5 things to consider before booking a hotel
There are quite several things you need to consider before you take action making that reservation in any hotel of your choice.
After you might have decided to go on that much-needed vacation, you definitely would have to make preparations for your arrival at your destination and part of this is the number of funds you want to spend on booking, which will also decide what kind of hotel you have in mind.
Depending on your destination, which could affect your budget in a big way, and also the quality of the hotel you will find available, most of the other decisions you will take revolves around your destination.
Let’s take a quick look at the 5 things you will need to put into consideration as a traveler, before you check-in to the hotel to avoid regrets.
- Location before anything.
Always put the location on the top of your list any day and anytime. Check for restaurants near your hotel and other places you will want to be. There is no need to booking a roadside hotel if it’s 5km away from your center of activity. That’s a false economy!
- Breakfast at the hotel or a restaurant?
This is another very important factor to keep in mind. Most of the time, you pay more for a hotel simply because they are offering a “breakfast included” option and at the end of the day, or they end up serving you a badly made breakfast you won’t even be available to eat. Why not save your money and enjoy your breakfast at a very good restaurant outside, where you can enjoy the food and catch some fun.
Except your hotel is serving an incredibly delicious breakfast, eating out is more fun.

- How long is your vacation?
Before parting ways with your money, why not be sure on how many nights you will be spending.
It’s safer for you and more economical if you book just a bight and extend it if you have to stay longer than having a frank talk with the management over a refund.
- Check for size
Before you check into the hotel room, make sure you’re sure of the bed size.
Some hotel has bed sizes so small that you will struggle to have a single hour of sleep on them. Check pictures online and ask anyone who has to patronize the hotel before you have an idea of what their bed sizes look like.
