Here I am back with a new hotel review. This time it is Titania Hotel in Athens, Greece. I stayed at this 4-star Athens hotel for 2 nights on business at the end of July. I didn’t have a chance to choose a budegt hotel in Athens myself, as a hotel had already been chosen and booked for me.
The staff at the reception desk were very attentive. The check in was very quick, even though the hotel was very busy. There were a lot of people in the lobby, but the elevators were too narrow and slow to handle with the volume of traffic. However, this is a usual situation in most European hotels, so it was expected.
My room looked a little bit old-fashioned, but there was everything I needed to spend a couple of days. It was quite small, but acceptable. The bed was comfy, the room was air-conditioned. There was a good selection of channels on satellite and cable television. The bathroom was very clean and had a very nice shower.
The roof top restaurant-bar “Olive Garden” is probably the best thing about Titania Hotel. It was really fabulous with breathtaking views of the Acropolis and the city. The food was very expensive, but it was just excellent.
Titania Hotel Athens is a perfect base for exploring Athens. Metro station is close to the hotel and in only a couple of stops you will be at the foot of the Acropolis. Lively Omonia Square is not far from Titania Hotel, you can easily get there on foot.
In my opinion, the Titania Hotel is an acceptable business and budget Athens hotel.”
Hotel Ipek Palas in Istanbul, Turkey - Cheap and Nice Istanbul Hotel

I haven’t written for a long time, but now I am back to publish my friend’s review about Hotel Ipek Palas in Istanbul, Turkey.
“I stayed in Hotel Ipek Palas Istanbul, for 4 nights. I booked the hotel on-line, as I usually do. I was looking for a centrally located cheap hotel in Istanbul and this hotel seemed to be situated right in the center of Istanbul and close to the city’s historical sights such as Grand Bazar, Spice Bazar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc. So, Hotel Ipek Palas is close both to city’s amenities and most important historical attractions, which makes this hotel a convenient place to stay both for leisure and business travelers. It is also easy to get to the hotel from the local airport, a tram stop is just a block away from the hotel so can get the tram everywhere around the city for cheap. Moreover, Hotel Ipek Palas is comparatively cheaper than other 3-star hotels in Istanbul.
I had a single room on the fifth floor. My room was clean and cosy though it wasn’t very big. The bathroom was very clean as well and new towels were given daily. The air conditioner in my room worked perfectly, the room would be cool in less than 5 minutes. Generally, the room was quite OK for the price I paid.
Breakfast was included in the price and it was quite good, but I think they should serve more hot dishes for breakfast.
If I turn out to be in Istanbul, I will definitely stay in Hotel Ipek Palas.”
StayAt Helsinki Parliament Hotel - The Centrally Located Helsinki Hotel

Hello, friends!
Today I would like to share my experience of staying in StayAt Helsinki Parliament hotel, 3-star hotel in Helsinki. I traveled to the capital of Finland on business and couldn’t see much of the city’s sights, but it still was very handy to live in the centrally located Helsinki hotel. In spite of StayAt Helsinki Parliament hotel’s central location (in the Tölö area of the city, just behind the Parliament House and the National Museum), my hotel room was extremely quiet – no outside noise at all.
My Helsinki hotel apartment turned out to be very spacious compared to rooms in other European hotels where I stayed. The room itself, the windows, curtains and the linen were spotless. There was a perfect in-room kitchen, which gave a sense of independence. The kitchen was equipped with cooking utensils, a microwave oven and huge a refrigerator. Everything worked properly, but the fridge seemed to be too noisy. I liked hot and powerful shower in my clean and compact bathroom. Fresh towels were available every day.
Breakfast was included in the room price, but the choice of food offerd by the waitress was rather poor. Moreover, the room assigned for having breakfast was very small and sometimes it was almost impossible to get a seat there. The service was friendly and quick.
All in all, if you are looking for a nice, cheap place with no frills to stay in the center of Helsinki I would highly recommended StayAt Helsinki Parliament hotel. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
Bye for now!

Hello, friends!
I am back with a new hotel review to share. The information about the following cheap accommodation in Glasgow was kindly provided by my friend’s son. He (with some of his close friends) has been to Glasgow recently. They were looking for a budget Glasgow accommodation in the city center and, at last, this group of students opted to stay in Mclays Guest House in Glasgow. They have heard some complementary reviews about this cheap Glasgow accommodation and booked rooms in Mclays Guest House Glasgow. On their arrival they were very pleasantly surprised by the guest house’s friendly atmosphere and even more by its very central location! The address of Mclays Guest House is 264 to 276 Renfrew Street, Glasgow. There are so many museums, art galleries, restaurants, let alone the best shopping centre in Scotland, close to Hotel Mclays Guest House Glasgow that this place is almost the best accommodation choice to stay on budget in Glasgow.
They had two very good sized rooms with shower and toilet to the right of the reception. Rooms were clean and beds comfy. The sheets and towels were spotless. The bathroom looked like it had been updated recently, the shower was just great! Room amenities included a colour television with satellite channels, tea and coffee making facilities and a telephone. A full English breakfast was also included in the price of the room. The breakfast was ordinary, but good enough to set you up for the rest of the day. And the waitresses were helpful.
So, if you want somewhere that’s cheap, comfortable and friendly, somewhere to sleep in Glasgow you should consider staying in Mclays Guest House Glasgow.
Thanks for Alex for the information. Bye!
Austria Classic Hotel Binders - Cheap Hotel in Innsbruck, Austria

Hello, friends!
Here I am back with a new hotel review. This time it is Austria Classic Hotel Binders Innsbruck, Austria. That’s not really my review, but my brother’s. Anyway, he provided me with the information about this 4-star cheap hotel in Innsbruck. The hotel could be considered cheap in comparison with other city center hotels in Innsbruck of the same star rating.
The area, where Austria Classic Hotel Binders Innsbruck is located is very quiet and it is easy to get to the city center using public transport or on foot. The Olympic Ice Stadium was nearby.
The single room, which was booked in advance, was very new. The balcony of his room was facing the mountains. In-room facilities were the following: bathroom, toilet, satellite TV and pay TV, radio, heating, work desk, alarm clock, hairdryer. The LCD TV was superb, but the heating didn’t work properly. The automatic lighting and the nice interior decoration were quite impressive.
Breakfast was not included and cost EUR 7.00 per person. My brother is a fast food fan, that’s why preferred having pizza instead of standard breakfast variety of food. He said it was very-very delicious and served until late at night in their small restaurant/bar area. It was a pleasant place to chat with friends, moreover there was internet access there.
The personnel of the Austria Classic Hotel Binders Innsbruck were very friendly, kind and always ready to help.
My brother liked the place, and said that he would stay in Austria Classic Binders Hotel in Innsbruck again.
That was my brother’s hotel information. Thanks him a lot!
