How we choose stays
We suggest a style of stay rather than a fixed hotel, then match it to your dates:
- central city / neighbourhood fit
- comfort level: value / comfort / premium
- room configuration
- breakfast / meal-plan assumption
- late-arrival practicality
- transfer-to-airport practicality
