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.
