BB Hotel Bed & Breakfast

Some more pictures from room variations of the BB Hotel Bed & Breakfast in Oberhausen I'm staying at whenever it is possible. Here you can see a family room :)

Mühlheim

This hotel was definitely one of the worst low price hotels I have been to in Germany. Since there was a fair in Düsseldorf I had to stay in this hotel. I will have to look up the full name of the hotel though. The only good thing in this hotel was the breakfast. They don't have any internet in the rooms, just in the lobby, the TV was sooooo small that you could barely see anything on the screen and the remote didn't work. Oh and the worst was the bed sheets lol they were so uncomfortable.

oh a disgusting detail regarding the bathroom ... one of the lotions was already used *urgh*

+++ good breakfast, big rooms

- - - no internet in the rooms, uncomfortable bed sheets, very old fashioned hotel

BB Hotel Bed & Breakfast

Here comes my report from the hotel I stay weekly at when I am in Oberhausen. It's nice and clean, not too expensive, has a flatscreen with sky (pay tv) for free, free w-lan, breakfast is included. It's very close to the Centro a huge shopping mall and a lot of activities (theatre, cinema, Sealife, restaurants etc etc.)

+++ price, free internet and pay tv, centrally located

- - - didn't find any disadvantage yet, but it depends on what you expect from a hotel, here you get a good basis package :)

Mercure Hotel Oberhausen

I spent one night at Oberhausen's Mercure Hotel last night, since me usual hotel wasn't available for a huge amount of people as we were. So what to tell about the Mercure Hotel? It has a good standard, but offers the same feature as the hotel I'm usually staying at, but it was twice as expensive. The breakfast was very good I have to admit and you could order lunch packages, which was also a huge plus in stead of eating at McDonalds lol.

All in all it was a comfortable stay, nice surrounding but it's a little outside the real center so a car is needed if you stay here.

+++ pay tv and internet for free, good breakfast offer, comfortable beds

Karlstad's Vandrahem Kasernhöjden

So I finally start the blog with my first real entry. Yesterday we have visited the vandrahem Karlstad which is a nice hostel to be at. It looks great from the outside with it's nice brick facade, inside it seems a little bit old fashioned compared to other hostels and the halls look rather than an old hospital than a hostel. Either way you have everything you need.

+++ TV, kitchen with fridge, beds are not too bad, shower outside the room, free internet, free car park just in front of the building. To reach the upper floors they also have an elevator. Breakfast is served when ordered. Cleaning is included in the fee.

- - - the internet has strange interruptions and his hard to reach for macs.

Here you get some impressions from the hostel:

Where did the idea come from ...

In this blog I will post about traveling experience, esp. hostels / hotels I visited. Some are recommendable, others aren't I might change the evaluation later on when I posted about some accommodations... I will have to think how to do it best.

In fact I love to travel. Mostly I travel around Sweden to follow one of my idols, but during the years I also visited some other places. I have to figure out if this blog will just be about accomomdations or also about places and cities I have been to... Also this will be developed during my writing lol

But I actually wanted to write where this idea come from. Sara, a friend, wrote when I was blogging while traveling around I should do it since I have been to so many hostels and private rooms, bed and breakfast etc. that maybe someone would like to read it .... So here I am. I hope you enjoy it.
