Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
If you want to stay close to Loch Ness the Inch Hotel in Fort Augustus, Scotland might be the right choice. I found it to be a pearl of a hotel in its unique style. It is located outside the town on a small hill with good views on Loch Ness and some Highland Cattle (Kyloe) next to it. It looks a bit old-fashioned on the inside but I really liked this traditional style. Continue reading “Cute & remote”
The Mercure Haymarket is a nice hotel located a little bit aside in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is not too far from the Haymarket you can reach by tramway from the airport and the walking distance to Edinburgh castle is also still acceptable. The place is well decorated, clean and has very friendly staff and a good Scotish breakfast (including Haggis). Continue reading “Living underground”
The B&B Hotel Göttingen-City is a new hotel near the center of Göttingen, Germany and it was the first hotel I booked at my birthplace – for my bachelor party. It is located at the old railway freight area on the grounds of the former turning platform; maybe that is also the reason for its round shape. Continue reading “Drehscheibe”

When there is an important fair at the Messe Essen, hotel prices rise heavily and even shabby rooms are booked pretty fast. While attending the energy fair E-World, some colleagues already had to stay in Gelsenkirchen or Mülheim an der Ruhr. Continue reading “Art Hotel Körschen”
The 7Things hotel in Bremen, Germany is nicely designed hotel which follows the rule of less is more. The most important feature is that it is directly next to the Universum, an interactive science museum. The rooms are nice and we got a family room with a separated children’s room.

The Queens Park Hotel in London, United Kingdom is a hotel in a Victorian building dating back to 1900. It is nothing special in this area of the town and also a bit shabby – but it is perfectly located between Paddington station and Hyde Park. In fact all these buildings look quite similar from the inside and when walking through nested corridors to reach our room I somehow had the feeling of already having been there. Continue reading “Queens Park Hotel”
The hotel “Plattenwirt” is a four star hotel in Klagenfurt, Austria. It offers nice spacious rooms with balconies or terraces. It is special because of its location: it can be found at a remote place in Klagenfurt but it is very close to the Wörthersee – the famous lake creating a beautiful panorama. Next to the hotel is the “Europapark“, a landscape garden.
