and A28. Ideal stop-over when travelling from the Channel Tunnel to the South-West of France. Nothing
The setting is tranquil and the village is very picturesque.The hotel is rather expensive: it has no restaurant, a very limited bar facility, no safe parking. The room we were shown into on arrival had not been serviced. The young assistant was confused. We were upgraded. I am not sure how easily the situation would have been resolved had I not been fluent in french.
It was the best and available hotel Car parking is not convenient, maintenance glitches in the room, light bulb, bath tub not emptying, shower hanging loose, can't fix its position. At time of making reservation it is not clear that the rooms are in various houses on the premises. No restaurant.
The overall experience is outstanding
luxurious room and nice surroundings
Peaceful and in the real french countryside.
Extreme courtesy of all the staff. Willingness of staff to accommodate changes to arrangements. Location in very pleasant countryside.
The ambience was peaceful, rural, luxurious. We were to have stayed in the room called "Paris" but the aircon did not work, so we were upgraded to "New York." We did not ask for this, the concierge insisted. Both rooms were lovely, "New York" was especially luxurious.We enjoyed the terrace with its loungers and the jacuzzi and the decor. Although evening meal was not on offer, it was only a short and pleasant walk to a good restaurant, booked for us by the hotel.When paying the bill, we realised that it was a good idea to take a print-out of one's booking.We had a bargain! I was unjustifiably concerned that as the car park was not visible from the hotel, it was vulnerable. But the village of Jumieges is not like that, I am sure!
Friendly staff, lovely village, fantastic restaurant only 200 meters away. Quiet place for a getaway. brand new furnishing.
I loved the room they all have a theme. The hotel is very pretty. Staff is friendly. Pity there is now restaurant. The breakfast is ok but expensive. If you ad the breakfast for two people and the room price it is a little over the top.
The tranquility, the swimming pool, There was a dog in the neighbouring garden which barked all afternoon when we first arrived. The breakfast was rather expensive
Astonishing old manor house in a beautiful garden. Charming room, comfortable bed, absolutely silent - we really slept well here. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a little bit too expensive as there was nothing special about it.
perfect ambiance, perfect service and perfect food
The care and attention given by all the staff was exceptionally good. We were supposed to be staying in an attic room but as soon as we walked in ,Madame noticed that my husband is tall so she upgraded us. We stayed for 4 nights and slept in 3 different rooms and the staff moved all our belongings and clothes for us, so it was no trouble to us. All rooms lovely. The food was also really good
Though it is a lovely hotel and the staff were very helpful, our stay was spoilt by the fact that a film shoot that was being done there had overrun. This meant we could not check in on time and parking was very awkward. The clean up from the shoot was still underway when we had breakfast the next morning and then left.We had not received any notice of this situation. However we were given an upgrade and a very modest price reduction for the inconvenience.
The hotel, room and food were fabulous and sited well for the surrounding area. Although we considered we had excellent value for money it seemed that our 'package price' for half board (3 nights), through booking.com, was actually the room only price, the hotel did however honour our package price. The hotel would have been very expensive if a package price had not been available.
Excellent service when we had a difficult booking experience. Friendly and attentive staff The hotel is a little tired and could do with some painting and updating in the social areas.
We thought the meals were excellent. The Hotel had an indoor and outside pool which was nice for our children.
Clean, quiet room. Very pleasant staff. The food was good but the menu was somewhat restricted and fairly expensive. Least expensive menu was 55euros which did not compare favourably with prices we had been paying elsewhere during our month's sojourn.
Location, Hospitality of owners and quality of food Dated bedroom decor and inadequate shower in the bathroom
Good sized room. The restaurant was too expensive and the food somewhat pretentious. 35 euros was more than we would wish to pay for a main course. 95 euros for three courses is too much. The 29 euro menu was better value but here could have been more choice.Position of the hotel is not very appealing and the parking facilities limited.
The location just off the Toll Road was good ,the Town quiet,parking provided and the food and service excellent.
Food not very good. Quite expensive @ £90
Welcoming staff; pleasant surroundings; delightful dining room Although food delicious perhaps rather overpriced
Friendly staff and happy to arrange a travel cot for the bedroom No air-con which makes the rooms very hot in summer months. Bathroom very dated.
Sraff politeness General aspect of the room.
The Restaurant The location, even the TOM TOM could not find it
good rapport qualite / prix the receptionist challenged me about my booking and advised I had booked a room for 2 nights instead of one when I had made my 4 bookings at the same time and for the same period of one night?!
Of course it isn't a luxury hotel, but it's more than enough: free wifi access, free parking, air conditionned, clean rooms and nice staff. Rooms are too small for a four-member family. Fortunately, we got a new room for our children.
The food was very good The hotel was surrounded in wire fencing with gates locked at night - a bit intimidating
Good value for money. No family rooms that I was aware of.
Great air conditioning Limited choice half menu not available
Comfortable, friendly, excellent breakfast. Restaurant closed on a Weds and long drive to nearest one. No tea/coffee in room
clean,quiet and polite friendly staff. The restaurant is closed during August to "solo" visitors as the hotel and facilities are taken over by coaches and tourist groups. The web site should have known this.Price was a little high without B/fst.
Wonderful comfortable beds. Friendly welcome.
Good reception service Restaurants and Bars Breakfast is served from 07:00 until 10:00. Dinner is served from 19:30 until 21:00. is the description included on the web site. This is not the case and we booked specifically to avail ourselves of this facility.
We messed up our booking and the staff were very accomodating Not very comfortable
The pleasant welcome we received from your staff. The room smelt of smoke when we arrived. I realise this is as much a problem of your other guests.
Easy to find. Clean. Pleasant staff. Very uncomfortable beds. Didn't seem to be much for breakfast - there were 5 of us and we paid 40 euros for a roll and drink each.
Noisy exhaust fan in bathroom.
Easy to find, convenient stopover. Comfy, clean, just what we wanted.
Given we were only staying one night,the helpful and pleasant attitude of the staff and the excellent self-service breakfast
The room was basic but quite comfortable with parking outside the door of the room. Very convenient. The toilet facilities were clean but the small cabin rooms did not have their extractor fans working. Very clostraphobic.
One bed a little uncomfortable
the food Room needed decorating, wall paper coming off the walls. Also no coffee or tea facilities in the room.
Especially the friendliness of the staff and the comparably excellent restaurant.Good parking facilities. The room (for smokers) we had was shabby and very small.
Restaurant Le Seinomarin was very good With our room, there was a loud noise like a flushing toilet during the night, which went on for about 15 mins.
Nothing, we booked out the following morning, had booked 4 nights. Room was dirty, sink in bathroom was grubby, room was damp.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice buffet breakfast. It would have been nice to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room, and the room was a little warm.
Rooms quiet, clean and very comfortable. A few undesirable people hanging around.Price for breakfast extortinate - and no reduction for children!
We stayed in a triple room, but the single bed was perched on top of the toilet and bathroom. No chance of our 4 year old being safe in it. We had to climb up and put the mattress on the floor.
The staff were very helpful and the restaurant excellent. The car park gate needed oiling.
The owners were very welcoming, friendly and provided lots of advice about local attractions. Table d'hote meals were very enjoyable and gave the opportunity to engage with the other guests, and sample the local cider, calvados and cheese.
The hospitality and friendliness of the owners was great and the fact that English was spoken if necessary was extremely useful. The accommadation clean, comfortable and unique. As a centre to explore the area this hotel is in a great position for both countryside and seaside.
The family atmosphere our hosts created amongst the international guests at meal times was a delight and the quality of the breakfast and dinner menus was outstanding.
Excellent service - Stayed overnight on the way to Calais with Family. We checked in late and requested an early breakfast. Breakfast was therefore provided in our room and was excellent. The room actually turned out to be a small gite with 2 bedrooms, lounge/diner & kitchen etc, with a rural outlook onto a farm. Would highly recommend for anyone travelling with a young family - Watch out for the turkey though!!!!!
Much has been said about the breakfast, and it is all true! We didn't try the evening dinners, but heard very positive things about that from other guests as well. The location is quiet and very nice with the animals on the grounds of the farm. Nice places like Etretat and Honfleur are within easy reach, and other places like Le Mont St Michel are just a 2 hour drive away. The room was simple, but the bed very comfortable. The owners do everything they can to make your stay a pleasant one.
Very quiet setting. Owners of the inn asked if we'd like to stay for dinner for 20 Euros a person. Good meal and good value. Owner ate with us, as did others who were staying for the night. Very cute cottage with two separate bedrooms and a futon that comfortably slept 6 people. Cozy setting. Glad we stayed here. A really intimate feel.
Very good breakfasts and a very nice dinner for additional payment. Very friendly owners. Excellent environment - clean air and picturesgue surroundings in a village style. Interesting room decoration. Maybe, it would be better to improve a little heating system in a room. It was a bit unusual to do everything very quickly not to be frozen in the evenings.:)))
This second visit to La Ferme Saint Nicolas was as good as the first if not better as we had superb dinners in the evening this time. Our hosts were charming and friendly.
Very friendly, warm welcome on arrival. Accomodation full of character in lovely countryside. The owners were very helpful giving lots of information on local places of interest for us to visit. None.
The courtesy and warmth of the owners, the food, both at breakfast and dinner (when possible), the quietness of the location, the size of the family suite.
None No staff at night and room next to ours had about ten people in it and it sounded like they were having a party. After two requests for them to be quiet with no response, we phoned the number given in the room for such a problem and it was connected to an answerphone. We left a message and were about to leave the hotel at midnight when the noise quietened somewhat and we managed to get some rest.
upstairs looked ok. it had been refurbished. there were plugs in the bedroom and not only in the toilet. the rooms were nice and bright and it was quiet. they had redone the cafeteria but there was no lobby like there used to be. the hotel was being refurbished so there was lots of noise especially in the morning. i had to buy insect spray as i was being bitten in the room. my room was dark and dingy. there were kids screaming and running in the corridor all night long.
Price is fair poor location as too much noise outside makes it difficult to sleep. Also the room is smely of smoking and no towels provideded
No staff at night, making arrival time difficult. The room said No Smoking but the room smelt of smoke. The room was very noisy at night with someone singing loudly into the early hours.
Parking felt very secure and the tram line was right outside the front door. The hotel is meant to be non smoking but was over powering with the smell of stale tobacco. It was clear that guests next door were also smoking and sending fresh fumes into the room through the oddly arranged secondary glazing.
No light in lobby. Lobby and romm had a smell like tobacco and urine? Room old, dull and dingy. Sheets marked. Burn hole in bed cover (in a non-smoking room!). Some formica on furniture loose and broken.
Excellent experience We arrived at the hotel at 3 in the morning. I phoned in advance around 19:00 to obtain the car park access code. However, the receptionist spoke no English and with my limited French we could not obtain the code. This was stressful as I had a trailer with me and an expensive car and did not want to leave it on the road. If your staff cannot converse with guests then perhaps this vital piece of info should be on the reservation mail. Ie Go to reception and enter Red id into Automated machine Obtain room key Car park access code is on the key ring
Room was ready on time and on arrival. Clean and tidy, staff ( one person ) was helpful. my party occupied x 3 Triple rooms. No tea/coffee making facilities, strong smell of cigarette smoke in lift and corridors and the six rooms my party occupied even though there was a no smopking policy apparently in force. Location of the hotel by a main road meant it was very noisy at all times with windows open.
I liked the safe parking for my vehicle, and the entire hotel was receiving an upgrade when I was there. The staff was most kind and helpful in the short dealings I had with them The street it was on was very noisy, and no insulation between rooms made for noise as well. The safety chain was missing on my door, and the light switch in the hall was not easy to find
Great owner - a real character and very helpful. The hotel is very unusual consisting of several small chalets well out of town on the top of a hill with good views. Lots of donkeys and horses nearby. Very basic and simple but clean and fine for an overnight stop on the way to the ferries. Several restaurants in the local shopping mall nearby which were fine (c2 miles away). Very good rates. The code to get in was wrong and could not get hold of anyone to get in for 30 mins - had to climb over gate in end.
The peace and quiet and the views.
setting very friendly staff
Family friendly hotel personally run by owners. Particularly suitable for families as rooms are detached from main building and families can sit outside their rooms whilst children can paly on the grassed area in front of the rooms, Peaceful with good views.
Spacious rooms, pleasant setting, reasonable value for money
Good value. Spacious room, morelike small apartment with TV and fridge. Stairs ok for our under age 10 kids. Well signposted from road.Good apartment for looking around Rouen. Would use again. Quite difficult to find the area of Rouen it was in. We needed a code to get in the grounds and we could only get throught the gate initially by waiting for another car to come out!
Nice situation in lovely countryside with fantastic views. Fairly basic room but ideal for short stay, we had a fridge in the room which was very welcome. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful.
Easy to locate from motorway on route to south. Good family room, quiet location, good shower. Owner has two large dogs which although obedient do range around the grounds. Nearest resturant 5 mins drive away.
quiet location, friendly manager, shops and restaurants near by. no food or drink available at the hotel
The owner was really friendly and his hospitality was excellent. Fresh croissants for breakfast and plenty of bread etc. Lovely setting and well signposted. Good sized room for a family. Good location for a stop over on way to ferry port. The room could have been cleaner, bathroom was clean but round the edges of the carpet could have been cleaner and although no smoking the room smelt of cigarettes and there were cigarette burns on bedding and carpets.
It was ideal as a stopover on the journey to Western France. We only stayed one night but really enjoyed our stay. It was a traditional style hotel in lovely surroundings which made a pleasant change to the usual cheap stopover hotels. Breakfast was lovely, it would have been nice to have stayed for an evening meal too!
the hotel was very clean and comfortable and the fact we were able to have a spacious family room (one double bed and two singles) was ideal for our family. the only negative thing was that there were'nt any restaurants nearby so we'd hoped to eat at the hotel but the menu on the front of the hotel only had a very limited range of dishes so we had to drive out to find food.
Restaurant food was nice but limited. Rooms were very small and a bit tired.Hotel restaurant was closed the evening we stayed and there was nowhere else to eat in the town, they did however agree to cook us a meal which was very nice.
La Bonne Auberge is run by Jan who is the 'most perfect' host, the breakfasts were delicious, breads, jams, eggs, wonderful cheeses and a homemade dish of fromage blanc and chestnut, the best by far on our tour of France this year. Our accommodation was lovely and situated in the most wonderful setting in a beautiful garden filled with magnificent trees and flowers and with a view of boats sailing past on the river.
Splendid setting, fantastic views of the Seine. An absolutely perfect weekend. The owners treated us wonderfully. We were greated uopn our arrival and treated to a tour of the property and some refreshing cider. The owners even antecipated us wanting to go out for dinner and booked a table at a lovely restaurant in a town nearby. Delicious breakfast in the garden the following morning. We will definetely come back!
Location in town centre with nice aspect, lovely staff and excellent affordable menu. Private car park was bonus in town centre Bit awkward on spiral stairs but then it old building and i am getting bit ancient.!
The friendliness of the owners and their helpfulness
The hotel is centrally located at the market square of a nice little town in nice settings.Very good free WiFi. I was not aware that they request you to pick up key by 19.000 latest but got it at 21.00 since the owner waited for me. The hotel is very basic, but okay. Beware that they run the only restaurant in town and that it closes by 20.30 already.

When sensational obituaries go viral: a cautionary tale
February 25, 2016
By Teri Saylor
Special to Publishers' Auxiliary
Wilma Marie Voliva Black was not famous when she died last December at the age of 94 in an assisted living facility near Raleigh, NC, but through her colorful obituary, which went viral after it was published in The News & Observer and online, her life story will continue to play out whenever someone Googles her name.
Wilma's obituary describes a harrowing birth that she was lucky to have survived, and it goes on to narrate her formative years, growing up on an Indiana farm during the depression. In high school, she was in the National Honor Society. She went on to marry a man with whom she co-starred in a church play. A military wife who traveled the world and lived in nine states, she had five children and was divorced in 1969. She loved to read books and magazines, and she sewed most of her children's clothes. She moved into an assisted living facility in North Carolina in 1999, fell ill last Thanksgiving and died on Dec. 22, 2015.
Wilma's life probably was not much different from other people's lives. By the time you are 94, you have done a lot of living. But for most people, life's grittier details don't come out in their published death notices.
Here's the lead paragraph in Wilma's:
"Wilma Marie Voliva Black struggled into life over 94 years ago. Alone, Eva realized that her sixth child wasn't crying and unwrapped the umbilical cord from her only daughter's neck on December 11, 1921."
The obituary goes on to describe a marriage marred by adultery and alcoholism, a sad existence in a nursing home in the waning years, culminating in a lingering, lonely death from sepsis and pneumonia.
The story closes with Wilma's own characterization of her life as a melodrama.
"Wilma always said that her life seemed like a soap opera. Nearby stands the Indiana church where she had been baptized as a young and hopeful girl," the closing reads. "Perhaps not so much a 'soap' as a modern day tragedy."
The News & Observer pulled the obituary from its website and from the Legacy.com website Jan. 7, the same day it ran in the newspaper. To this day, no one—neither the executive editor, nor the classified advertising manager, nor the advertising director will comment on it—although all three responded quickly to interview requests.
Ken Garfield, a freelance writer in Charlotte, pens obituaries for people who want their loved ones' life stories published with a professional touch. Garfield, who is also communications director for Myers Park United Methodist Church, is a former religion writer for The Charlotte Observer, where he wrote the obituaries of prominent people. He started writing freelance obituaries through his work at the church and today charges $300 for his services. He also does speaking engagements and conducts workshops on obituary-writing.
"I don't do a huge business," he said in a recent phone interview. "I write two or three obituaries a month, and I have written four so far this year."
Garfield's typical client is a family member whose loved one is ill and preparing to die.
"Some of my clients are in their 60s and 70s and they are planners," he said. "They already have their cemetery plots, their funerals planned out, and they want to have their obituaries prepared to spare their families the burdens of dealing with it."
Garfield is familiar with Wilma Black's obituary. In its wake, local media have interviewed him about obituary writing dos and don'ts.
"As a rule, you don't play out family feuds in obituaries," he said.
On the other hand, he doesn't do fact-checking.
"I usually take people at their word," he said. "As a freelance writer, I have written roughly 60 obituaries, and I have never had a reason to question anyone's honesty. Generally, people are honest and treat their family's obituaries as sacred. They have a desire to get the facts right to the best of their ability."
At the family-owned News Reporter in Whiteville, NC, a Pulitzer Prize-winning, 10,000 circulation semi-weekly newspaper, Editor Les High has one simple but strict policy.
"We always defer to a funeral home," he said during a phone interview.
"The typical problem we encounter is when someone has been married two, three, four times," he said. "The current spouse is paying for the funeral and submits the obituary through the funeral home."
After the obituary runs in The News Reporter, the spouse from an earlier marriage may come forward wanting to run a revised obituary, or a brand new one.
"In those cases, we defer to the funeral home," he said.
The News Reporter covers Whiteville and the surrounding Columbus County area, home to 50,000 residents. Five family-owned funeral homes serve the county.
"We have a close relationship with those funeral directors," High said. "We keep each other out of trouble."
Most people don't hire a professional obituary writer. But as Garfield sees it, that might be a good idea.
"I am the first gatekeeper," he said. "If someone told me their father won a Nobel Prize, I would look it up. The newspaper publishing the obituaries should be the last gatekeeper."
Kim Evenson, a spokeswoman for Legacy.com, has seen a variety of obituaries go viral the way Wilma's did.
"Obits that go viral may be those that the deceased wrote themselves, obits families have used as a platform to share the real impact of addiction or mental illness, and obits that included funny stories or unusual requests," she wrote in an e-mail. "A common theme of viral obituaries is that they break the classic obituary mold—they don't simply list a collection of facts about someone. Instead, they include details and stories that make the person real and give people something to connect to."
Legacy.com, the publishing service that provides a sort of virtual funeral and family visitation, partners with funeral homes and newspapers to post obituaries and guest books for friends and families to sign, serves as a portal for ordering flowers, and provides other services.
Newspapers and funeral homes partner with the service to post obituaries online. The News & Observer is one of those partners.
"Our newspaper partners consistently tell us that their online obituary section is the most-read section of their site," she wrote. "We are a top-50 site in the U.S. and have a global reach of 43 million."
But Legacy.com does not offer fact-checking services.
"Our policy is that we will publish online all obituaries that our newspaper and funeral home partners provide," Evenson wrote. "We trust that they are reviewing and publishing obituary content that best serves the families."
Garfield, who has won numerous journalism awards, treats the obituaries he writes with the same professional standards on which he honed his craft as a journalist.
"Even though obituaries have moved out of newsrooms and into advertising departments at many newspapers, everyone should play editor, read them with their antenna up, and be alert for anything that doesn't look right," he said. "Obituaries are sacred pieces of writing that should be approached with truth, accuracy and maturity."
Amanda Martin, a First Amendment lawyer in Raleigh who represents newspapers across the state, offers a piece of advice:
"As a best practice, every newspaper should have someone carefully reading the obituaries for content and meaning," she said. "If you see something unusual, flag it for higher review. If an obituary contains anything negative about anyone else, it should trigger another review."
The real story behind Wilma Marie Voliva Black's obituary and the person who wrote it may never see the light of day, but the minute the gothic details of her rough, soap opera life were released into cyberspace, they took on a life of their own, and they will live on the Internet for years to come.

Very friendly staff and the breakfast was lovely, wide range of choice the pillows were way too thin and soft
Best thing was location , transport nearby , staff were welcoming The air condidtioning wasnt working when we got there which was very disapointing and some of the rooms got mixed up
Location is just near the centrum. Car park costs EUR 16 per day.
Location: only 10-15 minutes walk from the cathedral. Quick check in and out. Strong free wifi (1st floor room). Variety of restaurants &caffees nearby. Expensive parking (€16). Some of the staff was not very friendly.
Excellent staff. Good value, included breakfast. Approx. 15-20 walk to Dom
didn't know i should pay additional fee for breakfast till we checked out.
I booked for a double room, very late a saturday night, and when I arrived there only twin room were available, but the receptionist was looking for a double bed and finally he gave us a triple room for same price. Only free wifi in the lobby.
Friendly, polite service, suitable amenities
Excellent value for money - this is the 2nd time we are staying at this hotel!
Staff very friendly and efficient and always ready to help if you are in need of anything.
Quiet with nice view, friendly staff and excellent breakfast buffet.
Store nyoppsussede rom
Størrelsen på rommet var overraskende bra samt at det var rent og pent med rolig beliggenhet så sentralt i Köln. Frokosten var dyr og utvalget burde vært bedre til en slik pris, € 17,- pr. person.
Store rom. Moderne innredning. Rent. Sentral beliggenhet. God frokost. Rimelig minibar. Parkeringsmulighetene. Det gjaldt spesielt oss som hadde så høy bil at vi ikke kunne stå i hotellets garasje (>1,9m). Jeg antar at for gjester med normal høyde på bilene er dette ikke problem.
The vintage atmosphere and the old shoescleaner machine at the entrance of the stairs
For 10 Euros, a very nice breakfast. The hotel is in a quiet neighbourhood, and my room had a balcony. Everything was good.
Cologne is a wonderful City. I used it to stay in to attend the Medica in Dusseldorf. Caught the train every day. Shopping is good. Despite booking a twin room, I had a single bed and then was charged for two breakfasts for each day
Quiet location, only 150 m. from an U-bahn station. Excellent buffet breakfast No.
helpfulness of staff - told us transport information and good local pubs to eat in no kettle, cold bedrooms - got extra duvet. Kettle is a necessity
Friendly and helpful staff - recommended a good restaurant nearby. Nice dining room and a hearty breakfast and a very jolly waitress. It was a very cold day and the room was cool rather than warm. That and the twin beds slightly took the romance out of the stay...
Excellent! A light switch was broken in Rm 2 and presented a danger to users.
The staff were very helpful and accomodating. we enjoyed it so much we stayed an additional night.
15 min walk from the main rail station and the Dome, room (room 50 5th floor) was ok except the smell of smoke, tv, bathroom ok. Breakfast was excellent for the price (4.50e) Smell of smoke in our room
Even though, I was reserving the room a day earlier, it really did not came to my mind that for this kind of money I could be put into the basement. Literally!!!!
hotel staff cleanliness of our room
Staff Nothing
large quiet room, friendly desk staff, reasonably convenient location only 15 minutes walk from centre
The room was very comfortable - the breakfast was excellent - and the staff, if not always as knowledgeable as we would have liked, were both friendly and efficient. No
Efficient staff and clean rooms Wireless internet was slightly too expensive
Reasonable value for near city centre and friendly front desk staff No restaurant or room service (known), Good sized room, but in basement! Room and all its furniture and contents smelled really badly of cigarette smoke, consequently all my clothes and luggage needed cleaning afterwards.
Location quite good being within reasonable walking distance to the city Bathroom very small, towels far too small, showerhead falling down breakfast ok, but expensive for what it was. No lift
U-Bahn and Transpots are easy to reach, small restaurant and small supermarket all arounds. Taking the luggage to the 3rd floors without escalator, My room was to small, bett was to old, towells to small. And they didn't clean up the room properly.
breakfast carrying suitcase up 5/6 floors
Close to the Cathedral and Station, about 10 minutes brisk walk. Also easy to get to many of the Christmas Markets. The pension was clean and had everything you needed but very basic. Ideal for a one or two night stay. The staff were very nice and gave us an drink of orange whilst we checked in and helped with our bags. The room was small and a little cramped but okay for the one night that we stayed.
Location Bed was very uncomfortable
If you want to stay somewhere that is "unique", clean and friendly then this is the place. I am used to staying in the chain hotels and I suppose that is what I was expecting but it is certainly different! I would not put people off staying here as you do have a lot of freedom, your own key for the main entrance so you can come and go as you like! It is a good 20 minute walk from the centre, the room doors are quite thin so it is easy to hear people talking in the coridor and stairs, the double room was two single beds pushed together, not even a double duvet which is frustrating if you are going away for a romantic break! great if you're married! This hotel is great if you are students travelling and want somewhere mid range, however if you have got the money then maybe stay closer to the centre!
friendly staff the website said reception was open until 11pm but in fact it closed at 10pm -before my arrival time.
location Hotel Staff....
Relatively close to center The room was quite cold during the night and the second morning I could`t have breakfast because i didn`t announced it previously
We spent seven days in this hotel, which is a 15 minute walk from the city center- that is the main railway station and about 200 meters from the hotel there is tram. the staff is very friendly, the rooms are very clean, changing towels and more. .. one word- excellent .Regards from Serbia
Very nice staff with good recommendations for local restaurants. It was refreshing to have a common area without smoking. A previous reviewer noted that the elevator was very small. We have found this to be true in most German hotels. Regardless, at this hotel we fit my husband, teenage son, and myself in it with a large suitcase.
the hotel is lot improved since last I visited it few years ago, the staff are friendly and the services were good
Very Clean Hotel. Very helpful staff. Great location ... and yes, I would stay there again. No
Good location, friendly and helpful staff. Very clean, good sized rooms.
The hotel manager was particularly helpful and friendly.
I would consider the Boulevard as a real find for those wanting a well situated hotel offering very good value for money and above all, a friendly,obliging and very welcoming management and staff. I have no hesitation in recommending the hotel. Nothing
The location was good with local parking at a reasonable price.
The location is great - < 1km from the city center - Cologne Dome. Rooms looked refurbished - clean and staff was very helpfull and friendly. The double bed had a single matrasse - which meant my wife was catapulted everytime I turned ...;-)
Clean room, good bed, breakfast (fair and included in price) Only minor things - too soft and flat pillow, no minibar, coffe was not good at breakfast
The hotel is comfortable, clean and conveniently located. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The breakfast is good. There is some street noise.
First of all I would like to say that the staff was very helpful and friendly, the hotel/room was very clean, the location was also very good (only 5 minutes of walking on a straight street takes you to Koeln Hauptbahnhof and the city center, where the Dom is) and the breakfast was perfect. Thanks a lot for making my stay there so enjoyable!
atmosphere, comfortable bed, clean room, breakfast and helpful people. no lift, but they will help with luggage. the water for shower is very weak.
The staff was very helpful even if we were arriving very late.
Unbelievable value for money. Spoke excellent english and very friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom very clean. Lovely breakfast.
Friendly staff, cheap accommodation
Good friendly family run hotel. Very fair price and a step above most budget hotels I've stayed in. Just 15 mins walk to the main station and cathedral with the media park/Christophe St metro nearby for the lazy! Comfortable bed and shared bathroom spotlessly clean and well maintained. Multi Channel TV. No lift so problem if you have heavy luggage.
central location
I had a night stay in Cologne while driving from Italy to England. the hotel is very central, staff are friendly and really wellcoming, will definetly stay again.
Nice, familly hotel. Very polite staff. My room was small but I felt there very good. No parking infront of a hotel.You can use a parking space that hotel offers (a block away), but the street the hotel is located is one way so you need small "trip" to get to parking.
Location is excellent but the hotel itself is a definitely a budget hotel. extremely small rooms, the smallest ones I´ve ever seen plus shared washroom & shower. Other than the room of a size of a shoe box and shared washroom facilities (although, to be fair, I knew what I was getting myself into so no surprises there), I just hated the fact that there was no elevator there! The stairs are very steep, narrow and windy. Just perfect to scale for someone with just a (small) backup but if you have your 50 pound suitcase with you....good luck!
The staff was very friendly. The room and (shared) bathroom was kept very comfortable. The Breakfast was excellent. The rooms are not isolated, you could perfectly hear the conversation in the next room.

The Walther System was a star system in the Breslau Sector of the Silesian Confederacy.[1]
Star Geography Edit
It had a G2 primary and one inhabited planet called Walther Prime, and the government was considered "laughable" by the Manticoran Alliance. (HHA4.2: WOS)
History Edit
The system was part of HMAMC Wayfarer's patrol area. Its local governor at the time was a man named Hagen. There was no navy base there, only a custom's station. (HH6)
HMS Royalist was engaged by an IAN cruiser squadron in the system. (HH10)

I've had this sideboard for almost a year now. I got it way back when I bought three pieces of used furniture on Kijiji, last May. It sat in my dining room for a long time, then got moved to the basement and finally made its way up to the kitchen.
When we placed it in the kitchen, I could not believe how orange this thing looked. It was literally like someone had sprayed fake tan all over this beast. It was brutal. I couldn't stand it. It was hurting my eyes and it was dying inside, I just know it was.
I had to rescue it. It was my moral obligation to give this piece back some self-worth and self-esteem. That is why I painted it. True story.
Luckily I had just stocked up on Milk Paint and had a couple of colours to choose from. I wanted something neutral because I wasn't sure that I'd be keeping it and I think I have enough Eulalie's in this small house, so neutral was the right decision. I had never painted with Grain Sack before and I really expected it to be more of a gray tone and was pleased to see that it's kind of not. I guess it depends on the light, but I'm seeing more of a warm beige with soft gray undertones. It's lovely and as happens with every single MMS Milk Paint colour, I love it. Whatever colour I'm painting with seems to be my new favourite. This one really is so great. I cannot wait to use it again.
Here are some pictures of the before and after and a sneak peek of something that I'll be working on soon. I'd love to hear what colour you think these lockers should be…

Egypt's Army Puts Country On Path To Economic Destruction
By Farah Halime, a business journalist in Cairo and Visiting Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations focusing on Egypt's economy. This post originally appeared on Rebel Economy.
Egypt's army has put the country on a path to economic destruction.
Not only will foreign investors stay away from Egypt for at least a year, but the cabinet is going to fall apart and aid will be hard to come by.
The nation, now more vulnerable than at any time since Hosni Mubarak was deposed two and a half years ago, is on its own.
Promises of aid from the EU and US may now be delayed indefinitely. No one wants to be seen as supporting an illegitimate government that has sat back quietly as hundreds of Egyptians are massacred.
Of course, on one level, foreign aid is less important now given the $12 billion the interim government has been able to solicit from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. Western diplomats told Reuters that it would last less than a year, buying time for officials to iron out political issues.
But the events of the last 24 hours have destroyed any chance of political reconciliation and with another impending huge hit on tourism and foreign investment, Gulf money will run out fast.
The Gulf is not going to keep funding Egypt's ballooning deficit, especially as the country keeps spending foreign currency at a rate of $1.5 billion a month.
Egypt's so-called high-powered economic dream team are being weakened with every death on the street.
Not only has the resignation of Mohammed El Baradei totally undermined the government, but there are already rumours of others following in Baradei's path, including the government's chief economist and deputy prime minister, Ziad Bahaa ElDin.
So when Egypt inevitably runs out of cash in less than a year (if not a matter of months), there is only one place government officials will be looking to attract aid and that is from the same international donors, including the International Monetary Fund, African Development Bank and World Bank, it has ignored and asked to stay out of Egypt's affairs.
Except this time, the negotiations for a loan will be tougher. Stricter conditions may be enforced for Egypt to prove it has what it takes to use aid to benefit the poorest Egyptians. No government has managed to prove that since Mubarak was overthrown in 2011.
Besides, the real reason Egyptian officials have avoided intense negotiations with foreign donors is because the government does not care about working in the best interests of the people. Meeting the conditions for those loans would entail too much politically contentious work. And what politician in their right mind would implement these controversial reforms? (No leader in 60 years of Egyptian history).
So maybe this time international donors should take heed of this request and leave Egypt to fail economically (there is already pressure on the US to cut military aid to Egypt – read Marc Lynch in Foreign Policy, the FT's editorial, and the New York Times' editorial for why).
Egypt is completely off track where it started off two and a half years ago. Maybe taking Egypt's politicians, and particularly the army, off life support is just the shock the country needs after decades of dependence. By Farah Halime, Cairo.
For businesses investing in a volatile corner of the world, trying to predict political instability is a critical activity. One of the factors often cited as contributing to unrest is the high price of oil. But in Egypt, gasoline and diesel are heavily subsidized. So what gives? Read.... The Real Reason High Oil Prices Lead to Instability (Such As In Egypt Where Fuels Are Heavily Subsidized)Tweet

I eagerly wait all year for the first fresh peaches to show up at the farmer's market. And when they do, it's time to make green smoothies with peaches (if I don't eat them all first)!
Peaches make a delicious, semi-creamy base for a green smoothie. They can also complement the flavor of other fruits such as banana, mango, and strawberry. Nectarines can be substituted for peaches in any of these recipes.
Peaches are a juicy, sweet stone fruit that is very popular throughout the world. The peach is strongly rooted in history, the first mention of the fruit being cultivated around 2000 BC in China. The peach was first introduced to North America in the early 17th century, although they were not commercially produced in North America until the 19th century.
Peaches are a summer fruit that is harvested from late May to September depending on the climate.
Peach Nutrition and Health Benefits
Peaches are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, lycopene and lutein. Research shows that lycopene and lutein may help prevent heart disease, macular degeneration and certain cancers.
Green Smoothie Recipes with Peach
Peach-Citrus w/ Swiss Chard & Celery
Sometimes, I am in the mood for a simple, cleansing green smoothie after a long day and it's also fun to play around with ingredients to see what I can come up with.
This smoothie tasted great and was light and refreshing. It isn't as sweet as many of the fruit smoothies tend to be. If you want it sweeter, simply toss in a kiwi fruit or pear.
- 2 cups Swiss Chard (You can also use spinach or other leafy green)
- 1 to 2 stalks of celery
- 1 medium peach, pitted
- 1 medium orange, peeled
- 1/4 avocado
- 8 ounces of filtered water (or you can use coconut water to add a tropical tone to the smoothie)

Chocolate-Peach Green Smoothie
Here's a tasty chocolate green smoothie that's a healthy indulgence! Both cacao and blueberries are high in antioxidants and help fight free radicals. You can use fresh blueberries when they are in season, or frozen during the winter months.
- 1 peach, pitted
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cubed
- 2 cups of raw baby spinach (or other greens)
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder

Peach-Mango Tropical Fusion Green Smoothie
Here's a high-calorie, super delicious meal-replacement green smoothie that will fill you up. It's a great blend of year-round tropical fruits and seasonal, summer fruit like peaches.
This is a creamy smoothie with a distinctive peach flavor accented with mango. The banana plays a less dominant role in the overall flavor of the smoothie. You can go crazy with the leafy greens in this one too.
- 4 organic peaches, pitted
- 2 organic banana, peeled
- 1 large mango, pitted and peeled
- 4 cups organic spinach
- 8 ounces filtered water
Recipe Tip: To boost the calories and healthy fats, add a tablespoon of ground flax seed. You'll get over 100% RDA of your Omega-3s. You can also use nectarines, plums or even apricots to change the flavor in this smoothie.

Cherry-Vanilla Peach Green Smoothie Recipe
This green smoothie recipe is one of my spring and summer favorites. I love peaches, cherries and vanilla and it just so happens that these three flavors combine wonderfully in a smoothie!
This green smoothie recipe is rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, which give the cherry its red color. It is this antioxidant that studies have shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help with symptoms of arthritis. Eating cherries may also help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers (breast and colon).
- 2 organic peaches, pitted
- 1 cup whole cherries, pitted
- Vanilla from 1 vanilla bean (How to use vanilla bean.), or use 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, cut into slices
- 8 ounces of filtered water
Calories: 294 | Fat: 2g | Protein: 9g | Carbohydrates: 67g | Calcium: 13% | Iron: 4.5mg | Vitamin A: 1284% | Vitamin C: 120%
How To Select Peaches
Purchase peaches that give slightly to pressure and are aromatic. Peaches do not ripen after being picked, so unripe peaches will not get any sweeter. Avoid refrigeration as the cold will lessen the flavor.
Peaches have the highest pesticide residue load ranking 100 out of 100 according to research conducted by the Environmental Working Group. You should always purchase organic peaches. If that is not possible, peel the peach to reduce exposure.

Olympic medal-winning diver Tom Daley is to move to London as he switches his training base to the capital.
Daley will work alongside newly appointed Jane Figueiredo as he switches his 2016 Olympic training to the London Aquatics Centre at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The 19-year-old won his London 2012 bronze medal at the centre and was also the first person to dive from the boards at its official opening, ahead of the Olympics.
"Plymouth will obviously always be my home but after thinking long and hard about my future in diving, I have decided that a change will be beneficial to my development," Daley said.

Strachan fears swimsuit more than painful Splash!
TV presenter Michaela Strachan claims the pain of a disastrous plunge on TV diving contest Splash! is not as terrifying as being seen in a skimpy swimsuit.
The Autumnwatch host, who will be seen taking part in the first heat of the ITV celebrity show tomorrow, has already been hurt and said it was like being spanked with plywood.
But the 47-year-old said: "The scariest thing was having to do a photocall in a swimsuit. I don't do glamour. I'm an outdoor person who is more comfortable in khaki and a woolly hat."
She is among the celebrities hoping to emulate Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, who won the first series of the contest a year ago.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Top Japanese businessman Yasuchika Hasegawa backs Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's plans to revitalize the stagnant economy in the face of criticism that the government is sidestepping politically thorny reforms ahead of an upper house election.
The member of Abe's panel of industrial competitiveness told Reuters in an interview that he was confident the government eventually would take up issues like corporate tax and labor regulation, which critics complain have been left out of Abe's marquee policy agenda.
The omission of those and other measures such as liberalization of the farm sector have disappointed markets and received mixed marks even from some members of the growth panel, but Hasegawa, one of Japan's leading business innovators, said people needed to be patient.
"Prime Minister Abe has been acting with speed and commitment unparalleled by his predecessors," said Hasegawa, CEO of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd (4502.T), on Thursday.
"It's easy to find fault. But there is no one but Prime Minister Abe who can energize Japan. It's TINA -- there is no alternative," he said, quoting late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Abe's growth strategy is expected to be approved by the cabinet on Friday.
The prime minister said this week the government would decide on tax cuts in the autumn to encourage companies to boost capital spending, and promised to lay out the second part of his growth strategy after the upper house election on July 21.
Japan's economy grew at an annualized 4.1 percent rate in the first quarter, better than that of the United States, underlining a steady recovery on a pickup in global demand and Abe's bold stimulus policies.
However, companies have been reluctant to increase spending on plant and equipment. Revised GDP data showed on Monday that corporate investment fell 0.3 percent from the previous quarter, marking a fifth consecutive quarter of declines.
Hasegawa has championed looser labor regulation to help shift workers from mature sectors to growth industries.
"To make Japan a best place for corporate activities, we need to liberalize labor regulation, though I would not say as much as the United States," he said.
Hasegawa, who turns 67 next week, joined Takeda in 1970 and did stints in Europe and the United States as he rose through the ranks. He took over the helm in 2003 from Kunio Takeda, a scion of the founding family which had run the company for most of its more than 200 year history.
A self-confessed "risk taker and a man full of screw-ups," Hasegawa made his mark with a string of multi-billion-dollar acquisitions.
He bought U.S. biotechnology company Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc in 2008 for $8.8 billion and Nycomed A/S of Switzerland for 9.6 billion euros in 2011, in what was then reported as the biggest foreign takeover by a Japanese company.
Labor liberalization is a cause close to Hasegawa's heart, and Takeda is one of the few Japanese bluechip companies to recruit foreigners for senior positions.
The company is searching for people to fill its chief financial officer and top procurement positions, and Hasegawa said they are very likely to be non-Japanese.
"We need someone with a global-standard track record for our key global positions. We don't care whether they are Japanese or not, but they are likely to be non-Japanese when we look for experience," he said.
Hasegawa's globalization drive faces some of the very hurdles Abe's growth strategy is expected to fix.
"For global-standard talent, Japan is not an attractive market," he said, citing language barriers as one reason.
"Also, given Japan's high tax rates, nominal compensation gets higher if we try to be globally competitive," he said.
The drugs company is overhauling its business structure including procurement and research, after some of its mainstay products went off patent protection leading to a slump in sales.
Takeda disappointed investors last month when it said it expected far smaller profit for the current financial year than it had forecast a year ago, hurt by generic competition.
"We used to enjoy a very efficient business, with four blockbuster products generating 80 to 90 percent profits, and our main markets were Japan and the United States," he said.
The days of "blockbusters are over. We need to have both geographic and product diversification," he said.

They were the Christmas cards that would never be given to dozens of Australian women who died violent deaths this year.
The names of the 78 victims, most allegedly killed by a current or former intimate partner, were written on festive cards strung up on the lawns of Parliament House, read aloud and remembered with a moment's silence on Friday.
More than 100 support workers and women's group members gathered on the lawns at a rally to maintain pressure on federal politicians to do more to stamp out domestic violence.
YWCA Canberra executive director Frances Crimmins said 2015 had signalled a louder national conversation about domestic violence and resulted in numerous funding announcements from state and territory governments and a Senate inquiry.
"But it's still not enough," she said.
Ms Crimmins said Australia had failed to properly address domestic abuse and acknowledging that gender inequality was the root cause of violence against women was the first step to truly eliminating it.
"We need long-term, adequately resourced primary prevention, backed up by appropriately funded crisis and support services and effective law enforcement."
She called on politicians to provide adequate resources for respectful relationships education for young people across the country and to better resource front-line domestic violence services.
She also urged the government to boost access to housing support for women who fled domestic violence, remove means testing for victims who needed legal aid and to be more responsive to the needs of diverse and marginalised groups.
"This time of the year is when many families enjoy each other's company, and reflect on the importance of their relationships – but it's also a time when we see a spike in domestic violence incidents.
"We urge you all to be aware of this as we go into the festive season – for many women, this is a time of heightened fear and anxiety."
Fraser MP Andrew Leigh, who attended the rally with ACT senator Katy Gallagher, told the rally that conversations about respectful relationships needed to begin at home.
"The awful thing about the conversation around family violence for too long it's been considered a private matter, something not to be talked about rather than recognising all of us are diminished when family violence occurs."
Among the cards were the names of ACT women killed allegedly due to domestic violence in 2015; Tara Costigan, 28, Sabah al-Mdwali, 28 and Daniela D'Addario, 35.
Rally attendees held signs that advocated for the rights of women who experience domestic violence and read "She needs gender equality", "She needs access to legal advice and support" and "She needs to be able to tell her story in her own language".
The event marked the end of the global 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence campaign.

4.5 NTRP counter puncher with 2 hand bh. I love the extra spin and seems to reward a fast, long swing. It is very similar to the 2013 Aero Pro in my opinion (my video reviews online). I would say that this racquet keeps in line with all the other Aero line. Plenty of power from the baseline with ground strokes.
Great feel on ground strokes. An excellent choice for those who are stronger and can handle the weight

I love everything about this racquet. I'm getting great extra spin on the ball. I bought it because it was the update to the AeroPro drive which I had before this and it was also time for me to get a new racquet. Would recommend!
Great update to the Babolat Aero Pro! I was looking for a racquet that could provide not only loads of power, but also add a little bit of spin to my game. Boy, did this frame accomplish both of those feats! As a player that has played with the previous generations of Babolat Aero Pro racquets, I did notice that the Pure Aero did feature a little bit more of heft in terms of swingweight, which allowed a little more stability throughout the frame. I recommend stringing this racquet with a polyester string somewhere in the mid 50G+ç+ûs to help control some of the massive power & spin that this frame provides.
4.0-4.5 Player. Increased spin on serves and groundstrokes. Made kick serves a snap and power serves more dependable. Crossed over from the AeroPro Drive Plus and didn't regret it. This will be the new thing...don't get left behind.....
Feels great just too much power for me.
Very nice racquet, very slick paint job
A little more pop on the serve. Nice spin from baseline. Good feel at the net.
Extremely versatile, and user friendly racket. Could not find any dislikes about this racket. It might feel a little stiff for some folks but a soft string at the proper tension will take care of that. Very forgiving racket.
Love the spin and power, especially the kick you can get off the serve. For a babolat it is relatively flexible and soft. I strung mine up around 54lbs with no dampener and had no arm issues. Would highly recommend to other players to check out this stick.
3.5/4.0 player, strung with 53 lb rpm blast. I really love this racquet. So much topspin, volleys are great, great power on the serves. This racquet has feels great, very impressed with this stick!
Don't Forget...
