Skyscanner has surveyed 1,000 British travellers to uncover what makes the perfect hotel. While the results show that a swimming pool and Wi-Fi are the ultimate most wanted features, it also highlighted that males and females prioritise different features and facilities.
Wi-Fi was prioritised by a massive 50% of men, but less than a third of women, while a substantial 18% of men want a gym and sporting facilities, compared to less than 10% of women.
The results also appear to show that women like the finer things in life, with 11% of them prioritising luxury bath products (compared to 6% of men). Family owned hotels were a surprise hit with men, being ranked second most favoured hotel type, while women only ranked them in 4th place overall.
While 13% of women voted a room with a view as their top requirement, a massive 72% of them wanted to see the sea compared to only 63% of men who opted for the watery view. Just over a quarter of women (26%) wanted the view to be of a cityscape or landmark, compared to over a third of men (36%) who chose the urban outlook.
Visitors to the Skyscanner.net/hotels site can pinpoint their perfect hotel using the site’s clever tools, which allow customers to filter by amenity such as swimming pool, gym or internet access. The site also allows customers to search by hotel brand, ideal for the 31% of survey participants who are looking to stay in an international hotel chain, and to view search results on a map – thus increasing their chances of that sea view (voted by 68% of participants) or perfect cityscape.
