A gorgeous bar on the 22nd floor of the Reval Hotel, situated by the Europa Tower. Awesome cocktails and a stunning view over the whole of Vilnius. If this were in London it would cost a fortune. Only open from 1600 every day.
Reval Hotel
Magical hotel overlooking Isandlwana plain, an absolutly fantastic view. This is where the Zulu army defeated the British before going to Rorkes Drift where the British defeated them. There's more to it than this and at Isandlwana you'll learn about it. Hotel is 4-star, 10 rooms at half board. It is quite literally in the middle-of-nowhere. Brilliant. A place to go before you die..
This luxury five-star hotel is possibly the most famous in Cuzco. It is located in a former convent and offers a unique blend of Cuzco’s Inca and Spanish tradition. Prepare yourself to be transported to the past and enjoy this gorgeous city.
It is just two blocks from the main square.
A child friendly hostel - 10 minutes walk from Bella Center metro stop. My son and I stayed for four days last summer. There are places to play outside and a really good breakfast for 15 Krona.
It costs 95 Krona for IYHA/YHA members and 125 Krona for non members.
Bella Center metro - 15 minutes from the centre of Copenhagen.
Hotel-Studio right in the heart of Montreal's happening plateau district.
Friendly staff, small but totally functional rooms with cooking facilities & croissants delivered to your door each morning.
A great area to explore on foot, you are straight out of the door into the best shops & cafés in Montréal, an easy walk downhill to old Montréal or nearby Parc Mont Royal.

On Saint Denis, between rues Rachel & Duluth, 5 minutes walk from metros Mont-Royal (marginally closer) & Sherbrooke.
Next to the Sheraton. A really nice hotel with the same view, and it's much better than the Sheraton. The food's brilliant and the rooms are great with a fridge full booze that gets replaced every morning, as if by magic.

A very central B&B with great value for money, on the main walking street of Copenhagen (but surprisingly quiet rooms).
Offers a bunk bed room and two double rooms (one ensuite), both of which are lovingly tended by the warm and welcoming (but slightly eccentric) Brigitte.
Highly recommended, the perfect combination of central location, comfort and value for money. Breakfast offered at 50kr per person per day.

Far and away the best hostel in Phnom Penh. Run and owned by Cambodians, with a relaxed atmosphere, cool bars and happy pizza next door. The clientele were a nice bunch when I was there.
As the name suggests, the best thing about this place is that it is right on the lakeside - I spent many a happy hour swinging in a hammock watching Cambodian lake-life drift by.
Ask any motorcycle taxi guy to take you there. It'll be in your Lonely Planet too.
This place is a mixed bag. It certainly has the best rooms out of the budget guesthouses along Boeng Kak Lake, and undoubtedly the best view of the sunset. A great place for a beer as the sun sets - only rivalled by the FCC. However, you must run the gauntlet of the Scotsman who runs the place (who is mad as a box of frogs) and his pack of growling dogs.
It's not for the faint-hearted, and Brian's mad jabber can get wearing, but it's definitely worth a visit. If only for the sunset.
Down the very end of the muddy track along the side of Boeng Kak Lake, past Same Same Guesthouse etc.
The best place to stay is the Ratanak Hotel, run by the brilliant Mr. Leng (who can fix anything for you and will undoubtedly get you very drunk at least once).
As a destination, Kirirom is a bit off the tourist track and can be difficult to navigate without a motorbike or chartered taxi, both of which are easy to arrange from Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville. There is an uncommercial and small 'resort' with some rooms and a restaurant near the top of the mountain, but it is often booked on weekends. The staff are not the most warm-hearted, but you can tolerate them for the view and easy access to surrounding forest.
At the bottom of the mountain, you can find somewhat upscale accommodations and a restaurant at the Kirirom Hillside Resort. It is a beautiful place, with well-tended gardens, tennis courts, very nice cottages with air con and cable TV, horseback riding, and a playground for children. It's very nice, but clashes terribly with the living standards of the people living outside the compound (but not as bad as the luxury hotels in Siem Reap!). That said, it's often the only place with available rooms anywhere near the park. There is a waterfall and community-based ecotourism project about 10-15km down the road. A visit here might assuage the guilt of spending $100 per night at a resort, but it shouldn't!
I should also add that a visit could easily be arranged as a day trip diversion while in transit between the capital and the coast. As someone who has lived and worked in this province for about a year and a half, I hope that smart, sustainable tourism to Kirirom will help convince the government that forests are more valuable when they are left standing. The potential for unbridled development of this area is a distant prospect, but a prospect nonetheless. I hope that an increase in visits to this very accessible park will help promote awareness on the part of the government, convincing them to protect other forested areas in more remote parts of the country. Enjoy your travels!
Bokor is an abandoned hilltop town built by the French as a retreat from the heat of Kampot. It has all the buildings you might find in a French town; school, houses, doctors, hotel, casino that are all open to explore and often surrounded by a heavy mist/fog - its very "The Shining". It is also possible to stay overnight in the research centre (bring your own food and drink). There is no electricity after 9pm and you will have plenty of Cambodian ghost stories to send you to sleep.
A two hour drive from Kampot along bumpy roads. You can take a bike (if you have off-road experience) or hire a driver with car/4WD.
I stayed here for 6 weeks and it is fab. I think this is the only private women-only guesthouse in Delhi and it is safe accommodation for women traveling solo or in groups in Delhi. Home-cooked Indian meals, own bathroom, laundry and airport transfers mean a hassle free and safe way to begin your trip.
The airport pick up service is great as entering Delhi airport arrivals on your own is an experience!

A recommended place to stay is the Little Garden Bar, a villa-style guesthouse off the river, with clean rooms with fans and a nice restaurant serving Khmer and western food. Ten percent of profits go to a local orphanage called the Aspeca Orphanage.

Just completed a nine day trek to the top of Kilimanjaro. Cannot speak too highly of the Marangu Hotel through whom we booked. They have been organising treks up Kilimanjaro for a long time, have their own guides, porters etc and know how to look after you. They look after their staff well. We saw how some other trekkers were being treated and could see what a good deal we got. Many climb Kilimanjaro nowadays - ours was a bit unusual in that we camped in the crater overnight.

We were looking for a nice and affordable place in Barcelona to stay there for one week. We wanted something special, relaxing to enjoy our stay. We finally found our place via the website of Nicestay. As we were really pleased with everthing we promised those excellent guys to leave some recommendations here and there. And that's what it's all about.
If your budget allows, a great hotel to stay at in Siem Reap is the Foreign Correspondents Club (F.C.C.). Renovated from the old French Governor’s mansion, French art deco embraces modern chic. Contemporary, beautiful rooms, double rooms from $90, swimming pool, spa, room service, lovely staff, great good value restaurant/ bar serving classic Khmer food, contemporary European dishes and the best cocktails in Cambodia. Breakfast, which is included and is a vast amount, can be delivered to your room at your preferred time - from half four in the morning (to cater for the traveller who wants to see Angkor at Sunrise) until two in the afternoon.

It is a very reasonably priced hotel in the centre of Kazimierz on ul Jozefa.
The rooms are clean, towels and sheets are changed daily and although we did not ask for a triple room (and we only paid for the double that we requested) the very friendly staff (who were pleasantly surprised and helpful at my attempts to speak Polish) and hearty breakfast made it a good choice. We also happened to discover one of our favourite bars in Krakow just 20 yards away!
