1.0 out of 5 stars A fawlty guide, 17 Jul 2007

By	Graham Rust (Prague, Czech republic) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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'.
