You will not find hundreds of hotels on this website. Our mission is to provide you with a real informed choice. Our team read numerous guidebooks and magazines, scoured hundreds of web pages and then descended on each city with a short list.

Each hotel was personally visited, its toilets flushed, and staff quizzed. Nothing was taken at face value. Hotel brochures are treated as guidelines. Most were inspected unannounced. A rigorous exercise was then made to decide which would make the final list in each city.

Hotels do not pay to be listed and have no say in our comments and ratings, You can be assured that all our hotels meet the criteria for comfort, convenience, and value.

Now that is giving you real choice.
