the favourite hotels
The first 5:
Sona House, Alleppey, India. Coconut pancakes, the manically talkative Joseph and a fantastic tropical garden.
Gunes Hotel, Nemrot Dagi, Turkey. Grassy green carpet lawn in the middle of a desert.
Samode Palace, India. Blowing the budget in the Hall of Mirrors.
Sala Phae, Don Khone, Laos. Stunning rooms floating on the Mekong. The best place.
Coconut Cottages, Gili Air, Indonesia. Another day, another gorgeous tropical garden.
The next lot:
Snowhill Hotel, Pokhara: Bee Saigon, Saigon, Vietnam; Blaincroft, Gravenhurst, Canada; White Lion, Yangshuo, China; Jungle Junction, Livingstone, Zambia; WestEnd GuestHouse, Vancouver; The Alternative Space, Swakopmund, Namibia.
And the worst:
Bob Marley Hotel, Muktinath, Nepal. Anywhere at 3800m is going to be cold but this place adds carpet to make it damp as well. Add in the same 4 Bob Marley songs on repeat all night, a seemingly mute transvesite owner and chronic food poisoning (for Pete in 2001, Ms Love in 2004). Next time stay next door.
