Very quite place - there were no other quests - too quite. But the advantage is that it is very close to Golden Horse Casino. When we reached the Guest House we hooted because we didn't know that there was an intercom. There was a man outside who was very rude to us because we hooted. When we finally got in the reception we received was very dull. A brighter reception area with a bubblier receptionist will be good. Breakfast - could be better. On the whole, our one night stay was okay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grupotel Taurus Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-Grupotel-Taurus-Park.h894258.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spires Serviced Apartments Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-The-Spires-Serviced-Apartments-Aberdeen.h904485.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in County Clare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-County-Clare.d601682.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Catalonia Del Mar - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Son-Servera-Hotels-Catalonia-Del-Mar-Adults-Only.h1001462.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Riyadh Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riyadh-Hotels-Hilton-Riyadh-Hotel-Residences.h19423594.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Mystic Dunes Orlando](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Mystic-Dunes-Resort-Golf-Club-By-Diamond-Resorts.h890951.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwentwater Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Derwentwater-Hotel.h57788444.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury 6 Bed Villa With Pool, Mullins Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mullins-Hotels-Luxury-6-Bed-Villa-With-Pool.h29492102.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu London Portman Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Nobu-London-Portman-Square.h19959.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Farne Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Farne-Islands-Hotels.0-l6092659-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Avani Palazzo Moscova Milan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milan-Hotels-Avani-Palazzo-Moscova-Milan-Hotel.h3421152.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Breakfast in City Centre Dublin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/City-Centre-Dublin-Dublin-Hotels-Hotel-With-Breakfast.0-n6176614-0-thotelwithbreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [ibis Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grandate-Hotels-Ibis-Como.h1685590.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Pooley Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pooley-Bridge-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d182612-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [4 Star Hotels in Maida Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Maida-Vale-London-Hotels.s40-n6047477-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Walt Disney World® Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Walt-Disney-World-Resort-Hotels.0-l6034120-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Shiba Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Shiba-Park-Hotel.h21359.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn New York/Midtown Park Ave](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-New-YorkMidtown-Park-Ave.h7946632.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dtw/lhr/detroit-to-london) > > [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/iom/aberdeen-to-isle-of-man) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Milas (BJV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/bjv/dublin-to-bodrum) > > [Flights from Christchurch (BOH) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/boh/jfk/bournemouth-to-new-york) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Liverpool (LPL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/lpl/london-to-liverpool) ### Cars > [Car hire in Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Colchester.d4609.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Cape Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cape-Verde.d32.Car-Hire-Destinations) ### Packages > [London Guildhall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Guildhall-London-City-Centre.d6079029.Attraction) > > [Ahmedabad Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahmedabad.d372.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [South Coast Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Coast.d6046244.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Mahé Island Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahe-Island.d3127.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit United States of America](https://www.expedia.co.uk/United-States-Of-America.dx201)
