We check every hotel against four criteria before it makes the list: walking distance, Booking score, review count, and real availability. No giant lists — just the ones that qualify.
A small, curated list — not another giant hotel catalogue.
Every hotel is within 15 minutes' walk of a fixed, published centre point for that city.
Nothing below an 8.5 rating makes the list, whatever else it has going for it.
Enough real guest reviews that the score means something.
Confirmed to exist under its listed name, with a real Booking.com property page.
