Worth staying in a classy hotel?
 

What are readers thoughts on travelling to Asia and spending big $$$
to stay in an expensive hotel? Would people prefer to stay in a
hostel given that hotels should only b eused to sleep in?

Worth staying in a classy hotel?
 

Usually when I travel, I would stay in a 2 to 3 star hotel depending on the
location. I guess for me what is important is really accessibility to where
I need to go (near public transport zone), a safe environment and a
no-nonsense
place. Basic comfort is important which includes clean sheets,
air-conditioning
and a personal shower.

I guess it depends on the situation. If you are travelling to meet a
business
client then a business class hotel might be a good place to be in or if it
is
your honeymoon and you want it to be a time to remember. Some travel
via tour packages and they do not really have much choice of where to
stay.

Normally I choose 3 star!! Except in Bangkok, where I keep going back to the
Phatumwan Princess - 4 star - at a 3 star price; and so well positioned!!!

Everyone's circumstances and preferences are different. I know one person
who would book a 5* hotel at the end of trips, just so she enjoys some
luxury before heading home.

Personally I think hostels are a bit scary as most often you have to share
the room aswell as the bathroom but is is a great experience if you like
that kind of thing & you can meet lots of people(watch your belongings!) I
agree with the other guys tho, air-con is pretty much a must over there and
private bathroom is always nice. I do always have a week of luxury if I can
afford it tho. A 5* hotel can be the same price as a crappy english b&b so
why not for a while!

Absolutely agree. It is well worth some extra $$'s to be able to get at
good
shower, clean bed, good space to unwind after a long day out in the hot
humid
city (or whatever). I have had my share of lousy lodging while
travelling round
europe by train in the late 70's early 80's. If you can afford it the
extra $$'s
spent is forgotten the day after coming home anyway.
