Make a shortlist of hotels and costs
Everything depends on the budget that you can travel with. To avoid surprises during the winter group holiday, it is smart to book a hotel that offers half board.
With this, you are sure of a good breakfast and you do not have to think about dinner anymore. The danger is that if you as a group have to look for a restaurant every evening, there is sometimes no place for a large group of eaters.
A hotel with its own restaurant is then preferred; that provides peace of mind where the own tables form a cozy beacon to discuss the adventures of that day with a good glass of wine.
Hotels are mainly judged by location and guest reviews. Therefore look at both Google reviews and reviews on Tripadvisor for a first indication of the quality / price ratio.
