Remember the "Star 2" and "3 star" hotel on reliable travel sites? Must rely on the French system of classification? Written by an editor of the famous Paris guide, and this article will clear this issue and suggests some steps 4 to increase your chances of choosing the right hotel.
Deals are gold mines of information if you care to review the appointment travelers magical and disgruntled returning from abroad.
As the oldest president Paris-Eiffel-Tower-News.com release, I often re-read these forums to see the concerns expressed by supporters went to the "City of Lights".
Between appointments that keep coming back, and one stand out from the crowd: Why the 3 star rating really mean? Travelers tend to be confused by many rating systems used. I felt the explanation about the so-called educated.
The meaning of the stars in the US
First, let's be clear: there is absolutely no relationship between the number of stars awarded commercial travel sites for hotels, and the classification system of the French hotel.
The heart business of commercial travel sites sell you hotel rooms, airline tickets, car rentals, and vacation packages. It is designed to guide the choice to give the star products that roam.
When booking a room in such sites, and a large portion of your money goes to the player who displays Hotel Travel - up to 50% on known sites.
For this reason alone, it may be reasonable to ask: are these ratings is biased or tainted by corporate greed?
To make things more complicated, using all the travel site has its own method of classification. Consumer Reports has published a helpful article on this subject in the November issue of 2005.
In other words, the number of stars awarded by commercial travel sites are not a measure can be fully relied upon to choose the hotel.
The meaning of the stars in France
Paris hotel rating system works on a completely different set of rules.
1. It is a unified system: all are classified as well as hotels in Paris all French hotels for the same single-key basis.
2. commercial unborn classification system (NYMEX) purposes was supervised by French lawmakers without any concern for profit.
3. And last but not least, the hotel classification system Paris does not measure quality. Instead, it uses 22 evaluation criteria to assess the presence or absence of certain features in the hotel.
One of the main criteria:
- Room size and numbers - Soundproofing Rooms - Heating and air conditioning - the design of the bathroom - telephone system - Electrical equipment - Lift
Each condition varies from one category to another star.
Subjective quality compared to the amount of objectivity
French rating system does not take into account the self-quality standards.
Because of this limited approach, it does not guarantee that your expectations realized.
First, there are differences among the population concerned. For example, American travelers are used for larger rooms and size of the family room bed and medium-sized hotels available in Paris. This can be a source of disappointment.
In addition, the French rating system does not measure the quality of service - clean, odorless, staff attitude, speed of service, etc.
And so it may be risky to base the selection only hotel on the French classification system.
Safest bet
To allow the best opportunity to choose the right hotel 4 Paris recommend the following steps:
- Do you have a basic knowledge of French classification criteria (see above link to download) - Make sure to consult with clients on Travelocity.com - Visit the hotel itself - do not hesitate to send questions to the hotel.
Many travelers use Travelocity.com to comment on the hotels I stayed in. Does not meet 100% of guests throughout the year, if all extreme judgments and moderate opinions can be found on this open forum. My advice: prefer moderate examination with a little meat on the bones. They usually give you a useful picture of what to expect from the hotel - and lower quality.
Location of the hotel in Paris usually makes that allows you to see multiple views of bedrooms and bathrooms. I wanted to visit the website of the hotel itself because it is usually the place that offers the greatest number of images.
Finally, e-mail your questions to the hotel owners may or may not get a response, usually depending on the effectiveness of the receptionist in your language. Get helpful answers to your questions is a good sign that the hotel cares future customers.
You must follow these four steps will help you reduce the risk of disappointment during your stay in Paris. This does not guarantee, however. Remember that cultures differ from each other, and service expectations can not be fully understood. In such a case, and to contact the owner. They are usually eager to serve you to the best of their potential.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip to Paris!
