Never ask a hotel about a high-speed internet, because they will never tell you that their internet connection is actually notoriously finicky and vastly unreliable, especially if you are traveling to a rural area.

What you can do is check out the ‘’Hotelwifitest.com’’. The latter collects internet speeds of hotels across the globe and can lead you to hotels with a fast wifi connection.

Let’s admit it, no one is really expecting much from a hotel fitness center! The majority of hotel’s fitness centers only have some basic equipment like treadmills, weights, and some yoga mats, while others are seriously catastrophic!

However, if you are an active person and you really like to maintain your shape even in holidays, you can still keep an eye out for fitness centers that aren’t necessarily located in the hotel.

Sometimes, your hotel can have a deal with full-service gyms that allow hotel guests to use their facilities.

‘’The hotel is only a walking distance from the city center’’ is a sentence you tend to hear quite a lot when booking your hotel accommodation. In fact, these two words ‘’ Walking distance’’ doesn’t always mean what it supposed to mean.

Normally, a walking distance should be nothing more than 15 minutes. So, probably this is again one of these misleading words that you shouldn’t rely on much. So, next time, you need staying in a hotel which is only a walking distance from city center, make sure you check google maps.

This way, you are less likely to be late for your professional meeting or whatever important thing that makes you look for a hotel in the city center.
