A few things before you go

  • Start with your main sightseeing areas.
  • Compare the station exit and the final walk, not just the district name.
  • Confirm room, luggage and arrival arrangements with the property.

Compare three bases

Use your real travel days

Mark your airport journey and two or three main sightseeing areas on a map. Compare the whole door-to-door trip for each property. A slightly longer train ride may still be easier than several staircases with suitcases.

Questions for the property

  • Which room type and bed arrangement will you receive?
  • Can luggage be stored before check-in or after check-out?
  • How does late arrival or self check-in work?
  • What is the cancellation deadline and total price for your dates?

A neighbourhood is only a starting point

Streets and properties within the same district can feel very different. Read the property’s current information and locate the actual entrance. This guide compares travel patterns, not guaranteed hotel facilities.
