I hate spending time in cities so it doesn't make much difference how "nice" it is, not to me anyway :joker: how close it is to the train station or wherever the gig I'm seeing is helps.

Aircon and a good shower.

Other than that (and being clean) I'm not bothered... It's just a bed, I wouldn't be in a city to spend the time in the hotel :think:.

Depends on what kind of trip you’re booking tbh.

City break = location

Week holiday in a hot country = rating, pool, features etc

...a room on a lower floor is the most important.../...I can’t do the height thing...

City break = location

Week holiday in a hot country = rating, pool, features etcI'd always go for self-catering house/villa for a non-city break, personally.

I always check if they’ve got a swimming pool and breakfast included when I’m away with work

This, I never stay in hotels if I'm going on holiday-holiday and not just nipping to a city for a gig or theatre.

Yeah, this is usually my preference

[UserSince2005]

I think location is always most important to me, and then I weight up price vs review scores in that area to decide which to go with.

Pool and breakfast included can be a clincher.

[Niamh.]

Good reviews, spa, pool, bath in the room

Never get why people want a gym in a hotel really. Even if you are that desperate for exercise I'd rather go on a run and see a bit more of the local area

Breakfast is a big one for me as is location, otherwise I'm not that fussy as long as its clean. Hotel bar is always a plus as well

[user104658]

Again with breakfast if it's a city stay then a decent breakfast is nice, but if I was on a "proper holiday" I'd much rather get out early and explore for somewhere to eat rather than have a cookie-cutter hotel breakfast.

An extractor fan for my night night joint.

It really depends how long/what you are booking for.

I would def look for price/local to the area if it was abroad but also anything else I was interested in. It's all about your specifications I guess

[Captain.Remy]

When I'm away for work, then it's swimming pool, gym and breakfast. I need to go to the gym after working all day long somehwere else, then I go tour the city if I have time.

For holidays, room view, king size bed, location, good reviews. And it depends if it's a city break or not. I don't mind how much it costs if I found something I really like.
You don't always look for the same stuff in Costa Rica than in Japan.

what the breakfast is like, how clean it is and aircon

the quality of the entertainment
