Comfort

What I look at: The room should have real quality of stay: space, light, noise, temperature and how easy the room makes it to live in for a night or a few days. But I also rate what you can feel as comfort outside the room. Is there a spa? A swimming pool? What does the hotel offer, and what does its surroundings offer, not only the room?

How I score it

  • 5: generous, bright, quiet and well thought out, with facilities and surroundings worth using.
  • 3: perfectly fine, with nothing missing for a normal stay.
  • 2 or below: cramped, dark, loud or very basic, or a hotel that offers nothing beyond the bed and the bathroom.

Comfort is not the same as Sleep. A room can be spacious and bright and still have a poor bed, or the other way round.

Most comfortable hotels

Ranked by Comfort score

  1. The old historic building, with the high-rise tower next to it. The hotel is split in two, old and new together, and it works. MGallery The Porter House Hotel Sydney Sydney 5.0
  2. The view from the top floor over the rooftops of Vienna, with St. Stephen's Cathedral on the right. The bar up here, Das Loft, is dreamy. SO/ SO/ Vienna Vienna 4.5
  3. The brick and glass tower of the Novotel Medellín El Tesoro. It is built on and next to a mall, and it is a modern interpretation of the Novotel look. Novotel Novotel Medellín El Tesoro Medellín 4.5
  4. Cleo, the rooftop restaurant, is stunning, with a great view and beautiful design. The service was wonderful and super friendly. Hyde Hyde Melbourne Place Melbourne 4.5
  5. The Costanero at dusk, when the glass facade finally shows its warm side. By day, the hotel looks rather cool and sober. MGallery Hotel Costanero Montevideo Montevideo 4.0
