Booking in
|
Although not a prerequisite, it’s probably a good idea to pre-book your stay in a hotel - and it’s essential for the hotels around the airport, which can fill up at a moment’s notice if planes are delayed.
Pre-booking can be done online or over the telephone, but the hotel needs your credit card details to guarantee your booking.
Some advise booking 48 hours in advance of your stay, others urge a two-week lead time.
When it comes to checking in, some hotels need to see your passport, others don’t; so it’s a good idea to have it handy, just in case.
Tipping hotel staff is discretionary; the concierge or duty manager will gladly advise on this, and on how much to tip. But remember, tipping is not expected.
The more upmarket hotels lay on transport to shopping centres and places of interest, while others can give you information and recommend companies that specialise in these sorts of things.
Most hotels will charge one night’s stay to your credit card if you don’t show up for your booking; other than that, paying for your stay is done when you check out. |
