LEOFOO was a five stars hotel and was built in the middle of the LEOFOO zoo. Every room has two bathrooms and two toilets. Inside the room, there is a huge curtain covering the French window. When you open the curtain you can see many animals smile to you. Our room was surrounded by many cute animals, when we sat on the balcony the lemurs jumped to us and wanted us to feed them.  We lived in double-story house with a giraffe theme that was pained like an African grassland. In the resort, you can take a small bus to the zoo where  you can see the lions and tigers very closely becuase there are no cages, animals can jump on your bus to see you, and we can also see two lions fight each other in front of you. The meals in the resort were superb, you can chose any food you like such as buffet or order some special dishs from the chef. It is quite enjoy living there but also extreme luxurious, it will cost you 500 dollars for one night. I think it is really worth because you can pretend to live in African to experience animals life and relaxing day.]]> 2017-11-05 22:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203693451 Yu Man https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203693911
When I was studying in high school, I went to Taipei with my family in the summer holidays. We had high expectations for the five-star hotel which is a big hotel group in the world. You can easily find this hotel in different places. When we steped into the lobby, we felt quite elegant and beautiful. Actually, the first impression was good. However, when we got out of the lift and walked into the corridor, the atmosphere changed. The light bulb was dim. Everyone felt distracted and uncomfortable. The most awful thing was the uncomfortable feeling getting stronger and stronger when we walked inside. Even though the feeling was not good, we still needed to stay there for the whole night. Before I opened the door, I'd already knocked on the door. It's our custom, when staying in a hotel or hostel where we believe some soul is living, to tell them we are sorry to disturb them.  When we opened the door I definitely felt uncomfortable. But I told myself, I was a good person and I did't have to afraid. At night, I took a bath. Normally, I always take a long shower with very hot water to release my stress from a whole day. To be honest, I preferred to finish as fast as I could at that time. The weird thing was I felt cool at my back but I was using the very hot water to bath. It was absolutely a horrifying scene. 
In fact, I wasn't hurt this night. But I was quite sure that the hotel had ghost. I'd never had such as a stong feeling before. A few years later, I discussed the travel experience with my colleagues and I told them about this hotel experience. I was so surprised that they said I was so brave because this hotel was really famous for ghosts. Well, I knew I didn't feel wrong and I was so pleased that I was still alright.]]> 2017-11-05 22:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203693911 Sophia https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203694031 I have stayed in many hotels but the hotel I like most is Diamond Bay Hotel and Resort. It is a wonderful place. Diamond Bay is a five-star hotel and resort, located at the south of Nha Trang City VIETNAM. It takes 10 minutes driving from the city centre, 20 minutes driving from the airport. The hotel features 342 guestrooms, suites villas. It has beautiful design and full of qualified accommodation with all the features expected from a five-star hotel, such as satellite TV, Closet, in room electronic safe, mini bar... there are diversified rooms for the guest to choose. It is well equipped with huge swimming pool, golf course, tennis course, fitness centre, large spa... The view in there is wonderful. About the service in here, it is perfect with professional waiters and waitresses, good manager. They make the guests feel warm and happy with their friendly and circumspect ways of service. Moreover, room service which is available 24 hours offer a variety of local and international cuisine. This is all the reasons why many people choose Diamond By for their vacation. Diamond By is the best place for me ever. I want to come back there when I have a holidays again.

I booked a garden view room and when I walked into my room, I suddenly smelled humidity and the floor was very wet. I asked to change the room but they said we are fully booked until 2 days later. The second worst thing is after I took a shower, the water leaked in front of the bathroom door so I had to use a floor mat to mop by myself. The third thing is the horrible balcony because It looked like It hadn't been cleaned for long time. The last thing is the bathtub around the pool was awful because the tap almost broken and had a lot of something dirty inside.]]> 2017-11-05 22:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203694108 Eka https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203694259
I have been to the border of Russia and Mongolia with my two friends Irkutska is a place where people go travelling during the season holiday so, we stayed in a hotel for 3 days. The  hotel had twin  beds and 1 bathroom. It didn't have  warm water  to take a shower and it didn't have   internet . There was a TV . However, we went out for having a fun and spent our time busy with other activities and events. Room service was so slowly but food was absolutely delicious also the hotel of area was surrounded by trees and a big lake and mountains.There was beautiful places to go sightseeing . On our 2nd day we had hiking and ride horse for 1 hour we stayed in a cave for few minutes . when we went back to our hotel we joined other people and we made a fire show it was a unforgettable and memorable trip.   ]]> 2017-11-05 22:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203694259 Catalina S. https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203694467 My best experience in a hotel was at Sunrise Hotel on San Andres Island. I was there with my parents and my sister; our expectation was to share accommodation in the same room, but the hotel gave us 2 rooms. Each room had 1 queen bed with a wordrobe, freezer, tv, stereo system and there was a mini lounge and a balcony that had a memorable view of the sea. 

Also, the food was excellent, we had a lot of options for every meal. For example, in breakfast time we could choose eggs in differents preparations, variety of breads, meats, fruits and cereals. We could eat whatever we wanted and it was so important for us. 

Outside, there was a private island and a pier.
I was astonishing because you could see the sea in front of you and that mini island always was empty so we enjoyed a lot. We felt so relax and calm in that place and we enjoyed our company.

I stayed in a hotel I forgot that hotel’s name. It was very cheap for us. I stayed in that hotel for 4 nights but I never had breakfast in that hotel because we hung out every night then we woke up too late to have breakfast. However we didn't spend too much time in there because of the same  reason . Actually we really liked it. It has a beautiful lawn and a clean swimming pool but we didn't swim . We booked 2 rooms but My friend's room was a little scary because in that room we could see the shadow of a tree through the window.It looked like a women. So all of us stayed in my room. 

We had to wake up too early maybe 4 am because we would go to the top of a mountain. All of us had to take shower and a lot of us are a women . They took shower so late. I almost missed sunrise because them.

I went there with my college's friends for 5 days 4 nights. We went to many cities such as Hanoi , Sapa , Ninh binh. One of the most terrible hotels is in Hanoi. The hotel looked really nice on the website and quite cheap. So me and my friends decided to book this hotel in advance. But when we got there everything was so bad. A bathroom and a bed were a bit dirtier than they should have been. While some furniture was too old to be a hotel's furniture. We felt upset and uncomfortable for a whole night. I can say that it was the worst hotel that I've ever stayed in and I will not go back to that hotel again.

It was Papua New Guinea's Independence Day. Me, my mum, dad and my other siblings went for a road trip back to my dad's village.
The climate in my dad's village is so cold and it's between 12 and 15 degrees Celsius.
My granddad runs his own tourist houses back in the village and has a hot water system, a fire place on the wall of the lounge room with a large sofa around the fire place and a long chimney all the way up to the top of the roof. A large dining room with eight chairs and a large dining table, a kitchen with cooking utensils, a sink and a water supply from a large water tank, a stove and a freezer. It has five rooms, 3 upstairs and 2 on the ground floor.
The environment there was so moist and damp that you can see the leafs and flowers still fresh even when the sun is up. There are small fish ponds around the house with different colour and different species of fish. The place was so beautifully landscaped. After a four days at my grandpas we went back to the city.

I went to the reception to ask them for how can I went back to my room BUT I CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH SO WELL and I forgot my room number that I decided to walked around in a resort to found my own room, I done it almost one hour after all I found my mom that she was looked for me.]]> 2017-11-05 22:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203694814 D.

I have been in different hotels sometimes for work or holidays as well, but my best experiences is on holiday. The Sheraton hotel is the best hotel in my opinion, when you arrive at their lobbies you feel that you are an important customer, they give you many good options for a comfortable stay.  
The Hotel's facilities are modern and very nice, they have beautiful carpets and huge lamps on the ceiling , the couches are wonderful. The bedrooms are luxurious and  have a basic design, they  smell good and are so clean.
The food is delicious, usually they have some buffets or you can order any meal that you want.

But the best hotel is Menso hotel in SouthBank. The reason why I choose it is Menso Hotel has  the largest room of all I have ever  stayed in. It takes 10 minutes from TAFE and my student accommodation. I stayed there alone because I couldn't go to my student accommodation on the weekend. There were many advantages when I stayed there. The room was a double room, so I could relax. Additionally it has a big kitchen, dishwasher, cutlery and so on ; besides there is a pool in the hotel. Therefore I can say it is a luxurious hotel. In the afternoon, I roamed South Bank and I found out how the place is. 
I spent a good time staying in the hotel. However the only thing I didn't like was that Wi-Fi was so useless. So I used my phone in front of the door because my phone could connect to Wi-Fi. It was too difficult to pass my time there. Lastly, if my friends or family come to South Bank, I will recommend staying at Menso Hotel. Then they can spend a good time in Australia.

The most memorable trip that I love is a train trip to Chiang-Mai, Thailand for a week. It was such a long train trip around 15 hours on the non-aircon train. We went to the top of a mountain for hiking for around 2 hours. The scenery was breathtaking. We stayed in the dorm which had 8 bunk beds sharing with other guests who came from South Korea and Japan and we shared the bathroom. We had good conversations with them about our journeys that we had done before. Actually, the hostel was so cheap just 4 bucks per night. The building was quite simple which was redecorated from the old flat. However,They did not give us breakfast or dinner but there were quite good facilities such as aircon Wi-Fi and a washing machine. Honestly, it was not comfortable like a 4 or 5 star hotel, but I prefered this more than the luxuries hotelws because I could have a small budget and make new friends from other countries. We rented a motorcycle to go get the food in a local night market and looked around the city. It was an amazing trip for us. ]]> 2017-11-05 22:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203695607 Fabian https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203695919 I think that one of my best experiences in a hotel, was in Mexico, specifically in Cancun. I went there with my family (Father, mother and little brother) and we stayed in a Resort. That place was awesome, because it had 6 restaurants with different kinds of food from all around the world, (Asian, Italian, Mexican, Peruvian...) the food and drinks were included, so you could drink and eat whatever you wanted. The place also had three swimming pools, access to the sea and beach, and a private nightclub and a bar. That was an amazing experience. The other experience that I remember, was a trip that I made with my family again, but this time to La Guajira, in Colombia. That place is a really recondite place in the northern area of the country, its population is predominantly native and they are indigenous people, so we had to adapt to their livestyle, for example, living without a bathroom, shower and comfortable beds. On the other hand we had to go to the "bathroom" surrounded by trees and nature, sleep in hammocks on the beach, just right in front of the sea, without electricity, and neither a roof over our heads, just the beautiful and amazing starry sky.]]> 2017-11-05 22:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203695919 Nash https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203696474

I am still thinking about.

When I was 20.
My family and I went to a big resort witn pool, beach, buffet, nightclub,
casino and more
when my family and I arrived.
I got the vires called Chikungunya and I could not leave the hotel room.
the Chikungunya is virus that make you having a high fever, pain in bones and muscles and more Symptoms.
all the food I tasted was sour.
Even though my family said that It was delicious.
I could not enjoy the hotel.

That is my worst experience about hotel.
Even It was not hotel fault.

In Acapulco you can find all of kinds of hotels, since Resorts while cheap bungallows in front of the beach.
That time I went with all of my family for holidays and we get acomodation in the main avenue of Acapulco.
The rooms were no too bad, but without aircon and the matress pretty old.
I remember be very sick, with fever and sore throat for being all day sunbathing, my family was in the little pool and I was in the room.
I wanted go out to ask my mom the medicine and I was looking for my shoes when I looked under the bed and I founded a used condom! That was horrible! I was a teenager, but I could recognize this thing and was really disgusting.
After that, we put more attention on the details of the hotel and it was really dirty and running old.]]> 2017-11-05 23:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/robertdesmidt/8fc2ztzm935a/wish/203697581
