    Recently been upgraded to VIP looking for accommodation in the UK but don’t want to break the bank and also if you have any recommendations for europe/Asia as will be going abroad in the coming weeks but would like to experience the new VIP status so wondering what hotel you would recommend visiting when booking for this weekend so I can start booking coach travel and see what things to do in the city. Thank you in advance

    In the past twelve months we’ve stayed at the Radissons in Bruges, Gothenburg and Glasgow all with VIP status. Bruges was a bargain for a 3 night October weekend trip (406 EUR Friday – Monday) and a 3 minute walk from the station, so ideal for arriving late on a connection from Brussels having caught an after work Eurostar. The hotel itself is fine, typical business hotel lacking personality and the breakfast was take it or leave it but we were booking the trip very late and hotels in the centre of Bruges were astronomical in comparison. We didn’t need to go back to the hotel in the daytimes but it’s a 20 minute walk from centre which might not suit everyone. Gothenburg was the most interesting design wise with the very impressive atrium bar/restaurant area and the breakfast was a bit better than an average hotel buffet. We stayed two nights and I was ill overnight into the morning of our departure and they kindly agreed to a 4pm late checkout so I could recover prior to travelling home which was really helpful. At Glasgow we only stayed one night and were upgraded to a “junior suite” (basically just a much bigger room with big windows), staff very friendly, there was an a la carte breakfast menu for eggs benedict and such, it wasn’t spectacular but better than the buffet also available.
