About this title

Review

Now in its 22nd edition, The Good Hotel Guide 1999 has an outstanding reputation for providing reliable and independent information. This updated edition--the second in which Continental Europe has been separated from the UK and Ireland-- includes information on more than 1000 hotels based on readers' recommendations which are backed by anonymous inspections. The guide is divided into sections according to price and location. There are luxury city hotels, simple rural hotels, seaside hotels, skiing and walking hotels, as well as hotels for the disabled, those that welcome children and informal hotels run like private houses. The hotels' telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and Web site addresses are included. The entries vary in length and some include excerpts from readers' letters. It's peppered with quotes like: "Superb setting. Flowery courtyard. Service was theatrically, balletically perfect." "The young waiters giggled in a group and spilled the wine--but we'd go back." Each citation includes the name of the reader who nominated the hotel. Pull-out discount vouchers offering up to 25 percent off can be found in the centre of the book and are redeemable at certain hotels. An index and several maps at the end of the book make it particularly useful. The Good Hotel Guide is an indispensable resource for anyone planning a trip to the Continent who wants a good reference from a guide with integrity. --Dale Kneen

From the Author

The importance of independence
The Good Hotel Guide, unlike many other travel guides, does not accept payment, advertising or hospitality from anyone let alone hotels. That is why our readers trust us. The entries are based on reports submitted by our readers backed up where necessary by our independent inspectors. The guide gets more media praise than any of its rivals. For instance: The Sunday Times: "Not a perfect guide but all things considered the best." The Daily Telegraph: "Wickedly incisive characterisation, gripping stuff, faultlessly edited." The Guardian: "Squeaky clean advice. No 1 of the guidebooks that take no freebies."
