Choosing the right hotel is an important point when planning a vacation! In a comfortable room, you will relax every day after long walks, so this is an important part of your trip. Moreover, no one wants to argue with the administration about dirty towels, lack of hot water and other trifles that can spoil the whole trip. Here are some useful recommendations for choosing a hotel so that your vacation goes smoothly.
The main thing is not to be disappointed
Choosing the perfect hotel for your vacation starts with determining your personal expectations and goals for the trip.
- If you want to lie on the beach all day long, choose a hotel on the coast, where there are shops and cafes nearby, so that everything you need is at hand.
- For those who want to walk around the city and explore its culture, you need a cozy and quiet hotel located near the main attractions. You don't have to waste time on long trips because everything will be within walking distance.
- Lovers of culinary delights, logically, should pay attention to hotels with a good selection of restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy local cuisine and gastronomic traditions.
- Families with children should look for hotels that offer entertainment programs for children, where there are playgrounds and children's animation services so that parents can relax and unwind.
- Those who lead an active nightlife should look for hotel rooms where discos and cultural events take place, and the buildings themselves should be located near the city's infrastructure and party areas where you can have fun and have fun.
Therefore, before booking a room, be sure to check where the hotel is located and whether there are additional entertainment activities.
Room prices
It is important to determine the budget that you are ready to allocate for your vacation. It is logical that the higher the category of the hotel by stars, the higher the level of comfort and the more extensive the list of services. However, with a limited budget, you should not focus solely on the star rating - a great vacation can be organized in hotels with 2 or 3 stars, which can offer good living conditions. A two-week vacation in pleasant conditions is sure to bring more joy than a couple of days in a luxurious five-star hotel.
When choosing a hotel, pay attention to special offers and promotions, study seasonal price changes and do not forget to read reviews from other travelers. If the price between different categories of hotels is low, it is better to choose the option that offers the best conditions. However, be careful with offers that are too tempting, as pseudo-savings can lead to unexpected problems.
Choosing a hotel depending on the purpose of the trip
We have already mentioned that the main thing in the hotel is not only comfortable rooms, but also its location, what additional entertainment it has.
If you are going for a beach holiday, of course, the main thing is that the sea is nearby. Pay attention to whether the hotel has a swimming pool, whether there are many sun loungers, whether there are entertainment activities in the evening: some people want to go to a disco in the evening, and many prefer silence. In Turkey and Egypt, there are hotels that cooperate with excursion agencies and water parks, where you can go any day with a big discount.
In ski resorts, it is important to choose a hotel that will have a sauna, a good restaurant, billiards and more, because after an active snowboard or skiing you want to relax and spend a quiet evening.
Do you want to do nothing for a week and just lie by the pool? Then the ideal choice is an all-inclusive hotel, where there will be a spa, a round-the-clock buffet, and the hotel territory is well-groomed and beautiful.
Here are the other things you should pay attention to when choosing a hotel:
- Photos of rooms, lobby and area around the hotel. They can be found on the official website of the place where you are going, but it is better to look at pictures and read reviews on third-party forums for tourists, where they post honest impressions of accommodation;
- What amenities are in the room, whether there is a bathroom in the room or it is on the floor, check for a hairdryer, mini-bar, air conditioning, safe;
- Study the map and see what is around the hotel: what shops, cafes, entertainment venues, etc. are nearby;
- Additional hotel offers: whether guests are met at the airport, whether they cooperate with excursion agencies.
Remember that the hotel is an important part of the trip! It is there that you restore your strength and relax in peace after a day rich in impressions.
