How Are Hotels Rated?

The Basics Of Hotel Ratings

The first thing that needs to be mentioned is that there is no set star rating or standardized set of ratings across the board. In other words, a hotel that one organization or publication ranks as a five might be ranked at a three or four by another organization. Whenever you see a rating, then, you should look for the explanation or key that explains what each rating denotes. Otherwise, you could be in for a very unpleasant surprise when you actually go to stay at the hotel that you've booked.

Who Rates Hotels?

In Europe and in the United States, many different independent bodies rate hotels. Travel websites and online travel resources often appoint a star rating to hotels depending on certain variables. Travel associations typically use a one-through-five rating system as well. Since so many different print and online sources appoint ratings for hotels, it's not surprising that confusion sets in for many travelers - and that so many conflicting ratings occur. As a general rule, it is best to seek out a source whose ratings you generally agree with, then stick to it when it comes to booking a hotel stay.

A Note About Customer Ratings

Many websites now allow people who have stayed at a hotel to assign it a rating of their own. The amalgamated results of many people's ratings create a single rating that you can use to get a feel for the quality of a hotel. However, there are a few caveats to keep in mind about amateur, or customer, ratings. First of all, it's not unheard of for competing establishments to log onto travel websites, giving poor ratings to their competitors. Also, a guest who is disgruntled about an anomaly that occurred during their stay - like a power outage due to a storm - might assign an otherwise great hotel with a low rating.

Why Professional Ratings Are More Reliable

Since customer ratings can be colored by things beyond the control of the hotel in question, it is usually best to stick with the ratings of a professional travel organization, association or website when making your decision. Professional hotel raters know what to look for in a hotel, and apply the same standard to every hotel they visit. By using a single source for your hotel ratings, you can get a much fairer assessment of the hotels that you're thinking about staying in. Customer ratings are still useful, but they definitely shouldn't be used as the sole basis for staying - or not staying - at any given hotel.

What The Ratings Mean - A Breakdown

Although every organization has its own spin on the ratings system - and some European hotel ratings system use a one-to-four scale - it's possible to apply a general description of each star rating that is typically assigned to a hotel. Ratings one through five are described below.



  • One-Star - These are usually small, family-run establishments. Very basic accommodations will be provided and there won't be a restaurant on-site. However, it will be located within a reasonable distance to dining and transportation.




  • Two-Star - Although a 2-star hotel won't have room service, it is likely to have a restaurant on-site. Also, it will often be part of a chain that has consistent quality from location to location.




  • Three-Star - These are usually centrally located and have nicely furnished lobbies. Room and valet service is typical, and there's usually a pool.




  • Four-Star - Exceptional service and large, spacious rooms are the norm here. Valet and room service, a concierge and other convenient amenities are to be expected.




  • Five-Star - Only true luxury hotels receive this rating. They have multiple, high end restaurants on the premises and 24/7 room service. The rooms are extremely well-appointed and guests are catered to by a very attentive staff.

Nana is centrally located in the heart of Bangkok. It's epicenter of sex and booze is Nana Entertainment Complex near the major intersection of Nana and Sukhumvit road.

One of the best and newest is the Dawin Bangkok located on Nana Soi 4, just a 5 minute walk north to the naughty nightlife bars of Nana Entertainment Complex. This modern hotel is quite small and so are the rooms, but the furnishings are modern and very comfortable with a budget friendly price about 1780 Baht for a standard room.

If that's too much to spend then try Woraburi Sukhumvit Hotel & Resort. 1100 Baht will land you a plain clean room and even a pool to soak in during a hot and humid afternoon. It's also near Nana Entertainment Complex as well with a 10 minute stroll north of Nana Soi 4.

Bangkok Canals - "The Venice of the East"

Bangkok was known as the "Venice of the East" in the past as it was filled with many canals. People used to live on water doing their day to day activities while floating on boats. Many of these canals were filled in to make way for new roads and buildings over the past years but even now many of these old canals still remain on the Thonbui side of the Chao Phraya River.

Along these canals, we can see even now many people dwelling and they are very much used to the life in their floating residencies. They are visited monks who do alms rounds, the postmen, and even vendors coming by boats. One can enjoy a long tailed boat ride for about 1,000 baht to have some good time in a quiet environment and even to have a closer look as in how Thai people used to live along the canals. And also it is possible to visit so many temples that have very historical background. While traveling through these temples and other ancient monuments one can gain a thorough knowledge about the history and the development of the entire city.

More over, during the boat ride, it is also possible to stop at the Royal Barge National Museum, which is established along one of the main temples in the canals. That is also a major destination where most of the tourists intend to go in the hope of gaining more knowledge about the traditions and basic cultural aspects of Thailand as well as Bangkok. Therefore many tourists who come across Bangkok for their business purposes and to spend some good time do not miss the opportunity to spare some more time along the canals to relax them selves.

For visitors who opt to stay for a longer time Bangkok serviced apartments such as President Park will provide convenient access and comfortable stay to most of the other attractions in Bangkok as well.

Mentioning about more attractions that grab the eyes of the visitors are the monasteries called "Wat Paramal Ylkawat", "Wat Suwannaram", "Wat Chalo" and more near the canals in Bangkok. All of them are based on the history and various cultural aspects of Thailand which enhances the value of the nation.

A Must-See Sight in Bangkok

The most famous landmark in Bangkok, the "Grand Palace" was built in 1782, which was the residence of the Thai King, the Royal court and the administrative seat of the government for 150 years. The palace complex and its several impressive buildings are exquisitely decorated with gold and glass which literally dazzle in the sun covering an area of 218,400 sq. meters surrounded by walls built in 1783. These walls are 1900 meters in length, within which located the government offices and the Chapel Royal of the Emerald Buddha besides the royal residences.

Thai Kings stopped living in the palace by the twentieth century and now the palace complex happens to be the venue to mark all kinds of other ceremonial and auspicious happenings in the country. Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) contains a very famous and greatly respected emerald Buddha that dates back to the 14th century of which the robes are changed with the seasons at an auspicious time as a very important event of the country. The Outer Court, near the entrance of the palace used to house government departments in which the late kings were directly involved, such as civil administration, the army and the treasury.

The Inner Court which was like a small city entirely populated by women and boys is where the king's royal consorts and daughters lived. The Boromabiman Hall and Amarinda Hall, the original residence of King Rama and the Hall of Justice can be mentioned as the other highlights of the complex.

Nowadays, it can be called sort of a museum where people can gain a considerable knowledge about the restoration of the Grand Palace and the history of the country as well as the governmental systems of the famous kings who lived there. Visitors are allowed inside the spacious European style Grand Palace Hall and to the impressive Dusit Hall, perhaps the best architectural structure in this style and numerous Buddha images.

Especially a strict dress code applies to this sacred site with the temple of the emerald Buddha. Therefore all the visitors must come to the Palace properly dressed before entering to the temple. For instance men must wear long pants and shirts with sleeves and women must be similarly modestly dressed without any see-through clothes or bare shoulders.

Many Bangkok Serviced Apartments such as Grand President are located close to this Thai landmark, where visitors can find comfortable long stay accommodation. The Grand Palace stands as a testament to the prestigious cultural and social heritage of Thai people.

The Best Hilton Head Hotels For Your Honeymoon

If you are planning to honeymoon on Hilton Head Island, you are undoubtedly searching for the right Hilton Head hotels to stay in. Many people choose to get married and honeymoon on the island, because of its year round tropical climate, beautiful beaches, award winning golf courses and abundance of other activities to choose from.

If you are also getting married on the island, you should know that planning ahead is the best strategy since you will need to apply for a marriage license and also, if you are planning to say your vows on the beach, a permit from the Town of Hilton Head.

Depending on the length of time you plan on staying, you might want to choose a hotel with a kitchenette or full kitchen. You should also consider whether you plan on spending the majority of your time golfing, at the beach, or whether you are looking for a secluded romantic getaway.

Hilton Head Island first became established as a resort community in the late 1950's, after the expansion and growth of local lumber mills prompted the building of the first mainland access bridge, bringing land developers and architects to the area. The first hotel on the island was the Sea Pines resort, which is still in operation today. Other hotels and resorts soon followed, and honeymooners and vacationers alike began flocking to the area.

Located close by is Dafuskie Island, a residential island that is home to three golf courses and several resorts. This island is popular with people who are seeking a private island retreat with the attractions of Hilton Head island only a ferry ride away. Many Hilton Head hotels offer packages in conjunction with Dafuskie Island, giving you even more honeymoon options.

Above all, keep in mind that your honeymoon should be an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience, so it makes sense to plan ahead and reserve your accommodations well in advance, particularly if you are planning on honeymooning on the island during the peak tourist season. Local wedding planners can be an invaluable resource when it comes to finding the best combination wedding and honeymoon deals, and for the best honeymoon packages alone, there are many resources and sites online that you can help you find the perfect Hilton Head hotels to choose from. Do a little research and a little planning, and you will be well on your way to a perfect honeymoon.

Guide to Bangkok for Tourists and Backpackers

A guide to Bangkok for tourists includes a variety of unique attractions to see, some of the best spas in the world with a large choice of treatments and massages, a choice of some of the world's best golf courses in this golfer's paradise, and has hotels that are desirable but have low prices for those visitors who are on a budget. The Thai hospitality is especially friendly, which makes your holiday a delight. Thousands of restaurants present a wonderful culinary experience, and you can also enjoy the local "street" food to see what the real Thai cuisine is actually like.

The free online Skyscanner can give you information and book you on a cheap flight from London to Bangkok. The peak season is November to March, but if you go in the off season (May, June, and September are the least crowded), you can get better prices on flights and accommodations.

Traveling around the city and area can be accomplished by using an underground system, the sky train along a monorail, fast and air conditioned buses, tuk, and the popular water taxis. Thailand's trains are exceptional since they are on time, frequent, and comfortable.

The GRAND PALACE with its spectacular architecture was the home of kings since being built in 1782 and is still used by the current king, who holds ceremonies on the royal grounds. This Palace has the Emerald Buddha, the holiest and most revered of Thailand's images, which was carved from one piece of jade in the 14th century.

The TEMPLE OF THE DAWN (WAT ARUN) is Bangkok's most photographed temple with its spire, which is 70 meters high and is decorated with Chinese porcelain and small pieces of colored glass.

The ANCIENT CITY is the largest outdoor museum in the world with 280 acres, is shaped into a map of Thailand, and has amazing replicas of famous monuments, temples, and buildings.

The NATIONAL MUSEUM is one of the largest museums in Southeast Asia and was originally a palace. Artifacts from all parts of the country are housed in these beautifully-colored buildings.

The VIMAMEK MANSION MUSEUM was a three-story mansion containing 81 rooms. It is the largest golden teak building in the world and features chambers with royal memorabilia.

Thailand also has some of the best internationally-rated cinemas in the world. Some of the lounges hold only 20 to 40 people who are pampered with complimentary snacks and beverages and who can relax in comfort in seats that recline and come with a blanket and pillow!

Take a boat ride through the FLOATING MARKETS and buy vegetables, fruits, meats, and sweets from the canoes on the water.

Shopping in Bangkok is very popular because you can haggle and get as much as 80% off their goods. This amount of discount is surprising because the goods are of high quality.

Go to PAKCHONG CREEK and take a 45-minute ride on an elephant's back with a caretaker in charge.

The KHAO YAI NATIONAL PARK is a reserve with 153 species of exotic birds and wild animals.

If you are having a treatment procedure at Yanhee General Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand you and any family members that are with you are going to need a place to stay before, during and after your treatment. Fortunately, there are many options available for your lodging needs.

Bangkok, Thailand has all of the comforts of home that you will need during your stay there. There are many options for you to choose from when deciding where to stay including luxury hotels, boutique hotels, business hotels and even serviced apartments. Deciding on where to stay is simply a matter of deciding which accommodations you feel may be best for you.

First and foremost, there is nothing suitable close to the hospital. The closest suitable accommodations would be in the Ladprao area or Rachadaphisek area. This is so because the hospital is located at the outskirt of town. This may be one reason why the service prices here are so reasonable.

There are many luxury hotels in Bangkok that will offer you service that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. The luxury five star hotels in Bangkok offer outstanding service, sumptuous environments and facilities that are unsurpassed. The best part is, these luxury hotels are more affordable than you think. If you and your family are looking for a unique experience before, during and after your surgery procedure at Yanhee General Hospital, consider staying at one of the many luxury hotels located in the area. These facilities are generally located in the middle of town. Although as mentioned, you can find something nice in above two areas.

If luxury hotels aren't really your style, there are still many extremely nice and accommodating hotels for you to choose from. There are many affordable and budget hotels in the Bangkok area that though not five star, can still provide you with the first-class service you deserve at unbelievably affordable prices. Many of the Boutique hotels that are available in Bangkok also offer guests an affordable stay with an extremely unique experience. These hotels offer guests all of the comforts of home in a trendy environment, for a fraction of the cost of luxury hotels. You do need to check these out carefully before you make the final decision.

If you are planning on staying in Bangkok for a period of time because your procedure at Yanhee may be lengthy, you may want to consider one of the many serviced apartments that Bangkok has to offer. These serviced apartments are quite popular for international travelers that will be traveling with their family and feel a hotel is not the right choice for them. These apartments offer many of the same amenities as a hotel such as room service and house keeping, however they also offer more space than a hotel room and are stocked with their own fully equipped kitchen and living quarters. Staying in a serviced apartment in Bangkok truly gives you all of the comforts of home, at affordable prices.

Any of these lodging options are available to you when you have a procedure at Yanhee General Hospital. Do expect to use taxi and hotel transportation to get to the hospital. Anyway, you should have no problem finding the right place for you.
