1. Set your priorities
Rank your needs before searching: location, quiet, breakfast, parking, accessibility, facilities or cancellation. Three priorities usually narrow the choice.
2. Compare like for like
Rates are comparable only for the same dates, occupancy, room type and terms. Include taxes and optional services.
3. Read reviews critically
Prefer recent reviews describing the room, noise, cleanliness and welcome. The overall pattern matters more than one comment.
4. Check the location
Check real travel times to your points of interest. A central location may be noisy; a remote one may add time and transport costs.
