What does the name of the hotel

Well, again, stuck in a hole (option: Well, again, chose not know that) - such statements often hear from tourists, who had identified the wrong choice of hotel, spend the whole holiday irritated, depressed. Yet too often in the name of the hotel laid its basic parameters, and, say, reading the name Long Beach Garden Hotel & SPA, can already imagine what the concept of leisure facilities. The main thing - not to be confused in terms! So, in the name of the hotel you can meet ...

B & B, it - the board

This is the real private sector - usually guesthouse located in the same house where the owners live. The price includes Bed & Breakfast (Bed and Breakfast), as incorporated in the title. Pet boarding usually take no more than six guests at a time and are not official "star" classification. Because of this they are quite unpredictable: lucky - get in a pleasant home town, where the same will be served hot and hearty breakfast will provide valuable practical advice. No luck - find yourself visiting sloppy and indifferent mistress, get a handful of breakfast cereal with milk and a cup of fresh tea. But in any case there is nothing to count on the hour room service, mini-bar and a hair dryer in the room, and sometimes their own bath or shower will be. Or, for example, shower may be right in the room, and the toilet is shared with other guests. Finally, the last negative - pensions are rare in the center, usually the private sector shifted to the outskirts.

All these disadvantages balances the biggest plus - price, which can be significantly less than in the hotel with the same level of service. 20-30 euros for a decent room (that is, for two) - a very real cost to resorts in Turkey, Croatia and even Western Europe. Besides mistress, seeking regular customers or even advertising on "word of mouth", usually offer a really clean and comfortable rooms. But firms rarely work with board, because the owners do not like this: after the travel agency will have to "unbuckle" commission, far better to work directly with a tourist!

Guest House

The hosts, "overgrown" stage guesthouse can open your Guest House, or a guest house, accommodation in which a little more expensive than B & B, but still much cheaper than in the "real hotels." Guest bedrooms (4 to 10) occupy the whole house, and works not only the owner, but also hired staff. Recently, at the entrance of the mini-gostinichek even stars appear, but the overall level of service they still unpredictable. Facilities can be either en suite - a room or private - that is, in the hallway, but intended only for the guests of one room. Breakfast, again, can be either hot or cold continental (but certainly not rich buffet). Usually, owners of guest houses (as well as B & B) do not buy a license to sell alcohol, so drink a glass before bedtime will not work.

Perhaps the author of this article just had bad luck, but I personally have not seen any really clean and the friendly Guest House. The impression that the money for normal service and good staff host more are missing, and tinker with the very making the bed and cooking omelettes no longer want.

Hostel

Urban residence, where the shower shared, and the rooms on the 2-20 people are bunk beds. Sometimes even in the rooms there is no separation of "boys and girls". But in Europe the cost of the night and a modest breakfast - about 10-15 euros per person, and this fact determines the clientele: young people stay in hostels all over the world, backpackers and other unpretentious people. In hostels rather strict rules: for example, it is forbidden to be there during the day, at the hour of cleaning, at a certain time in the evening light is extinguished, prohibits drinking alcohol and smoking. In the hostel there is usually a common living room, where there is a computer with Internet access and a TV. Very often the hostels are located in the historical district may hold even entire locks! By the way, very often hostels offer guests their own excursions, which are different fantasy and low price.

Lodge

City hotel, which is usually located near large highways. It is understood that the guests stay here for one, maximum two nights, and all they need - a clean bed and a shower. The price usually does not include breakfast, but the lodge may be the door to door with a restaurant that feeds him in the morning guests at a fixed price. The rooms are simple, like turnip: in the bathroom you will find a piece of myltsa, tiny TV will take 2-3 channels, air conditioning - or it is not common at all. But rooms in lodges are spotlessly clean and comfortable.

Lodges feature is that the fee charge for the room as a whole, regardless of the number of people living in it (although the number of guests should match the number of beds). In other words, a single room at the Lodge Road, but a family with four beds (one of which can be "Attached", that is nominated from a king) - a very, very profitable.

Inn

Originally was the name of the room, attached to the bar and wore the most prosaic sense - the client has to eat and drink, could spend the night, if he does not want to or can not move on.

Some hotels are, of course, has long outgrown "pribarnost", as, for example, the famous chain of Holiday Inn, but it's an exception. Inn's restaurant and bar open to the public, there can be full of smoke and the smell of beer - this is the specificity? But, interestingly, the rooms are usually very, very bad, and is a homely and well-kept, and the breakfast hot and tasty. It is noticed that the Europeans gladly spend in such hotels and private parties, stag and Hen party, after which go home just unreal.

Small Hotel

As soon as the word appears in the title of hotel, on the facade necessary in my stars. The word small (small) indicates that at no more than 20 rooms. It certainly has a nice breakfast room, a small living room, and each room is individually decorated and elegantly. Nothing, of course, expect that in such a crumb you have swimming pool or tennis court. And as for the "big" stars small hotel is always short of the essential characteristics of the infrastructure, it usually gets less stars than worthy of the quality of service and interior design. The price included breakfast, however, as a rule, in the hotel restaurant for dinner or even a drink.

Small hotels - most Western European institutions and are usually located in the most romantic places in historic buildings or even castles.

Resort Hotel

The presence of the word in the title of resort (resort literally) indicates the large size of the hotel and the presence of a strong sporting and entertainment infrastructure. This proud name in Europe is usually assigned hotels in 4 * -5 * (and in Asia, even treshki can become "Resort") which are located on the coasts or in other resorts. It is understood that in this hotel are people who prefer an active lifestyle, but are not going to run around the neighborhood in search of entertainment. Therefore, in the Resort is bound to have a large pool (or more), sauna, gym or a fitness center, tennis courts, a private disco, mini club for children. Depending on the slope of the hotel you can find golf courses, diving schools, Squash, Surfing Centre - in short, all that in the representation of owners need for an active and healthy holiday. The price includes either breakfast and dinner or full board or аll inclusive.

Holiday Village

Translated Holiday Village - a village to rest, which means that you are invited to a family, relaxed, simple in its essence rest. The word village can be found in the names of hotels as low skills, and quite high - the latter have even a graduation: HV-1 corresponds to 5 *, HV-2 - four stars. To live in the bungalow offers (large case - it is not "village theme"), and its equipment is not impressing: floor tile for sure, replaced bathroom shower, small TV takes only 4-5 channels, in room no easy chairs and a huge bed . Instead, the area will be enormous, animation - strong entertainment infrastructure - an interesting and obviously family oriented. Much attention is given to children in the villages, which is mandatory for a mini club, and even a few.

SPA

Usually appears in the title just two terms: Resort & SPA, and this means that the hotel has a powerful SPA-center. That SPA, and not just the beauty parlor, where they can do a manicure or impose a moisturizing mask. SPA will use the most modern (or, conversely, deeply traditional) methods for face and body on the basis of mineral water. In the West SPA-hotels - Luxury 4-5 * and usually quite expensive, but in the East (for example, in Thailand) even modest trehzvezdochnik offers such services. SPA-packages are never included in the price, and sometimes for a 6-day course have to lay out the amount an equivalent cost of the permit. However, they can not buy, and just enjoy the good service and a number of "fine" of services in hotels. After all, these hotels are designed for those who prefer to relax in comfort and luxury, a little lazy, expensive, beautiful ...

Self-Catering Apartments

This, in essence, little apartment, in which, in addition to the bedroom area, there is also a dining-living area, and always - kitchen area, where at least a refrigerator, a microwave and a small set of dishes. In the more expensive and comfortable apartment has a stove, a comfortable dining table, sofa, and then another, and a washing machine and dishwasher. What is not - so it's servants, which will prepare the breakfast and clean bed. Apartment - a temporary home where family and live comfortably with, buying products at retail, you can prepare the usual food and great savings on trips to restaurants and cafes. Our market has not yet taken root apartment, because it is better for our tourists to relax once in a year, but we are so not to think about anything. A practical Europeans who like to travel often, love this kind of economical and comfortable accommodation. Apartments come in different sizes: studio (one room with a kitchenette), one bedroom (second room - living room, kitchen), with two, three or four bedrooms. The more bedrooms, the more people can live in an apartment, but multi-room apartments are rare.

Price per room is never defined "in person", always full for the apartment, no matter how many people either lived there (but more than the number of people still will not be allowed). Private apartments do not take tourists on 1-2 nights, and residence in a few weeks.

Aparthotel (or Serviced Apartments)

Those flats, only to perform a larger body of hotel type. There is a maid who cleaned the rooms, and basic facilities: swimming pool, bar, restaurant, etc. The cost of living is more expensive, but less worries on vacation. Usually, the restaurant can order and pay in advance for breakfast, or even dinner. Most apartkompleksov offered to tourists, it is working on such a system.

Beach Hotel

Veach word (beach) in the title indicates that the hotel is located on the sea front. Stardom on the level of service is not affected.

Garden Notel

Garden - a garden, and therefore, the hotel boasts a beautiful green area. But, with few exceptions, "garden" is located on the second and further lines from the sea. Star can be anything.

Of course, every rule has its exceptions, but they only confirm the general rules described above. That's the hotel anthroponimics, use of health!
