Star City Buffet

Can you expect any star in Spain the same thing?

The short answer is definitely NO. Each of the seventeen regions in Spain have given an official note on their own terms making it impossible to make an informed choice (based on only one classification) when deciding where to live. The only common factor in all regions is that the hotels they rate as one, two, three, four or five stars according to the facilities offered.

Generally five stars is generally up to the expectations of customers because they are the end of the luxury market and are typically offered by hotel chains that have international or national brand quality to match. Being the high end market, they are of course only for those who can pay a clientele with high expectations.

Four and three star hotels in Spain tend to be the institutions most disappointed when it comes to customer expectations that they vary widely by region and town to town. It is not uncommon to find a three star hotel where guests view that the four-star and one star to four clients for consideration as three.

To add to the confusion the official list, the hotel is not necessarily the one that customers see as most hotels are booked online or through tourist brochures which have their own star rating criteria ( or the sun, the corona, the key, the moon, etc. diamond). It is also very common for clients to have their own idea of what it really means a classification based on service and comfort of the hotels in their own country. In Spain, the service and especially the type of food offered is different from other European destinations and / or course is "typically Spanish", as one might expect.

A rough guide of what to expect for each star.

1 star - basic rooms, some with bathroom or shared bathroom. Often, no amenities such as lounge, swimming pool, TV, phone room, safe or hosting services. Generally, most small rooms without balcony or sea view Although basic, this may be a good option if a holiday budget. You may be pleasantly surprised in this type of hotel if you ask to see your room before paying. Expect food to be simple Spanish meal with limited choice sometimes only a bed and breakfast or room only. Limited fire safety standards.

2 stars - Basic accommodation with some acceptable comfortable bathrooms. Many offer better services and maybe even a small pool. The rooms can have a television, air conditioning, large restaurant, a better style food with a choice may be more generally on a buffet. Many two-star hotels on the good sites on the seafront are unable to have a 3 star hotel due to building restrictions, but that offer service three star quality, but small pieces. Limited fire safety standards, but most are exits now.

3 stars - Here you will get a great hotel with better facilities like television, games room, pool and garden or terrace, 24 hours reception, lounge, separate bar. Generally with large restaurant with a choice of whole foods buffet for breakfast and dinner. Rooms are all en usually with full bathroom, television, safe, balcony, air conditioning, phone and large enough to accommodate two twin beds. Most do not offer room service. Many hotels now offer only three stars gym limited. Better discharge standards and better equipment such as sprinkler piping can be expected.

4 stars - Grand Hotel with formal deigned surrounding decor for public spaces. Usually offer a choice of bars and large restaurant with buffet service more a'la carte dining in many choices. Most offer outdoor and indoor heated pool with gym, sauna too. The rooms are very apt.
