Get to know your hotel
There are a few things you can do to get to know the hotel you would like to stay in. You should talk to the owner or manager, they will always be happy to give you information about their rooms. You must also visit the website of the hotel to check out the galleries about the rooms as well as their facilities.
And there is one thing that is essential to do: read the reviews. Go to travel blogs and big travel websites to see what others say about the experiences they had about the facilities, services, the staff and all other things.

Location is important
And it is not the location of the hotel that is important, but also that of the room within it. First of all, a room with a view (or with front view) might sound promising, but for instance if the hotel looks at a busy street you may have unpleasant experiences with the noise.
Also, to stay near the kitchen or the restaurant of the place may prove to be unlucky. The sound of the guests and deliveries may disturb your peace. It is a small thing, but old and new wings of older hotels may be slightly different in their structure of rooms and even the modernity of facilities, so you may want to look out for that aspect as well.
