A fawlty guide,
By
This review is from: How to Buy and Run a Small Hotel: The Complete Guide to Setting Up and Managing Your Own Hotel, Guesthouse or B and B (Paperback)
Apart from its total concentration on the UK (half the book is just references to UK rules and practices) this is a case of the one-eyed man in the land of the blind. The author talks as if potential hoteliers are complete morons. His advice is, for the most part, just common sense and not backed up by any special professional insights. It claims to be updated but, apart from a few pages on how to construct a basic website, it ignores the internet, the most powerful business vehicle for hotels. Worst is that fact that the business strategy advice is amateur, and dotted throughout the rambling text. Very poor. The author should read 'How to write a "how to" book'.

A Must Read for all Budding Hoteliers,
This review is from: Buying and Running a Small Hotel: The Complete Guide to Setting Up and Managing Your Own Hotel, Guest House or B & B (Paperback)
This book is really interesting and goes deep into the detail you need to think about before entering the hospitality business - whether your business is a tiny B & B or a Country House Hotel. Goes through all relevant Regulations, too, which could be necessary to know prior to Architects getting involved. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative read and is highly recommended - otherwise you may just end up like Basil!

Limited value to American readers,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buying And Running A Small Hotel (Paperback)
This book will be of very limited value to American readers because it is entirely based on running a hotel in Britain, and refers to British laws, taxes, etc.

2.0 out of 5 stars
this book is primarily for British hoteliers,
By vineyard guy "vg" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Buy and Run a Small Hotel: The Complete Guide to Setting Up and Managing Your Own Hotel, Guesthouse or B and B (Paperback)
some of the book is general, and generally applicable- to all; but much is Brit-specific, and thus i suggest unless You are thinking about Britain as Your target location... You might steer clear.
i don't wish to be negative, but i will say that i am also not raving about the content- generally. i wish i hadn't bought this.... |
