How to Share a Hotel Room with Strangers

How to Share a Hotel Room with Strangers



Overnight school trips or group tours may have you finding yourself sharing a hotel room with someone you don't (yet) know. If you are used to having a private place to stay when away from home, it may be difficult at first to sleep in and share the same room with strangers, but easily overcome. This article will help you comfortably share a hotel room with strangers, and make your stay an enjoyable one.

Steps

  1. Get to know the people you're sharing the room with. This is the most important step! If you haven't done so already, introduce yourself and talk with each other as you unpack.
  2. Divide up where your clothes and other belongings will go. Most hotel rooms have enough closet or drawer space for at least two to three people. If this is not the case, put only a few items away and leave the rest in your luggage.
  3. Inform your roommate(s) of your sleeping habits, schedule, and other concerns. If you're prone to waking up at the crack of dawn or going to bed at three in the morning, let that be known as soon as possible to eliminate any disturbances. If you are all following the same itinerary, agree on a specific time to set the alarm clock or for lights-out at night.
  4. Be a nice and considerate person. Try not to be disagreeable or unwilling to compromise; it will just make your stay very unpleasant. If you find that you absolutely cannot continue to share a room with strangers, don't verbalize it. Simply ask if you can be switched to another room or if you can pay to have a private room.
  5. Be discreet when dressing, undressing, or changing. Avoid spending an unreasonable length of time in the bathroom if there are others waiting. If you make a mess, clean it up.
  6. Understand that you are all in this together for the duration of your stay. Everyone should be sharing an equal responsibility in keeping the room neat, allowing others privacy, and being considerate of those sleeping.


Tips

  • Get to know the people you're sharing the room with! This can't be stressed enough. You will not have an enjoyable experience, nor will you be looked upon favorably, if you ignore or refuse to get along with the people sharing the room with you.
  • If you have to share a bed with another person, put a big pillow in between you two.
  • If you need to alert them of snoring, sleep-talking, or any other disturbing behaviors, try to be as polite as possible.
  • Keep any valuables in a safe location, like on your person. You don't want to lose anything and being with strangers increases the chances of it.

How to Find a Cheap Motel or Hostel

How to Find a Cheap Motel or Hostel


Finding inexpensive accommodations may take a bit of work, but it is possible.


Steps

  1. Get a travel guide for your destination. Publishers like Rough Guide, Let's Go and Lonely Planet usually write travel books targeted to younger (read: poorer) travelers and include lists of cheap places to stay.
  2. Check out Hostelling International online. They run affordable, comfortable hostels worldwide.
  3. See if there is a YWCA or YMCA at your destination that provides beds for travelers.
  4. Some schools offer accommodations to their alumni, such as the Harvard Club, the worldwide network of Sacred Heart schools etc. Check to see if your college does the same.
  5. Try discount travel sites like Orbitz, Travelocity etc.
  6. Subscribe to weekly travel discount online mailing lists such as Sherman's or Travelzoo.
  7. Read Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel.
  8. Google "cheap hotels [name of destination]".
  9. Look at travel blogs and travel wikis.

Tips

  • When searching for cheap rooms, use words like last-minute or last minute to get the cheapest accommodations available.

Warnings

  • Make sure the hotel isn't dirty because of something unsanitary or something wrong with the building in general, such as a cockroach infestation!

Save Thousands Of Dollars On Hotel Travel With These Hotel Insider Secrets FIND THE SECRET HERE


How to Book a Room at a Historic Hotel

How to Book a Room at a Historic Hotel


Interested in staying in an antebellum or Victorian hotel? There are minuses, but for the history buff, many pluses.


Steps

  1. Check the Internet to see if there are any historic hotels in the city/town you wish to visit.
  2. If they have one, visit the website to see pictures of the rooms as well as rates.
  3. Before booking a room, check for reviews on travel sites. *See warnings below.
  4. Even if they offer online booking, for small, older hotels, calling the front desk to book the reservation is the best bet.
  5. Before calling to book the reservation, be sure you know what you want to ask: Is the room I'm requesting on the ground floor or an upper room? Do you have an elevator? Are there coffee makers, blow dryers, irons, etc. in the room?
  6. Before booking, ask what the flat total with tax? Ask if there are any other charges that may be accrued.
  7. Double check the cancellation policy. Most historic establishments have more stringent cancellation policies than modern establishments do because of fewer rooms. Cancellation policies can range anywhere from seven to thirty days advance notice prior to arrival or else you credit card will be charged.


Tips

  • Opaque travel sites offer the best deals, but the downside is that you don't know what hotel you are getting until you buy. There is a way around this, if you search for a website with a database of hotels that are listed on the website you are shopping at. You can match the listings in order to figure out which hotel you are getting before you buy.
  • Note that nearly all establishments that let rooms charge for extra people in the hotel room. This may range anywhere from five dollars up to thirty.
  • Also note that all rooms have a maximum occupancy per room. This is not only for the safety of the guests, but also to keep excessive wear and tear down in the guest rooms.
  • Do not ask for a discount on weekends, especially if the hotel is small. They will book all of the rooms and have no need to offer a discount.
  • Do ask for a discount on a Sunday through Thursday night. Most historic hotels will give a discount of between ten and twenty dollars off of the advertised weeknight rate.

Warnings

  • Take reviews read on travel sites with a grain of salt. It is human nature to write something negative when disappointed or angry than to offer praise when a good time was had.
  • If you are elderly or infirm, historic hotels are not for you. Most of them are not required to have handicap accessible rooms. You will be much more comfortable in a modern establishment.
  • DO NOT waste hotel staff time. They are there to assist you, however, they also have many other guests who need assistance as well.
  • When on the phone with the front desk, remember that often times that is the only clerk on duty and must answer up to a six line phone system as well as assist guests walking up to the desk as well as do the mountains of paperwork.
  • Try not to get "historical" and "luxury" confused. Just because an establishment is labeled as historical does not mean that it is in tip top condition. The rugs may be worn, the wallpaper faded and the beds old. However, what it lacks in "newness" it more than makes up in ambiance.
  • If you're prone to complain about everything, please, please, PLEASE stay at a modern hotel and save other people from your whining.

How to Choose a Hotel Using the Internet

How to Choose a Hotel Using the Internet





Choosing a hotel by making use of online resources is a great way to manage the task of identifying your options and booking a reservation that offers the most amenities as well as a great price. The actual method of locating and booking a hotel via the Internet can vary somewhat, depending on the location you have in mind, the accommodations that you would like, and the proximity of the hotel to amusements and other destinations you plan on visiting while in the area. Fortunately, the search options provided on many travel web sites make it easy to narrow your search and focus attention on hotels that are right for you.

Steps

  1. Determine what you want in the way of a hotel. Consider the amenities that you want to enjoy while staying in the establishment. This may include room service, restaurants or entertainment options on the grounds, a swimming pool or exercise room or even valet service. Knowing what amenities you want at your disposal during your stay will make it easier to use online searches to find hotels offering what you desire.
  2. Consider the price. Unless you have an unlimited travel budget, it will be necessary to look for hotels that offer an average daily rate that is affordable. Many travel search features make it possible to narrow results based on price, allowing you to eliminate options that are outside your price range.
  3. Think about the location. While a hotel may have an excellent daily or weekly rate, that is of little use if it is located far away from the sights and events you plan on taking in during the trip. Focus more on hotels located in a part of town that is more centralized to those activities, and you'll have a lot more time to enjoy yourself.
  4. Assemble a list of travel sites and compare rates through those several different sites. Make it a point to go to the hotel web site and determine the cost for a stay, then compare it to the cost if you book through some type of travel site. In some cases, you will find that booking direct will be just as cost-effective. Look for any online discount coupons or voucher codes that the vendor may offer, and use those to lower the price of your stay.
  5. Book your reservation online. Most travel sites provide a quick and easy way to book your reservation and lock in the quoted pricing. Typically, you will receive an email confirmation that details the length of your booked stay, the rates applied, and any taxes that are also assessed on the booking. The detail will also include a confirmation number that can be used in the event you need to cancel or change the reservations in any way.


Tips

  • As with making any type of travel arrangements, booking in advance will often offer the ability to take advantage of early bird specials that may not be available closer to the actual arrival date for the stay.
  • Most travel sites as well as hotel web sites will offer consumers the chance to register and sign up for special benefits and discounts on future stays. If you travel frequently, these loyalty programs may be worth investigating.

How to Write Hotel Reviews

How to Write Hotel Reviews


Based on your trip experience, you may want to praise or tear apart the hotel location where you stayed. Knowing how to write hotel reviews will help you give an unbiased consumer opinion that may help others make well-informed travel decisions in regards to their lodging accommodations.


Steps

  1. Choose a review site such as TripAdvisor, TravBuddy or TravelPost.
  2. Introduce yourself and tell why you took the trip. Share if your trip was business or pleasure and whether or not you took your family. You might also add your frequency of travel because that lends to your credibility as a resource for information.
  3. Tell what room type you stayed in. This might be particularly helpful as readers are selecting which reviews to continue reading.
  4. Be concise and descriptive with your review, and use proper spelling and grammar.
    • Give advice to the travelers such as providing details that you wish you would have known before you went on the trip.
    • Give information about the property that can't be found on the website. Tell if there are a restaurant or two right next door, so meals were relatively inexpensive, or share that it was in a secluded location and you could only eat at the expensive hotel restaurant.
  5. Provide information specific to your trip, such as if you had a nice concierge or if the maid created animals out of the towels each day.
  6. Include photographs if the site allows it. The old adage is true that a picture can be worth a thousand words, especially if it shows unsavory conditions that no hotel guest should be subject to.
  7. Include information about the location that you stayed in. List major attractions that it was by, be honest about how far it really was from the beach, or tell if you had to pay an arm and a leg in cab fare to get to the hotel from the airport.
  8. Share about the amenities. Tell if the pool was really as big as it appeared in the photographs, write about if the bed was comfortable or if you felt like you were sleeping on thin mattresses, or mention the quality of the television set and the cable options available.
  9. Discuss the services offered by the property. Write about how courteous or rude the staff was, whether the staff was timely in handling requests, and definitely comment about how clean the maids got the room.
  10. Focus on the big picture. A small error such as forgetting to bring new shampoo and conditioner can be forgivable if your overall experience was wonderful. Write to the overall stay, and don't get hung up on minor, irrelevant details.


Tips

  • Try and answer in the review what you would do differently if you were to stay at that hotel again. Tell if you would ask for a room far from the indoor pool because the noise was too loud at night, or share that you would have remembered to bring your own shampoo because the establishment doesn't supply those amenities to help keep their costs down for the guests.

The Secrets Of Work & Travel Australia FIND HERE


How to Travel Around the World

How to Travel Around the World



Traveling around the world is often a cheaper option than a return ticket to a single destination. The secret is to plan carefully and purchase the ticket well in advance. Of course, you will probably spend more than going to a single destination because of taxes, accommodation and activity costs and a longer trip but this is more than made up for by the amazing experience of seeing many places in a short time. And memories for a lifetime. Here are some tips for how to travel around the world.



Steps

  1. Price your trip as an "Around-the-World" ticket.
    • For train travel. Amtrak is the national rail company in the United States. In Europe, consider buying Eurail (for non-EU citizens) or Interail (for EU citizens) international railpasses. In Asia the Trans-Siberian railway goes from Moscow to Beijing where you can connect to Shanghai then Tokyo.
    • For bus/coach. In the United States, Greyhound provide bus travel. In Europe, Eurolines provide a pass to cover travel between more than 45 European cities. Megabus provide intercity bus travel in North America and Europe.
    • For air travel. Air travel is generally the most expensive way to travel. Use flight comparison websites such as travelsupermarket, skyscanner and kayak. Use flight brokers such as travelocity, expedia and opodo.If you want to go by plane, or by plane for parts of the trip, there are Around-the-World tickets. These tickets allow you to fly from city to city around the globe on your own schedule for significantly less than you'd have paid for individual tickets. Pay close attention to restrictions. Many "Around-the-World" tickets mandate that you must always be going in the same direction, ex. L.A. to London to Moscow. You could not go L.A. to Paris to London, this takes significantly more preparation.
    • For ship/ferry travel. Cruises can be cheap if you consider accommodation and meals are included. Cunard operate transatlantic cruises. TheCruisePeople compare cruise prices.
  2. Get accommodation. Some ideas for housing are hostels, which are located all around the world or if you have friends or family who live internationally, staying with them.
  3. Buying groceries. Making your own meals will dramatically cut costs, as opposed to eating out every meal.
  4. Stay in touch. For safety purposes, every few days find an Internet cafe and email your parents or friends, so they know where you are in case of an emergency.
  5. Spend time with the locals and be aware of your surroundings.
  6. Set a budget. Based on where you are going, how long you will be there and whether the country is 1st, 2nd or 3rd world. Obviously, first world countries are the most expensive (Europe, Canada, USA, Japan). Second world countries are a bit harder to define, but are usually somewhat developed (Mexico, Eastern Europe, China, Egypt). Third world countries are the cheapest but most difficult places to travel (most of Africa, Bolivia, Peru).


Tips

  • Realize that you don't need to bring everything and the kitchen sink, only the essentials. The idea is to save money. Get a backpack and some exercise and get out there. This is once in a lifetime experience and you don't need sleep, you just need heart and soul. Trust some people to give you some yummy in your tummy cultural food and some nice living quarters. Now get out there and have a good travel!
  • If you have no so much money, if you have no friends in a foreign country, so you can use some sites, offering opportunities to exchange houses. For example, you want to live to India, you find a person there who is ready to host you for free and make some excursions around the town.

Warnings

  • Currency and health are always the biggest issues when traveling.
  • Find out what currencies you will be using throughout the trip and plan ahead. Although traveler's checks are safe, they can be hard to cash in smaller countries. You can almost always find an ATM, and they will dispense cash in the local currency.
  • For health, get international health insurance, so no matter where you are, you can get medical help or be evacuated if necessary.
  • Check for travel advisories from your State Department in order to avoid the risky regions in the countries you want to travel to.
  • Make sure you got all the necessary vaccination for your trip (e.g. yellow fever, hepatitis, typhus...)
  • If you prefer host families, you should know that they are proved as real people, contact them through Skype or just call them. Look at the history of their guests and hosts
