What is the difference between hotel categories in Italy?

Well, first of all let us make one thing clear: not every 1 star hotel is bad and not every 5 star hotel is spectacular. Just like not every inn is bad and not every boutique hotel is very special! What are you talking about, Patricia? Well, what defines the classification of a hotel, in addition to the structure, are the services provided combined with the structure of the establishment. But remember that while a 5-star hotel tends to offer impeccable service, you will only find that homemade service in an inn, for example. So, when choosing a hotel, consider all this and more. Let’s find out here how accommodation in Italy works and what is the difference between the hotel categories? Stay with us and make the best of Italy! Here at Italy’s Dream Tourism you make the trip of your dreams!!! ALSO: see our “Accommodation in Italy – Tips for your holidays!” Read also: Examples of Itineraries in Italy!

Introduction

It is important to consider your type of trip: if you are with children, with elderly people, if you are going to take some time to have a business meeting, if you intend to work at the times you are at the hotel and there will be Wi-Fi available, if your trip is only tourist, etc. Find out here where to sleep in the main Italian cities: Rome, Naples, Capri, Milan, Florence and Venice

CHOOSE THE CITY YOU´LL BE STAYING

Location

Many people end up choosing the wrong hotel, because it only takes into account the daily rate, but the accommodation goes much further! Always check the location, remember that the farther from the tourist attractions your hotel is, the more you will spend with transport to get downtown! In the end, your savings is going to be six of one and half a dozen of the other – save on hotels and spend on transportation! Also think about convenience: if there are stores close by, supermarkets, pharmacies, train and/or metro stations, restaurants, etc. Read also How to save on accommodation in Italy?

Services offered by the Hotel

Last, but not least, the services offered by the hotel! Find out if the hotel has a restaurant, if breakfast is included in the daily rate, if the front desk works round-the-clock, if the check-in and check-out times-out are flexible, if they match your arrival and departure times, etc. These are items that many people end up neglecting and, therefore, some experiences can become true “unpleasant stories”.

4) Accommodation in Italy: What is the difference between the hotel categories? UNDERSTAND CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT

Check in and check out times: how does it work in Italy? Well, each hotel has its own policy, but normally check-in is allowed from 2 p.m. on the day of arrival and check-out must be done by noon on the day of departure. It is worth remembering that some hotels allow so-called ‘earlier check in’ and / or ‘late check out’, ask at your hotel front desk or at the time of booking.

Some curiosities

With daily rates that can reach (shocking!) 5 thousand dollars, there are the exclusive SEVEN star hotels! In the world, some of them are: Burj Al Arab, in Dubai; Morgan Plaza in Beijing; Laucala Island Resort, Fiji Islands and Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi.
Italy also had its 7-star hotel, the TownHouse Galleria Milano. Located at Galeria Vittorio Emanuele, the hotel was the only 7-star hotel in Italy, but it lost stars because it did not have its own SPA in its structure and, despite having built a modern and complete SPA, they chose to ‘boast’ only 5 stars. The daily rate there is a little more ‘modest’: it costs from 500 euros.
Some five-star and five-star luxury hotels, in order to maintain 5 stars, need to offer a more complete structure and have in their structure SPA, shop, restaurant, shuttle services, wake-up service, bar, meeting room, games room , swimming pool, etc. However, it is also possible to find swimming pools in simpler hotels, such as inns and rural hotels, as we will see below.

Floating Resort

The rooms are ‘on the water’ and the so-called ‘maritime resort’ is very different from many things we’ve seen around!
