How does the hotel grading system work?
what is the quality criteria for a hotel to determine what "star" grade it is?
e.g. the different between a * hotel, ** hotel, *** hotel ****hotel and ***** hotel……and how come some hotels are diamonds?
please answer!
thanks!
we are booking a hotel in france at the moment and they are all really low star rating but really expensive!
The star grading is based on what the company that gives that star rating says a hotel needs to get that level. Generally, the more amenities a hotel offers the more stars. Mobil Guide rates hotels in the US but so do other companies.
The diamonds are AAA’s version of the stars. Their diamonds have a copywrite. So now one else can say diamonds. Stars are generic and any company can rate hotels using stars.
Generally, one star is for budget travellers. Two stars have better accomodations. Three stars would be okay with most people. Four stars would be upscale. Five stars would be considered exquisite and would also require excellent service by hotel staff.

five star is luxury and down to a two star which is basic accommodation. There are some decent hotels in Paris that are not expensive try Timhotel Montmarte which is reasonable and in a fabulous area
