🇬🇧 How I choose hotels

Today I’m going to talk a little bit about how I choose a hotel, especially in a destination I don’t know yet.

On every trip I create my own script, and I've already given tips here on the blog on how you can make yours. With the script I can identify the places where I want to go in that destination (tours, professional appointments, etc.) and the approximate location that the hotel should have. With that in mind, I discover the hotels in that region, to lose little time with travel, I see on the website of each hotel what they offer, and choose what seems to me to offer the best stay for a price that fits my budget.

Sometimes I just see what the best hotels are in a destination with rates that fit my budget and choose one, but even here I analyze the location enough not to be in a place far from everything. I did this when I went to Recife and stayed in a good hotel, close to the Boa Viagem beach, relatively close to the event I went to and the taxi ride to the Recife shopping mall was not very long. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to enjoy the beach or visit street shops in the city, which has one of the best cuisines in Brazil.

On these business trips I look for a hotel that has a wonderful bed and an even better shower. If it has a hot tub, I will love it. I stayed in a hotel in Fortaleza that had one in the bedroom. After a tiring day, a hydromassage bath is just too good. In those cases things like sauna, swimming pool and gym are not things that I value because I won't even have time to enjoy them. But when I travel with time to rest these things and others count positives for the hotel.

Another thing I value is the hotel's breakfast. Dishes of regional cuisine or made with ingredients typical of the region conquer me easily. I think one of the best things about any trip is to taste the flavors of the region. I like it when you have waffles, jellies, honey, pies, and some savory options like breads, cheeses and ham, things that can please the palates of anyone in the world, but with a good variety of local treats.

In the destinations I already know, I can choose hotels where I have already stayed or try other hotels. It depends on the experiences I had, the purpose of the trip and how much my quality standards have changed since the previous experience.
