Default Worth staying in a classy hotel?

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!

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?


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.
