Before you book

Ask for a lift, or a ground-floor room — many heritage hotels have steps and no lift.
Check how far the hotel is from the sights you care about, in minutes by road, not kilometres.
Prefer free cancellation until close to the date, in case plans or health change.
Look for 24-hour reception, in-house dining and a doctor-on-call policy.
Read recent reviews for noise — old-city streets and wedding venues can be loud late.
