Prioritize location over upgrades

A great location can save you hours across a trip. That comfort often matters more than a bigger room category.

Match hotel style to the region

In the cultural triangle, you may want a calm base with easy early starts. In the hills, you may want views and cozy indoor spaces. On the coast, shade and food quality matter a lot.

Our comfort checklist

We choose hotels that make the route smoother: strong service, reliable A/C, good breakfast timing, and easy check-in logistics.

  • Breakfast that starts early (for viewpoints/safari)
  • Comfortable lounge spaces for rainy afternoons
  • Consistent service standards
