Stay
“Room service? Send up a larger room.” – Groucho Marx
Hotel selection is one of the most important decisions when I plan my travel. Imagine the sucky feeling to find crappy room after enduring the long hours of travel. So I turn to Google for tilting the odds in my favour.
My 5 main criteria for hotel selection would be price, cleanliness, location, free internet and hotel reviews. Price and cleanliness are self-explanatory. Location wise – hotels must be within short walking/ travel distance to the main train station or bus terminals. Free internet access is a must for me and it’s maddening that some hotels are charging the usage while it should have been included mandatory! Lastly, I will read hotel guest reviews at Tripadvisor.com and browse through non-edited pictures taken by the reviewers. Sometimes I will cross check with Expedia reviews too.
Once decided, I will compare the prices between hotel’s official website, Hotels.com, Booking.com and book from whoever is cheaper. Then I will just hope for the best and prepare for the worst. As always, some will turn out to be fantastic hotel deals while others fall below par. This page featured my hotel reviews of those which I have stayed during my travel.
I’ll be updating the hotel reviews, so do check back for updates or simply subscribe to the blog.
