Hotel Guidelines

Before choosing a hotel, it is very important ask trusted friends who have been in the hotel, whether they enjoyed their stay in the hotel. Alternatively, you can search the name of the intended hotel on the internet and read the hotel's reviews from other people.

What to look for in a hotel

Make sure the hotel is in a good central location and close to all amenities. A safe neighbourhood is rather important to make sure you enjoy a safe stay. If you are renting a car you might also take into account whether there is free parking available. If it's in summer and it's hot, make sure you check whether the rooms are air-conditioned.

What you must do after arriving your hotel room

Once you check-in, one of the most important factors in a hotel is the cleanliness and safety. Make sure the hotel room's door is safe and that the door closes completely. Regarding cleanliness, the bathroom area is always one of the most important rooms to check. The basin and surfaces should have been cleaned and sprayed with anti bacterial spray, and although often the mirrors are wiped down, it isn't usually a requirement of the cleaners to do so.

Make sure you check the cleanliness and hygiene of the room before unpacking to avoid any unnecessary inconveniences and / or delays while being transferred in another room.

Rating of stars in hotels

The rating star of the hotel can help guests know how good the hotel is. Star ratings symbolise the level of standards a guest can expect and are recognised worldwide. Ranging from 1 up to 5, the quality of service, amenities, size and condition of rooms and building, safety and security, atmosphere, quality of food and drink, hotel presence and efficiency of staff are all taken under consideration and judged.

One star

One star hotels have absolute basics like a shower room down the hall shared with other guests.

Two star

Two star hotels usually have en-suites, a colour tv and a bed.

Three star hotels

These types hotels usually have a private bathroom, colour tv, phone, bed and an optional laundry service.

Four Star

Four star hotels are bigger and more comfortable with a more luxurious touch. These hotels will also have 24-hour room service and optional dry cleaning services.

Five Star

Five star hotels are the best! The rooms will be of the highest standards and with great comfort. A 24-hour room service is also available and these types of hotels have luxurious amenities including spas.
