Sleep

What I look at: How well do I sleep? That includes the bed, the pillows, the temperature, the atmosphere, the noise level (inside and from outside), the air-conditioning and the small things that make a night better.

How I score it

  • 5: I fall asleep fast, I sleep through, I wake up rested. A great bed and silence.
  • 3: acceptable. Maybe a bit of noise or an average mattress.
  • 1: a bad night. Noise, a hard or worn bed, or an air-con that keeps me awake.

I rate the night I actually had. If a room faces a busy street or an airport, that counts, and I describe it in the review.

Best hotels for sleeping

Ranked by Sleep score

  1. 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 5.0
  2. The old town of Tallinn with its church towers and a cruise ship in the port, seen from the sea as I arrived by ferry from Helsinki. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the terminal. Swissôtel Swissôtel Tallinn Tallinn 5.0
  3. The tall glass facade with its clever V-shaped structure. A very good airport hotel, and for one night one of the best airport stays I have had. Novotel Novotel Auckland Airport Auckland 5.0
  4. The illuminated TRIBE sign on a natural stone wall at night. The hotel is in an old building that has been renovated to a very high standard. Tribe TRIBE Riga City Centre Riga 5.0
  5. Mercure Mercure Grand Hotel Biedermeier Wien Vienna 5.0
