Awful, since then I've never bought any other lonely planet guide

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book some years ago and picked up an hotel in London. In their description the hotel was ok. What I found was a dirty cell, with a lurid floor and no hot water. Would you believe it? You arrive in London, stay for two days and you find your keys in an envelope outside the door, you pay almost a ransom to stay in this shitho...and still cannot wash yourself.
With great pleasure I threw the Lonely Planet in the bin. A total waste of money.
Thank GOD for the internet, no more need to buy such an awful guide.

What you see is what you get.

Soem people buy Lonely Planet guides and use them like bibles. Some people buy Lonely Planet guides so that they can avoid anything that is recommended and therefore avoid the people who use them like bibles. Then there is the middle road, who buy them to fill in the gaps.
My travels in Britain have not relyed on my copy of Lonely Planet. I try not to rely on any guide. But sometimes you need something other than the local tourist brochures, websites and recomendations from friends. You can do a lot worse than this guide for filling that gap.

The Best All-Purpose Guide to Britain!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2002

I have traveled to England a dozen times and I own current editions of 12 different guidebooks. This is far and away the best. It has the most useful information in the easiest-to-use format. For one thing it has all the travel planning facts you need. In addition, the destinations are described with writing that is evocative, imaginative and accurate. The recommendations are reliable and I was never steered wrong in selecting lodgings and restaurants. Before I found this book, I had to combine four different guidebooks to get all the information that's included in this one. From a veteran traveler, I highly recommend the Lonely Planet guide.

Certainly one of the better travel guide serieses

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2001

My husband bought me this book before we went to Britain for our honeymoon. But, in fact, my husband, who was born and raised in W. Yorkshire and lived in London for several years, actually learned some things about his own homeland.

great guide for a free spirit

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2001

This was the first LP guide I purchased. I highly recommend this guide book and used it extensively, while travelling in England and Scotland.
When I first got off the plane and ended up at the airport, I made the mistake of making a hotel reservation through the Thomas Cook booth at the train station. That was a mistake. The next day, I pulled out my LP guide, and found a hotel down the street that was half the price, and it was cleaner, and nicer to boot. From that moment onwards, I was hooked on LP guides.
Since I was travelling solo, and had a rail pass, I pretty much decided where I wanted to go when I woke up each morning. I would find a hotel when it started to get dark. When that would happen, I would pull out this guide, and find a place to stay.
Recommended.
