Summary: The best guide to lodging I've used
Review: I used this book in all three cities and found it to be a great source of information. In the last 20 years, I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, using a number of guidebooks, and this book was, by far, the best at finding detailed reviews of inexpensive, quality lodging. I really felt I was getting a great value at the properties I stayed at. I particularly liked the information and recommendations on specific rooms to stay in... it is obvious the author actually visited each of these establishments. You won't be disappointed if you use this guide.

Summary: Secrets like this should be kept even better.
Review: The book is a disappointment. In fact, I think that it is a rip-off conceived by Central European hoteliers. The author and the publisher have probably received significant kickbacks for such clever advertising of expensive hotels.

I cannot speak about the Budapest part of the guide, but hotels listed in the Prague and Vienna sections are anything but cheap. You can find much better deals in both cities. A traveler should be kept away from secrets like this. I have lived in Vienna for almost two months and traveled to Prague with my family before we purchased Sandra Gustafson's book, and we found nice inexpensive accommodation in both places easily.
