Waking up in any city…no thanks! But I’ll tell you what, when Premier Inn open their new hotel astride the Cob in Porthmadog they will have to invent a new category…
The view from the Premier Inn on the docks at Greenock over the Clyde and the Tail o’ the Bank takes some beating
So the criteria is number of morning insta pics and selfies? 🙄 weird that the most densely populated city comes out top. On that note surprising Cardiff is second and that the castle is one of the most photographed items. Beautiful parks, rivers, lakes and some stunning bits of architecture and people like that Norman carbuncle
Nice view if you can afford it. Most wish they could wake up in the very communities they were born in but due to numerous holiday homes can only dream that one day they might do the same.
You SLEEP in one? I don’t think that’s how they are supposed to work
Thanks for the witty response lol! Made me laugh. 🙂
That said, nothing wrong with being woken up by a woman, nice looking of course, jumping on top of ya.
But sssh, Llyn’ll piddle the bed if we keep on. 🤣🤣🤣
Yet more misogynistic commentary on website. I think this “community” has a real problem. If I were dishing out grants from the Welsh Books Council I’d want to look at this very carefully.
Cry me a river lol.
Surely this is just a count of how many times a hashtag has been used on Instagram, rather than any objective assessment of the aesthetic quality of the city.
If a load of people got up early in Truro and took pictures of the former Carrick District Council offices undergoing demolition and the nearby NCP multistory car-park, which is mostly notable for having CAR PARK in big concrete letters repeated 4 times, and the sunrise reflected in a puddle in one of the many potholes in the roads, and uploaded to Instagram with #goodmorningTruro they could win.
