 First impressions of any new city mean quite a lot as it plants the seed for the journey We were told a taxi from HBF would be approx EU15 00 There was some traffic so we did expect it would be slightly more However EU45 00 wasn t expected so immediately we were on the back foot We should have taken the train and then the street car Then we meet Ernie we gave him our own nickname at Atlanta reception who had as much personality as a wet biscuit Arriving at 12 30pm and our room wasn t available until 2 00pm He advised we should leave our bags and head left from the hotel and find some lunch Unfortunately we took his advice We later found turning right would have taken us into a fantastic food festival as well as a beer festival 5 minutes walk from the hotel Shame on you Ernie this is your job to know these things and give good local advice to your guests The room was large clean Breakfast was basic but the coffee was terrible The queue to the coffee machine was always 5 7 deep but no one backed up for seconds For EU8 50 I suggest the option of a 10 min walk to a local caf
