What is the criteria for rating the hotels in different star categories(in detail).?
A four star hotel will indeed cost more than a one star in the same city. The four star hotel will have more services and amenities, including meeting space for conferences. The one star will usually be very basic; not all rooms may have bathrooms in them. I usually look for 2 or three star hotels when I’m traveling in big cities. Today, most offer private baths in the (usually smallish) room and most of the time include television, a phone and occasionally even a mini bar. For a splurge that’s often a good bargain, I’ll look for a four star hotel in lest touristy areas, especially when it’s hot and I want a day with decent air conditioning. Just remember–the ratings on the outside of the building are based on an objective facilities and services provided assessment and are not in any way related to ambiance, charm or other subjective criteria. Think government ratings. Guido, a government pencil pusher for his whole life, goes into a hotel with a checklist. Is there a restaurant? Yes
