Choosing the right hotel is half the battle when planning your vacation. A successful hotel will delight you with its location, service, and atmosphere, so you can focus only on relaxation and entertainment. You should not rely on travel agencies for everything, as they usually care little about your comfort, for them it is often much more important to ensure formal compliance with the conditions.
Instructions
Step 1
Usually, when choosing a hotel, one of the most important parameters is the budget. The cost of a room depends on its type, on the remoteness of the hotel itself from the center or places of rest, as well as on the level of service. The more expensive the hotel is, the higher the cost of additional services not included in the room price, for example, for calling a taxi. Although the level of the hotel usually determines the number of stars, usually 3 * is enough to be sure that the quality of service will be good enough.
Step 2
Keep in mind that in Europe, even the 1 * level assumes that the room will have everything you need for living, even if the conditions turn out to be somewhat Spartan. Most likely, the hotel will not fall below an acceptable level of cleanliness and comfort, simply because it is called a hotel. In Asia, low-star hotels can greet you with insects in your room. The same applies to Turkey, you will most likely never find hotels below 3 * in the tour descriptions. In different countries, the number of stars may mean different levels of service.
Step 3
The hotels have a food system, it is indicated by letters. BB is a bed and breakfast, suitable for those who leave in the morning and return late in the evening. HB - half board, two meals a day. FB - "all inclusive" and full board, that is, three meals a day.
Step 4
Check the availability of additional services. If you go to the sea in hot summer, then the room should have an air conditioner, the parameters of which you can adjust yourself. It is helpful to find out if the hotel provides a service such as a shuttle service. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to have a lockable safe. If you smoke, inquire about the availability of an equipped place for this. The presence of a swimming pool, gym and other entertainment at the hotel can brighten up possible rainy days for you. Also find out which of these services are free for guests. Often in cheap hotels internet is paid for.
Step 5
If your vacation is active or sightseeing, then you may prefer a low cost to various amenities and included breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The distance of your hotel from the main attractions is important, whether it offers its own sightseeing tours.
Step 6
Decide on your goals. If you are going on a seaside vacation with children, it is important that the hotel has an animator, there are children's rooms and various programs for entertaining the little ones. Otherwise, you will have to constantly monitor what your child is doing, and this can be somewhat tiring, especially if you decide to relax.
Step 7
Always focus on reviews. For whatever reason a hotel has been assigned a star rating, this is subject to change. If the hotel has problems with the service or with some of the rooms, you will find out exactly from the reviews. If they are in English, review them with the help of an online translator: it is always possible to get a general idea of the essence. Ultimately, reviews usually play a decisive role when choosing a hotel.
