TIMESTAMPS

Book a room 1 or 2 days before check-in 1:03

Photos of a hotel can differ from reality 4:50

Check the minibar 5:32

How to cancel a reservation and not pay a fine for it 6:33

SUMMARY

Sometimes, the price might be $100 when you check it 20 days before arrival, and two days before arrival it’s only 50 bucks.

That happens because hotel managers reduce the price in the last minute to fill all the rooms.

If you don’t like the room for subjective reasons (located on the upper or lower floor), you can also ask a change of room. In this case, you should ask politely, don’t demand! If there are vacant rooms, the hotel staff will show them to you.

Sometimes, the number of starts, actually, means nothing. A 3-star hotel can be much better and even cozier than a 5-star hotel, so read the reviews before you book a room.

Do you like those tiny bottles of shampoo and shower gel in a hotel bathroom? Then take them with you! Let’s admit – almost everyone loves them as they are handy while traveling. Don’t think you are doing something wrong.

Concierges with such pins are members of a particular public organization called "Les Clefs d’Or." Don’t be shy to ask them for whatever you need – they will gladly help you.

Every hotel wants to sell as many rooms per day as possible. Therefore, they pay a fee to different sites and offer them certain rooms, and you don’t get the best rooms at a discount.

You expect to get some luxurious room with soft light, but when you arrive, you see a tiny room with a half-ruined bedside table and the smallest bed you’ve ever seen. To avoid this annoying situation, search for the hotel photos on the Internet.

Always check a minibar in your room after check-in. A minibar is a magic chest containing different delicacies at crazy prices. To avoid wasting money for someone else’s pleasures, make sure all the bottles are closed.

The agreement usually states that the hotel is not responsible for cars parked on-site. You need to know about it in case any accident happens with your car in the hotel’s parking lot.

Instead of canceling the reservation immediately, ask to move it a week ahead! Then call your hotel the next day and cancel it.
