About

Hello, I'm Matt. I live in Kraków, and I'm an introvert who loves to travel.

I worked in the travel industry for over a decade, so I've seen a lot of hotels from the inside. These days I stay exclusively in luxury hotels and fly business class, and I write about them honestly: what's genuinely worth the money, and what isn't.

Being an introvert shapes how I judge a place. For me, luxury means being able to actually rest: quiet rooms, views worth sitting with, breakfasts you don't have to queue for, and staff who are warm without being overwhelming. Big party resorts are not my thing; a balcony above a valley is.

What you'll find here

Honest luxury hotel reviews from my own trips, so far across Italy, Germany, Thailand, Dubai, Vietnam, Denmark and Greece, along with itineraries and tips. Every review covers what it's like to stay there day to day, what's good, what isn't, and who I think it suits.

How I review

• I pay my own way unless a post clearly says otherwise.
• Some links are affiliate links. If you book through them I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what I write. More about this.
• All photos are mine, taken during the stay.
• No star ratings for the sake of it, just a clear verdict and who the place is (and isn't) for.
