Hotel Guide
Are you going on a holiday? One of the most important decisions you take is choosing the hotel. Make sure your hotel is located at a comfortable distance from the airport and major tourist attractions, and it has the ambience you are looking for. This guide will help you choose the right hotel.
How to get the best hotel deal
If there is a holiday spot, you frequent every vacation and you have found the right hotel there, join the hotel’s membership program to get discounts and other benefits.
Check out the hotels in collaboration with the airline to get some additional discount.
Take the membership of a travel club. Travel and entertainment cards not only get you hotel discounts, but free dinners and other travel benefits.
Check out the hotel’s official website before leaving to see if you can present a printout of a discount coupon to save some more precious pounds.
Take the brochure along with you when you check-in. In case the room is not the way it was advertised, inform the staff on duty and get a better deal.
A little decency and diplomacy will go a long way in ensuring that you are treated well by the hotel staff. Be polite from the receptionist to the bellboy and they’ll do their best to make your holiday memorable.
If you are out of home to get some peace, make sure your room is favourably located. The top floors are generally the most peaceful. Do not take a room near the restaurants or the parking lots.
Make sure you have told the front desk staff EXACTLY what you expect from the room before they move in your luggage.
If you are travelling with your kids, go for a hotel that offers free amenities like play areas, pools and free meals. A kitchenette is indispensable for long holidays.
Remember that you often get lower prices through ‘middlemen’ websites than the hotel’s official site. Nevertheless, read the fine print carefully, since they often have very strict penalties against change and cancellation.
Tip: Surf the ‘middlemen’ sites for best hotel rates and make sure the hotel meets your desired standards.
