Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
According to the movies, hotel rooms are places of intense passion--hedonistic hangouts or scenes of shocking violence. Mentioning the Bates Motel is enough to persuade most right-thinking people that no, they don't really need a wash after all. They are locations that bring out urges people would repress and conceal in the comfort of their own homes.
In practice, it's the consistency of the breakfast rolls, the noise level, the quantity of hot water and the ambience of the place that matter. These are the details which hotel guides naturally feast upon. But two things elevate The Good Hotel Guide above its less discriminating rivals: personal tone and independence.
This personal tone is the result of 100s of reports from hotel guests that the guide receives every year. "For many travellers, the most reliable way to choose a hotel is by word-of-mouth recommendation", the "Note for new readers" explains. "One way to describe this work is to say that it is the word of mouth in print." It's no surprise then to find it full of peculiar, sometimes amusing insights into everything from B&Bs to grand hotels. The guide's independence is ensured by its refusal to pay contributors or accept freebies from hotels and its dedication to unique hotels offering more than the big chains.
The Holiday Inn's advertisements used to announce that "The best surprise is no surprise." The Good Hotel Guide prefers to share the best secrets, while warning you of any nasty surprises that may be lurking behind the shower curtain. --Tom de Castella

I find this book really useful when finding accommodation for my boss and the TidyDesk.com team (who are very picky and like to know exactly what they will get!). An absolute must for any Office Professional or frequent business traveler.
Listmania!
