Kimkim Trip Reviews

We only stayed here one night. It was very comfortable and staff friendly and accommodating. We needed our breakfast a little earlier and they were great. Very close to a square with lots of restaurants. Was a tad noisy due to this but we weren’t bothered. Elevator functional but very small. Common areas a bit worn.

Opt for a twin room (2 twin beds pushed together) as double room was very small. Enjoyed the rooftop deck and location close to the heart of the city. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast.

Hotel is in the Opera District, some attractions close by, but not in the heart of the city. Rooms were comfortable and was staff friendly (limited English speakers). Also offered a great breakfast! We had 2 adjoining rooms which was great but 1 room had a large tub/shower with high sides which was VERY difficult to climb in and out of.

We loved both the area and our guide. She could not have been more attentive and accommodating. Cassis is just gorgeous and quaint. We absolutely loved it!!!

This was really 2 tours in 1 day with the same guide. The morning wine tour was enjoyable with stops at 2 different wineries. They were very different, with the 2nd being our favorite. We then returned to Ax-en-Provence for lunch on our own and headed back out for a very long afternoon at 3 different Luberon villages. The were all lovely.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. The guide was amazing! He was super knowledgeable, easy to understand and made sure we saw everything. He answered every question and we could tell he really enjoys what he does.

Loved it!!!

The castles were beautiful and the driver/guide was friendly and accommodating. There is LOTS of walking and stairs on this trip, so just be prepared. Would have appreciated just a bit more information at each stop about where to go and what we were seeing. We got a brief overview and then we were on our own.

Loved our guide and everything we saw, tasted and experienced.

Tour was great. It was cool and rainy when we went, but we still enjoyed it. The guide was wonderful.

Loved this museum! Skip the audio tour, it’s not necessary. Enjoyed lunch in the fancy restaurant as well.

The tour made it so much more interesting. I highly recommend Allie and Fat Tire Tours!

Beautiful small villa in the Tuscan hills. So tranquil and enjoyable. Breakfast was excellent and the dinners we had were fabulous.

Hotel was very grand in its day but certainly very dated now. Breakfast was very extensive and tasty. The grounds were very nice and the pool was also nice. We were not informed that the beach was shut down the weekend before we arrived and as such no chairs or umbrellas available. The bed was very firm and not particularly comfortable, no wine glasses or corkscrew available.

Very comfortable and excellent location.

Sienna and San G are wonderful, wine tasting mediocre at best.

Best way to see Cinque Terra and Matteo was fantastic

Great experience and views but very long lineup for the cable car meant most of our visit to Mt. Baldo was in a lineup both getting up and getting down

This Hotel is one of the best Hotel in the area, service is outstanding, rooms are excellent and clean.

This Hotel Needs Renovation doesn’t upto the standards of Marriott Hotels. Staff is very helpful Specially the Supervisor Fatima

Convenient and lovely. Rooftop restaurant was surprisingly good and accommodating of my husband’s food allergy.

This was our favorite of the three hotels by far. It was BEAUTIFUL. We loved our room and the people there.

It was beautiful and peaceful.

Perfect downtown hotel. Comfortable, quiet and central.

Loved the boat and the captain and his mate! Food was delish. They were GREAT hosts.

We only went to one winery. It was GREAT but we expected a larger variety. Kimkim adjusted the cost appropriately when they found out. Yay kimkim!

Great boat! Fun staff! Nice guests who all did their own thing (which we loved!)

We ate wonderful food, had fun cooking it and met some nice people.

You need to wear the right shoes! You will be climbing up rubble. Guide was extremely helpful and insightful.

Friendly staff and nice location. Rooms are small and not well appointed. Shower was small and difficult to access. Breakfast was just ok.

Great hotel, beautiful rooms

Fantastic hotel - private cabin, nice location. The restaurant was excellent.

This is a great experience, however the climb to the cave can be strenuous and difficult according to conditions. If you have any difficulty with balance or heights you might skip this outing. Guides are great

The White Camel has the potential to be amazing. However, they haven't quite figured it out yet. They didn't take a credit card on arrival, so we were expected to pay for each drink/snack etc and tip in cash which was tough at the end of the trip. Lunch was offered on the menu, but took over an hour to get served. The room was really nice but had no way to contact the front desk or ask questions. The pool was great but again no way to order a drink/snacks without tracking someone down. The dinner and live entertainment was great. The views are spectacular.

Fantasic location. CLose enough to everything, but out of the way from all the crazyiness of the city center. Staff were helpful. Bar scene was great with live music.

Amazing location. Every staff member was super helpful, top notch. Food was great. Service was incredible. When i'm back in Barcelona, this is where I will stay and will recommend to others.

THey aren't quite ready for prime time.

Guide was amazing. Spectacular experience

THe guide was incredible. Views were great. Longer hike than we expected and terrain was more intense than described. We managed.

Great experience. Crew was great, small tour. Nice relaxing day

Perfect stay to end our trip in Japan. Absolutely lovely

Beautiful decor, peaceful and perfect location .The staff amazing

Wonderful place.

Great comfortable and perfect location

Best experience the gentleman there were so helpful, kind and generous

Magnificent hotel, beautifully situated. Great staff and solid food.

Terrible experience. Despite having reserved many months ahead, we were given rooms on the part of the fourth floor not served by an elevator. Not a great result for older folks. We were not clear why we got the worst rooms in the hotel when we had reserved so far in advance. The attendant, in a tired white undershirt, did not represent the hotel well. The 4th floor rooms were run down and the hottest in the hotel with no way to moderate temperature. Opening hte window was no solution due to noise from the nightlife just outside. While the the hotel is conveniently situated, location doesn;'t overcome the downsides.

Great staff and location. Upper floor room had a funny configuration but worked out ok.

Lovely little glimpse into local culture and economy. Short walk from hotel was lovely.

Magnificent town with some good walks.

Lovely town. Sadly, time to explore was curtailed trying to deal with luggage lost by the airline.

excellent hotel with good services and good tour guide. Good view.

The Santiago City Tour was a highlight of our trip. Everything was well-organized and the tour allowed us to explore the city in a meaningful way. We enjoyed every moment during this tour and found it to be an excellent way to see the city.

The all-inclusive programs we participated in were absolutely fantastic. We had no problems and everything was well-organized. We felt very well cared for and it enriched our stay significantly. I would highly recommend all-inclusive options for anyone visiting this area.

The Riyadh in Marrakesh was really nice. Our room was laid out in an odd way with the showers and bathrooms located kind of in the middle of the room, which wasn't ideal for privacy when traveling with my daughter. It was a bit quirky, but I guess that's part of the charm of these older historical buildings. Overall, it was a good experience staying there.

The hotel is lovely and the staff very helpful, but oddly some basics fell way short. We stayed at Barcelo Anfa Casablanca on our first night in Morocco and again 9 days later on our way out of the country. In both rooms, the water leaked onto the floor. There seems to be some design problem with the showers. On our 2nd stay, the room had lnly one towel for two people and there was only a partial roll of toilet paper that didn't last the night. There was also no hairdryer in the room and no hooks in the bathroom for a toiletry bag or towel. These oversights made for a less than ideal stay and we ended up making an urgent call for delivery of toilet paper and a dry towel, the already used towel was on the floor soaking up water when we realized there was not another one. A hotel of this caliber should and could do better.

The Marrakech Evening Food Tour could have been scheduled earlier in the trip. By the time we did it, we had already tried much of the Moroccan cuisine on our own. The guide wasn't very engaging, or perhaps it was a language barrier issue, but it wasn't quite the warm experience we had with the other guides during the trip.

wonderful staff. Great food!!

great location!

great hotel and location. Staff was wonderful.

a bit out of the main city for us.

What a beautiful resort! And what a posh, elegant, spacious and comfortable suite! We loved every minute we were there. The only drawback was that the beach was closed due to some government regulations. However, with our own en-suite private pool we were golden. For some, the proximity to the Heraklion airport may not be ideal. But for us, it wasn’t a deal breaker. The atmosphere is exceedingly calm, relaxing, modern, comfortable and elegant. Breakfast is phenomenal with more delicious foods than one could possibly imagine (or eat in one sitting). The restaurant offering Cretan dishes is beautiful, romantic and delicious. We ate there every night which is highly unusual for us but it was that good. I had a massage at the spa and that was a 5 star experience. I didn’t want it to end! We would definitely stay at this hotel again and highly recommend it!

This hotel had a great location- Just steps away from the Spanish steps and Trevi fountain. The rooms are in need of updating but they were clean. Over all probably our least favorite hotel of the trip.

The breakfast was wonderful! The room was beautiful and the staff was very attentive. Food choices were over the top!!

Alessandro was the best! Our group was on 6 people, I strongly recommend seeing this venue with a small group. There is so much to see and all of it is almost too much to take in. Alessandro was very good at explaining the things that we were seeing.

We were not able to locate our guide for this tour so we missed it. We arrived 30 minuets early and asked directions from several different people and still were not able to find the meeting place.

FUN! Our Chef was a ball of fire- Enjoyed making the pasta and terimisu

We had a great time with our guide- Germano (not sure of spelling) Really enjoyed seeing the Amalfi Coast

This was our second time in Pompeii, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed seeing things that we didn’t on our first trip.

Luciana was a great guide- She was very informative and we has a great day!

This was not exactly what we thought it was going to be like. The people in the group were all fun but we were disappointed in some of the food choices.

Once again Sara was amazing!

Sarah was our guide and she had a great passion for her job. We really enjoyed spending the day with her. She was a fountain of information!!

We had a perfect night to see the sights of Roam by night. We enjoyed our guide and the sites that he took us to.

Great location, river view was lovely. Breakfast was excellent.

Lovely little town nice rooms, excellent breakfast.

Beautiful rooms, 10-15 minute walk to the old town. Breakfast was elegant.

Tour guide was great, this tour complimented the tour of Berlin previously rounding out the Prussian history and WW2.

This was a fun activity to see the emergence of the craft beer culture in Berlin from the solid foundation of German Beer and purity laws to what they can do now with their craft beer scene.

Guide was excellent, this was a great introduction to the city and its history. We got a real sense of the history of Berlin, the war, and elements of modern day Berlin.

Sober look at the history of the rally grounds and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.

The guides were amazing and ensured we had a super fun time. There was some confusion on the time the tour started, but once we go going we had a great time!

Perfect combination of city tour, interesting food locations and local wine experiences. We went back to 2 of the places we saw on the tour!

Lovely appointments, quite clean. Bedroom was nicely appointed with a clean modern feel. Appreciate having a proper shower too. My only beef is that the room was so narrow, I could not walk sideways to get in the bed. I had to sort of slide in. I am sure the larger rooms were great.

This hotel has great bones but is in dire need of a makeover. Everything was quite tired. Musty carpets, finishes that are worn, hard to contain the water when showering, etc. Very helpful and friendly staff and good location.

Wonderful property. We were given a tour on arriving which made for a good first impression. The pool, restaurant and entry ways made for a great feel. The room was nicely appointed but alas the bathroom configuration with a tub without a glass partition with a hand held shower was not easy to maneuver without giving the floor a good soaking. The staff were all wonderful, in particular our waiter at dinner and breakfast, Lassene (sp?) who was not only helpful but incredibly professional. He was truly excellent! The welcome at reception should also be noted.

Wonderful experience! The camel ride was well done. Our camel, Abdul, was very caring and competent helping us to enjoy the moment. The entire environmentally friendly concept of the camp was immensely appealing to us and we were quite appreciative. Everything was good from the lodging, to the staff, to the food, and the entertainment around the campfire. The only problem was that while the shower was great , the drain seemed to have been blocked as the water didn’t flow out even overnight. Apart from that one issue, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Staff was welcoming and friendly. While being able to sit outside was great the furniture was decrepit and the lawn did not invite one to venture in as it was uncut. The room… ok. The bathroom…in a word- awful. And the shower was actually the better part this time. The toilet seat was essentially falling off and the rest of the facilities were not much better.

Interesting and eclectic room. The rest of the Riad also had a very original and authentic feel. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Lovely ambience. The only fly in the ointment was trying to shower in a tub with a hand held wand without flooding the entire floor- especially for older folk. We essentially had to become contortionists. Apart from that we quite enjoyed our stay there.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Had a good dinner. Bathroom was kind of weird and the room around the basin a bit confining but at least it had a real shower!

Very affable staff. Food and service were great.

Awful bathroom. Didn’t drain well and at times we had to watch our footing on the wooden slats. Could use some better appointments and fixtures. Very helpful staff and dinner wasn’t bad.

Our first meeting with our amazing driver Ayoub! Everything went like clockwork. Even worked in a quick stop at the mosque in Casablanca.

Poor maintenance, expected a lot more from this global Spanish chain
