What do you look for in a hotel?

I try to get the most for my money, as everyone else, f course. But there are two things that are so important that are a must. I need a very clean room and bathroom and I expect a good bed with a good mattress and clean sheets. There are other things I want too, but they are not that important. The neighborhood has to be a good one if I`m in a city I don`t know.

I will choose hotel near the downtown. But the hotel should be comfortable, with good service, 24 hours' hot water, near to the park. Maybe it will be a little noicy to stay in the downdown, but i can enjoy the beatiful night and crowed people in the street.

The things I look for in a hotel are having my own toilet and shower and having a double bed! For me just these two things are luxuries for me. Having a bath would be even better. I think when we stay at a hotel it's a chance to relax, and I like nothing better to soak in a long hot bath without being disturbed, then afterwards crashing out on the double bed watching television. I only have a single bed at home so it would have to have a double. I am not bothered about a view or the food, it's the room itself would be important.

I like to stay at locally owned guest houses and in unusual accommodation. I like the sort of place where local people stay and not a pricey hotel which attracts rich tourists. The accommodation has to be affordable. My disabled son is in a wheelchair therefore ground floor accommodation is essential unless the accommodation has an elevator that works. I like the room to have space for three or four people in double or single beds. It is essential the room has a window. I like the accommodation to be situated in a quiet position away from street noise. I stayed in a tree house in Belize and in a ship youth hostel in Sweden.

Those that you mentioned are the ones i look for in a hotel... but i also consider the location... it would depend on the purpose of my stay in that particular area... if it is for going around and shopping... i prefer one that is near the malls or business establishments... just like when i went to Kuala Lumpur... the hotel i chose was like a walk away from where i want to go... but when i went to Cebu... i only wanted to relax... so i chose a secluded and quiet hotel with a private beach... and that definitely served its purpose...

For us, we prefer a hotel that is not really beside the major thoroughfare. There's nothing we hate the most but the sound of honking and busy traffic. We also need Internet connection and most of all, clean. We had an unfortunate experience of staying in a hotel that is supposed to be clean and they pride themselves for being a 3 star hotel, yet in the middle of the night, I started itching and I discovered more than 10 bedbugs! I woke up my husband and we requested for an immediate transfer of rooms. They even tried to convince us that they're not bedbugs but mere small insects.

While looking for a hotel, my first choice is about the price. I care about the price. If it is high and unacceptable to me, I won't choose to stay. Then it is a must that there should be a bathroom as it is very important for me to take a bath before going to bed. The third is related to the location. It should not be too far from the town center for shopping.

I have stayed in many different kinds of hotels in the past, and through that experience I have learned something about the things I find important when I book a hotel room. I didn't like rooms without windows and today I would like to have at least one window. I didn't like the cheap hotels where I had to share the bathroom with a lot of other people because I wasted too much time waiting in line, so I want a room with a private bathroom or a bathroom that I only have to share with a few people. The location of the hotel is important to me. It is nice when the hotel is in downtown and I am able to walk to sights and shops, but I don't mind staying in the outskirts of the city if public transportation is available. I once stayed in a hotel that was very far from downtown. There was no public transportation. A taxi was expensive and only other option was walking. It was possible to walk, but it was hard to walk all the way to downtown and it took a long time. Today I check the location more carefully, because I want to avoid that situation in the future.

maybe because until now, i think that my deserved outcome when spending money in hotel isn`t much, i choose the fee of hotel as the first priority... and maybe the second is the comfortable hotel or room..

Yes, my criteria for a hotel accommodation are similar to yours. It also depends what type of holiday I am planning. If it is a shopping paradise holiday, then I will look for hotel that have all the shopping malls nearby, something like in the city centre. If I want a relax with spa holiday, then I will search for the resort hotel with the best spa facilities, beautiful views to relax example at the beach or secluded island. If it is family oriented holiday, then the hotel should be near the theme park like Hotel Michael in Sentosa Island, Singapore which is situated right besides the Universal Studio Singapore.

Hi, As long as it is cool and comfortable with lots of water in the bathroom, no mosquitoes and flies, near the work area, it shall do.
