Review
Best guides for those on a real budget in Europe. Margo Classe of LosAngeles set out to find cheap hotels in France, Spain and Italy. Ask her to describe a hotel room decor and she laughs. I look for basic comfort, cleanliness and a central location where you don't have to have a car, she said in a phone interview. The question is, can you have a private, clean, charming room with your own bathroom for under $100, and the answer is yes. She includes 170 hotels in Paris alone. Classe and her husband spent $30,000 publishing her books; nobody pays to get in a book, and she has seen very place she writes about. -- Milli Ball, The Times-Picayune - Sunday, December 27, 1998
Hotel hoppers traveling on a shoestring should check out this series of guides to affordable lodging in major destinations. Accommodations listed in these books range in price from $40-$90. All three books also provide tips on packing, time, language and events with a few extra pages for note-taking. The handy fax form seems as if it would be extremely useful to people booking their own accommodations. A bit congested in terms of layout and therefore a little difficult to access, these first edition guides still appear o be extraordinarily useful.

Worth every peseta!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hello Spain! an Insider's Guide to Spain Hotels: An Insider's Guide to Spain's Hotels $40 to $80 a Night for Two (Hello! Budget Hotel Guides) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I used this guide to plan a trip for 5 women travelers, including myself. We selected 2 hotels, one in Madrid and the other in Sevilla. All information was accurate and we were more than pleased with our selections. It is a must-read for anyone on a budget and looking for a bargain. What is especially comforting is that the author has personally stayed in all of the places she highlights in the book. I am looking forward to more books by this author, especially England and France.

I enjoyed locating hotels that suited my needs. I mailed a copy of the fax (from the back of the book) to several hotels and I started getting responses within 4 days. I am really happy and can't wait to travel to Spain.

This review is from: Hello Spain! an Insider's Guide to Spain Hotels: An Insider's Guide to Spain's Hotels $40 to $80 a Night for Two (Hello! Budget Hotel Guides) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This very useful guide lists hotels for 22 cities. Also includes extra appendices: useful websites, maps, books; what to pack; tips on accommodations; tourist offices; tips on phoning, faxing; useful phrases; schedule of holidays, events; and a reservation form. Directions included for each hotel. Would be useful to have a plot of hotel locations within the city for trip planning. Listing of hotels by zip code is not useful. Excellent overall.
