It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their way into the Guide.

Aliens landing on this planet might wonder what the obsession with holidays is all about. You have your home, all your possessions, presumably arranged in a way that suits your lifestyle, and you are familiar with your surroundings – so there’s nothing to stress about. So why would you up sticks and leave this domestic haven?
The American writer Ray Bradbury summed up the joys of travelling in the much-quoted saying: “We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, we travel to be lost.”
There is something amazing about discovering a new place – sights, sounds, cultures – perhaps making new friends and spending time sampling new foods, trying out new experiences, and having new adventures. As the saying goes: “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”
With today’s internet world and global accessibility, choosing where to go can be daunting. We hope that providing independent reviews of top hotels, we can take some of the guess work out of your travels so that every trip is a total joy from start to finish.
