How to choose How to choose hotel

Hurrah, the notice to leave is signed, very soon long-awaited rest! It is necessary to buy only round, and it is possible to collect suitcases, and to buy a new bathing suit, and to make still a heap useless, but pleasant trifles …

And here for purchase of round you come to agency. If you have already chosen, what country to make happy with the stay the hotel choice will be following point in the list. And if the theatre begins with a hanger, rest - with reception. All other components: such as flight or moving, a transfer, excursions - can appear magnificent but to live it is necessary in hotel, instead of in the plane or the excursion bus. This that place which should be as much as possible comfortable on any trip, not speaking already about such countries, as Egypt or Turkey where the tourist often appears in the limited space of hotel during all period of stay in the country (short of rare sorties in the resort centre or on excursion). Numerous dissatisfied responses about hotels with which sites with tourist subjects dazzle, involuntarily guard.

Let's think how to avoid the spoilt rest. In Europe, and especially in the North America, for a long time already the majority of trips is reserved by tourists independently through special systems of booking or directly at manufacturers of services. It testifies that people are competent enough in this question and often do not require tourist agency. Fortunately, we too have such tourists, which come to buy round, and confidently speak, which hotel is necessary to them. They seldom have bad responses after rest as they precisely know that want and that will receive as a result. Tourist literacy is very useful in the human life, not by hearsay knowing about foreign travel.

By the way, about literacy. Some words about what concepts "travel agency" and "tour operator" differ. The tour operator is a manufacturer of a product. It collects a tourist package from following components: hotel with a food or without, flight (moving), the insurance, a transfer the airport-hotel-airport and the visa (if it is required). On that the listed components became a reality and, it is desirable, pleasant for everything, the most part of efforts of tour operator is spent. And tourist agency in this scheme - its partner selling rounds to private persons. That is one does, another sells.

Now, the truth, at many tour operators is own points of sales. But all the same it is more than tourist agencies, they are good that rounds of any tour operator can theoretically sell. Basically, you can choose tour operator, come to agency and tell, that wish to have a rest only with (it at all advertising, it is an example), or with someone else. And they will sell to you round of this tour operator and will help to choose hotel.

There are some important points at a hotel choice which it is necessary to remember.

Trust question

We have got used to trust experts. And it is correct. But it is not necessary to believe blindly to everything, that to you speak in tourist agencies and write in fair brochures. Not a secret, that at desire sell the goods the manager can to hold back something, something to embellish, and can elementary not know the truth. We here, and hotels somewhere there, at the other end of the world, also it is physically impossible, if you the manager of a wide profile, to remember all nuances of all hotels. So, if the unique comment which the manager shares, this uncertain: «Well normal hotel, complaints like were not …», it is necessary to think once again not to become this the very first complainant.

And if you come in office of sales of tour operator where all managers have not once visited the country and have examined all hotels here there is a risk, that to you will offer not that actually it is necessary for you, and that is at them available at present. To trust responses of "skilled" tourists on sites too it is not necessary. Too little there objective estimations. To a married couple in holiday it was good, here and they have written an enthusiastic response and if swore all the week long successively can present to itself, what impression of rest they have brought with itself. About private life they details will not write to you, but "will come off" on the hotel description. Search for rational grain, separating it from плевел emotions.

Hotel site

Necessarily, simply it is necessary to look a hotel site. If the hotel does not have site, and on that there are no visible reasons (for example, the hotel receives a new category and, accordingly, processes a site about what happens is declared on a homepage) it is necessary to prick up the ears. Presently almost each hotel respecting has a page on the Internet. To find it it is possible independently, having set the name of hotel interesting you in the searcher www.yahoo.com (for example, three corners ocean view hotel el gouna). In my opinion to subjective opinion, but on the basis of long-term experience, I can tell, that it is the best search system by search of a site of hotel.

Necessarily add a word «hotel» and destination. A correct writing of a city or a resort very important. Perhaps, I explain for someone absolutely simple things, but how many time I faced what even managers of tour agencies experience difficulties with search of a site of hotel. So be attentive and do not confuse actually a site of hotel and its representation in one of on-line systems of booking, such, as www.tripadvisor.com or www.orbitz.com which too are not always objective. Though, if the owner of hotel all the same has short-sighted regretted means for own site though something to learn about this prospective vacation spot it is possible in these systems, and also on official sites of resorts and settlements.

Yes, and for what to us it so diligently to search? There are some moments to which it is necessary to pay attention. First, it is photos, they the person of hotel. As a rule, this person reflects prominent features - or it is small, cosy hotel with ridiculous pictures on walls, or this any faceless building which, under what successful corner it photograph, all the same shows ugly architecture of 70 or 80th years. At once it is possible to draw far-reaching conclusions.

Further on a site, as a rule, there are contacts are phone which can be left to relatives and the chief just in case (it the e-mail address on which it is possible to set questions interesting you is much more favourable to you as all questions on the affairs left unfinished before holiday will be discussed on company money, instead of on your personal), and. In English, certainly. Besides, the decent hotel politely answers more often within 2-3 days.

And, at last, on a site often happen categories of numbers which the hotel has are listed. Well if is not present at it numbers with a bed king size (a double bed of the biggest size), means, no, and to demand them it is possible as much as necessary, but it is senseless. It is necessary to manage inexpressibly sad category twin (two separate beds of the average or small size).

Or, on the contrary, on a site there is an information on a fine category - number with a view of the sea. Here nuance. If this number is more expensive, than number without a view of the sea it is possible to demand safely acknowledgement of a view of the sea from agency, and if at tour operator with which the agency works, the corresponding contract on the special price for a view of the sea is signed with this hotel. If the price one and for a kind on sea smooth surfaces is not present surcharge it is possible to send only a wish in hotel, that the view of the sea is necessary to you. The wish state in that place where you buy round, and it is necessary to achieve, that it has been in advance sent in hotel in written form.

Many agencies do not wait for favour from tour operators which, as is known, seldom listen to individual requests as specialise on mass tourism. Agencies write not to tour operator, and in hotel directly and in the presence of the confirmed reservation achieve from answer hotel. I will not tell, how many sweat and tears it costs to agency, but to make it really. The result will be positive in 50 % of cases because that is not paid, to guarantee it is impossible. Such here the life law. If you do not imagine, as it is possible to live in hotel without a view of the sea there is still a possibility to try happiness on a place - to ask about it at settling. Percent of good luck the same.

By the way, if the notorious view of the sea all the same is confirmed, it too does not mean an absolute victory over circumstances. There was at me a case when for magnificent in sense of service and all the rest hotel in the Emirates a fantastic sum including surcharge for Sea View have been paid. However already in day of settling the tourist calls to me and says, that from a balcony the sea is visible, only if to rise on tiptoe and strongly to overhang from a balcony. Similar procedure, you see, demands certain physical preparation which my tourists did not possess. After short debate next day (!) the hotel has given them normal number.

The situation with a category of number and a kind from a window concerns all additional services. It and inquiry about two numbers nearby, both balcony presence, and residing in the concrete case of hotel, and number for smoking/non-smoking.

Hotel arrangement

It is madly important, and at once it is necessary to pay attention to it. Actually, also it is necessary to begin with it both at conversation with tourist agency, and at independent viewing of the information on hotel. Whatever was fine the hotel but if it is located for kilometre from a beach, or it does not have territory, and around brisk city streets, or it is in doubtful area, you should foreknow about it, instead of find out as a surprise on a place.

Once for a long time I the first time gathered to Paris and have chosen hotel on area Pigal. About it has been written, that it near to the centre and that is very well-known area, and around is a lot of sights. Really, the name «Pigal» was on hearing, and I it joyfully reserved offered room. Already during a trip to the car in hotel strange things have begun. When the driver has heard the address, he has asked, and whether really we want in this hotel, maybe, us to bring in any another? On our concerned question in what business, he has frostily answered, that area not so good. And it is softly told! Popularity of this area on which I so "was thoughtlessly bought", was, to put it mildly, not the best - this area is known in Paris as quarter of red lanterns where almost each house is either a sex shop, or pip-show, or a suspicious bar with undressed girls behind a rack. In general, everything, that you only can present to yourselves in this sense, there was. Plus crowd of the swindlers aiming on pockets. In the evening in these streets very uncomfortably if, of course, you do not search for adventures. Besides, the hotel was far enough from the centre, that too it was inconvenient. In general, an arrangement and once again an arrangement!

The useful question which should be specified repeatedly at a choice of hotel at the sea, it on what line from a beach it is, and that in this case is understood as the first or second line. Sometimes the second line name not the hotel located directly behind hotel on the first line as it is considered to be, and being it is not known where, and to the sea two hours wood. In case of doubts the card of coast with the hotels marked on it will rescue. Necessarily demand such card or search for it on the Internet, they exist practically for all resorts.

If you are not going to spend all time for a beach, and plan to get out in people it is necessary to pay attention where "people" and where your hotel. For example, living in one of hotels in a southern part of Goa, is problematic enough to reach on party in northern part of staff. To go about an hour, it недешево, and what drivers to India! Streetracers nervously smoke aside. Though, say, that failures at them practically do not happen …

However to choose hotel to you, and to solve to you so be attentive, receive particulars in advance, and all at you will be good!
