This is the ultimate hotel guide on the web. All the hotels figuring in this guide are pre-selected by major European and American travel guides, magazines and newspapers. Reviews posted by recent guests on different travel sites are checked daily. We also add our own guest reviews we visit as many hotels as possible every week. Most importantly, all the best independent hotels do not need to work with travel agents, marketing chains or booking sites: their reputation is more than enough to fill them up weeks in advance, and they are all here!

Booking process

Our system puts you in direct contact with the hotels. Once you shortlisted your favorite hotels, you can request a quote from them for your dates of travel. Each hotel will hand-pick the best rates for you and send them back directly to your email address within a couple hours. Of course if you are in a rush, this might not be the best way since only a few of the hotels on our site update their availabilities. In this case, we suggest that you visit sites with direct hotel inventories such as Lastminute.com, Expedia.com or hotels.com.
